OF
MR.. S. E. FLEMING
PRESIDENT OF COUNTY coua7
HAS MADE MANY FRIENDS
DURING TERM.


With the FIRST of the coming year
Marion county will lose one Of the
most efficient County Commissioners
that 1t has. ever had when Mr.. s. E..
(Buckey) Fleming retires as president
of the County Court. Mr.. Fleming was
born In Fairmont in 1S4S and has
seen It rise from mere village to its
present position as one of the pros.
porous cities of the State, and being
of liberal views his observations and
assistance have extended beyond tho
city limits. giving him prominent
rank among those VINO have helped
to develop the great resources of the
county. Mr.. Fleming comes from one
Of the pioneer families of this section
and Is years of his early life were
spent as a miner and by an honest
and upright method of living he has
accumulated a comfortable compe.
tence for himself and family and now
owns one of the best farms OF $50
acres in the county near Rivesville.
Mr.. Fleming to-day said he had made
some enemies and many friends dur.
ing his term OF six years as county
commissioner. but he mad in all his
public acts tried to do the fair thing
for the people of the county.
The only recount that was demand.
ed while he was member of the
court has Just been completed and his
uniform franlness and fairness char.
acterized his work in this matter and
it is said to his credit that even those
VINO were not benefited by his deci
sions have no complaint to make by
his decisions.
Some who have known Buckley for
e number of years have formed the
opinion that this appellaion was given
him from the fact that he will mos
invariably 'sbuck'' when he is urged
or requested to a thing that run;
counter to his conscience and many
have seen aim "buck'' like a }bronchc
on such occasions. but the older cit!
zens know that this is rather more
of family distinction rather than
personal title. In the early settlement
of the county two prominent families
of Jennings were among the settlers
and the family to which Buckley" be
longs, that is, his grandfather, VIM
B. Fleming, owned notable pair Of
oxen by the name of Buck and Der
ry" and the old gentleman was styl
ed in the neighborhood as BILLY
Buck" and when the neighbors want
ed to borrow anything, as was very
much the custom in the olden times
they were directed to go to BILLY
Bucks" for it, as he was always will
ing to extend the accommodation tt
his neighbors, and so it is that $
r. inherited the title of Buckley"

either the Idaho republican convention was not in
earnest or Mr.. Taft is not sincerely the enemy of
monopoly as it is personied in the trust and trade
combinations of the country.
The Idaho republican delegation is probably I'M
anmous1y the friend of the trusts, without much
room for doubt Yet it is sailing under an anti
trnst flag. Created and sanctioned and clothed with
nominating power by the great trust that operates
under the name of Jesus Christ, in blasphemous
wav it is going down to Chicago under the pretense
that it endorses the policies of Theodore Roosevelt
Idaho republicanism stands behind the browning
deceit of the campaign for the nomination of
presidential candidate. Mr. Lincoln once said, you
can't fool all the people all the time" There is
reason to presume that the philosophy of his time
has been turned into mockery of the rights of the
governed

All Friends of the Trusts.

There is nothing unfair to the chosen individuals
or to the public in general in mentioning of
the characteristics of the gentlemen upon whom
the confidence of the late republican convention at
Wallace was bestowed. AS the convention did not
reflect the views of the party in its conclusions,
it is perhaps due the party that be given informa
ton upon an obscure subject.

The English of the Platform.

Some of the newspapers of the state except to
The Scimtars criticism of the crude arrangement
of the English employed in the platform adopted by
the late republican convention at Wallace, alleging
that principles will live if they are rather poorly
dressed
This is an affectation of Mormon appreciation, dat
ing from the beginning of the herarchal epoch when
Murray was ignored completely as the more
modern authorities were set aside at Wallace 1t
is not denied that the Wallace platform was
product of Mormon intellect and Mormon education
al training To that portion of The Scnitar Critl-
cism silence gives assent
1t ought perhaps, to have been explained that
the Mormon grammatical style is rather unique, hav-
ing been originated by the first prophet, seer and
reveator Joseph Smith, Jr., and that due respect
for his memory might be preserved, it was proper
that the republican convention should accept his
teachings entire, including creed polygamy and Ian
guage
Joseph Smith, Jr., wrote the Mormon Bible some
seventy years ago and during the intervening years
the authorities of the church have seen fit to make
some 1000 corrections in the grammatical style OF
his inspired efusion, although Joseph averred that
he took it as the Lord gave it to him. There IS
therefore ample time for any change that may be
suggested in the wording of the Wallace platform
to make it conform to the critical taste of the future
Joseph Smiths Bible authenticated by eight
of his contemporary workers-Christan Whit
mer, Jacob Whitmer, Peter Whitmer, Jr. John
Whitmer Hiram Page, Joseph Smith, ST., Hyrum
Smith and Samuel H. Smith. These persons testi-
fed that he translated the work from golden plates,
saying:
And this we bear record with words of sober
ness that the said Smith has shewn unto us, for we
have and hefted, and know of surety that the
said Smith has got the plates of which we have
spoken.
The Scimitar is willing to maintain that the Wal
lace platform is worse in its grammatical con-
struction than the authorization of the Mormon
Bible, which has lived in history while its authors
being transformed into dust and is high author
ity in Mormon circles
1t would ibecome a convention of the cult OF
Joseph to try and improve upon the literary style OF
the cherished associates of the prophet and can be
said without fear of contradiction that the republican
delegates assembled at Wallace knew what they were
about when they bestowed SO marked tribute upon
the memory of the sainted revelator of the heaven
sent doctrine of polygamy.
