The Church in Politics.

Since Shoots case was reported
up to the senate there have been
many things to show that an extra
ordinary effort is to be made to car
ry Utah, Idaho and Wyoming repub-
lican this fall. We believe we
know some of the steps that are
quietly being taken to try to insure
that result. 1t was for services al
ready performed and to be perform
ed that Mr. Booth was appointed
United States attorney. This at
tempt to gain cntrol over the judges
has been going on good while.
1t is already on the slate who is to
be rewarded among the judges and
who punishd two years hence. AS
the executive is under church con-
troll, so the purpose is before very
long to have the judiciary. We
know of what we are speaking, for
the determination is to fix things
in way to take all apprehension
of punishment from the minds of
those in Utah who are daily violat-
ing the laws and who are determin-
ed to be a law unto themselves.
Since the Mormon church was first
founded this has been its determi-
nation and it has not changed. And
things are working good for it, not
only in Utah, but in Idaho and Wy
oming. 1t has two senators in Wy
oming now, two ready to obey its
behest, even to the point of vouch-
ing that there is no such thing as
Mormon church influence in poll
tics. It expects to have two more in
Idaho after next winter. Good
wins Weekly.

PLENTY OF CARS NOW
FOR STOCK SHIP MfNT

Cars by the score are being ship
ped by the Oregon Short Line and
Rio Grande to shipping points in
Idaho and Wyoming, thus Begin
ming the sheep shipping season of
the present year. Shippers give
reports of exceptionally large con-
signments to be sent east this fall,
and it is believed that a new rec
ord will be established.
One of the new features is the
fact that sheep from western Neva-
da are being sent east this fall IN
stead of to San Francisco. 1t is ex-
pected that hundreds of carloads
will be shipped from points in Ne
vada and eastern California--ship-
ments that have always been sent
to the coast in years past. This
change in traffic will mean much
to the western roads, as this trade
was entirely lost in former years.
The destruction of San Francisco
stockyards is, of course, responsible
for the alteration. Flockmasters
in the Reno and Truckee regions
have already sent orders here for
cars TO be used in shipping their
flocks to the yards in the east.
The new feeding regulations en-
route, which will be followed this
year, are believed to be greatly BEN
eficial to both the railroads and
sheepmen. Instead of the old 29-
hour law, shippers have been sent
circulars by the railroad companies
which, when signed and returned,
call for 30 hours in the cars with
out rest, feeding or water. The
shipments can be made much easier
under this law than in former
years, and will work to the adj
vantage Of all parties concerned.
The circulars must, however, be
signed by the shippers before the
sheep can be held in the cars fol
SO hours, and under no consider.
alton are the railroad companie:
given the privilege of keeping the
animals in the cars longer than thi:
period Practically all of the ship
pers will avail themselves of thi:
opportunity to get the sheep to mar
Iket as soon as possible, and the rail
road companies have already receiv'
cd many of the return slips.
All through Idaho shipments will
begin in short time. On the Woo
river branch, where many Sal
Lakers have flocks, shipments will
begin soon, and before the season i
closed more than 1900 cars will b
loaded with sheep for the east. A
/ Spencer, Idaho, the ]. D. Woo
Livestock company will begin L
ship September l and will send on
80 carloads weekly until the ship
ments are cleaned up. On al
ranches, however, shipments c
lambs will be later than usual o,
I account of the backward season. +

PROTEST BY Mr.. ROOT.
Secretary VIII Object to Selleure Of American
Fisherman.

Washington (SpeciaD State Depart
ment officials are preparing protest
which will be submitted to Great Britain
against the seizure OF the two American
fishing ships off the coast of Newfound-
land. Secretary Root said that the docu-
ment will probably be completed in a
short time II will be based on the
fundamental contention that the local
Canadian governments have no right to
pass laws which conflict with provisions
of treaties between the United States
and Great Britain. Under the treaty Of
1918 American fishermen are held by the
State Department TO have the right to
fish where the American boats were re-
Gently seized A Newfoundland law
passed subsequently to that treaty forbids
trawling which was not mentioned in the
treaty. Consequently the State Depart
ment will stand on the old treaty and
maintain that the antitrawling law can
not change treaty provisions.

Must Have More Troops.

