John H. Buford of Bull, who owns
100 acres of land south of Bull, has
been offered $S5 an acre. He is one OF
our prosperous and progressive farm
ers and has 10 acres in wheat, Az
acres in oats and 10 acres in garden
and pasture, and this has all been done

farmer may do in this country that
has push and energy in him.
The building of the Bull Pressed
Brick company will soon be completed
Two carloads of machinery including
fourteen ton press arrived last week
and is now being installed. The plant
which will have a capacity for making
Is 900 to 10000 brick a day is expected
to be put in full operation about the
25th of this month. The company
now has on it's pay roll fifteen men.
Not only Bull but all this section of
Idaho will be greatly benefited by the
successful operation Of the plant.

nor Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri, was
rather eagerly discussed and the nam
es OF John w. Kern, OF Indiana, and
Clark Howell, of Georgia, were also
mentioned with much interest, as was
Charles A. Towne, of New York. In
fact long list might be made of men
east, west and south who figured in
the early morning gossip.
For nearly 60 hours the committee
on resolutions was in practically con-
tinuOuS session at work on the plat
form and ire document was not pre-
scented to the convention until nearly
midnight. The plank on trusts was
the last to be adopted. Judge Par
ker, of New York, ex-senator Smith,
of New Jersey and Senator Newlands,
of Nevada, had been united in opposi-
| ton to any expression on the sub
| ject.
| Ex-senator Dubois, of Idaho pro-
posed an anti-polygamy plank, which
was finally defeated by vote of Is to
20. In this connection telegram
from Mr. Bryan to his brother was
read in which Mr.. Bryan said he had
not taken in any part or expressed
any opinion on the subject; that the
interested states should be given a
hearing, but judgment not be influence
ed one way or the other by him.
A superstitious sergeant-at-arms
prevented Bryan's nomination on Fri
day, for as the hands of the CLOCK
pointed close to midnight, he climbed
the railing opposite the speaker
platform and stopped time in it's flight
amid the approving cheers OF dele
gates.

c., was at least 500 years before the He
brews, as a people, had any existence. If
we give any credence to the Hebrew Bible,
and we have no other evidence on the sub
ject, the Hebrews first came into existence
by that name after the consolidation OF
the tribes, ten, more Or less, under David
and Solomon, about 500 B. c. For some time
before that, different tribes of monotheists
crossed the Tigris and Euphrates as emil
grants for Syria, and with them each
brought its tribal name. When David and
Solomon (about 500 B. c. gathered up these
monotheistio tribes, only few out or
many such then in Syria, they were then
for the first time called Hebrews-a word
meaning emigrant, a crosser of the river.
These emigrants settled in different parts
of Syria where they mixed with the native
tribes, adopting their language and religion
The spoken tongue at the north was Aro-
maic; at the south it was a mixture be-
tween Phoenician and Canaan. Eventually
the pure Phoenician dialect was adopted at
least to the extent of the priesthood and
the court, when it became known as He
brew.

the Exodus about 1920. But it is now known
that Moses was a myth, a personifcat ion
of the Egyptian god Bacchus, and that the
star of the Exodus is a romance simple and
pure-all a fiction. (See my writings on
the origin and language of the Hebrews,
and the story of Moses and the Exodus.)
These 95 books of the Old Testament
came from oral tradition. In time the Le-
vtical priesthood commenced to reduce this
tradition to writing. This writing, from it's
commencement to its final close runs over
a period of about 900 years, during which
the writings went through the hands OF
numerous copyists, editors and others, who
dealt a free hand with them, striking out
changing and ENGRAVING on them their own
notions
When the original work was done, it was
one continuous narrative, embracing numer-
Gus subjects, but not name, time or
place appeared to show who were it's wrI-
tiers. In short, this was the universal
practice, not only with the Old Testament,
but with the New Testament When the
task of dividing these writings into books
became a necessity, a prodigious task was
in store for the workers. They did not
know what to do or how to do it.
AS far as they were able they selected
what seemed to them to be matters most
homogeneous for each book; but the task
was too much for them, as will be seen by
the work of the Higher Criticism, which has
disembowled the whole fabric until there Is
no longer semblance of intestines stom-
ach or other digestive apparatus in the
whole book. They have found the writings
Of different men all mixed up until the whole

mate terms with the priesthood.

trembling man believes in the divine in
tervention of the heavenly powers, so long
will the world swarm with devotees.
Could early man have foreseen that Ma
ture is one stupendous whole; that her laws
are supreme and Interchangeable; that no
wish, act or thought of man can in the
slightest degree, modify or change them,
the world would never have been cursed
with a religion. Thus it will be seen that
ignorance of Nature and her laws is the
parent of all religions. AS most of the
human race have ever BEEN not only ig-
norant of nature and her laws but stupidity
ignorant of nearly all else, they have at all
times been the tools, votaries and dupes OF
a priesthood.
Source of the Priesthood.
Under different names the world, from
the remotest antiquity, has been cursed
with priesthood. which grew up as will
now more fully appear, not from any
knowledge superior to the herd, but out
of the many. The priests possessed an
instructive cunning superior to their fell
lows. BY the use of this faculty they in
gratiated themselves into the confidence OF
the masses and thereby made them believe
they had the ear of the gods, and so could
procure special favors for their clients
From this faculty of skill they have at all
times succeeded in securing a fine living
from their dupes. over whom they have
ever been most successful in keeping their
clientag in ignorance and their clerical
feed trough full of delicacies
The priest, in point of ability, has never
risen above an intuitionist. a glib speaker,
entertaining his flock with emotional APP
peals to his gods, or god with whom he
seems on the most intimate terms, know
ing all their secrets, wants and desires
The less ability priest has the greater

the Levitical prizes hood resorted to their
usual tactics of securing a special tribal

strong attachment for Adonia. To accom-
