Idaho Dishonored.

Not satisfied with their own
feeble efforts to stir up dissension
and, strife among the citizens of
Idaho, the Duboisites have i'm
ported a wondrous campaigner
from distant New York, an oily
tongued hysteric In the form of a
woman, who is to tell all she
knows about the horrible Nor
mons, and to depict with lurid
description the lewdness, wick
edness and vileness of the Nor
mon homes. A peculiar thing
about it is that the wondrous
parsonage is not visiting those
parts of the state where the
Mormons live and are known
but confines her operations to
localities where Mormon colon
lists are an unknown quantity,
and is amazing the natives by
her tales of crime andA wicked
ness existing among their neigh
bors.
Polygamy is her theme, and
the fact that subject was thresh-
ed out between the governnlent
and the Mormon people between
the years 1860 and 1890, Ald
was forever settled on the Ia
named date-over sixteen yea&s
ago-by the people yielding t
the practices, makes absoluteI ~
no difference. M
The theme is an attractive on&|
to her, and the necessity of a.
pealing to her imagination f
material to describe the cond !
tions as they have not existed Il
do not exist, and never could ex
ist gives her an opportunity to
create tales that are lurid enough
to suit the most gullible.
We are in no wise alarmed as
to the harm that this lady can
do the Mormon people, as they
are used to being lied about, but
we regret that our fair young
state should be so dishonored as
to have sapphires come three
thousand miles, to scatter seeds
of malice, hatred and contempt
among people, who left alone
would have no difficulty in the
world, set tlir G their differences.
The Mormon people where
known, are known to be honest,
industrious, chaste, charitable,
God-fearing, loyal, patriotic,
kind, hospitable, patient, truth
ful, sincere, honorable, progress
sive, virtues enough to so salts
fy not over nice American to
that extent that he can sit down
by him and even in some instances
respect h1m as neighbor, citi-
zen and friend.

HERE STANDS A MAN.
Hon. John HALEY of Boise. {
Lifelong and a Faithful
Democrat Speaks out His
Honest Views.

cry honest citizen, gentle, jew
or Mormon can well say "amen'
to his loyal and sensible opinions
regarding the political question
of Idaho embodied in the Demo
cratic platform. Upon receiving
from Chairman Lockhart OF the
State Central Democratic Com
mlttee an earnest request to take
the stump, Mr.. Haley makes
the following reply:
Hon. H. w. Lockhart, Chair
man State Central Committee,
Boise, Idaho: Dear Sir-Yours
of the 1st received on the 7th, in
which you extend me an invita-
tion to speak in the present cam
paign on certain lines indicated
in your letter, and also on the
platform adopted at the late
Democratic convention held in
Occur d'Alene. Judging from
your letter and the platform,
you seem to have but one issue
to present to the voters ofIdaho,
and that is a charge against the
Mormons of church interference
in political affairs and the prac-
tice of polygamy, and of unlaw-
full cohabitation. We have laws
upon our statute which make
the practice of the two latter a
crime. If there is any man, or If
there are any men in Idaho who
have taken a plural wife or
wives or practiced unlawful CO.
hab1tation since the head OF the
Mormon church announced more
than 10 years ago that the Nor
mons had stopped the taking of
plural wives, and the practices
of unlawful cohabitation, he or
they should, as good citizens. go
before the proper officer and
swear to a complaint, charging
them with a crime. Have the
person or persons who have vio-
lated the law arrested, tried by
the courts, and if found guilty,
punished as prescribed by law.
| do not know of any violations
in Idaho or else where of the law
referred to. Nor do | know of
any Mormon church, or of any
other church organization, as a
church, interfering or meddling
in politics in Idaho. If a man or
a woman belong to a church, |
care not what church, their para
mount duty is to obey the laws
of our country. We have no
laws which prohibit either male
or female citizens, who are quail
flied voters. from participating
in campaigns if they chose to do
so.
While | am a Democrat and
believe in Democratic principles,
| fail to find any Democratic
principles, as understand them,
in your platform or your letter.
The universal custom with all
political parties has been for all
candidates who accept nomina-
tions from any convention to
endorse the platform adopted by
the convention which nominates
on your ticket all endorse and
approve the platform adopted
by the convention at Coeur
d'Alcne. Believing as | do, that
the convention that adopted the
platform, their candidates, and
the managers of their campaign,
are making a mistake in the
course they seem to be pursuing,
that it will be detrimental to the
party, and against the best in
terests OF the people ofth1s state,
most respectfully decline your
invitation to speak on the lines
Indicated in your letter, or to
support the candidates indors-
ing your platform. Respectfully,
john HALEY,
Boise. Idaho, September 10.

the Importance of salt to civilization.
The Oldest trade routes are said to have
been opened for salt traffic. Salt de-
termined to considerable extent the
distribution of man. He was forced to
settle where he could obtain it. This
brought him to the seashore and started
maritime commerce. Lastly, preserva-
tion Of food by salt made long voyages
possible and opened up the world to CIV
ilization.

READY-MADE HOMES ARE
ALWAYS IN DEMAND

People of democratic tastes, who
like to Give in house," but not in a
lonesome one-solve the problem
easily and to their profit by renting
furnished rooms to pleasant people.
Isn't it better to live in a good
house. with few dodgers who pay
your entire rent for you little to.
ward your household expenses, than
to live in small apartment, alone,
with expenses that grow harder and
harder to meet?
If you advertise PERSISTENTLY
you may, at a nominal cost, keep
these sREADY.MADE HOMES" al
ways tenanted by THE RIGHT KIND
OF PEOPLE, and the somewhat bitter
problem of HOW TO MAKE BOTH
ENDS MEET will give you less con-
Germ.
When you set aside few rooms in
your house as "ready-made homes
and begin to advertise them you will
be surprised to find how many of the
nice sort" of folks live in furnished
rcoms-and you will be surprised t.
find out how easy matter it is to
wipe out the terrors of your own trent
day."

To snap the WOO, from his tail
For he's deer in miniature
And cracks his heels at the gale.