Washington,-General Greely has in
sisted upon additional troops for San
Francisco. His telegram reads:
The Military Secretary, Washington, D.
c.
Desire especially to call attention Of
Secretary Of War and Chief of Staff to
necessity for additional troops. Not only
is the present force inadequate to fully
guard the interests OF the city, but they
have been necessarily overworked in the
past, and are overtaxed today. Distances
are simply enormous, and conditions de-
manding military action can best be OBJ
served by sending as large a force Of
mounted men as is practicable. The
spirit and conduct Of the troops, officers
and men, has maintained the high stand
ing OF American Army, and continu-
ance OF physical stress and mental re-
sponsibiity is not advisable in the pres
ent high tension Of affairs.
GREELY, Major General Commanding.
In another telegram to the War De-
partment urging the sending OF addi-
tional troops, General Greely said
Estimates from various sources place
the destitute between two hundred thou
sand and a quarter of a million, which
leaves me but one soldier 10 every hun
dred destitute people, and the additional
force would give only two to the hum
dred While inclined myself to place
number somewhat below 100000, yet the
judgment OF others cannot be, sfely
ignored.

Ravendel, OF Dawson, writes to the Bu-
reau Of Manufactures that from being
"a graveyard Of navigators," the Upper
Yukon River has become as safe as a
canal Since the opening up of this
country Canada has appropriated SIz5,-
900 for Yukon River improvements. On
the American side Of the line, in Alaska.
Improvements have not even started.
Now the Canadian authorities are
blasting the rocks which impede nayiga-
ton up the Forty Mile River from the
Yukon. As q result the WORK of the
miners on the American side will be
greatly benefited; but Canada the re-
port adds, will thus get the trade OF the
mines, which in the long run is worth
by far more .han the gold that comes
out Of the ground The total value Of
goods 'hipped into the British Yukon
territory N 1905 amounted to nearly
$57,ooo,ooo one-fourth from the United

The Trembling Old Man Speaks at

CROWD GOES WITH Gen. yOLIyA.
ouIy a Faithful Few Listen to the DspOsed
Leader, Though His Audience Is Swell
ed BY Hundreds Of Curious Slghtssers
Who Came to Zion City on Trolley Cars
end Trains.

Chicago, (SpeciaD Standing un-
steadily and with great effort before an
audience Of $500 persons in Zion Taber-
nacle Sunday afternoon. John Alexander
Dowie charged his accusers, if any were
present, to make their accusations before
the whole congregation.
The followers Of Voliva, the new
leader in Zion Ciy's affairs. however,
were at that moment attending a rival
meeting, set for the same hour, at the
Zion College building There 5000 of
the citys inhabitants were gathered, to-
gether with the Zion choir, now divested
Of its ecclesiastical garb, and the Zion
Band and Orchestra.
Those who listened 10 the words of
Dowie were for the most part visitors
brought in by electric cars and railroad
trains. In front of the platform and in
the choir loft were probably $50 faithful
Dowieites.
Dowie was borne bodily BY two stall
wart negro attendants from an anteroom
to the platform and deposited upon his
feet before the elaborate altar. He was
attired in a new apostolic robe of white,
gold and purple On his head was a
turban OF marvellous pattern, embroidered
IN purple and gold. He delivered his ad-
dress seated before the altar. Only oc-
casionaly, when reused TO an unusual
pitch OF earnestness, did he rise.
Mrs. Dowie, who has severed her al
legiance with Noliva, sat in a wicker
chair among Dowie's followers in the
congregation. Except for former Mayor
r. D. Harper, Dowie was alone on the
platform Dowie announced the hymns
and led in prayer in a firm voice. He
prefaced his sermon by a spirited denial
OF the charges that have been brought
against him by Voliva and others.
"They say I've taken the peoples
money; do you believe il" he asked.
Answers Of yes" and mo- came from
different parts Of the audience. A man
who said yes was singled out by Dowie.
Pointing a trembling finger at the man,
Dowie asked him to stand up and tell
what money l took and when The
man sat still. A guardian was ordered
TO compel the man 20 stand, but he
stood silent.
llCJ il Was tldt DOWle rose ana lt-
manded that any Of those present who
had anything to charge against him
should make the charge. No one offered
10 accuse Dowie.
Dowie paid a tribute to Mrs. Dowie.
my wife has some noble qualities. but
she was misled and imposed upon They
used her until they were through with
her and then cast her aside. My son
played tricks on me which he ought not
to have DONE but he, too, was deceived"
Dowie made his first appearance since
his return to Zion City Saturday in the
Tabernacle at 6.3o o'clock Sunday morn
ing, when he conducted a prayer and
praise service. About 100 were present.
Voiiva held a similar meeting at that
hour and it was largely attended Dowie
has taken up lis abode in Shiloh House.
where he intends to remain in retirement
until after the decision of the court in
his injunction suit against Voliva.
