THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

and on election day, finding that he running be-
hind on his ticket, the church transferred bodily its
large of plant voters to the Democratic col
to beat the American candidate. There has
been much change since that time; and it is
longer necessary to rely upon the personal popular
ty of Morris. Plummer is as strong a candidate as
any Gentle could be, and the church has had two
years to prepare its Democratic voters to slump to
the Republican candidate Last year the local De-
mocracy of Salt Lake cast approximately 1000 votes
1t is questionable if in this municipal election Morris
will get more than 1000 In such case the race will
probably show: Bransford, American, first; Plum
mer, church Republican, second, and Norris church
Democrat, third The Democracy will have fulfilled
the ignob1e purpose of its present main
tenance under ecclesiastical election; it will have
held itself together an aid to the Smoot church
Republican party and it will have added one more
dishonor as we'll as defeat to its record
However, are brought at this point to a some
what sardonic pause by the consciousness that no
mere outside observer can be quite of the Nor
mon church purpose until that purpose is revealed
by the event Under the cover of a promise to Dr.
P1ummer the Republican candidate and pretended
devotion to his candidacy, the church may be merely
intending to give Mr.. Morris chance to demonstrate
to the world personal popularity carefully induced
by secret Instructions it may be merely intending
TO capture the City council OF Salt Lake, thereby
multiplying the effects of an American party victory
in case of the election of an American party mayor
Indeed there not wanting indications that the lat
ter is their real intent regardless of the fate of both
Pummer and Morris; since the church leaders, dom
mating the local political machine, have succeeded in
effecting fusion of Democrats and Republicans in
various wards in Salt Lake, making of these heredi-
tary enemies political bedfelows at the behest of
the church, in order to the election of the
church city councilmen.
That there be any question of the event in
Salt Lake City is the highest tribute to the evil sa-
gacity of the Mormon leaders, Salt Lake is essen
tally Gentle in its population it has multiplied
numerically and financially under the impetus of
Gentle citizenship; its future is dependent upon
Gentle domination. Under these circumstances and
with the full consciousness that the eyes of the
nation are upon Salt Lake, would think that
the Genti1es would rally around the American party,
and that no man or woman not slave to the Nor
mon church, would be wanting for the American
cause when the roll shall be called on election day.

Out In the Open.

Just why the Republicans e., the Mormon

work to daylight game in this years race is past
comprehension for the ordinary mortal Nothing
short of revelation will unravel the mystery 1t
is certain however, that the church is to fight
in the open Already preparations have practically
been completed for the appointment of committee
of five mon partsans" by the bishop in each Nor
mon ward in town, and these committees will make
house to house canvasses, urging that Plummer be
supported. The trick has been long expected by the
Americans, but it not believed that it was COM

QUAINT IDEAS OF CHILDREN.
Collection That Reveals Workings Of
the Youthful Mind.

The late Frederick X. Coudert, the
noted lawyer and wit, had great
kindness for children. He collected
lndefatigably the quaint sayings OF
children, and one Of the treasures OF
his library was a small manuscript
volume filled with definitions that
children had composed. This volume
was called "A Child's Dictionary" and
these are some OF the definitions that
Mr.. Coudert would read from the
book.
"Dust--Mud with the juice squeezed
out of 1t"
"Snoring-Letting OFF sleep"
"Backbiter--A mosquito"
"Fan--A thing TO brush the warm
off with"

the cold"

SHIPS HAVE TO SEEK PORT
FIERCE GALE FORCES ABANDON
MENT OF TARGET PRACTICE.

The Secretary of the Navy has received
Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet. In
regard to the heavy gale which prevail d
along the New England coast last night
and which caused the vessels of the fleet
to abandon the target practice in which
they were engaged in Cape Cod bay, off
Provincetown, and proceed to nearby har-
bors. The flagship Connecticut and several
others went TO Portsmouth. and most of the
others, including the battleshp Illinois and
the refrigerating ship Glacier, went to Bos-
ton. Two casualties were reported One
was the death of Lieut.. Furse of the Il
linos, who was thrown down a hatchway
and killed, and the otneT was the drowning
of Harris Carroll. an ordinary seaman on
the battleship Minnesota. who was washed
overheard and lost. Carroll was born in
Bakeriield, Cal. and WAS a resident of
Deersburg. Tenn.
The Glacier lost an anchor in the storm
and went to Boston to replace it. 1t was
currently rumored that the cruiser Des
Mones, which was with the fleet at Prov
incetown had been in collision with bat
Navy Department for the reason that the
dispatches far received from Admiral
Evans are silent on the subject
1t Is stated at the Navy Department that
the vessels will probably return to the
target grounds and resume their inter-
rupted practice as soon the seas subSde
and the targets. most OF which were torn
from their moorings by the Winds can be
replaced.
