Bills have been introduced in th
house making adultery and polygamy
crimes, and the penalties provided are
such as meet the requirements of the
case.
Y With these measures enacted into
law, the record of the state will be
cleared with respect to its statutory
provisions, but some additional leg
islation will be needed if the state is
to be given power to enforce the pro-
, posed laws in some sections in GER
tain classes of cases which it might
seem desirable to prosecute.
The Spokesman Review of Spokane,
the great republican daily of eastern
Washington, is also one of the opinion
that there is really no earnest inten-
tion to interfere with the Mormons
and their practices on the part of
those in the saddle in Idaho 1t says ;
Governor Gooding, in his message
to the Idaho legislature makes one
brief reference to the, Mormon ques-
tion by recommending the passage of
law against polygamy. 1t is not
likely, though, that the governors
brief and academic utterance will
convey uneasiness to the Mormon
hierarchy. Experience has shown
that the polygamous Mormons have
little to fear from law such as gov
ernor Gooding recommends. They
are extensive colonizers and are care
full to conceal their polygamous prac-
tees until they have gained such nu-
merical strength as to become polit-
ical power and thus are able to pre-
vent effective prosecution.
Governor Gooding will not trouble
the many-wived citizens of Idaho.
That much is plain. 1t is yet to be
seen whether the governor and the
political organi zation behind him
will go further and try to protect the
Mormon hierarchy against the vigor-
Ou5 dubl- 1uOIIuOu crusade OF SENATOR
Dubois. In this war Dubois seems
to have enlisted to finish fight. His
motives will be assailed, as the mo-
tives of men who attack entrenched
evil are always assailed.
But disinterested observers will not
be swayed by that fallacy. Senator
Dubois motives, whether they be
selfish or exalted, have nothing to do
with the Mormon question. 1t is
enough to inquire whether he is right |
Dr. wrong. If right, he should be
supported by the people of Idaho.
If the Mormon church does counte
nance polygamy, directly or indi-
'ectly, if Mormon leaders put the
church above country, if the Mormon
is exerting a wrongful
influence on Idaho politics, Mormon
SIN should be fought until it com
'lies with the decencies and propri-
ties that other church organizations

CALL HIM RUBBER HORSE"
"Dumbarton" Does Several Little Con-
tortionist Stunts.

''The rubber horse" is the sobriquet
given by the members of No. truck
company, Harrison street, between
! Fayette and Baltimore streets, to Dunn
barton, the great gray gelding that
| helps to pull their apparatus to fires,
says the Baltimore News. "The rubber
horse" has the peculiar faculty of be-
ing able to scratch himself exactly as
cat sometimes does in front of fire.
When he is little tired or feels that
his muscles need relaxing, Dumbarton
stretches his front legs directly in
front of him, bending down on them
until they are almost fiat on the
ground and extended in front of him,
while his back legs and hindquarters
appear from his position to be lifted
upward
The first time that DumbartOn per-
formed this contortion was on the
street while he and his wagon mate
were waiting for their friends to ex-
t1nguish blaze. The position was SO
unusual for horse to take that the
firemen around the truck wagon
thought that the animal had fit of
some kind and rushed forward to raise
him up. But Dumbarton, with a twin
kle in his eye, seemed to say 81 was
only doing a little contortionist stunt |
for you," and slowly regained his feet. |
sometimes Dumbarton performs his
contortionist act in his stall, but he
does it while he is standing
On the street, and when he elects to
perform a crowd always gathers
around the rubber horse to see him
stretch like cat.

Vigo, one of the Spanish watering
places, offers a novel amusement to
It's patrons. Oyster parties are the
rage and are of daily occurrence.
Large parties are formed which pro-
coed to the beds in large, fat-bottomed
boats, and the oysters are fished up
and opened as soon as they are
brought into the boat.
Few refreshments apart from the BIZ
valves are offered, as one of the inter.
esting features of the party is the
awarding of prize to the one who
consumes the greatest number.
Ihey are passed to the guest on the
smell, and these shells are thrown into
a basket, from which count is made
al the end of the feast.
