VARIED FATEs.

Hon. Fred IT. Dubois of Idaho. Sem
ator of the United States. Will regret
to learn from the Paris Post-a paper
published under the eye and the pat
ronage OF the Mormon ecclesiasts In his
State-that "he is stranded on the rock
of Mormonism." 1t will further dis
tress him to be Informed by the same
high authority that "his political hopes
are smashed into splinters," And he
will reach the apotheosis OF his agony
In being advised by that same Mormon
print that "he Is In bad fix and
that "he Will have to show some signs
of repentance for his past cussedness'
before the Idaho ecclesiasts 'can ex-
tend to him any sympathy"
All this flood OF evils to overwhelm
one man. and so suddenly Senator
Dubois Is not only stranded. but he is
also splintered; and after these dis
tressing fates. he is decreed to be In
bad fax.
In the meantime. and almost on the
day OF the publication OF this ecclesias-
tical proclamation against him. the
Democratic State Committee of Idaho
adopted resolutions which excluded
from the committee the Mormon mem
Der from the county In which the Paris
Post is published. So. after all, the woe
Is not entirely upon one side. The
Democracy OF Idaho might reply to the
ecclesiasts that Mormon church control
is stranded on the rock OF Duboisism;
that It's political hopes in Idaho are
smashed into splinters: that 1t is in
bad flx; and that II Will have to show
some sign of repentance for past cuss-
edness before II can obtain any sym
pathy.
Senator Dubois and his friends have
been many times turned over to the
"buffetings OF Satan" by the Mormon
church hierarchy acting in politics.: the
Senator does not utter as many DEGREES,
but the few he does speak are usually
more effective.
Many times the Mormon prints have
written the political obituary of Fred
Dubois, and so far he has politically
lived TO read them ALL II they ever do
slaughter him, 1t is probable that some
friend will write as his truthful cpl
taph. He bested the hierarchy as
many times as the hierarchy bested
him "

A PIOUS PLEA,

Apostle-Se Senator Smoot shows signs
OF awakening wisdom. 1t is nothing
less than sagacity that prompts him TO
prevent his friends from reading the
testimony In his case, It Is noticeable
In Utah that no Mormon In good stand
ing has been asked by the church or
by Apostle Smoot TO peruse the awful
utterances OF Joseph +. Smith In con-
Tossing the offenses OF the hierarchy of
which Smoot is n part. No ono can
read that testimony without being
shocked as we'll as being convinced OF
the suf1cIency of the case against the
apostle.
If Mormons, who have been taught to
endure a great deal from their leaders.
are to be kept away from that appal-
ling evidence, how much more neces-
sary is 1t for Apostle Smoot that he
should keep his political friends I'm
Ignorance OF the terrible showing
So long as Apostle Snoot can induce
influential men In the country to with
hold themselves from a knowledge OF
the facts, he has some hope, His
prayer should now be; You Judges
who nre to decide my fate. Tor Gods
sake don't read the testimony in the
case"

THEIR REGULARITY.

In order to afford an opportunity for
many guesses. The Tribune reprints
from the Deserct News. the official or
gan of the Mormon church, lengthy
editorial under the title, 'Will Mind Its
Business"
Those investigators who are watch
ing the developments of the Utah ques-
ton may find interest in a perusal of
the article, and may find opportunity
for prognostication upon various lines
as to when, where and how the church
Will conclude to come within the lines
of American civilization. and-what
seems to be more important to the
church-announce its intention to that
effect,
The peculiar" article of the pc
culiar" News illustrates one of the
great "peculiarities" of the Mormon HE
rarchical method. When the inevita-
is written, when the determination Of
tho country to effect reforms. becomes
apparent 10 the Mormon leaders, they
gradually recede from offensive prac-
tice: they claim credit for such reces-
sion; and yet, IL anybody shall dare to
publicly announce that they have re-
ceded (before the hierarchy get ready
to tell their own story In their own
way) they repudiate the compliment
with much show of Indignation. The
bierarchs are determined above all TO
save their face. Their credit as proph
cts. seers, and reveIators is at stake
with their own people. They strongly
desire TO conciliate the opinion of the
world-when that opinion assumes a
dangerous form toward themselves; but
more intensely they desire to keep the
devotion Of their own followers.
The Mormon church is going out OF
business. The hierarchs have seen the
handwriting on the wall. They know
that they must relinquish their monop-
Giles. But TO make public announce
ment that they are abandoning the field
of business would be to confess to their
dupes that they have pursued a wrong
ful policy and might cut off the inflow
Of tithes. And go they pretend, as
shown In the editorial of the News.
that business" Is their business" and
that they have not announced n relin-
quishment of business" and that they
will not and cannot abandon the field
of commercialism.

MANY NOW FISHING.
Logan Journal

Io-nn JouTnpT|
Many and loud are the complaints
being made by law-abiding sportsmen
Of the number Of fishermen lining the
banks OF the various streams Of the
county and fishing, apparently with
out any attempt at concealment. Those
who obey the law, which says they
must not fish until June Is. fear that
by that time the best OF the fishing
will be gone in the stretches adjacent
to the various towns; nor are the can
yons free from fishermen. IL the stories
told are true. The law should either
be repealed or enforced. AS 1t is. It
does not protect the fish during the
spawning season, as intended, but de-
prives the man who obeys the law OF
his share.

More significant. however, than the
effect upon their own followers is the
