When Hepburn was elected Unit
ed States senator, Borah's friends
claimed that the Mormons threw
him down Now he is about to
be elected by their aid. Just how
ne secured a seat on that band
wagon, no one has yet discovered.
For months past Governor Good
ing, Senator Hepburn and Chair
man Brady have been noisiiy cali
ing the Saints brothers, and damning
all who intimated that they were
not entirely right in every particu-
lar. The Senator has been called
to Pocatello to make the brethren
jar lose from Borah. He is credit
ed with having threatened, cajoled
and argued, thus far with no eff
feet. A correspondent of the Salt
Lake Herald says his talk runs on
forever, about like this:
I'VE Governor Gooding, Brady
and Heyburn) have been your
friends. Borah has played fast and
loose with you, but you're support
ing him now because you're afraid
that if he isn't elected Dubois and
his crowd will carry the state.
You forget, however, that we have
a say in this state, and, if you
keep up this fight for Borah, wen
elect Dubois ourselves. Your sup
port of BOrah is fragrant church in
reference in politics, and we can
denoncc you, if we want to, as hard
as Dubois ever did. -
That's hot stuff, all right, all
right; but it bears striking resem-
blance to a four flush.
There seems to be trace of truth
in the correspondent story, that
the MOrmons have broken faith
with the state machine. If so, il
is merely because some one else
has offered them a better trade.
They can be relied upon 10 get all
there is in it, and, as Maverick
remarked few weeks since, Idaho
republicans will rue the day they
took them to their political bosoms.
So strong and coclzy is said tc
be this new combination. thai

WORDS FROM BLEEDING
HEART IN HONOR OF DEAD

The Seattle Bar ASSOCIATION nclQ
memorial services in honor of Judge
Emory. Will H. Thompson, the
father of the boy who killed the
judge, was asked to address the as
ISOLATION on that occasion. He
said
II think 1 can fully realize the
situation of one who, lost in the
desert, in a land of sand and dust
and drought, perishing of thirst,
comes upon a path made by the
wild herds in passing to and from
some desert spring and knows not
which end of the path leads away
from or towards the water, and who
must choose or perish.
''Sone of my brother attorneys,
in great kindness have begged me
to speak in this hour, some have
urged upon me that silence is best.
If 1 speak L may regret it. If
refrain know 1 shall regret it.
Words sometimes have strange pow
or and make destinies. The great
est wizard of words in our new day
but few days ago told us of the
magician who put forth some words
and they became live things and
ran about. Some of them made
their way into the hearts of men
and stirred them to the doing of
mighty things. But there are times
when words seem to lose their
power. They do not become alive,
and will not go into the hearts of
men.
mo august power looks out up
on age-1ong darkness now and says
let there be light, and light comes
out of darkness. No pale, sad man
goes down to the door of a tomb
now and says 'Lazareth, come
FORTH and sees the cold doors open,
the cerements fall away and the
sleeper waken and come forth.
81 knew Judge Emory well.
For sixteen years we were friends.
knew he was my friend, and he
knew 1 was his friend. Sixteen
years ago in beautiful grounds out
by the shore of Lake Washington
1 watched the old heroic play OF
knighthood, where mounted men
tilted with lanccs and Knocked the
Journeys of the old Chivalric days.
| II was a game I knew well, having
often witnessed it in the old sum
mcr land of the south.
Emory was one of the success
full knights who bore away the tro-
phies of that field, and 1 was chos-
en- to present to the successful
knights the memorials of their tri.
umphs. That evening in a beauti-
fully decorated hall, hung will
heraldic banners, Meade Emory

presence of the smiling girl, who
afterward became his wife,I place.
upon his young curly head the lau
rel wreath that marked his victory

if words would do their duty nov
there is so much that I would like
to say of him who sleeps. Blu
words have lost their power; the,
will not take life for me and rur
about and go into hearts of men
and move them as could wish.
cannot speak, but 1 can feel, ant
he who watches while we mourn
knows that if there were one, ant
but one, feeble lingering ray o
light left in my darkened and silen

That railroad official whose home
is in Ohio, who was recently scared
out of many years rgowth by hos
tile demonstration on the part of a
mob of Mexican poems, and came
running back to this country, ho1-
1ering to all who would listen that
a war between the United States
and Mexico within six months is
inevitable, ought to be placed in
cold storage, with a paddock on
his mouth. He is a rank false
alarm And his great scare is
ridiculous.

That crowd of new rich vulga-
rianS in Pittsburgh seem to be con-
testing with New York's ''smart
set'' of free lovers for the American
championship of indecency. 1t
now develops that Hartje paid his
negro coachman $500, got him
drunk and induced him to make
an affidavit that he had debauched
Hartje's wife, from whom Hartje
wished to secure divorce-in order
to marry some one else, of course I;
though this fact has not yet been
adduced in the evidence being
brought out in court, to crowded
and highly entertained houses
There is but one remedy for this
evil; exposure has no apparent ef-
feet, churches and religion are inn
potent to purify. A double barrel
shotgun in the hands of a relative
of the woman in the casc-cvcn
though in some instances she be
guilty. relative who has the
nerve and skill to plant the load
where it belongs; will, if the treat
ment is administered with suffi-
cicnt frequency to create the inn
preston that the policy has been
generally adopted, will in time heal
that ulcer spot on American morals.

1t is unfortunate that it was not
a mob of men, instead of women,
who rOtten-egged Editor Smith, of
the Southern Idaho Mail, at Black
foot, sc that he could have banged
their systems full of buck shot.
But, on second thought, it is quite
apparent that men would never
have attempted to thus interfere
with any ones domestic affairs.
Smiths offense was in marrying
shortly after securing a divorce.

Alfred Henry Lewis, the best
newspaper and magazine writer in
