The Federation in Politics.

By way of reply to some slanderous criticisms ut
tered against him by magazine writer the American
Federation of Labor, in session at Norfolk Va last
week, unanimously elected Samuel Gompers presi-
dent of the Federation to succeed himself
The Federation expressed an intention to send Mr..
Gompers to the British and German Trades Con-
gress next year as special delegate, but he con-
WINGED the Federation that it would be better for
him to remain in the United States during the
Presidential campaign. He assumed that the enc
mics of organized labor might make capital out of
his absence should be go away, to the prejudice of
the cause he represented.
1t is probable that this not the entire reason
for his declinaton. The Federation of Labor is
understood to be in politics, having pursued with
.vgor of the Congressional candidates in 1906
who had been conspcuously opposed to legislation in
behalf of organized labor, and it may be presumed
that Mr.. Gompers desires to remain at home that
he may direct campaign proceedings should any be
found necessary during the National struggle of 1908

A Real Confidence Tonic.

Mr.. Bryans plan for the restoration of confidence
is being commended and criticised according to the
partisanship of the moulder of opinion. 1t is a
simple plan, offering of the unfathomabe in
trcacies propounded by persons who are mentioned
financiers.
Mr. Bryan proposes to establish confidence by in
surfing depositors in banks against loss Clearly, if
with large or small accumuations of capital
can be assured that money entrusted to the custody
of banks will be returned to them when they want
it, they will not withdraw it from circulation and
place it in hiding. If all the money that belongs to
individuals is employed in the transactions of bust
ness currency famine ensue and the public
will be subjected to no Inconvenience or danger
Mr.. Bryan proposes that the general Government
shall guarantee the of all bank deposits and
that the Government shall be protected by fund to
which all National banks shall contribute through
assessments. The general Government now guar
antees the issues of National banks and is protected
against loss by holding in its custody the bonds of
the Government, owned by the banks
Under the Bryan plan, the Government would
extend its protection the capital of the people,
something vastly important in the realm of
finance than the circulating notes issued by the
banks. With this accomplished it would not be
necessary to periodically urge public confidence in
shakey system and fasten upon the people blame for
conditions they have not produced
Confidence cannot be inspired by rhetoric or ora
tory 1t can be inspired by making safe the accumu-
lations of the thrifty, and the plan of the great
commoner is simple and easily understood and would
prove effective, even though it is product of the
populistc philosophy of few years ago.

Unloading Its Land.

In news special from Pocatello in this State to
the Salt Lake Tribune is said that there is belief
in that part of Idaho that it the intention of the
Mormon church to go out of business, not alone in
that section, but in all sections of the State. The
evidence upon which that assumption is based is
the sale of the Mormon church farm of $4,000 acres
of land in Bear Lake County by President Joseph
E. Smith to Ezra Bulge, of Paris, Idaho the alleged
consideration being $4,000.
1t is remarked in the same connection that the
church owns other large farms in Bannock and
Bingham counties and that they likely to be sold
within negotiable time.
A correspondent residing in that section of the
State is of the opinion that the church has become
alarmed at the recent developments in the courts
and by the Investigations of the Interior Department
through which the country has been appraised of the
fraudulent acquisition of land by individuals and
corporations and is preparing to dives itself of its
real estate, most of which was secured through the
services of dummy entrymen.
Others are of the opinion that the Government
can make no case against the Mormon establish
ment, which is able to enforce complete requirement
with the land laws through its power the
bers of the church. If the church covets quarter
section of the public domain it directs one of the
faithful to locate upon it, to fulfill all the demands
of the homestead act to make final proof and secure
unquestioned title and then, in the course of time,
he may sell it to some who afterwards sells it
to the church corporation.
1t is believed that the church corporation has
guarded itself against prosecution effectively
than have the thoughtess thieves that have been
caught in the nets of the Interior Department fish
ermen.
That the Mormon church is going through the
tons of transferring its immense landed estates in
Idaho to private individuals is obvious though when

In fact the Federation referred to Mr.. Gompers
resolution declaring Secretary Taft to be one of
the judges responsible for the potency of Federal
injunctions in their application to strikes in labor
circles and left to his judgment the question of OPP
posing the nomination of Mr. Taft as a Presidential
candidate
1t will therefore be seen that Mr. Gompers may
have enough to do at home in the interest of the
organization he represents.

