The friends of Mrs. d. ]. Manchester, OF
Northeast Harbor, who, with her hus-
band, is spending the winter in Florida,
are being remembered with beautiful
souvenir cards. The one received by
"Spray" was a lovely scene at Tarpon

All friends here hope for safe and happy
return of Mr.. and Mrs. Manchester in the

Capt. Thomas Milan, who has been in
failing health for some months, and who
q few weeks since sustained a stroke of
paralysis and rapidly failed, died at his
home early Sunday morning. Capt. Mi
Ian was veteran of the Civil war, and for
many years first lightkeeper at Mt. Desert
Rock station. The funeral services have
not yet been announced.
The selectmen have been very busy in
their Office the past two weeks making up
the annual statement for the coming
March meeting. A side issue and diversion
have been the counting and paying pre-
miums to the schoolboys for the brown
tail moth nests. For some reason the pay
ments have been suspended for q short
time, probably to await action of the
town meeting on the matter.

them. "a good tree brings forth
good fruit" If the Mormon re-
ligion was as bad as some peo-
pie would have us believe, that
fact would be evident in the in
dividual members. they would
be bad, as it is; no stronger evi-
dence of the wholesome nature
of the Gospel can be given by the
opponents of the church than the
fact that "Smootis agood man" "
"the members are good people, "
etc., and in this connection it
need only be suggested that all
of the leaders and officers of the
church are essentially members,
who value their membership far
above the official positions held
by them in the church, whence it
may be seen that all of these
people are good taking them
from the standpoint of member
ship and their real standing and
worth as neighbors and citizens,
The time will come when this
self evident truth will be recog-
nized and admitted by all right
thinking people, and now is a
good seasonable time for the
press and good people of oui
state to speak the good they
know of the Mormon people
instead of giving place to the
rehashed fables which emanate
from the visions of malice or
from an idle housewives dreams

mo Time to Dodge

Democratic papers are copying
the following editorial com
ments Of the Wallace Press on
the letter of Chairman Jackson
which guided the deliberation of
the State Committe at its recent
meeting. 1t is becoming plain
that the Senator will not have
everything his own way when
the State Convention meets:
When the ballot wastaken on the
place for holding the next State
Convention, Joseph Hutchinson,
"after explaining the view of the
Senator" changed his vote to
Occur d. Alene, giving the con
vention to that town.
The letter OF Senator Dubois
is not given in full, but the dis
patch says "there is not time, ac-
cording to Senator Dubois, to
dodge or equivocate." Well, we
are not so sure about that. 1t
strikes us 1t is always the time
for the Democratic party to
dodge and equivocate. In fact
few of its old time acquaintance
would know that party if it did
not conduct itself so. The dis
patch further says, after giving
the paramount issue" that the
Senator has proposed for the old
line Democrats of Idaho who
were making their own platforms

the following erroneous state
ment with reference to the "Mor-
mon" church, which we wish to
stamp as false and misleading.
Referring to the decision OF the
senate committee on privileges
and elections in the Smoot case,
the editor observes: Whatever
the final determination OF the
case, this vote should prove
conclusivelv to the priests and
people of the Mormon church
that politics and religion do not
harmonic, and just SO long as
they continue their present
"trust system, in seeking through
the compulsory vote OF their peo-
pie to dictate and control, not
only the politics of Utah, but ad-
Joining states as well, just so
long will there be trouble The
fault is not with Smoot. nor the
Individual Mormon, but with
that system" of which he is a
part. The evil lies with that
hierarchy at Salt Lake, which
dominates its peoples actions IN
business and politics, as has been
manifested by the Smoot invest1-
CATION at Washington. The
gates of the Twin Falls tract are
wide open, an we welcome to
our midst good citizenship and
helpful means, but once it be-
comes generally known outside
that our fair land is in control OF
an element in such i'll favor, it
will warn away rather than at
tract the people and capital. "
Believing that a lack of infor-
nation is solely responsible for
the fo egoing, and that correct
information on the subject will
be appreciated by those not al
ready acquainted with the true
condition of life and principles
of the "Mormons and Mormon
ism, so called. Let it be observ.
ed at the outset that the writer
resided in Salt Lake City for
forty-three years prior to locat-
ing in the Gem State, six years
ago, and during such residence
it was my pleasure to bGa engag-
ed actively in the political affairs
of the state, and intimately ac.
uuainted with the lives and la.
bors of the leading officials of the
Church, from President Brigham
Young to the present, and am If
a position to know the trutf
better than the man who has
spent a few hours among the
Mormons, or read some yellow
journal on the subject.
The perfect right of the mem
bers of the Mormon church tc
engage in business or politics al
their will and pleasure, as any
other citizens will not be dis
puted, and that they are just as
free to do as they please in thes,
matters is equally true. Their,
is no more perfect system of lib
erty known among men thar
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Ii
all things it holds that mer
are free to choose their life anC
what they'll be. 1t teaches tha'
freedom and reason make III
men. So that the trust sys

