Elisha, In the amounting Of
Jehu, carried out the commis-
sIOa which had been given to
Elijah over 20 years before.
Thus are we reminded that
Gods plans extend beyond the
lIfe-span Of any one man, and
we also find illustration Of the
words Of Jesus: a sent you to
reap that whereon ye bestowed
no labor; other men labored,
and ye are entered into
their Iabors." Paul was con-
sclous Of how the Divine tran
seended the human when he
wrote to the believers at Cor
lnth: a have planted, ApoIIos
watered; but God gave the IN
crease. SO then neither Is he
that planteth any thing, neither
he that watereth; but God that
glveth the increase"
God reveals his plans only to
those Of his servants who In
faith and patience can wait Gods
time OF fulfilIment.
The wicked house Of Ahab,
and that wlckedest Of wicked
women, Jezebel, the wife Of
Ahab, must have been a griey-
GUS trial to the prophet Elisha.
II must have taken a vast
amount Of the grace Of God and
Of faith to have waited through
those long years for the COM
ing Of the righteous Iudg-
nent 81 God upon such wicked
ness. How often perhaps dur
Ing those years the impatient
impulse must have seized
Elisha 10 90 70 Jehu and tell
him Of Gods plan for him, so
that II would hasten his efforts
to seize the kingdom. But as
often would come the con-
sclousness that man must wait
the fuilness Of Gods time, and
that TO attempt to force the
hand Of God, 40 one might say,
would be TO Invite not only fall
ure, bur shame and dlshcnor.
No, the prophet must patiently
blde Gods time. lie must wait
through the years and slowly
but surely see the wickedness
Of the house Of Ahab come to
its full fruition. Persecution,
trial, famine and the pestiIenee
Of war must be endured. With
the Psalmlst, Elisha could say;
II had tainted, unless ! had be
lleved TO see the goodness Of
the Lord In the land Of the llv-
Inn.5 But az last--there ls al
ways an at last with the Lord
the time comes when God
speaks and the prophet acts.
Then ls that fulfilled concerning
which God had spoken so many,
many years before, and the war
rior Jehu who 90 uneonselously
had been growing and develop.
Ing through the years 70 fit into
Code plans, suddenly flashes
forth as the avenoina hand Of
4 Gods Judgment upon the
s wicked.
Jehu showed a eommendabIe
zeal IN behalf Of moral and re-
Z iIglous reform in israel, but in
: his personal life and conduct he
Z fell short Of the measure Of
; Gods desire for him, as does
many another modern day re-
4 former. II is recorded Of Jehu
that notwithstanding his eour-
) aaeous and energetic crusade
against the great evils that were
eurslng the land Of Israel, he
took no heed to walk in the
3 law Of the Lord God Of Israel,
5 with all his heart" II Is >
3 great thing to be Identified with
s a great reform, but how sad at
3 the last to be shut out from
5 fellowship with the God whom
3 position and ability has en-.
s abled one to serve.

The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-02-01

It's place in the laws of the country and it began IFS
existence with the original enactment offering free
homes to the occupants of the public domain more
than forty years ago. Through its instrumentaity
the west has been populated and developed and it has
been proven and again that the distribution
OF land placed the right basis when the quar-
ter section was declared to be the farm unit
Those now most actively in favor of the enlarge
ment of the homestead belong the class that seeks
the absorption of the remainder of the public domain
by the fewest possible number of people-that op-
poses forest reservatons-hat asks for wide grazing
ranges and greater freedom of access to mineral
lands.
Opposed to this element must be the home builders
and the state builders of the west. The healthful
evolution of the wilderness can best be promoted by
the presence of the small farmer and the comparative
density of population that ensues The states of the
west need people. They cannot thrive on large tracts
in the hands of the few scattered farm houses and
small villages They need as many people as the soil
will support
All efforts to enlarge the farm unit and decrease the
ultimate population deserves the opposition of the
builders of homes and the builders of states and the
representative of the west should stand as unit
in Congress in opposition to palpabe conspiracy
against the future.

Caught In the Crime.

