Editor Free Press: The nation
al democratic platform at st. Louis,
Jul y 8, 1904, adopted the following
declaration against polygsmy and
Mormon church domination in
politics:
I'VE demand the determination
Of polygamy within the Jurisdiction
Of the United States, and the CON-
plete separation Of church and
state in political affairs"
W. J. Bryan was chairman oi
the subcommittee on resolutions
which drafted that plank. 1t
was incorporated into the platform
by the entire committee on reso-
lutions, and it was unanimously
adopted by the entire con vention
It therefore stands as the latests,
highest, most authoritative and
binding declaration Of national
de mocratic party law upon the
Mormon question.
The democratic state convention
held at Lewiston in August, 1904,
localized the Mormon question by
the following declaration in its
state platform;
| "We demand the extermination
Of polygsmy and unlawful co-hab.
itstion within the state of Idaho,
and the complete separation oi
ch urch and state political affairs''

see, what was that she said about the
| house of York and rose?'
Squaring to the task before him he
began to sort his notes, some of which
| were in longhand. others in shorthand,
while others were to be found only in
his mind. When in order the result
read as follows:
The Young Wumen's Christian asso-
citation of Los Angeles and adjacent
territory, including the entire city and
the suburbs, will enter upon mem
bersnip contest April 1, which is to
last until May /. (This. by the way,
is fact and not an April Fool joke)
The object of the war is to increase
the membership of the association, that
there may be a larger number of Wo-
men definitely interested in the work
who will share in the increased expense
of the new home on Hill street.
Battlefield Selected
The battlefield will be the associa-
ton rooms, each company Will consist
of ten lieutenants and ninety regulars
to be officered by Capt. Emma Rosa
for the white rose and Capt. Gladys
Dewitt for the red rose.
The emblems are red rose and
white one, of the real California va

the crowning of the successful captain
as queen on May day.
The spoils of war: To every young
woman who secures twenty-five new
members, scholarship for the educa-
tional year 10000, either in the gym
nasium, English department or Do
mestic Science department, as she may
elect.
To the young woman who secures
the most new members, a scholarship
as above, with a two weeks summer

March 5, showed total of 4338 men,

One hundred dollars paid at any one

Five dollars paid annually constitutes
a Sustaining member.
One dollar paid annually constitutes

MAY INCREASE SALARIES
OF APP0INTIVE OFFICERS
Appellate Court Reverses Judgment of
Lower Body and Decision viii
Have Effect on Entire
State

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-The
district court of appeals today decided
a point OF constitutional law in the
case of Thomas r. Harold, deputy
county surveyor of Fresno county,
against H. E. Barnum, auditor of the
county of Fresno, that will settle the
question of increased salaries so far
as county or municipal deputy officials
are concerned.
The question was whether the act
increasing the salary of the deputy
comes. within the prohibition of the
articles of the state constitution, which
provides that the compensation of any
county, city or municipal officer shall
not be increased after his election dur
ing his term of office.
The appellate court reversed the
judgment of the lower court and held
that this section of the constitution
applies only to officers who have a
fixed and definite term, and that it
does not apply to the appointive Off
GERS, who hold at the pleasure of the
appointing power In other words, the
law increasing the salaries of appoint
ed deputies during the term of office
of their chief is not at variance with
the provision of the constitution men
