How Is IT.
Editor Free Press:

i
In looking over the Dubois
Scimitar and other papers thai
sneexe when Dubois takes snuff, 9
stranger coming to Idaho would be
led to believe that there was nc
issue before the people Of this stats
except the Mormon question. In
the issue Of Dubois paper Of April
18th, I find that three.fourths Of
its reading columns contain moth.
ing but tho Mormon ding-dong, Of
which to me at least, appears to be
nauseous. I have read the artic lee
written by Scales, Howe, Culver,
Casady, Vineyard, Parker and
others and l can see no sense OF
reason in dragging in this question
as . stumbling block.
II polygamy is preached or prac-
ticed anywhere in Idaho, why is il
that those self constituted leaders,
who are hypnotized by Dubois, do
not put to prosecution every man
who is committing such crimesP
Do they want to tell Us that the
constitution and laws of Idaho are
dead letters that cannot be upheld
and enforcedP
If Dubois and his followers are
real democrats, do they expect to
perpetuate harmony in the ranks
by abusing men who have always
been democrats, calling them such
names 40 Jack Mormons, Tories
and traitors? Do they assume that
democrats have no right to think
and express their opinions without
first consulting with Mr.. Dubois?
The writer has been CONSTANT
democrat from the days Of Douglas
down to Bryan, speaking in public
during those years in Illinois, Mis-.
souri,, Iowa and Nebraska and does
not take very kindly to any half
hatched democrat who now steps
into the arena and calls him "Jack-
Mormon, Tory" etc. am always
willing to concede to all others the
right to think for themselves and
express those thoughts and / want
no man or number Of men to ut.
lempt to choke me of. believe in
unfolding the constitution Of our
state and the enforcing of all our
criminal laws fairly and imparti-
lily bot l am unwilling to condemn
any man without . fair trial. This
s sound democratic doctrine. ri
bur laws have not sufficient vital.
y to punish crime, let our legisls-
'ors amend or enact laws to cover
he deficiency. Instead of being
'idetrscked upon some outside ie- |
Tue or fad, let 10 ~ democrats,
Unite in peace and harmony, work.

Why should we debate the ques.
ton with Mr.. Casady Of all men?
Four years ago at the democratic
state convention at Lewiston Mr..
Casady az chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions reported to the
convention the platform contain.
ing an anti-polygamy plank-aud
recommended its adoption! What
great light has Mr.. Casady seen in
the interval? Was he sincere then?
Is he insincere nowP The law and
order democrats sustained Mr..
Casady's recommendation. They
stand today where Mr.. Cassidy
stood then, in opposition TO po-
lygamy and church interference in
political affairs. How strange it il
that when anybody mentions these
subjects Mr.. Casady and his Nor
mon sympathizers spring to the
defense of the Mormon church like
a lot Of acrobats. Is it possible
that they sympathize in the Nor.
mon belief in polygamy? Polyga-
my is a doctrine which appeals
naturally to a class Of people who
never stop to think that the
structure of our Christian civil.
cation is reared upon the sanctity
of the marriage relation, the family
and the home.

when the evidence is complete Mr..
Parker will, in his own time and in

SOLO MADE A SENSATION.
5arytone Had Caught the Music, But
Not the Words.

A certain young Unitarian minister

lives in Roxbury, says the Boston Her
aid. and while the two were sitting
around fire and spinning yarns the
minister who Is visiting and who
comes from the west told this: When
I went west first | was In small
town called lie, and in the choir
of my church the village blacksmith
did the noble work of barytone. He
had a voice that could shake noun
tains, and whatever 1t lacked in any
other feature II made up In volume.
He couldn't read music any more than
he could English but he learned tune
very readily. One Sunday We were
to be favored with rev anthem be-
cause it was special OCCASION, and
the barytone had one portion all to
himself Unfortunately he had missed
many of the practices, The anthem
went along excellently until 1t came
to a beautiful part which read: And,
dying, bids US all aspire Here the
rest of the singers stopped short. in
that quick. sudden way that choirs
have. and In the ensuing stiffness
sounded the ponderous tones of the
blacksmith And dying brides are
filled with fire."

RADICAL TAX REFORMS
Only Few Lists Returned Are Legal
Some Not Sworn to.

Montpelier, March 25.-The double
taxation commission, which has been
in session here for the past two days,
has adjourned The work is not entirely
completed and the report to the gov
ernor Is not yet In shape and until
1t is presented to him it will not be
made public.
The members of the commission
refuse to talk for publication, but 1t
is understood that the report will en-
body several radical tax reforms. II
is the general belief here that the
commission will recommend the en-
tire abolition of the system of Offset
for debts owing and readjustment
OF the tax laws; the honest taxation
OF all visible property, both real and
personal, the owner paying on his
equity and the mortgage holder pay
ing on the mortgage where recorded !;
the enactment of stringent laws for
the direction of listers in the per
Torrance OF their duties.
1t is said. that most incredible
condition of affairs has been found in
every county of the state Compare.
lively few lists returned are legal and
many are not even sworn to, and
great inequality exists in the matter
Of appraisals.

Grady said that he wanted a day fixed
for the consideration of the bills. He
said he would agree to any day Ma.

result was next Wednesday. The Per-

San Franclsco's Rat War.

The raid on rats at this time is not
the first of the kind in San Francisco.
In 1852. when the sidewalks in kearny
and Montgomery streets were as UNI
even as the existing walks in Mar
ket street east of Front, and were
made up of dry goods boxes laid In
the mud end to end, some high and
some low, the town was overrun with
rats of all colors-gray, white, brown
and black. At night they would
crawl out of their holes and run along
the uneven walks They were so thick
on the streets during the spring Of the
year named that women were afraid
to go out after nightfall, and the
men who ventured forth on the poor
ly lighted streets often stepped on q
dozen rodents in walking the distance
Of block II was no uncommon thing
to see men with crooked canes on the
sidewalk playing shinney, the rats be
ing used in place Of knurs. In that
way many were killed.

PRESIDENT TELLS
/. CONGRESS WHAT
He WANTS
Special Message Urging New
Legislation
TEMPERATE BUT TO THE POINT
New Employers Liability Law, Mod.
fieation OF Injunction and Other
important Matters.

Berlin, Mar. 25-The German gov.
eminent has informed President Roose
welt that Dr. David Jayne Hill, at
present American minister at The
Hague, is not acceptable to 1t as am.
bassador at Berlin.
Charlemagne Tower, the present am
bassador, declined today to affirm or
deny this statement. He confined him.
self to saying that any question as TO
the action of the German government
must be directed to the state depart
ment at Washington. From other
sources it was learned that the grounds
upon which the government declines
to receive Dr. Hill are in general that
he is not representative enough. The
German foreign Office made inquiries at
The Hague and these brought the re-
port that Mr. Hill had not created
much of position for himself at the
Netherlands court. 1t appears also
that some German officials have made
representations to the court here that
were adverse to him. 1t does not ap-
pear that any of DR.. Hills opinions or
writings are Objectionable to German
feelings, but it would seem that he IS
considered as not suited for this post.
