Inc Munster was unable to specify when the
AoieiSn loan negotiations would he reopened
out he intimated that the United States and
Great Britain would be invited to take part in
them- With the steady Improvement In internal
conoiuons there was every hope of continued
improvement In financial conditions.

Premier. telegraphed on Friday to the "Tage-

month, but that certain credit operations must
be carried out IN the current year which will
be executed under conditions of more difficulty
than hitherto. The telegram called out by

Forgive me, BROTHER she said and we passed
on.
At Fort Totten there are two Indian schools, one

had looked for endless ages upon the feeting

Zitkala's attitude toward her own people
was one of particular interest to me. Her
thought of them was never as of an inferior
race but as of conquered people to whom
the rights accorded by nature, to those who
inhabit her areas, were as sacred and should
have been as inalenable as those of any
race of men. And she had not the stole
patience and resigned spirit of so many of
her people. She was in a state of mental

her spirit of rebellion was of lofty nature
born of an altruistic feeling

THE ISSUE

Senator Dubois has located the
paramount issue for the coming
campaign. 1t is anti-Mormonism
and the Montpelier postmastership
is to furnish all the thunder. This
shows that Dubois is true prophet
We know that from time imme-
mortal prophets have been wont
to prophesy on the slightest provo.
cation. The smaller the sign the
greater the prophet. Most anyone
could foresee the destruction in the
wake of a cyclone, but it takes
genuine inspiration to foretell the
result of dropping pebble in the
ocean or the result of a Mormon
defeating gentle in Montpelier.
But of this Mormon issue what is
there We must admit that Nor.
mons are men with human aims,
ambitions and faults. 1t is natural
that many Of them should have a
liking for politics and an appetite
for plans. Who has not? We
find Presbyterian laymen indulging
in politics and Methodist preachers
changing political reform at $Ioo
per month. Most Of us want to
cleanse the political atmosphere and
work for the uplifting of our fellows
but there must be perquisite
somewhere attached. 1t is natural,
for enthusiasm does not last long on
hot air. The Mormons do exercise
an influence in politics and it is
right that they should. Unless we
argue that the influence of church
people is generally bad. we must
admit that their influence is good
in politics. The religious men and
women represent the better elements
of any community, and it is right
and proper tor them to exercise
their rights and privileges as Amer
lean citizens. 1t has not been so
long since a Democratic candidate
for Probate Judge in Canyon
county was taken in tow by a
Methodist minister and successfully
elected. No one, though, attempt
ed to raise a Methodist issue.
Every campaign, municipal, county
and state, sees good, earnest
Christians, many times elders,
deacons and ministers of sectarian
churches. participating in politics.
There is church influence and a
church vote in Caldwell. Even
though it he had, no one questions
the right or wrong of it. 1t does
not set right with our sense of pro-
priety to see a man. whose life has
been dedicated TO the Christian
ministry. engaging in political
scramble and secret caucuses, but
there can be nothing morally
wrong about it. They should ex-
ercise their influence in a more
diguifed manner. but even though
they get into the hottest of the
fight. their right cannot bo ques-
toned. 1t is the same with the
Mormons. There is and can be no
Mormon issue in Idaho.
