ings OF the other party, but as
hackers of the intention to remove
cancerous growth from the body
polite, as bearers Of banners of de-
fiance to Mormondom, as supporters
of the movement for the eradication
OF polygamy and the destruction of
priestly government in Idaho.
They devote themselves to the
cause openly and willingly, declar-
ing their purpose to give the state
an American government, an anti
Mormon legislature, even though it
becomes necessary for them to cast
their votes for democrats.
The Scimitar does not need to
remind the people of Idaho that its
best citizens, in their conflict against
the debasing influence that has made
their state a reproach upon the
tongue of decency, have been ex-
posed to the operation of the worst
passion that could be aroused
through an appeal by virtue for re-
lief from the espionage of vice.
The enemy had been compelled
to expose it's hideous front. All the
Vaccinations of the soulless HER
archy that sits enthroned at Salt
Lake City have been made visible
through the shameless efforts of it's
agents here in Idaho. They have
operated in plain sight, having been
smoked from their holes and made

have done has been disgraceful
enough But that they have been

ENFORCE CURRENCY LAW.
National Banks Must Get Into
Line,

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Prepar-
ations are being made by the trea-
sury department for the prompt car
rying into effect OF the various pro-
visions of the new currency law. A
list OF all national banks, arranged
by states, showing the capital and
surplus of each. Is being prepared by
the comptroller of the currency for
use by the secretary's office In CON
nectlon with any applications that
may be received from banks for the
formation of the national currency
associations provided for by the new
law.
Deputy Comptroller ID. r. Kane. in
answer to an inquiry as to what was
being done toward preparing recon-
mendations for amendments to the
national banking laws for submission
TO the national monetary commission,
stated that this matter would be ta-
ken up and carefully considered at
the present time, but as yet nothing
has been done Such amendments
will be recommended as experience
IN the practical administration of the
laws Is necessary.
The national bank act has worked
very satisfactorily and successfully,
Mr.. Kane stated. and no radical
change In the laws Is deemed neces-
sary. There are number of admin
istrative regulations in regard to the
management of banks and the con-
duct OF their business which, 1t is
said. should have the force OF law
In order that the comptroller may
have the power to correct unsatis-
factory conditions and dangerous
practices found to exist In banks
which, while not a violation of the
banking laws, invariably lead to dis
aster.
Although Deputy Comptroller
Kane thought II unwise at present
to so into details. 1t Is well known
that for long time the comptrol-
ler's Office has importuned congress
to make certain changes in the law
which would result In greater secur-
ity, especially to creditors OF banks,
More bank failures, 1t Is said, have
resulted from the excessive or impru-
dent concentration of funds in the
hands OF single or allied interests
than from all other sources combin-
cd. The officials say 1t matters not
so far as the security OF such funds
Is concerned whether the liabilities
consist of direct loans made In ex,
cess OF the limit In violation OF the
statutory restriction. or the discount
OF commercial paper beyond the lin,
It's of prudence and safety but within
statutory authority Realizing the
dangers of such situation endeavol
has been made by Official supervision
of administrative regulation to sup
ply protection to the deposition
which the law does not AFFORD him
by insisting that the aggregate liza
bllities OF any person or of any com
pany, corporation. Arm or allied in
terests for direct loans and discounts
shall be within the limits of pru
dence and safety.

THE MORMON BOLT.
Left Regular Convention With 21G
Delegates.


AS soon as the first vote OF the
Twin Falls democratic convention
showed that the anti-Mormon ele-
ment comprised large majority of
the delegates, the Mormon and Jack
Mormon element organized a pre-
tense of a convention OF their
own, S3 out OF the 29S delegates
participating in the rump Organiza-
ton.
This left 215 delegates in the regu-
lar convention and after the Mormon
and Jack Mormon mob had complet-
ed Its revolutionary demonstration
the 215 members OF the regular CON
vention proceeded in an orderly way
to complete the business of the con-
vention, which was dispatched with
respectful regard for the rules of
deliberative bodies.
1t was complete triumph for the
law-abiding members of the demo-
cratic party and rout for those
members that undertook to commit
the party to open violation of the
constitution of the state in the in
terest of the polygamous indulgences
Of the Mormon church.
The bolt of the Mormons and
Jack-Mormons was not an unlocked

disorder and misrepresentation, al
most anything could have been ex-
pected OF them, for the hierarchy
had become desperate over the GER

gers at Salt Lake. Any attempt tc
seat such a delegation In the national
convention will prove an utter fail,
ure, for the democrats of the nation
are not consorting with the poly
gamists of Idaho. The only dele.
cation that can be recognized is the
regularly elected delegation.
That the bolt at Twin Falls was
pre-arranged is sustained by numer
GUS affdavits in the hands of the
state committee.
