lions for other members Of the family
besides Brown Of Osawatomie.' -
Browns son Frederick was killed in
the course Of the troubles in Kansas.
This event lmbittered him and con-
hrmed him in his desperate resolves.
Only two Of his sons are now living,
Salmon, who resides In Oregon, and
Jason, who lives on farm near Akron,
O., and is hale and hearty at the age Of
eighty-three. Jason cherishes no Bit
terness toward the south on account
of his fathers sad fate. Indeed, he
does not forget that he himself owes
his life to a southerner. and he thinks
that the north as we'll as the south was
to blame for continuance Of slavery.
1t was In the course Of these exciting
events that Jason Brown was captured
by proslavery men, headed by Martin
White, and came near being hanged by
them. In telling the story Of his escape
he has said.
The party stopped finally and made
preparations to hang me. One man, a
leader. mounted a stump and, swinging
hemp rope. sang, Swing him up.
swing him up, swing up the abolitlonlst
scoundrel.'
i expected to be hanged at once.
and the rope was already coiled for
the deed, when one OF three men who
had been standing at the edge OF the
crowd came to my side. with him was

me that he would take me TO his home

DIsFRANcHIsE PoLYGAMIsTs.

Until the Occur d'Alene conven-
tion when Judge Stockslager accept
ed the nomination for governor on
the Dubois ticket, we had always con-
sidered him fair-minded man, but
when he accepted the nomination on
o platform Of religious persecution
and the disfranchisement Of one.
fourth of the citizens of the state Of
Idaho, we are obliged to change our
opinion of the man. No fair minded
man nor no reputable citizen can
subscribe to such an infamous plat.
form without losing the respect of all
fair minded people. The judge has
made the mistake of his life, and his
name viii 60 down in history as the
man who was willing to sacrifice
the citizenship Of so, 900 gpeopIe for
the sake OF obtaining an Office. -
The above comment is taken from
the Paris Post, Mormon newspaper
which is supposed to represent the
church interests in politics. The
democratic platform favors the enact
ment Of a law to put in force that
provision of the state constitution
which DISTINGUISHES only polygamists
and those who believe in and prac-
tice polygaIny and bigamy. Yet the
Post says such law is religious per-
secution and will disfranchise so,
O00 people. That admission, coming
from Mormon source, is the best
argument that can be advanced for
voting the democratic ticket. AS
there are about so, 600 Mormons In
the state, according to the statement
Of the Post there must be so, 600 po-
lygamists. The democrats do not
propose to disfranchise Mormons ON
account Of their religious belief un.
less IT covers polygamy, and If it
does they ought to be DISTINGUISHED
as biasphemers, adulters and moral
degenerates. The people ought to
vote their convictions on this matter
regardless Of party.

JASON BROWN. the anniversary also
attracts interest to the living children
of the hero of Osawatomie."
Kansas in 1856 was the scene Of a
struggle between the forces Of slavery
and antislavery that was but preIim-
mary to the greater struggle over a
broader field that was soon afterward
to come. 1t is all history now and 1t
can be looked back upon without sec
tional bitterness, so far have the events
of the once bitter conflicts receded
into. the dim and distant past. 1t was
in May, 1856, that the soealled "Potta
watOmie massacres" occurred.
In revenge for the assassination of
five antislavery men Brown and his
associates had taken five proslavery
men from their beds and hanged them.
1t was enforcing his doctrine Of an eye
for an eye and tooth for tooth. He
thought the way to win the battle for
the free state cause was to deal out
stern handed treatment to his pro-
slavery enemies. To an inquiry Of an
abolitlonist journal which did not be-
lieve in violence why he had acted as
he did, Brown replied, "Those men
had a right to be hanged" a defense
which Ralph Waldo Emerson said no
other historical character but Oliver
Cromwell would have made. The war
between the free state and prosIavery
men grew In intensity until on Aug.
80, 1856, band Of proslavery men,
largely Mlssourians, made a raid on
Osawatomie. 1t was a fierce contest.
John Brown died on the scaffold at
Harpers Ferry, Va, in 1859, and his
body tiles moldering in the grave" on
the farm at North Elba, N. Y, where
he helped fugitive slaves to freedom
and taught coIored people who had set
tied in the vicinity how to make
living as their own masters. The stone
