THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

That the man in the north may not charge the
statement that poygamy-new polygamy-iS a grow
ing evil in Idaho to the prejudice of The Scmltar,
the following newspaper extract is submitted 1t
is from Republican newspaper-the Boise States
man of June 1, 1904 That was before the hierarchy
and the Republican party made its alliance. The
Statesman said:
The people demand good faith on the part of the
Mormon church. They insist that promises shall
be kept. There can be nothing but contention
long the church perfdously tramples its solemn
obligations under its feet Look at the conditions
in THIS STATE that have arisen as a result of
the breaking of the promises of the church. There
are SCORES OF POLYGAMIST FAMILIES IN
IDAHO, AND THE NUMBER is CONSTANT
LY INCREASING. No effort is made by the church
to put end to such conditions; the contrary,
it encourages the practice
1t has been impossible to secure the enactment of
legislation for the punishment of those guilty of po
ygamous practices; that has been because the Nor
mon members of the Legislature have opposed such
legislation and succeeded in making such trades that
their wishes have prevailed We have had our
election law emasculated until there is nothing on
the statute books to put the provision of the cons-
tuition into effect which denies the po1ygamist the
right to vote. At every point where the interests
of polygamy are touched, there the right hand of
the church has always been extended through men,
bers holding official POSITIONS to prevent action by
the State.

A New Political Party.

Out OF the independence League organized by Mr..
Hearst in New York and several other States is
to be created political party to be called the Ma
tional party Delegates from thirty-five States to
the number of 1875, met in Chicago last Saturday
and performed the necessary preliminary work
the PRONUNCIATION of declaration of principles that
is to be made the basis of the organization
The proposed new party will enter upon its ca
reer with a membership not to be despised even in
a day of large beginnings. In New York State it
is already something to be reckoned with, for the
independence League has been in campaign and
produced results. It's membership comes from both
the great political parties and it has drawn nearly
the strength from each.
1t is the mission of the new party says the plat
form adopted at Chicago, "to perpetuate the prin-
cples and policies upon which the Nations great
ness has been built" It's slogan is, "the preservation
of American liberty, honesty in elections, oppor-
tunity in business, equality before the law"
The platform favors direct nomination of all can
didates and the popular election of United States
Senators and Judges. The referendum principle is
endorsed 1t is declared that the right to issue
money is inherent in the general Government and
that any additional issues that may be necessary
should come from that source and be loaned to the
banks on sufficient security
Union labor of the right sort is endorsed The
right of trial by jury in contempt cases is insisted
upon The promotion of safety by Federal and State
inspection of railroads is demanded, along with the
abolition of rebates, cheaper railroad rates, appeal
by shippers to the courts to expedite the
ment of and court to review to enforce the
orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The platform calls for the revision of the tariff
for postal savings banks, for Federal aid to road
building, National incorporation laws, strong navy
a ship subsidy and extension of the reserve
naval force. Finally, it favors the construction of
a ship canal to connect the Great Lakes and the
Gulf and the consummation of the irrigation projects
under contemplation
Mr.. Hearst delivered speech in the presence of
the convention in which he pleaded for "a
National party devoted to the old American ideals,
wholly and harmonious1y committed to the princi-
pies of Washington Jefferson Jackson and Lincoln"

Amendment Hung Up.

