Piled and the arrest of all the people who refused
abide by the terms of that constitutional provision
In its action, the party sustained by the high
est authority of the state-the voice of the people
speaking through their organic act.
When a newspaper or an individual says that a
party or the representatives of party go beyond
authority in insisting upon obedience to the plain
commands of the constitution, the newspaper or the
individual invites sedtion-becomes anarchistc.
1t follows the reasonable lead of the state Re-
publican organization when it commanded the vio
1ators of the constitution to and place in Jail
all citizens who undertook to enforce the require
mentS of the constitution.
1t follows the usurping lead of the executive of the
state when he told the law breakers that he would
support their anarchistc interference with the force
at his disposal
1t emulaes the example of the politically depraved
legislature that annulled one of the provisions of
law that the constitution, (Section A. Article g. said
should never be annulled
According to the terms of the constitution, the
legislation providing for the enforcement of the test
oath was irrevocable Yet legislature passed an act
of revocation and the administration agreed to fur
nish the physical force that might be needed to sus-
tain the unlawful legislative action.
Such were the usurpatons of lawless political con-
spirators that the people of Idaho asked to
sustain Part of them have sustained them. Part of
them will continue to sustain them But it is be-
lieved that enough law abiding citizens can be
found to command obedience to laws that were made
applicable to the entire citizenship of Idaho, instead
of a portion only of its citizenship.

1t appears to be necessary for The Sclmtar to re-

to state again that which is easily demonstrate
that the Democratic conventions of Idaho OF 1914 ana
1906 demanded "the determination OF polygamy ana
unlawful cohabitation within the state OF Idaho ana
the complete separation of church and state IN poh
tical affairs" That the Democratic convention Oh
1906 quoted the entire constitutional test oath as
part of its platform, in addition to the foregoing
declaration.

Democratic party of the state has not the authorly

Talked Like a Demagogue.

An Ex-Governor of Ohio by the of Myron
T. Herrick pleads with the people of his state not
to ieopardize the best interests OF the common
wealth by adopting the Bryan plan for safeguarding
the bank deposits of the common people. Mr.. Her
rick is profoundly moved. He says the scheme IS
socialistic-"that it weakens the incentive for IN
dividual action along proper lines"
That is, if the money man has saved, through
industry and economy, for the benefit of his family,
is rendered safe from the consequences of bad bank
ING its owner will deteriorate and lie around IN the
shade and be nothing. To keep man filled with
the real elixir of progress he must be Impoverished
as RAPIDLY as he accumuates, is the logic of Mr.
Herrick's position.
Vet he was once considered wise enough to adj
minister the affairs of a state One would question
that high measure of his wisdom should one con-
c1ude that he was ndulgng in what he believed to be
real argument if one could get away from the I'M
pleasant conviction that he merely doing the
wordv trick of the demagogue
The legislature of Ohio sent for Mr.. Bryan, ask
mo him TO give an elaboration of his plan for the
protection of the deposor from loss in case OF the
failure of bank in which he had placed his money
From pure partisan prejudice, Mr. Herrlck objects
and can think of nothing better than very silly So
cia1istc bugaboo He would rather the people OF
Ohio should suffer financially than be protected by
the philosophy of Mr. Bryan
It is not greatly to be wondered at that Bryan is
gaining all the time while the Herrlcks OF the po-
1itica1 establishment are losing.

Judicially Determined.

One hears a great deal in these days of political
unrest from the wailing members of the Jack Nor
mon band about @an attack upon religion" and about
religious persecution" for men that never con-
sdered an argument exposed themselves to a
principle can utter those few simple words with ex-
IRENE JUNCTION.
Several weeks ago, in defense of its attitude
against sin that the garb of religion, The
Scnitar employed quotations from opinions by the
United States Supreme Court bearing directly upon
the issue under discussion, and all disputants will
acknowledge that there is higher authority among
What was then said is worth repeating Some
of the good people being disturbed by the noise
of the claquers may not have read the interpreta-
tons of the highest judicial tribunal or having read
them may have forgotten their import and purport.
In the case of Davis VS.. Beason, Justice Field,
in delivering the opinion of the United States STU
preme Court, said:
Bigamy and polygamy crimes by the laws of
all civilized and christian countries. They are
crimes by the laws of the United States and they
are crimes by the laws of Idaho They tend to
destroy the purity of the marriage relation to dis
t11rb the peace of families to degrade woman and
to debase man. Few crimes more perncious to
the best interests of society and receive more gen

