NEW PRESIDENT NAMED.
Jos. R. Shepherd Chosen to Preside
Over Rear Lake Stake, with
w. L. Rich and w. w.
Richards as Counselors

The quarterly conference of the
Bear Lake Stake, held at Paris last
Saturday and Sunday was more
largely attended than usual. The
special interest manifested was due
to the fact that for the first time in
80 years the priesthood was called
upon to select president of the
stake, to succeed President Bulge,
who was honorably released some
weeks ago to preside over the Logan
Temple. There was considerable
speculation az to who would be
called TO fill this important eccles.
iastical Office which had been held
by President Bulge for nearly a
quarter of century and the qucs-
tion was not decided until at the
priesthood meeting which was held
on Sunday, immediately after the
regular morning session. Then it
was that Jos. r. Shepherd of Paris,
was chosen, with VIM. L. Rich as
first counselor and Wilfoad w.
Richards as second counselor. As
Elder Richards was bishop of the
G, orgetown ward, it became neces-
sary to re organize the blshopric Of
that ward, which was done bv
choosing as bishop Alma Hayes,
with Charles r.. Clark and Henry
H. Hoff as counselors.
The new presidency as we'll as the
new bishopric were unanimously
sustained by the conference at the
afternoon session.
Besides the local church officials
there were present at the conference,
President Francis M, Lyman and
Charles w. Penrose of the council
of the apostles and President Sey-
mour B. Young of the first council
of the seventy, of Salt Lake. These
officials addressed the different
meetings on Sunday. and President
Bulge bade farewell to the people
over whom he had SO long presided.
Taking it all in all, the sessions
of the conference were most inter-
esting and the new presidency, as
well as the new bishopric of George
town, were most cordially received
by the people.

Majority and minority reports

of Reed Smoot to retain his seat as
a senator from Utah. The majority
report was submitted by Chairman
Burrows, and bears the signatures
of Burrows. Dolliver, Dubois,

This report asserts that Reed Smoot

takes the broad ground that Smoot,
as one of a self-perpetuating body
of men known as the first presidency
and twelve apostles of the Mormon
church, sis an inseparable part OF
the governing body of the Mormon
church, and those who compose that
organization form a unit, an entire

So much for the business features
of the club, now for the social. The
entertainment provided by Idaho

could desire. Nothing was oyer

provided with badges in the form
of shipping tags, inscribed as fol-
lows: "We mix the Snake Dope.

in carriages and automobiles to the

Adjournment was then taken to
.jackson's Cafe, where the club and
few invited guests were rendered
a banquet by the Idaho Falls Com.
mercial club. While the guests
were partaking of the toothsome
viands, an orchestra dispensed
sweet music. After the inner man
had been satisfied, several toasts
were responded to, with President
Wheeler officiating as toastmaster.
Hon. J. III. Brady OF Pocatello, was
one Of the invited guests at the ban
quet and in response to call he
paid high tribute to the press of
our state in general and spoke
eloquently of the part that the
papers of eastern Idaho are doing
toward the upbuilding of this Sec
tion of the state. Mr.. Brady's re-
marks were received with prolonged
and hearty applause.
Although it was midnight and
the time for the arrival of the south
bound train was near, the visitors
were reluctant to leave the banquet
hall for the depot.
With fond farewells and hearty
hand shaking most of the members
of the club took their departure for
home, tired bnt happy lot.
"l'll meet you at Soda in August, !"
was the slogan of the members who
departed on the south bound train
and again at Pocatello was that
slogan sounded as the bunch sep

ruff manifesto and the highest
authorities of the church are now

open, notorious and shameless
polygamous cohabitation, and 1t is
asserted that the church authorities
have openly encouraged polygamy
by eleyating polygamlsts to the
highest positions in the gift of the
first presidency and apostles. Many
names of polygamists 80 honored
are given. 1t ls asserted that Smoot
is in the senate as representative
OF the Mormon hierarchy, and not
as representative from the state of
Utah. The Mormon oath of ven
geance, which Smoot is alleged to
have taken in the endowment cere-
mony, is related as another cause
which shonld disqualify HIM from
serving In the senate.
The minority report is signed by
Foraker, Beveridge, Dillingham;,

Reed Smoot possesses all the quail

of his election by the legislature of

AN HEROIC SACRIFICE.
Drives Automobile to Ruin to Save
 Lives of Others.

Central Valley, N.

Fulton Cutting, deliberately wrecked his machine and was himself crushed in the wreckage. The brakes of Lieber's machine became disarranged when he started down the steep hill and he guided it down the winding roadway at terrific speed. Round a curve he saw ascending the hill another machine con taining two women. Realizing that ! collision probably meant death to the oc- cupants of the ascending car, Lieber damned on the emergency brake and rip ped the machinery of his car to pieces. The machine skidded to the outside of the road and turned completely over. Lii Der was crushed and rendered unconscious.

GROSVENOR REVIEWS
 THIRD TERM HISTORY
Says That No Man Should Decline Nomination if Demanded to Ac-
 cept by the People.

Columbus, Ohio. October 14-"No man in this republic is so great that he should not bow to the demands of his fellow-citizens to fill any office at any time, regardless of circumstances, if the people of the country demand 1t.
 NO man who has been elected to the office of President has a moral right to refuse a reelection, if the people demand it. and the arguments here made extends that situation forward so iong as the demand of the people con- tinues."
 These are the conclusions to an article written by Charles H. Grosvenor, con- gressman from the Eleventh district, on the subject "A Third Term for the Presi- dent" They appear on the advance proof sheets of the Ohio Magazine, for which publication the article was undertaken. Throughout it all Congressman Gros- venor is careful to suppress names and even references, but this concealment only serves to make the subject the more open for observation and comment. It Is a learned and scholary review of the Presidential succession from the be- ginning of the republic, in which he re- flutes the popular idea that Washington condemned third terms.

CHURCH DESIRES
 POLITICAL POPE
RESULT OF NEXT CONCLAVE AT ROME IS BEING DISCUSSED EVEN AMONG THE CARDINALS. MAY ELECT FOREIGNER.

Rome, October 14.-In spite of the fact that the Pope is enjoying perfect health, the matter of the possible result of the next conclave, whenever it does occur is being discussed even among the cardinals themselves although there is no desire tc anticipate the end or to be dsrespect- ful to the pontiff
 The feeling among the cardinals has changed greatly since August, 1903. and today there exists tendency quite pos slEle to that which triumphed three years $50. In view of the vaticans experience with France the cry this time will not be for d merely religious but political Pope; not for saint but for a states nan.
 Even the strongest opponents of three years ago of Cardinal Rampolla now favor his election. Rampolla failed in 19J3 chify because he was vetoed by Car dinal Puzyna in the name of Austria, speaking for the entire triple alliance. AL though Pope Plus has suppressed the right of veto arrogated by certain pow CTS, the reasons which inducted the triple alliance to oppose Cardinal Rompolla stin cNlst ana the church loday IS less able 10 afford dspleasing the central empire Consequently there are rumors of an eX- pertinent with a foreign Pope in spite of Inc disfavor of the Italians. For the last four centuries all the Popes have been Italians. In this connection the recent e.ection of Father Wernz to the general ship Of the Jesuits is considered sympto- mauc.
 Every one prophesied that the new gen eral would be an Italian, but finally German was chosen.
