A DishOnored Article.

On page 438, in paragraph 9, of the Articles of
Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints (wrtten by appointment and published by the
church) it is stated:
We do not believe it just to mngle religious in
Huence with civil government whereby religious
society fostered and another prescribed in its spir
ltual privileges and the individual rights of its mem
bers citizens denied.
In the testimony of E. 3. Critchlow member of
the first Legislature of the State of Utah, submitted
during the Smoot investigation (the testimony be-
ginning page SAP of the first vo1ume) the wit
ness said
The first thing that came to attention was
the fact, which disclosed only at the end of the
session. that there had been during the period of
that Legislature and, so far as it appeared, during
its entire session, committee appointed by the heads
OF the church to supervise legislation. That
the first State Legislature. !. 1t was in the first
three months of 1896. We came in State on the
9th of January And that has appeared from evil
dence. All the bills which had been submitted to the
Legislature for passage had been turned over
to this committee of elders of the church for the
purpose of being passed upon by them whether
they were proper legislation for the Legislature
to act upon
Mr. Critchow further testified that it was the
general understanding that if a member of the
hierarchy became candidate for the United States
Senate, no lay member of the church could aspire
to that Office for he would not dare to oppose the
political choice of the presidency and the apostles
Mr.. Smoot himself testified, in his own case that
had he become candidate for the Senate without
the consent of his brother apostles and the pres-
dency he would have been subjected to removal from
his apostleship and the defeat of his Senatorial
aspirations
The of Moses Thatcher also came into the
and it shown that he was dropped
from the quorum of apostles because he endeavored
to seat in the United States Senate without
the consent of the hierarchy
These are but sample cases. There are so many
violations of the above quoted article of faith that
one is constrained to believe that it is made part
of the platform of the church chiefly for the pur-
pose of misleading the public. In Idaho emssaries
IF the church numerously among the people
Turing periods of political excitement They occupy
he lobby of the Legislature whenever during its
sessions, the church is interested in the passage or
1efeat of measures
So, when the articles of faith declare that eve
10 not believe it just to mingle religious influence
With civil government" the balance of the world will
conclude that insncery operates in the councils and
professions of the saints

There is an interesting bill before Congress
interesting to the New York cotton exchange and
boards of trade at grain centers 1t seeks to pro-
h1bt the interstate transmission of telegraph and
telephone message relating to contracts for future
deliveries OF cotton and there is intention so
amend it as to cause it to apply to the grain trade
Enacted into law, it would wipe out all the exchanges
and boards of trade in the country and put stop
to the gambling transactions there carried on A
strong lobby is being organized to defeat the meas
ure, demonstrating the need of National anti
lobby law.

First Formal Endorsement

The first authorized party pledge to Mr.. Bryan
was adopted by the Democratic central committee of
South Dakota which declared at a recent session
that the Democrats of the State would direct their
influence toward the election of convention dele
cation favorable to his nomination. Under instruc-
tons from the committee the secretary teegraphed
to Mr.. Bryan, saying:
The State Democratic central committee of South
Dakota sends greetings and pledges its loyal support
for your nomination and election in 1908
Although South Dakota has always been strongly
Republican, 1t gave Mr.. Bryan small majority in
1896 and it manfests strong symptoms of bestowing
a larger majority him in 1908 A majority could
come only out of Republican votes, but the prairie
States that cluster about Nebraska are not tied to
the wheels of the Republican machine though they
are counted in the Republican column

The Fargo Forum of Satur-
day devotes over a column edi-
torial indorsing the efforts of
Mr.. Geo. E. Wallace, who, as
Secretary of the Commercial
Club more than a year ago
started a movement to have
the assessed valuation of North
Dakota property increased to
something more nearly like the
real value of the property. Af-
ter pointing out the advantages
of the increased assessed valua-
ton which greatly out number
the objections thereto, which
are also noted the Forum closed
by saying: "The plan to double
the assessed valuation will fall
far short of remedying all the
existing evils, but it will be a
step in the right direction and
may result in an awakening of
the public conscience to the
adoption of a more honest and
fairer plan"

AMICABLY SETTLED.

It will be good news to the
people in the north half of this
county to hear that the bank
ruptcy proceeding in the Unit
ed State court, brought by the
creditors of the United Farm
ers' Exchange Co, Of Aber.
crombie has been amicably set
tiled. Had the case gone on
and the company been declared
a bankrupt it would mean
financial ruin for a number of
farmers in that vicinity. The
receiver H. ]. Hagen has been
dismissed and the affairs of the
exchange will be hereafter in
charge of the Manager, I K.
Lockren, who has been in
charge for some time. The
terms of the settlement as re-
ported between the creditors
and the company is the pay
ment in cash of IS per cent,
this amount being paid by A.
K. Tweto president of the Rich
land County State Bank at
Abercrombie.
LATER: Since the above was
written we have received a
more detailed statement of the
settlement which is as follows:
The company to pay fifteen per
cent cash, being about tn e
amount of cash Receiver Hagen
turned over to the corporation.
Five per cent July 1st, five per
cent August 1st and ten per
cent month until the fifty.fve
per cent is paid, which will be
November let. In the mean
time the company will be in
the hands of trustee, who
must be disinterested party,
chosen by the creditors and the
corporation. After that time
the corporation m ay ia k e
charge of it's property if they
make their payments. During
the time the trustee has possess
sion the creditors are entitled
to have one clerk. This is a
loss to the creditors of about
$25,0O0. Mr.. Tweto pays $11 900
lie expenses of litigation.

MRS. wALLIN FOUND.

The body of Mrs. Wallin was
found Monday morning in an
open cistern in the rear of the
Merchants hotel at Lidger
wood. Mrs. Wallin disappear
ed last November and efforts
to locate her were unsuccessful.
She was the wife of farmer
ten miles southwest of Lidger-
wood, and had been to Minnea-
polls for medical treatment
She suddenly developed mental
trouble and was placed on a
train and sent to that point.
Just when the train reached
there she sprang from the plat
form and ran. Her husband
aud friends instituted a search
for the unfortunate woman but
were unable to find her and as
a severe storm arose that night
it was generally thought she
had wandered away and had
been lost on the prairie.
Monday morning a hired girl
at the hotel found the body in
the cistern. 1t is supposed that
Mrs. Wallin had endeavored to
seek shelter from the storm by
entering the hotel from the
back way, and had fallen into
the open cistern.
Besides the husband several
young children were left.
