"CHURCH INTERFERENCE"

The hackneyed subject OF Chuch
interference In politics has been revived
In Idaho lately, by some cunning but
not wise politicians, who hope to curry
favor with dsaffected persons OF both
parties, by agitating contention In
which some folks are always ready to
join. The matter has been taken up
by Fremont county paper called the
Teton Peak. II is so pertinent and
conclusive that we copy from the edi-
torlal as follows, WIN some OF the dis
gruntled please explain wherein the So
called Church dictaton In politics was
exercised In these cases2
"a word (sometimes) 10 the wise is
sufficient, but there are dumb phoOls

our local politics. At the last Repubi-

the result? Did church influence elect

ARE THEY OF ISRAEL?

From French sources comes the sug.
gestion that the japanese have liberal
mixture In their veins Of the blood Of
Israel The ST. James Gazette admits
the FEASIBILITY OF this guess, and quotes
in proof OF II the following facts:
In the ancient Shinto ritual Of Japan
are some curious Observance of "A dis-
tinctly jewish character The Shlnto
temples, like the Jewish tabernacle
have holy place and "a holy OF HOLES. "A
representation OF AN ark and cistern
The priests, called Kan Nushi, priests
Of the Lord, wear. like the Jewish
priests, white linen dresses, turbans.
and hreeches, I'm which they offer up the
mochi or unloaveued bread, sweet wine.
and wave the Offering OF the first fruits.
Several OF the Shinto festivals occur on
the same days as the Jewish many Of
their ceremonies being identical"
The London Spectator adds the fol-
lowing particulars:
"They have stood apart In their
Islands for centuries. during which
time they have developed, and have
grown up under the pressure OF a civil
lzation OF their own. They have inn
blbed, like all other islanders, some
thing from all the forces with which
they came In contact. They have
passed, like Europeans, through
heightened feudal period, and feudal-
ism breeds az least courage and the
habit of obedience to accepted leaders.

They have developed an art Of their
own, a folklore OF their own, habit of
political thinking widely distinct In
kind from that OF any other Asiatic
people. What they exactly are is stu
I'm many respects mystery 10 European
Observers but Il Is quite possible that
the broad congratulations by which we
describe continents do not fully apply
10 them-that they have become In the
process Of the centuries during which
they have remained In seclusion
without parallel a distinctly separate
people, deriving their strength ana
their weakness from original sources,
and no more Asiatic than they are Eu-
ropean."

for the following:
1.-THE whole ancient feudal constltu-
ton Of japan proves 30 the historian,
who happens 10 be an anthropUloBst
too the relatively great Aryau element
In the Japanese stock. But there are
other significant signs of the same
truth. The japanese dynasty and the
japanese nobillty-accordng 10 all re-
liable accounts-arc distinguished In
their physical characteristics from the
masses Of the japanese people IN a
IutnlOn so ueClueu lntl luN lhIllih9
Aryan origin Of the former at least be-
comes sensibly apparent, Types Of al
most absolutely Aryan complexion are
by no means rare. Those who regard
human annals az the natural history OF
mankind will regard the much COM
nented Japanese capacity for assimlla-
ting various features OF modern civilila-
ton as additional evidence OF the pres
ence of strong admiNture Of Aryan
blood
Some people rldicue the idea that the
blood OF Israel can be found among
various nations OF the earth, widely
separated by oceans and continents,
but anyone who will take the trouble
of going back through the circles Of
past generations, of which each is mar
rover as to numbers than the succeed
ing one, win lnd that he cannot proceed
through SO very many centuries, before
he comes to ancestry common 70 mill
lions Of the people now living, It has
been proved that the Bernadottes
though French, were related 10 the an
client house Of Wasa, and that Queen
Victoria was descendant Of David
Undoubtedly the blood OF Israel, now
IL found IN most countries Of the earth,
and It Is, therefore, no wild speculation
that leads ethnologists 20 consider the
presence OF that noble blood In Japan.

Miss Keller is probably the first per-
son deprived Of 80 many faculties VINO
has ever been given school and coli
lege education In the ordinary sense;
that Is TO say, who has been taught
side by side with normally equipped
students, In the same classes and by
the same methods II seems almost
natural as II certainly Is satisfactory,
that the success OF the undertaking
should be credited to Boston and to the
institutions that lie within its greater
confines, Miss Sullivan, who was the
blind girls first teacher and has been
her companion and assistant ever since
she came to her when she was a child
OF six or seven, Is a Massachusetts, young
woman graduated as a teacher of the
afflicted from the Perkins Institution
In South Boston. Mr. Arthur Gilman,
as the head Of the Cambridge School
for Girls, devised the classroom meth
DDS that first put her on the same foot
ing with other scholars. And now Rad
cliffe College has just awarded her a
diploma which testihes that she has
met all the requirements for obtaining
a bachelors degree at Harvard uni

Manfestly her triumph in winning a
bachelors degree was the result Of ar
duous toll, And this intellectual labor,
which is almost inconceiyable TO one in
the full possession of all his faculties,
was the result of an intense thirst for
knowledge. Many will ask, was II
worth while?" The answer which Miss
Keller would doubtless give is the uni
versal answer of those who pursue a
classical course" In college-the only
rational answer, indeed, that can be
given To these the mental satisfac-
ton and pleasure that come from the
possession OF nowledge-whether prac-
tical or not-is ample compensation for
all the labor and time expended in its
requirement.

THE POWERS IN MOROCCO.
Independence Beige,

The Madrid government knows per-
fectly well that II can not be too cap
tlous for the reason that Spain would
be absolutely incapable OF maintaining
any considerable pretensioDs. The Span
ish people in the mass are not of this
opinion, and az the time Of the conclu-
sion OF the treaty under discussion the
entire Madrid press was greatly
alarmed over the prospect OF Morocco
entirely escaping the fingers of Spain.
There Is no doubt, however, that II the
Spanish claims are placed on this foun-
dalton there can be no hope OF
obtaining satisfaction, for the reason
that In the present state Of affairs Mo-
rocco belongs to France and is not
going to get away.

HELEN KELLER.
New York Evening Mail.

II Is not a matter Of surprise that the
graduation OF Helen Keller, the dear
dumb and blind girl from Rodcline col
lege this week, AT the age Of twenty
four should attract much attention, II
Is am event without precedent ana,
though there are today scores Of deaf,
dumb and bund people in the United
states, and probably always will be as
many, the event Is not likely TO be re-
peated, II is of special Significance
not because It registers the success or
a blind deaf mute who IS pre-eminently
or phenomenally endowed intellectually
because HELEN Keller IL not that--but
because II marks the triumph OF a
steady, persistent self-sacrlhclng course
OF hard work on the part OF Miss kel-
Ter herself, Miss Annie Mansfield Sulli-
van her teacher" and other persons
who have carried her course Of educa-
ton through TO triumphant conclu-
sion.

EVENING PAPERS FIRST.

An investigation which is OF great
interest especially TO business men, has
been made by the Rochester, N. Y,
Evening Times, regarding the relative
value of advertising in evening and
morning papers, The Times sent let
ters Of inquiry throughout the country
and received replies from leading BUSH
ness houses, stating their experience.
According to these replies, 1902 pre-
ferred the afternoon papers, fl the
morning and Fl made no statemnt as to
preference, Seyenty-eight Of the stores
gave the copy first to the evening pa
pers, II first TO the morning, and 20
gave fresh copy to BOTH Nine used
evening papers exclusively and three
morning papers only, The statistics
show that four out Of five OF the big
gest department stores in the country
give their copy first to the evening pa
pers and repeat the ads the following
morning, The reason assigned for this
Is that In this way the advertisement
