electors to vote for and against GER
tain candidates.
It is said by those favoring the plan
that it cannot be questioned because
a preference vote on senator confers
no legal right, In fact, on any voter
1t is true that whatever the result
of the vote on senator, they say, the
legislature has the legal power to
nullify the vote by electing some other
person to the senate, after all; and
since this always must be true, a
privilege merely to express prefer
ence and no right to effect an election
Is conferred Therefore 1t is argued,
it cannot be claimed with reason that
limiting the exercise Of this privilege
to those voting for certain candidates
for Office tends to coerce or unduly
influence or reward or penalize the
voter in such way as to infringe his
freedom of suffrage.
Senatorial Succession.
Not only is there difference of
opinion among the lawyers as to the
legality of law limiting participa-
| ton in primary to those who vote
a straight party ticket, but since the
question has arisen for the legislature
of today to act upon, differences OF
opinion have arisen as to whether the
| legislature must act on the senator,

10 Plan Invalid?
Lawyers disagree as to the validity
Of the plan to restrict participation in
the senatorial primary to those who
vote any specified portion Of the party
ticket. Many believe it would be
held constitutional Most Of the stand
patters take this view of it.
But it has been disclosed that in the
standpat conference at the Chamber
lain hotel last Tuesday noon, preced-
ing the conference Of the afternoon,
in which all Republicans participated,
and at which the Missouri idea was
discussed, question as to its constitu-
tionality was raised by George D.
Perkins.
1t is insisted by some of the law
yers, now, that it would be unconstitu-
tional to make such condition on
| the Australian ballot on the theory
that it would amount to coercion, un
due influence, penalty or reward to

Power of COmmerCialism.

Of every ten dollars that the Mormon devotee
accumulateS one must go to, the church Of every
ten steers, or Chickens eggs, anything else that
industry and frugality produces must go to the
church. If not, the one refusing to pay the 1.-THE
is out of fellowship with the religious establishment
and his soul is consigned to the devil
The church fattens under the business system it
enforces and accumulates the wealth that enables
it to become commercial power that can destroy
as well as build. The revenue in tthes amounts to
100000 year and its custodians are not supposed
to make any accounting to the contributors. 1t is
rather loose system and it is likely to creep into
public affairs in those places where the church con-
trolls in politics.
There are individuals who are willing to permit the
church to control in politics rather than encounter
the danger of the opposition of the church to the
business in which they interested. The church
is not above the exercise of coercion through the
business methods it is able to enforce and it thus
makes two-edged sword of the comrrercialism it is
able to promote through resources exclusively its
own
The commercalism of the church thus becomes an
enemy to general progress and renders it subject
for public criticism 1t is legitimate topic for dis
cusson, along with the political and poygamous
aspects of heirarcha control

1t Protects or Destroys.

Newspapers of all political shades are commenting
in acrimonious vein the remark OF Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means committee of the
National House of Representatives, who said: Let
the tariff on wood pulp and paper remain, and the
more newspapers killed the merrier."
Mr. Payne in common with his wordy party asso-
cates, is ncessant in his iteration of the dogma that
the tariff of Repubcanism is the promoter builder
and prop of the industrial system and the guardian of
the wage But he rather thinks will destroy
the great industry of newspaper making and hopes
it will, for he could then become merry and light
hearted and filled with the elixir of joy
A system that protects and builds and tears down
and destroys all at the time is surely won

gress will do we'll to select their pets and their aver
sons in the industrial line and put them in the way

Unfortunately for the newspapers, Mr.. Payne is in
position where he perpetuate the duty on wood
pulp and paper for when he and the Speaker and
one or two others put their hands to the wheel the
ship heads in any direction they may agree upon.
AS means of self preservation, representatives of
the overtaxed industry would do we'll to release their
murderous instincts and direct them against the
official existence of the merry chairman of ways and

National Doctrine.

