PUBLIC BATH HOUSES.
Resolution of Board of Trade Filed by
President Wilson.

The Commissioners today received from
Gen. John NJ. Wilson. president of the
Washington Board of Trade, a resolution
which had been adopted by that organiza-
ton, requesting the Commissioners to in
clude in their estimates for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1905 an item to provide two
public bath houses for the city of Washing
ton. The members of the Board of Trade
believe that the establishment of public
baths in the District are healthful and
necessary, and that the Commissioners
should lose no time in securing sufficient
sum of money to enable these bath houses
to be built in different sections of the city.
They believe one of these bath houses
should be centrally located, and that
in obtaining the legislation for the estab-
lishment of these houses the Commissioners
should ask for authority for the proper
management and the charging of fees for
their maintenance
Col Biddle, Engn Commissioner, to
whom this resolution was referred, stated
that the Commissioners are in favor OF
public baths and will take the matter up
in their next estimates to Congress.

REVOCATION OF LICENSE.
Railway Company Deprived of Use Of
Reservation 49,

At the request of the Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington Railroad. Company,
the Secretary of War has revoked the
license issued in December. 1904, authoriz-
ing the railroad company to occupy reser-
walton lib. at the intersection of 7th and
9th streets and Maryland and Virginia ave-
nues southwest in connection with the I'M
loading of material used in new public
buildings in this city, including the NUM-
cipal building, the Agricultural Department
building, the National Museum building and
the buildings for the Senate and House OF
Representatives. The company paid 81 ,375
a year for the use Of the ground. Owing
to the torn-up state of the connecting
streets the company can no longer utilize
the reservation. The revocation of the IL
cense simply relieves them from further
payments for its occupancy.

G1BES AT WOMEN.

The organ of the Mormon church
never misses an opportunity to betray
its vicious sentiments toward woman
kind. In this issue OF The Tribune is
reprinted in it's entirety an editorial
article of the peseret News under its
own heading, "Speaks Of Women

that women are more sanity and beau

A NEWS PREDICTION.

The Deseret News will probably be
very bitter in its denunciation Of Judge
Stockslager, who Is running for the
Governorship Of tho State Of Idaho.
The Judge, in a public interview, de-
clares that the test oath when enforced
in Idaho will have the effect Of break
ing up Mormon church dictation in pol
itics. He says that he looks to see
this result rather than wholesale dis
franchisement Of Mormons as the re-
suit attendant upon test oath enforce.
ment.
1t will be difficult for the Deseret
News to contain its sanctiGed soul with
in its unsanctifed carcass when this
generous American sentiment is ex-
pressed The News is determined that
the Mormon people in Idaho shall all
be disfranchised. 1t has repeatedly
stated that if the Constitution were to
be enforced they would be disfran-
chised. Having failed in every good
prophecy in recent years, its sole hope
of being recognized as seer is in hav-
ing one Of it's bad predictions como to
pass, Besides, the Deseret News rep
resents tho hierarchy-who would rath-
er see tho Mormons disfranchiscd as
citizens than to see them enfranchised
from church diotation in politics.
There is no reason why any Mormon,
not polygamist, should not qualify
himself to take the test oath in Idaho
except the reason which will be adduced
to him by the hierarchy and their jour.
nalistic representative, the Deseret,
News, AS a matter Of qualified citizen
ship in the United States and in the
State Of Idaho, Mormon could repu-
diate all reasonable and criminal teach
ings and practices and absolve himself
from all his responsibility therefor,
and be a voter clothed in the panoply
of constitutional and legal civic power.
But as member Of the church, paying
supreme Difference to the hierarchy, he
wall not be able to take the test path.
