A simple and tasteful homemade
picture frame may be constructed from
common gas pipe cut into suitable
length and tied together at the cor
ners with shoe strings. A neat paper
weight may be made by wrapping half
q brick In paper such as butchers use
and tying 1t with red tape. A dainty
towel rack may be fabricated from a
baseball bat and two cigar boxes.
Shellac the boxes and sandpaper the
bat. An ordinary cobblestone hand

The highest court of the land has
declared constitutional the new suf-
frage laws of some southern states de-
signed to disfranchise uneducated ne
groes. Maryland is considering SIM
liar laws. The ability to read and
write English or to understand a sec
ton Of the constitution when read to
them, is not too much to ask Of men
who are to become factors in the max
ing and administering OF laws for the
republic. Those are the tests required
Of blacks and whites alike by the new
laws. The other requirements, though
seeming to apply to all, really bear
only upon ex-slaves. This may be the
best way to eliminate the votes OF ig-
norant colored voters. and 1t will be
an incentive to the young negroes to
gain an education. The same test when
applied to immigrants, the ability to
read or understand English, would cut
OF from suffrage rights a very large
number who now vote while being in
no sense true American citizens. The
intent Of suffrage laws has been sadly
over-ridden.

hundreds of Turks.

MORM0NS IN IDAHO

In the clamor now going on among
members of the press and prominent
politicians about Mormons and the
Mormon influence it is refreshing to
hear occasionally something calm and
sane on the subject. 1t goes to show
that much of the agitation is only
noise and that at the heart of the mat
ter people are looking on with sober
Judgment and that all attempt to Gre
ate a religious fight in Idaho politics
VIII prove futile.
The Teller heartily commends the
thought expressed in the following in
terview recently given to the press in
Portland by Judge J. H. Richards of
Boise. Judge Richards says:
''The Mormon church in Idaho is
growing. There is nothing remarkable
In the fact. and it is not especially
one third of the votes at our elections.
and they are a prominent factor in our
development. While some Of them
have moved over from Utah, by far
the greater number are proselytes from
other states and from Europe. They
are generally good citizens, and l see
no reason to regard them as a mem
ace. The reason for the increase in
membership is easily found when one
understands the interest the church
takes in the material welfare Of its
members.

looks upon the church az his best
friend. There are no very poor in our
Mormon settlements. Everybody works
and the church has paternal caro-
