because it mas been given to the world
In the public prints, and this is that
the Tavares Herald, which was useu
by fourth gentleman with military
title, Major Alexander st. Clair
Abrams, as medium to perpetuate
his views against the drainage propo-
sition, found mighty nice things to say
about General Ellis in it's issue OF two
weeks ago.
1t also failed to pass unnoticed by
those who are willing to punish them
selves with a perusal of the Times
Unions ponderous editorials, that 1t,
the Times-Union, dicovered at a very
late day, that General Ellis possesses
supreme qualifications of fitness to
serve the people.
General Ellis was so much pleased
with the nice things that Alfred
Abrams had to say about him that he
found it quite easy to forget the I'M
pretty expressions which came so
readily, forcibly and continuously
from the lips of the aforesaid Alfred,
during the canvas preceding the pri-
mary of 1904, when Alfred thought
that he (Alfred) would make a better
servant of the people in the Office
that General Ellis now holds
II it is easy to put two and two to-
gether and arrive at a satisfactory
result, it should be easier to put one,
two and three together and get an
even more satisfactory result.
To recapitulate, I will submit
this for the political forecaster to
chew on:
First. Major Healy thinks General
Ellis strongest man who could be
nominated for governor.
Second, the Tavares Herald and Al
fred st. Clair Abrams think General
Ellis a worthy, honest, proper public
servant
Third, the Times-Union finds much
to admire in General Ellis in that
same capacity.
And if fourth item is needed TO COM
plete this sum l might find it in the
failure of General Ellis to allow me
to quote him. in the columns of this
journal, on the subject Of the Tavares
Herald and Times-Union's Irritation
with him and his qualifications to
serve the people.

Punishment for
the Guilty Divorce.

We entirely agree with the follow
ing from the Mobile Item:
If the courts. in granting divorces,
would at the same time hand prison
sentence to the offending party, where
proof of guilt was sufficient on which
to base a decree of divorce, fewer
Irregularities would be found in the
lives of married people. There are
men willing to face divorce court,
especially so when the divorce pro-
ceedings are kept from publication,
who would not be so eager to get into
divorce court with the danger of
few years in the penitentiary facing
them. These comments are based on
the action of the National Congress
on Uniform Divorce Laws at Phila-
delphia, which adopted a series of
resolutions favoring certain uniform
divorce laws for all the states, but
made no SUGGESTIONS as to the prison
punishment for violation of the Grim
inal laws.
This is not only common sense, but
it ought to form the basis for good
law. If the guilty party in a divorce
proceeding were made to suffer some
kind of penalty when the fact Of
the guilt is proven, fewer people
would lay themselves liable to suit
for divorce and fewer suits would be
brought.
Even under the present law, the
evidence and proof which furnishes
ground for divorce in certain cases
and which is in itself of a criminal
nature is sufficient to send the de-
PENDANT to the penitentlary if the
authorities would go to the trouble
to bring the action, but no one has
ever heard of such action being
brought.
1t would be a good thing to make
compulsory the criminal prosecution
Of every guilty defendant in divorce
proceedings better still, to provide
that the granting of a divorce should
carry with it such punishment for the
guilty party as would be commensu-
rate with the offense.

MORE PAY FOR SOLDIERS
Brigadier General Williams Says Condi-
tions Warrant Increase.

WASHINGTON. Sept, I-Conditions
existing at this time call for an increase
nj the pay Of the army, says Brig Gen.
Constant Williams, commanding the
Department of the Colorado, in his an
nual report, which was made public to-
day. He asserts that the increased cost
of living since 1872, when the present
rate of pay was fixed; the frequent
changes of stations, sending officers to
Alaska and island possessions necessi-
tating the keeping of two separate es-
adjustments in many cases, work a
hardship, especially on line officers.
Years ago changes Of stations were
not so frequent and officers had oppor-
tunity to save. Gen. Williams saws
this is not now the case. and changes
come SO often and with such little
warning that debts are contracted that
might otherwise be avoided by the care
full officer, to be always ready for the
demands Of the military service. He re-
news his recommendation Of last year,
that officers quarters be heated and

Men Who We're Formerly Lead

WEISER, Ida, Sept 1.-The first po-
litical meeting of the campaign was
held in this city last evening under the
auspices of the Democrats. The sub
iect was Mormonism and its Men
aces T popularity of the meet
ing was that the leading speakers were
Republicans who are working with the
Democrats to down the hierarchy In
this State.
One Of the speakers was Rev. e. A.
Paddock of the Idaho Industrial In
stitute, lifelong Republican and one
Of the best orators in the State. Prof.
A. C. Carlson, superintendent of the
Weiser public schools, also Republican,
spoke.
Mr.. Carlson was for many years su-
perintendent of the public schools of
Eureka, Utah, and other points in the
State He spoke on Mormonism from
his personal experience, and referred
to the subject Of po]ygamy and cited
numerous cases with which he was per
sonally familiar,
Both of the speakers stated they
were Republicans, but in the issues now
before the people the Democrats are in
the right and advised all Republicans
to Join the Democrats in ridding tho
State Of the Mormon octopus that was
seeking to control the politics Of the
State by collusion and combines with
the Republican party OF the State.
The large opera-house was crowded
and many persons were unable to
secure even standing room and many
stood on the sidewalk. 1t was one of
the most successful political meetings
IN the State, and demonstrated that the
church Republicans are doomed to de-
fent in Idaho.
