THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

Yet the present hypocrites of the Mormon high
priesthood attempt to utilize the puerile mposture as
proof of prophetic inspiration in the greatest hum
bug the world has produced in recent times. But
even the Mormon people themselves are beginning
to wink the other eye" whenever the imposition IS
served up to them strengthened of their faith
for the simple that continued publicity of facts
is exposing to them the supreme humbuggery under
which they have been caught.
Following the last quotation from the revelation
the relating to the destruction of all the nations
of earth, the following closing paragraphs in
terestng chiefly because they can nothing:
That the cry of the saints and the blood of the
saints shall cease to come up into the of the
Lord of Sabaoth from the earth to be avenged of
their enemies.
Wherefore stand we in holy places and be not
moved until the day of the Lord come; for behold
it cometh quickly saith the Lord Amen.
If any person, Mormon or Gentle saint or sinner,
can say what these two groups of words mean, let
him speak. Putting such utterances into the mouth
of God, pretending that they spoken by Him,
is a travesty on the of His holy word.
Little wonder that there are among the Mormon
people many who have stretched belief to the limit
and are ready to repudiate doctrine that lives only
as excuse for the poygamous practices of its
leaders,

Oil and Gas.

Reports from the Payette (Idaho) oil and gas
field are encouraging Oil and gas have been found
through test we'll and the same indications follow
the drill in the commercial we'll that is being drilled
by the first discoveries. Other companies are begin
ming drill and still others preparing to drill
Soon the territory surrounding the test we'll will
be thronged by searchers after the hidden
of the earth Such is the promise of public senti-
ment and public enthusiasm. The find will prove to
be one of exceedingly great value should oil and gas
exist in commercial quantities.
If it is found there, it probably be found al
most anywhere in the Boise Payete Valley and the
development of an industry of widespread Importance
is possible, if it could be kept of the hands of
the trust which smothers enterprise whenever it
seems necessary.
1t recently shown by testimony procured by
the Government in Of its actions that nnety-nne
per cent of the oil business in Colorado Wyoming
Utah, Montana and New Mexico is controlled by
the Standard Oil Company and it is to be presumed
that the Rockefeller crowd will reach out after any
fields of Importance
Once in the possession of the trust the fields are
worked subjected to enforced id1eness as the in
terests of the trust may dictate.

Anti-Polygamy Amendment.

There IS III Washington an organization called a
reform bureau and recently its secretary Rev. A. O.
Miller, appraised of the presence at Paterson,
New Jersey, of two PROSECUTING Mormon elders, who
seeking converts at the anarchstic headquar-
tiers.
Mr.. Miller addressed the people of Paterson in the
Presbyterian church and told them the society he
represented endeavorng to secure an antipolyg-
amy amendment to the National Constitution That
was the first appearance of cooperation in the East
States with the efforts of the Gentiles of the
mountain States to encompass the death of polygamy
through Federal Intervention, excepting that Mr.
Burrows has introduced in the United States Senate
a resolution for amendment to the Constitution
having that object in view.
If the churches of the East its various societies and
the other moral people, would enlist in the cause as
earnestly have Mr.. Miller and his reform bureau
they would materially strengthen the hand of the
promoters of the amendment
1t is no idle fear that Senate that seated Reed
Smoot, through an agreement that all Mormons shall
vote the Republican ticket, will refuse to pass the
Burrows amendment, for the Mormon allies of the
Republican party do not want it passed.
Mr.. Miller, the reverend orator at Paterson, said
he in Utah couple of years ago and while there
he was informed that prosecuting attorneys
would not prosecute high Mormon officials and uries
would not convict them He might have truthfully
added that whether the Mormons were high or low,
prosecuting officers refused to prosecute and uries
refused to convict for ofenses against morality
Therefore Mr.. Miller urged the adoption of the
amendment, saying:
When we get an amendment to the National Con-
st1tutlon against polygamy then we can take those
high Mormon officials out of the local courts of Utah
and try them before the United States District
courts. Then we will be able to convict every man
that is guilty of poygamy and send him to the peni-
tertiary year for each wife and child that he has,
and that will break up poygamy in the United
States, and know of nothing else that will Nor
nonlsm fears this more than anything else that has
been attempted.
Senator Reed Smoot has argued against this pro-
'osed amendment outside of the Senate, the North
American Review opening its columns to his un-
truthful uterances. He will argue against it in the
senate Gf it ever reaches place where any argu-
nent is necessary and his Republican associates are

The Lumberjack- New Version.

The name "lumberjack" is great
ly abused by many people who
should know better. Lumber]acks
can be found in large numbers in
every town in the northern part
of the state and some of them are
among our best citizens. In the
camps during the winter season
you will find farmers and their
sons, men who have large families
living in the cities. and sometimes
you will find professional men and
mechanics.
When the manufacturing plants
in the northern towns close down
during the winter season the en-
ployes of these plants 60 to the
woods and become lumberjacks.
If you will visit one of the camps
you will find a gentlemanly lot of
men. You will End that the ut
most harmony prevails in the
crew. You will see one man help
ing another in different ways. In
the evening, after hard days
work, you will see men writing
letters to their loved ones at home,
others reading, others talking on
the topics of the day. And talk
ing intelligently, too 1t is true
you will find in some of the crews
men who are lacking in character
and intelligence, but such men
can be found in our best regulated
cities throughout the civilized
world.
Make a canvass Of the northern
town-Stevens Point, Grand Rap
ids, .Wausau, Merrill, Tomshawk
and Rh1neIander, and you will End
that thirds of the business
men gin these places have been
lumberjacks, not bit better than

Fear Jack London is Lost in the Pacific.

The editors of WoMAN's HOME
COMPANION, for whom Jack Lon
don is sailing around the world in
his little boat Shark, state that he
is now over a month due at Tahiti
of the Society Islands, for which
place he sailed from Hilo, Hawaii,
on October 57th.
The gas engine with which the
Snaak is equipped was not work
ing we'll when Mr.. London left
Hawaii, and it is supposed by his
publishers that he has experienced
some more trouble with it, or that
he has encountered the doldrums
of the Pacific, by which the little
forty-hve-foot boat might be buff
feted about for days or weeks, to
be dropped at length into a sea
dead calm. For such are the
equatorial doldrums.
London sailed from San Fran
cisco on May 4th and reached Ha'
waii about a month later. He is
accompanied on his voyage arounc
the world by his wife, a captain
an engineer, one sailor and two
Japanese servants. London ex.
poets to spend seven years on his
voyage ard to sail completely a
round the world, stopping at In
teresting places wherever he goes.