Through some important disclosures made by
Joshua Adams, president of the new board of di-
rectors of the Oneida Irrigation District of Oneida
County, Idaho Stake President Parkinson and Bisl-
op Hart of the Mormon Church. late treasurer and
secretary respectively of the irrigation company,
stand charged by public opinion with embezzlement.
Mr.. Adams says the financial affairs of the irrigation
corporation were investigated by expert who
found that the records of the irrigation district
sisted only of memoranda and notations scraps of
paper and from such data he has constructed set of
books that throw light the situation.
1t found that President Parkinson and Bishop
Hart had been 1oanng corporation money to them
selves and to Others making an accounting in some
dubious personal promissory notes failing alto
gether to account. Bishop Hart was charged with
shortage, or msappropriation approximating $4,000
No specific sum is named in the allegations against
President Parkinson, although the statement made
public shows that he returned to the irrigation dis
trict corporation $4,000 from his personal funds.
Both of these individuals resigned their positions
under STRESS resisting the demand of the directors for
time, but finally yielding to the inevitable and
Tossing their irregularities by stepping down and
In the of Bishop Hart, a complaint filed
charging him with embezzement and the matter was
turned to the prosecuting attorney of Oneida
County, Mr. Davis, member of the Mormon church.
Feeling that the task of ferreting fraud and bring
ing criminal prosecutions was large task, Mr..
Davis secured the services of the prosecuting ator-
ney of Bannock County, George Gray, another Nor

Still Filled With RanCor.

1t has again become necessary to administer public
rebuke to Golfers Weekly, publication that boasts
OF Its conservatism and its inhexib1e fairness Upon
most topics Golfers is commercially sane but when
ever 1t attempts to inform its readers on the sub
Ject OF the recent conspiracy against the life
OF Governor Steuenberg, it exhibits prejudice of the
rancorous type that entrenches upon the line of Jour
naliStc sanity.
In recent issue of Golfers there was an intemper
ate attack on Judge Fremont Wood who presided
over the trials of Haywood and Pettbone and
through Judge Wood upon Bailiff McGinty and Bail
if Pence and Mrs. Pence, the two baiffs being in
charge of the juries and Mrs Pence furnishing them
with food during the trials
The whole miserable mass of Misrepresentation
insinuates, without making direct assertion that one
or both of the uries tampered with by the bail
ifs and prejudced by utterances of Mrs Pence and
the cupabity of Judge Wood is limited at in connec-
ton with the appointment of the bailiffs.
1t is of consequence to the Collier publication
that the impartial fairness of Judge Wood through
out these important trials unquestoned and that
he earned the commentator of both the prosecution
and the defense. Golfers must have its fling as a
sop to the malignant nature it has manifested
in connection with the trials and in its disappointment
the result it yields to indecency of expression
that no self-respecting journal would indulge in.
But Golfers Weekly is not alone in the task of
character defamation without cause. The States
man. of Boise republishes its infamous screed entire
here at the home of the judge and the bailffs and
many of the other parties interested
Golfers may plead that it not fully conscious
of the vindctive character of the libel it uttered The
Statesman cannot seek any such excuse 1t knew
that falsehood permeaed every line of the printed
assault and it reproduced the article with the cold
blooded and entirely nexcusab1e intention of casting
unearned reproached upon citizens of unimpeachable
integrity.
1t is not necessary to dwell upon the infamy of
these two departures from journalistic decency They
will have effect upon the regulations of the parties
assaed while it will be long before these scavengers
of newspaperdom recover from the consequences of
their ndiscreton.
The purveyor of opinion and information must
keep within the lines of honesty if it would enjoy
respect and confidence When it has forfeited
the other both its usefulness departs and its
influence becomes minus quantity. Both Golfers
md the Statesman have injured themselves more
han they have injured the objects of their venomous
ttaCkS.

SPORTING NOTES

of Minnesota had severed football re-
lations with Carlisle. This decision Is
the result of the game Saturday, in
which the Indians were defeated, IL to
6. 1t is charged that the redmen re-
sorted to a Singing game, that the as
sault made on Referee Endsley by
Waseuka was inexcusable and that the
language used by certain members of
the Carlisle team on the field cannot be
condoned.
Since Carlisle has been dropped it is
probable that athletic relations will be
resumed with Michigan and that the
Wolverines, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Chicago will fight for the western foot
ball honors next season.