That the Democratic party is awake to the menace
of polygamy in the mountain States can be ascer-
tanned by reference to its past utterances In Ma
tional convention at St. Louis in 1904, the Demo-
cratic party of all the States said in its PLATFORM
We demand the determination of poygamy within
the jurisdiction of the United States and complete
separation of church and state in political affairs
This declaration is commended to the consdera-
ton of the few Democrats who are trying to make
a commercial asset of party by bringing it under
the subsection of trade. The Democratic party of
the State and the Nation recognizes po1ygamy and
the interference of church in politics ndefensble
evils, not to be condoned by any advantage that may
come to individuals.
The doctrine is utiltarian in its highest sense and
upon that doctrine the party is disposed to stand so
conspicuously that it is violation of party faith to
consider any terms with the common enemy of
American institutions.
The position of the Democratic party of Idaho
has been repeatedly stated 1t stands as firmly
against poygamy and church interference as the
National party and in its attitude there is no COM
promise with vice

Republican Campaigning.

Joseph P. Falon, of Kootena County, has been
making trip through the southern part of the State
in behalf of his candidacy for Congress on the Re-
publican ticket, to succeed Congressman French We
haven't noticed whether the Hon. Fallon extended
his trip to Salt Lake
Colonel Hamer, of Fremont County, was in Boise
few days since in behalf of his candidacy for
Congress, to succeed Burton L. Colonel Hamer
made fair start, inasmuch he had with him
several Mormon bishops.
This looks promising on the surface and may fool
the uninitiated careless observer-Mormon bish-
ops are valuable to candidates for Republican hon
ors, after the word has gone out from the authori
ties at Salt Lake. A Mormon bishops promise in
Idaho is without value in advance of the determine
ton of the herarchs in Utah
The Scmitar aims to give sound advice at all
times Whenever it learns of the candidacy of any
Republican for high office it wonders if the can
ddate has persuaded the church authorities to sup
port him-Congressrnan French went to Salt Lake
Immediately preceding his departure for Washington
We have suspicion that he again received the con-
sent of Joseph F. to once more for Congress-
Colonel Hamer, Mr.. Fallon, Fred Reed and others
will do well to investigate There is only one place
for them to campaign successfully. If our surmse
is correct and French has made satisfactory arrange
ments with the authorities, they will save themselves
much worry, work and money and some humiliation,
by knowing in advance. Every of these aspirants
for Congress, and every candidate for Governor or
Senator knows absolutely that his only hope of
success is through the favor of the Mormons If
they are not aware of the fact The Scimitar takes
real pleasure in informing them that the ordinary
Mormon in Idaho doesn't count except in the vot-
ing at the polls When it comes to nominating the
high officers, Senator Governor and Congressman
the high officers of the church at Salt Lake deter
mine. The Idaho Republican statesmen can simplify
their campaigns by making them in Salt Lake

Out No Political Posters.
John Mitchell. for years president of
the United Mine Workers, gave out a
statement at indianapolis in which he
said he had sent out no posters, with
picture Of himself. advising union men
how to vote in the coming election. Such
posters, it is said, have been received
by many unions. He also denied the
authenticity of dispatch printed In a
Buffalo paper and purporting to come
from him, in the interests Of one of the
presidential candidates.

TRUE PARTY TEST.
Record Of Republican Party Entities
It to Confidence.

Before the New York State conven-
ton Secretary of State Elihu Root
said:
I'VE have record which forbids dis
enlargement or doubt in the perform
ance of our task. We can turn TO the
administrations now drawing TO close,
both in the State and in the nation,
and with confidence ask every Ameri-
can voter to say whether they have
not met all the great fundamental
requisites Of good government, whether
they do not justify the belief that it is
best for the country to keep in power
the party which is responsible for them
and is entitled to the credit for them
Have not these administrations within
the state and within the nation been
honest? Have they not been capable?
Have they not been efficient? Have
they not set before all the people of
America examples of pure, high-mind-
ed and patriotic service in public Of
fee? Have they not raised the stand
ard Of public duty which the young
men Of America set for themselves?
Have they not done us honor before
the world?
These are the true tests by which to
determine whether ii is wise to con-
the world? These are the true tests by
which to determine whether it Is wise
to continue political party in power.