empton from punishment for such crimes would be

call their advocacy tenet of religion is to offend
the common sense OF mankind
When the Federal Supreme Court says that the
chatterng Jack Mormons of the political rough
house are offending "the sense of mankind
it is advising common sense to give no heed to the
advocates of "pernicous crime"
In the case of the Mormon church VS.. The
United States, Justice Bradley, in delivering the
opinion of the Court said
One pretense for this obstinate is that their
belief in the practice of poygamy the right to in
dulge in it, is religious belief and therefore under
the protection of the Constitutional guarantee OF re-
gious freedom. This is altogether a sophstlcal
plea No doubt the Thuge of India imagined that
their belief in the right of assassination was re-
ligious belief; but their thinking did not make it
So The practice of suffice (being burned on the
dead husbands funeral pile) by the Hindu widows
may have sprung from supposed religious con-
viction. The offering of human sacrifices BY Our
own ancestors in Britain no doubt sanctioned
by an equally conscientious impulse. But no one on
that account would hesitate to brand these prac-
tees now as crimes against society and obnoxious
to condemnation and punishment by the civil author
ity.
The defenders of social purity are thus absoVed
from the charge of religious persecution" OF at
lacking a religion" They encouraged to con-
tinue the conflict against polygamy, in spite OF the
vociferatons of the tories that trying to impress
a fictitious charge upon the public understanding.

of representatives, and electing the
first Republican U. S. Senator
since 1894.
| These are some of the hard facts
that the party management will do
well to have ever present before
their eyes, and to chew upon and
digest at the very commencement
of this campaign. 1t is true they
are not very consoling or pleasant
to contemplate. The same may
be said of a great many other
things in other human affairs. the
consideration and use of which
nevertheless may be of vital con-
cern. In every important and un-
certain enterprise of life the wise
and prudent man while counting
the elements of success will just as
carefully balance against them the
possibilities of failure. In SO do
ing he will be better equipped and
prepared to meet emergencies as
they arise. And the politician,
like the general, is in much better
shape to fight with reasonable as
surance of victory, when he takes
broader view of the field and,
knows the full strength of his fore
es and holds a just estimate of the
strong and weak points of his op-
ponents.
Thus by review of the politi-
cal history of the state it will he
seen, first, that it was not cleanly,
clearly and reliably Republican
for tie first 16 years; that during
that period the Democratic party
elected at one election the only
congressman that the state was
then entitled to; that twice after
that it elected Democratic govern
ors Grant and Adams). Second,
that during the last 16 years
or half of the states existence
it elected one Populist governor
{ (Waite) and three Democratic gov
ernors, Adams, Thomas and Or
monde, and on the face of the re-
turns, and except for the interven-
ton of the Intervention of the
Legislature of 1905, another Dem
ocratic governor (Adams). That
the Democratic party also elected
q. S. Senator that was elected
from 1896 to 1906 when the Re-
publicans elected the present Sen
ator Simon Guggenheim. Thus it
will be seen that during the last
16 years the state has been more
Democratic than Republican.
In considering the political stu
alton of 1906 it must be borne in
mind that the Socialist ticket
headed by Haywood for governor
and the Ben Lindsey ticket great
ly depleted the ranks of the DEM
ocratic party and made Republi-
can victory foregone conclusion.
So that a broad and candid survey
of the political situation during
the last sixteen years gives the
Republican party no great reason
to boast of victories won, and cer-
tainly 10 well assured confidence
of victory this year, except by the
exercise of the most careful, ener-
getic, just and capable manage
ment and proper recognition of
all the constituent elements of the
] party.

The crowning event of the evening
was the address of Rev. w. w. E.
GLADDEN., chaplain of the Oath U. S.

State League. His subject was
"The Demon of Discomfort. -
Starting from the time of Adam, he
passed through ancient history,
through the time of the Pilgrim
Fathers, the American Revolution,
to modern times, citing the strug-
gle of Booker T. Washington who
in the days of his youth, was at
tackled by this "demon of discon-
tent, and sought enlightenment !;
then having received his education,
he was again attacked by the
limp" and becoming dissatisfied
with the condition of his race,
started the school which has become
so wide famed. His advice was that
if we did not have enough of the
demon, get more" During his
address he stated that he had been
in charge of the athletic team OF
the oath U. S. Infantry, which
competed with the teams of all
other regiments and won first place
by one point, from the 9th calvary.