Quoting the proposed Hansbrough and the pro-
posed Hopkins amendments to the constitution
against the practice of polygamy poygamouS CO.
habitation The Pittsburg Christian Advocate says:
These are both ample in their scope, and either
one of them will be effective. Why there should be
any hesitation delay in the passage of of them
we can not imagine. The country is ready, indeed,
is demanding some such action this. The people
feel keenly the disgrace of this whole Mormon bust
ness, and blush under the shame of Mormon ap-
oste, the representative and apologSt of the whole
system, sitting a Senator of the United States.
The country is deeply Inundated by the situation in
which we have been placed. The purposes of that
institution push into other states than Utah,
and gain political power, we'll understood, and
the people impatient for the putting of all posi-
BILE legal checks and limits the inquities of the
system Of these poygamy stands out most prom
inently. If Congress will pass one of these amend
ments the legislatures of the states will ratify it
they meet and then law may be enacted
by Congress which will put stop to the vile prac-
tees of the president and many of the leaders of
the Mormon Church. Indeed the legislatures of ten
of the states have passed resolutions calling Con-
gress to take immediate steps in this matter.
If we could have the ear of the leaders of the Re-
publican party would suggest that no better pol
itical move could possibly be made than the speedy
passage of such amendment. 1t has been openly
and repeatedly charged that there is league, often
sve and defensive between the leaders of that party
and the leaders of the Mormon Church. and that this
had no little to do with the decision in the Smoot
case; and whether true false, thousands believe
this charge and among them multitude OF good Re-
publicans. If the leaders to pacify and quiet
these people, they do no better than to pass this
amendment 1t would be at once righteous act and
a wise political movement Undoubtedly the country
calls loudly Congress to act and act at once in
this matter.
The sixtieth Congress has been in session nearly
three months and there is no evidence that either of
the resolutions for a constitutional amendment has
been reported out of the Senate committee or that
either has been considered in committee. The SEES
sion will last barely three months longer and meas
yet not out of committee will not reach consd
Grafton unless special effort is made to bring them
before the body of Congress-
Evidently the same influence that operated in be-
half of the retention of his seat by Apostle Smoot
is operating in suppression of the constitutional
mendment he does not want enacted. The christian
newspapers and the christian men and women of the
land can bring influence to bear on Congress that
will offset the influence of the hierarchy, but they will
have to be about it if they accomplish anything.
1t is true that there is alliance beween the
Republican party and the Mormon church. But it
can be overcome

He would then "restore the power of the govern
ment to the people, make their will supreme in the
primaries in the elections, in the control of officers
after they have been elected"
The National party will hold convention after
the Republican and Democratic conventions and
will nominate candidates for President and Vice
President the convention to be called by Mr. Hearst,
chairman of the provisional committee.

900 SOLDIERS UNDER FIRE.
oueessssul Recent Experiments. MAJ
In the German Army.

The use OF dogs for military pur.
poses has proved 30 successful In Ger
many that the dog soldier IL continu-
ally being taught new things. Near
Dresden recently there was test OF
skill which was a great revelation Of
their accomplishments.
Two mocpanies of soldiers separated
. distance of a mile and quarter. one
Of them. supposed to be an outpost in
the face OF an enemy, communicated
for some time by the aid Of dogs
trained to go back and forth. Each
time the distance betweenthe two COM
panies was traversed by the days In
less than two minutes, in spite Of in
tense heat and a great deal Of con-
fusing firing.
The special object of the use OF
these fast dogs is to enable detach-
ments Of inform themselves of the
speed at which the enemy Is approach.
ing, and 80 to maintain a position up
to the last moment practicable.
On the same occasion the cartridge
dogs performed their peculiar duty.
wrich is to supply the troops with
cartridges during rapid fusillade.
Each dog wears kind of pack saddle
which carries 300 cartridges. With
this load he travels up and down the
line Of men, who help themselves to
cartridges as they have need.
As soon as the pack saddle is empty
the dog. at command. makes OF at
full speed to get 1t replenished.
Every one has heard Of the dogs Of
the "pious monks Of st. Bernard"
which are supposed to have sort Of
monopoly of the accomplishment of
serving the wounded and helpless and
calling assistance for them. But the
German military hive dogs trained to
search out and attend the wounded
and call human assistance.
These dogs Of the ambulance corps
are trained to divided duties. Some Of
them. carrying little fash Of water
or restorative. simply sit and bark or
bay near the body Of a fallen man.
Others have been trained to go in
search of assistance and guide a sol.
der Of the ambulance corps.
The trained dogs performed all
these functions very skillfully at the
recent trial near Dresden. 1t Is plain
that the German army. II 1t should be
engaged in another war. would be &C.
companied by a greater number Of
dogs than ever before accompanied an
army on campaign.

It was asserted by Aristotle that no
animal dies near the sea except at the
ebbing of the tide. This idea In some
form or another has been popular for
centuries.
Such a notion. ind, still exists at
Gravesend. An old salt who used to
sit by dying man in an ale house on
the shore Of the Thames told me he
noticed my patient was always worse
at the turn of the tide, and then got
better after the tide had turned. Read
ers of Dickens cannot forget the &C.
count in David Copperfield" Of Mr..
Barkis going out with the tide"
Accordingsto Aristotle and Mr.. Peg
Eotty, 1t il at the ebbing Of the tide
that death always occurs. But at
