Special TO The Tribune.
EMMETT, Ida, Oct 7.-Strong and
eloquent was the address delivered at
the State convention Of the Idaho W
lock Of Twin Falls, president Of the or
ganization.
Mrs. Garlock dealt telling blows at
the situation in Utah and Idaho, show
ing the need for the citizens to be gov
erned by the spirit Of Americanism.
She said in part
THE Smoot case has had so much
notriety throught the country that
the country has been covered with
smut from one end 10 the other The
action of Senator Smoot' s right TO Il
seat in the highest law making body in
the United States was delayed until
the next session of Congress, when it
Will be disposed Of. II is, indeed, sad
to see great Nation like this United
States, the greatest on the face of the
earth, standing with bowed heads be-
fore little man made hierarchy, trail
ing the Stars and Stripes in the dust,
simply because certain political party
fears TO lose the electoral vote of a
few States. God pity MS and help lis
TO be men and women. and give us
grace, grit and courage to do the
right.

and especially a new State, on record
before the world as does its United
STATES Senator. To the average citizen
of tho country today the terms Utah
and Smoot are synonymous. Idaho
should look well to the character of
the man who is to represent her in the
Senate.
'FMr. Smoot, according to The Salt
Lake Tribune, has said that the Nor
mons can dictate their own terms in
Idaho this year, and that any efforts
along legislative lines without the sane
ton of the Mormon church would be
futile. But it remains 10 be seen
whether the loyal American citizens of
the great State of Idaho are gong to
submit TO the domination Of any power
from outside their own State. Senator
Dubois has earned the appreciation of
every citizens in the stand he has
taken on this question, and it is hardly
probable that the choice of Idaho 8
next Senator will be IN favor Of man
who is manifestly in sympathy with
this element.
1.-The Woman's Christian Temper
ii to themselves and the homes of
Idaho, but also to the cause of suf-
frage, to do all they can to show to the
world that they stand for the purity
Of the homes and sacreduess OF the
marriage vows. The National y. c.. f.
I. have taken prominent part in the
fight against Smoot and polygamy and
we should follow their lead The homes
OF Idaho are not safe, because the
whole moral and social fabric is in
danger of being permeated with the
virus OF this iniquitous system of i'm
purity. -
