The Mormon people acknowledge
that they practice polygamy as a
divine right, and that they have
been instructed to do so by the Most
High. This is practice which is
not only most revolving to our CIV
ilization, but is contrary tc the NOR
al instinct and teaching of our peo-
pie; and the test oath introduced
in tile legislature is a law to con-
troll a condition which is admit
Ted to exist by the criminals them
selves. That is the difference be-
tween the vie VS. of the Legislators
who insist upon the bill as it was
introduced and the measure as the
governor would have it-one knows
that polygamy exists and the other
tries to make himself believe that
humanity in general is composed of
prostitutes and libertines. Such
law might be of great benefit to
the governor, however. The Nor
mons would continue to support
him while the decent women of the
state would resent having their
chastity and personal honor inn
pugned by the law and refuse to
go to the polls. We can not COM
prehend how the people can under
stand the pleas of the governor in
any other light than that of impugn-
ing their personal honor and one of
the worst kind of insults that could
be conceived of in the mind of man.
If Governor Gooding, as leading
representative of his party should
veto the measure as it will more
than likely be passed by the legisla-
ture, because the phraseology is
not as he would have it, the re-
publican party should be showed
under so deep in the next campaign
in that state that its resurrection
would be impossible. Salmon Re-
corder.

Boise is jubilant Short Line en-
gineers are now in the field trying
10 find a line into the capital from
some point bet ween Orchard and
OwYhee. That the largest and most
important city in the state should
be located at the end of stub line
when its geographical location
makes it a matter of comparatively
little trouble and expense to place
1t on the main line, is a rank in
justice to its residents and large
and growing interests and source
OF never ending wonder to the tour
Ist and prospective settler. The
entire state will rejoice with Boise
in its good fortune, end will expect
TO see it forge ahead at a rate rem
dered impossible heretofore.

Democrats may differ among
themselves and from republicans as
to the details of a direct primary
bill, but these differences will not
lead them to oppose the direct pri-
mary. 1t is democratic and no dem
ocrat can afford to vote against it.
The expense of the primary should
be borne by the city, county or state
rather than by the candidates, for a
tax upon the candidates tends to re-
strict the offices and make money
the test in office holding. The Com
moner prefers the plan which COM
pels the voter to announce his party
affiliations, for without this the
majority party might make the
nominations for the minority party
as well, but this is detail. When
the democrats have done their best
to perfect the bill they should sup
port it and correct the defects in
the measure later. -Commoner.

Senator Dubois, though beaten in
the effort which he and others made
to GUST Senator Smoot is determined
to make the most Of the few days
yet before him as member Of the
upper chamber of commerce to car
ny on the fight against polygamy.
He has made commendable recof d
by his vigorous and consistent
warfare on this great evil, and
though he has not accomplished
all that he undertook to do he has
helped in stirring up and keeping
alive sentiment that is for the
good of the nation. 1t is hardly
to be believed that the Mormon
church would have abandoned poly
gamy-as it says it has-had not
the national voice against the prac-
tice been so emphatically expressed.

The spectacle of a governor threat
ening the legislature does not look
good to the average American citi-
zen and Governor Gooding has
lowered himself to the level of the
gutter snipe by so doing. We care
not what the matter may have been
that has caused him to take such a
step, the fact remains that his &C
ton would have been the same in
effect. The action is without pre-
cedent, without decency or ordinary
horse sense and not only lowers the
standard of the man making it, but
that of the office he holds as we'll.
1t is preposterous to think that a
Legislature cannot pass bill that
does not bear the stamp of approval
of the governor before il is passed,
regardless of what it may refer to,
and the governor who lowers him
self to the position OF lobbyist and
threatens is not fit for the office.
II the bill does not meet with his
approval he has a perfect right to
veto it, but he should keep his
mouth closed until the bill is passed

According to prophecy made by
an Italian astronomer, this mundane
sphere is due to collide with the tail
of a comet about the latter end of
March. AS to the exact time or
point of contact deponent saith

posed of nothing more substantial
than gases, we may escape with a
disagreeable odor for short time,
but if it should be solid substance,
we may experience a shock that
will jar us into a realization of
the unpleasant fact that added to
the already numerous and disastr-
Gus things that now beset our al
ready too brief journey through life
is the risk of personal contact with
stray comets. 1t seems as though

There should be very little trouble

1t is measure that should be
passed, and if an amendment is
needed to suit the conditions in GER
rain counties it should be possible
TO make it without delay. The
proposed change is needed in the
law to enable the juvenile court to
do its work properly where there
are SO many probationers that vol
untcer probation officers cannot be
secured. There is no other system
known that is so efficacious in ar
resting the downward course OF
youths who have got start on the

of youths have been saved. and we
should have the full benefit of the
