CHURCH
SECRET
A POINT AT ISSUE IN PROSECU-
TION OF MORMON CHURCH
PRESIDENT.

The trial of Melvin NJ. Harmon,
leader of the Mormon Settlement at
Laie, for subornation of perjury in
of George KekaEoha and Kalehua for
adultery, is proving of considerable
interest.
This morning Poi Kekauoha. a
brother of George was on the stand
most of this morning. He is under
indictment for perjury in connection
with the case, and has confessed, and
is one of the prosecutions chief wit
.nesses. In his testimony this morning
he stated that he had received a
subpoena as a witness before the
Grand Jury in his brothers case,
about 10 o'clock on the night of the
9th of October last. He had at once,
in company with two others of the
Settlement, gone to Elder HarmOn's
house, aroused him from his bed, and
told him of the summons. They asked
him if the confession of Kalehua OF
her illicit intercourse with George,
made in a church meeting, was a
church secret Harmon had told them
| that it was, and told them to go be-
fore the grand jury and deny the
truth of what they had learned
The prosecution was particular at
| this point to have HarmOn's alleged
instructions, as given by the witness
taken down in the records in Hawaii
an as nearly as possible in the exact
| language used,
w. A. Kinney, for the defense rails
ed various technical objections to this
part of the testimony, holding that
the indictment failed to state that
Harmon knew that Poi Kekauoha
knew that the statement Harmon was
alleged to have told him to make tc
the grand jury was not true.
The case is progressing rather
slowly owing to these technicalities
but Poi is proving a strong witness
against Harmon. The case will pro
badly continue for several days.

Western North Dakota

Change is the order OF the uni
verse. We must press forward or
we must go backward. There was
a time-and a long time at that,
when our friends in the eastern
part of the state believed that
North Dakota meant the little
area of country down in the Red
river valley in the vicinity of
Fargo, Grand Forks and other
points along the boundary line.
They not only believed this but
they injected the idea into people
generally, and the result was that
all of the big men in the state
were slated for all of the big offices
and in turn all the big appropria-
tons and all the big things gener-
ally went to the fellows over Fargo
way and all western North Dakota
ever received was a shrug of the
shoulders and the bare-faced state
ment that there was nothing here
but rock, barren hills and a burnt
out country. AS the years rolled
on settlers poured into western
North Dakota by the train-load;
the country settled up as if by
magic; the pillow was inserted into
the supposed sand hills and 10
the barren waste brought forth a
bountiful harvest so superior in
quality and quantity to that of
the immediate Red river valley
that gradually the eyes of the
world were turned on western
North Dakota and the result is so
apparent that it is hardly neces-
sary to record the facts.
To-day western North Dakota
is recognized as one of the great
est producing and most prosper
Gus sections of the country in the
northwestern states. The eastern
portion of the state has had to
give US recognition. Heretofore
all of the good things have gone
to our eastern brethren. All of
the Normal schools and big insti-
tutions have been planted in a
section of the state that does not
begin to represent what western
North Dakota does today. All Of
the big federal appropriations
have been planted in practically
the same section. Western North
dakota has received practically
nothing up to this time.
But now, we are in a fair way to
come into our rights. All that is
necessary is concerted action.
Western North Dakota can assert
its rights by unaniminity. W.
