brother who delivered the opening

The general sentiment seems to he
that there can be no cooperation be-
tween. any truly American party In
Idaho and the Dubois following, as
long as Dubois insists on making
war upon church under the
cover Of politics" Democrats and Re-
publicans alike, true to the principles
of the early standard bearers OF those
parties demand not only that the con-
tcst between the parties be kept with
in the legitimate political boundaries.
but also that the bitterness and hatred
10 religious battles fought by
bigots be eliminated. The real prob
lem in Idaho, as in Utah. is not
"Mornonism," but anti-"Mormonism."
1t is anti "Mormonism" that has been
injected into the political discussion
by agitators who hope TO climb to
heaven on that frail beanstalk. Lot
an EFFORT be made to eliminate anti
''Mormonism" from politics, for when
that is done there is no problem in
Idaho. nor in Utah. except such as are
found in other states. American
citizens could well afford to cooperate
in putting down and consigning anti
"Mornonism" to its last resting place.
That would mean peace on earth ana
good will toward men.

slow-going Britain does not entirely
escape this new scourge, but her pro-
portion OF hutomoblling accidents seems
to be far less than ours.
Consul Walter c. Hanm. a; Hull,

accidents and prosecutions occurring
in Great Britain in April OF this year
and compares Il with April OF 1907 It
viii be seen that in every instance but
one there has bean a large increase,
the figures ar the same month IN tho
respective years being as follows:
The accidents numbered IS and %

respectively: 'be persons killed. l6 and

jured persons were subsequently,
awarded damages, and In ten cases the
drivers were fined. There were four
more Instances Of cars running away
after causing accidents. The Con-
sui says the British public IS becoming
concerned over the increasing number
OF these accidents, 1t Is probable that
stricter laws governing the running
OF motor cars will be passed In the
near future. intended TO lessen, IL not
entirely prevent, such accidents.
We suspect that Americans show a
greater tendency to reclSlessness than
do the mass of the drivers in European
countries. The form OF mental aber-
ration developing among the owners Of
automobiles seems to require a some
what heroic treatment. Human life io

SPENT BULLET
D E S T ROY S
BOYS EYE
Boy Standing in Room o.
His House Victim Of
Reckless Shooting.

Sebastino Iffolio, II years old, of 4s0
Chester avenue, was shot in the left
cheek last night as the boy was stand
ing by table in the dining room of
his home. The shooting is believed an
accident. though due to carelessness.
The boy was taken to the City Hos
pital. where it was said today that
while he was not in serious condition,
yet it was likely he might lose the
power of sight in his left eye, as the
bullet grazed the eye and injured it 50
badly that 1t is thought it cannot be
saved.
This is not the first time that people
living in the northerly section of the
city have been affected by indiscrimi-
nate shooting by miscreants.
Men from. the Fifth Precinct, as we'll
as from police headquarters, are maxi
ing an investigation of the shooting.
A most careful investigation of the
case is to be made, so that if it is
finally determined that the shooting
was accidental, the criminal careless
ness of those responsible may not go
unpunished.
Detective Sergeant Meehan, of head
quarters. was sent to investigate and
found considerable difficulty, as the
parents of the lad and others would not
talk.
AS the large pane Of glass through
which the bullet went was smashed, in
dicating that the direct force of the
bullet was spent.

oring to prevent a man, who gave his
name as Edward Walker, of 537 Wa
bash avenue, Chicago, from leaping
from the Brooklyn bridge late last
night. Patrolman Robert Fitzgerald
was knocked from the overhead iron
work by the pole of a passing trolley

arrested the would-be suicide as he
was about to jump over the railing.
Fitzgerald saw Walker crawl from
the promenade across the ironwork
over the trolley tracks and started to
follow him. He had reached the edge
of the ironwork when the pole of a
trolley car passing below struck him
and caused him to fall backward
through the trestle work into the river,
$50 feet below.
A policeman on the roadway below
ran up and caught Walker as he was
preparing to dive into the river. Walker
was charged with attempted suicide.
He is about q years Of age.

So Contends Counsel for
Ousted Jersey City
Officials.
GIVEN A HEARING HERE
j. Merit Lane, in Arguing Before
Supreme Court Commissioners,
Declares Act Is Unc0nsti.
tutional and Applies Only
to First Class Cities.

Argument was heard before Justices
Hendrickson, Swayze and Trenchard,
sitting in the Supreme Court branch,
today by counsel retained in the pro-
ceedings growing out of the attack on
the ripper bill,' which was passed
by the last Legislature to oust from
office on January last the appointees
of Mayor Mark M. Fagan. who would
otherwise have held over for a year or
more. The act provided that their
terms end with that of the Mayor.
The decision of the court will affect
large number of New Idea Repub-
licans who were compelled TO walk
the plank" in Jersey City last New
Years day. when Mayor H. Otto Witt
penn took Office.
]. Merritt Lane. on behalf of the
ousted officials, began quo warranto
proceedings in the Supreme Court, and
he was the first to present the argu-
ment in court today.
The ousted officials are confident OF
being returned to office. their hopes be-
ing based on decision given by the
Supreme Court in a like case.
In the course of his argument Mr.
Lane made the following points:
First, that the act is special legisla.
tion, within the prohibition of para.
graph IL, of section 7, of article 4. Of
| the constitution of the State of New
Jersey, because the attempted classiii
| cation is illusory.
"Sccond, that the limitation of the &C
to tirst-class cities is illegal.
Third, that the limitation of the act
to appointive officers is Illegal.
Fourth, that the title of the act is
defective"
The lawyer cited many decisions and
many precedents in backing up the
various points.
Charles l.. Corbin and William d
Edwards were on hand, ready to oppose
the argument. Warren r. Dixon, cor
poration counsel of Jersey City, was
another of the lawyers on hand tc
oppose the proceedings.
Mr.. Lane, in discussing the point that
the limitation of the act to first-class
cites is illegal, said that it affects only
first-class cities, and its object is to
make the terms of officers appointed by
the mayor run concurrent with the
term of the appointing mayor"
'fI the statute has any object at all, y
he held, 'it is to throw upon the ap-
pointing power all responsibility of the
administration on local affairs. 1t is
to allow a new administration coming
into power to be seconded by its own
aynnlovees sn that il NAV begin with a
clean slate