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

President Joseph E. Smith transfers $4,000 to
Ezra Bulge, opinion will agree that the property
has not been placed so far away from the grasp of
the church to be rrevocably lost, for the Bulge
family is a considerable portion of the church, with
its numerous side lines.
Those that have closely watched the mutations
of Mormon management conclude that the church is
putting its house in order in preparation for
of the probabilities of the distant future, when
it may become Improbable for the church corpora
ton to own any considerable portion of real estate
1t foresees perhaps the adoption of the contem-
plated Constitutional amendment that will place all
the polygamousy inclined people in the United
States under the jurisdiction of the general govern
ment.
With the proposed amendment part of the Fed
eral Constitution almost any degree of confscatory
legislation would become possible and the Mormon
mind reverts readily to the time when the general
government declared forfeited all the tangible prop
erty Of the church That the escheat was revoked
after the politicians had been properly worked by
the emssaries of the saints does not insure like
success should Constitutional provision intervene
to give additional force to the acts of Congress.
Mormonism may have become aware of an agi-
aton of proposition to again declare forfeited the
real property of the Mormon church, unless it aban-
dons in good faith the crime of polygamy, and if
it is again escheated the act will be perpetual
1t is known that the Mexican branch of the Nor
mon establishment is growing rapidly, seven pros
pering colonies having located in the land of Diaz,
where they enjoy full license in the exploitation of
their favorite indulgence polygamous practices.
The possibility that the church is parting with its
landed property in Idaho and Utah with the pur-
pose of ultimately migrating to a country where
of wives is no impeachment to citizen
shin has drnlv suggested itself though If is under
stood that the hierarchy will exhaust its multitude
resources before it surrenders the right to main
tain polygamy on the soil of the United States.

Enter "The ToymakerS."

The new story by Charles FELTON,
Pidgin which he calls "The Toy
makers" and from which he has con,
structed musical absurdity with the
same title, has. material which assures it
a long lite. One needs no introduce
ton TO this author, as former work
of his, Quincy Adams Sawyer has
been laughed over in every part of the
country and in its damatized form has
been called the best New England
play ever written" Every one who
has seen Mr.. Pidgin's new musical alb
surdity will endorse the judgement
that it is destined to equal mis- former
success in popularity which is by way
of saying that it ranks with the very
best. 1.-The Toymakers" is booked on
Monday, Oct. 81, 1907 and will be linn
tied to one night ouly.
The company formed, for its produc
tion is called ''The Jollities" and is
under the management of Charles F.
Atkinson and James Thatcher. The
catchy and tuneful melodies that
abound in this pretty opera would in
themselves make a reputation for it
and the composers, Charles d. Blake
and John A. Bennett, have given Mr..
Pidgin's lyrics worthy setting. The
scenes are laid in the shop of an old
toymaker in England and the situa
tions are so genuinely funny with such
bright and sparkling wit that the in
terest of the audience is wrought to a
high pitch. The impersonation of
mechanical doll by the belle of the viii
lage is most amusing and queer com
plications can be imagined. Every
where .'The Toymakers" has been
given, it has received the most cordial
reception and its praise as something
new" has been unstinted.

that he borrowed them while driving

in the morning. Buckley" says it was
so cold that he was about frozen, really
suffered and knew Chas. was good
natured and obliging so hejust helped
himself to the blankets, and kicked the
snow from off his feet and the frozen
mustache thawed out as he approached
his livery stable, singing,
And when they ask where he halls from,
Our sole reply shall be:
He comes from Sizerville,
Where flows the healthful drink.

ONE ARM 0 $4,000.
Jury Values One Koneski Lost at That
Amount-Previously Awarded $14, ZOO.

The jury that heard the story of the
lost right arm of Adelburtus Koneski
since Tuesday in the Supreme Court
circuit returned a verdict of So, 800 late
yesterday afternoon, as the EVENING
STAR told in yesterdays night edition,
against the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company. The
amount was agreed to after a deliber-
alton of nearly two hours.
Koneski lost his right arm while at
work in an ashpit in the company's
yards in Secaucus in March. 1905, and
the defense. which put up an elaborate
system of models to ~elucidate the ac-
cident, according to its theory, claimed
contributory negligence.
The case was tried before, when
Koneski got 8. verdict for $4,000 in
damages, but the upper courts, to whom
the railroad company appealed, set II
aside on the general ground that It was
excessive, and a retrial was ordered.

for Alderman-elect Jerome y. Congle-
ton, of the Eleventh Ward.
Had William u. Masker, of the First
Ward. won over his Democratic oppo-
nent, Joseph A. Wright. in the recent

for ~Congleton.
Alderman Oliver NJ. Cairns was selected
by the caucns for Republican Aldermanic
member of the Board of City Home Trus-
tees, TO succeed Alderman Emil Wohlfarth,
Of the Third Ward. whose term expires
the end Of the year, md who failed OF re-
etlecion to the Council.
Alderman-eiect Whitfield. of the Eighth
Ward, was chosen as secretary of the
caucus for the coming year.
On the vote for minority leader Meyer
received the uppor of Congleton, Alder
mea-elect Seeker and Enrich. of the Six
teenth Ward, and c. Wurtemburg Smith.
Of the Ninth Ward, and Alderman Cairns,
of the First. For Congleton, Mr.. Meyer
and A-ldernen-elect Hopper and Whitfield,
Of the Eighth, and Schmitt, of the Fiji
teentl. The caucus lasted but a short
time and the feeling was OF the best. All
selections were finally made unanimous.
The Republican representation in the
Council next year will be the smallest in
years.
The Republican and Democratic Alder-