imagination of those,,who are no
acquainted with the facts. Th
Mormon" church is a system
of religion, standing pre-eminent
ly in the formost rank of chris
tianity; 1t is scriptural, scien

of which are as free, and hav
as much right to engage in bus

to such matters; or they may adj
wise more scientific cultivation
of the soil, or higher grades of
domestic stock and fowls, and
chese subjects are looked upon
as perfectly proper to be treated
from the pulpit in the Sunday
address, but as to debating the
Mormon people or controlling
their action-in business affairs
or politics. by compulsory means
or otherwise, there is no truth.
The writer has resided in Salt
Lake city for 43 years and in
Idaho for 6 years during which
time not a single instance has
come to my attention in which
any of the leading authorities
have offered or attempted to
dictate or control, or influence
any person in their business or
political affairs, other than re-
terred to in the foregoing. And
this is only the exper e n e
a d tes tt m ony h a t
could be stated by all members
of the church. In fact the church
is made up of its membership.
1t is no better, or no worse than
the individual membership of the
church. The church does not
claim infallability for its leading
officials, but it is the right of
every member to resent vile in
situations and correct false ideas
with respect to the church, is a
body and its officials in such
capacity.
NO CHURCH INTERFERENCE.
Enemies Of the Mormon church
who appeared before and direct
ed the investigation of Senator
Smoot before the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections,
sought to establish the charge
that the Mormon church con-
trolls in business and political
affairs in Utah adjoining states,
but all who read the evidence
and are acquainted with the
facts have seen the signal failure
of the efforts, and yet, while the
Church Of Jesus Christ is a re.
ligious organization-essentially
christian in every part and de-
tail, the members of the church
have the same right to engage
in business, or follow their polit
ical inclinations as any other
citizens orchurch men.
GOOD CITIZENS.

zenship," the Mormon people

rank, when it is understood

TWO YEARS IN BED
nR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS CURE
STUBBORN RHEUMATISM.
No One Who Reads This Can Afford to
Let Prejudice Prevent Giving the
Remedy Trial.

DR.. williams Pink Pills have been
curirg the most stubborn cases of
rheumatism for nearly generation
and thousands of grateful patients
have given testimony that cannot be
ignored.
If YOU suffer from this disease and
have not given the pills a trial perhaps
it is your prejudice or the influence OF
some friend that has prevented your
finding health. Perhaps your doctor
cannot help you and the thousand rem
clies recommended for rheumatism do
not touch your case. We have on
record hundreds Of just such cases
cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills and
VIII welcome the opportunity TO submit
the evidence to you.
Mr.. Robert Odbcrt, machinist, liv-
ing at POI Cameron street, Detroit,
Mich, had 4 very distressing expert
ence with rheumatism for about two
years. He makes the following state
mcnt: about the year 1887 / felt the
| effects of rheumatism which gradually
grew worse until | was compelled to
give up work for a time. The years
| of 80 and '9S l was confined to my bed
treatment but found no relief. My

ward and red blotches appeared all
over them. Frequently they panied
me 50 that / had to bind them tightly
with strips of linen. This sometimes
relieved the pain but at other times
failed to DO so. At times l had to
crawl to my work, using two crutches.
| During these spells I suffered greatly
from pain around my heart which I at
tributed to the rheumatism.
| nj last my mother, who then lived
in StratfOrd, wrote me and asked me to
| take Il course of treatment with Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. / did and in q
short time | found myself getting

perfectly cured. | have not had the
| least sign Of the disease since and feel
better now than l ever did. For these
! reasons | recommend DR.. Williams
| Pink Pills to any one affected the same
as | was"
The testimony of Mr.. Odbert. con-
corning the specific value of DR..
Williams Pink Pills as a cure for
| rheumatism. is of interest to all suf-
ferers from this most distressing
disease. DR.. Williams Pink Pills not
