A Plan Suggested.

Murray Idaho, Feb %, 19O0.-To the Headquar-
tiers of the Prohibition Party of Idaho. Mr. Chair
man: Believing that the Prohibition party has a
good and hoping to be permitted to render that
cause some assistance the very future prompts
the writing of this letter.
AS the peoples will is the great power that works
any and all reforms and believing that the people of
Idaho if given the opportunity, will condemn the
liquor system and demand its adjustment the fol-
lowing is suggested
Draft resolution this question to the liking
of your party and through your membership or
otherwise present a copy i'll every voting precinct
in the State in time to be acted upon at the pri-
maries by all political parties. This will insure
long, active campaign and any opposition it may
meet be properly measured and located. Hop
ing that the Prohibition party in Idaho will devise
adopt method whereby the voters of other
political parties will be given opportunity ex-
press themselves this very important question,
am with every wish for your success in this
great reform, w. Ashton Taylor

Mr. Hawley urged however that the question at
issue of jurisdiction and that the provisions
of the test oath did not initiate against his con-
tention that jurisdiction did lie in the District
Court.
The constitutional questions involved must be de-
cided by the Supreme Court sooner or later The
attorneys in this representing both sides want
them decided now. Jesse Bulge, brother of Judge
Bulge and presumably representing the Mormons,
urged in his argument that the court settle these
questions now. Judge Richards representing the
Gentles of the state is urgent that the court pass
these constitutional questions The people of
the state want to know whether not the Const-
tuition of the state and especially the constitutional
requirement for voters, is self-executng.
1t may be that the Supreme Court render
decision without touching on these questions, and
keep strictly within its rights Inasmuch, how
ever, as the issue is clearly drawn to de-
termne whether the "test OATH, being part of the
Constitution is in force effect, whether it has
been rendered void by legislative enactment, must
be met and decided sometime it seems to us that the
best interests of all concerned demand that it be
decided possible.
The Scimitar is not making argument to
what decision the Court shall render.
1t does believe however that the court should take
advantage of the opportunity fairly presented to it
in the submitted case, to render a decision the
Constitutional questions involved.

membership as the peer of the most highly moral
member of that body
This missionary labors in Utah. From Arizona
comes the information that "since the famous Smoot
investigation the lines between the Mormon and the
Gentle population more tightly drawn and any
effort to reach them with Gentle influence is stub
bornly resisted by their leaders"
In Salt Lake it has been ascertained that, since
the Senate whitewashed the polygamous cult letter
from the prophet of God has been secretly pro-
claimed at the ward meetings in which it was
promised that a suspended ordinance of the church
would be openly restored to effect. 1t is not
far away conf ecture that reference made to the
revelation of the first prophet of God commanding
po1ygamy which has never been eliminated from the
book of Doctrine and Covenants.
There is an abundance of visible evidence that the
church and its polygamous tendency were greatly
strengthened by the recognition of its peculiar in
stitutions by the Senate of the United States.

Rendered Insane.

From Salt Lake City comes the story of a woman
thirty years of age named Annie Larson, who
has been confined in the state mental hospital at
Provo, Utah, violently insane.
Eight years ago, the account says the demented
woman became the affianced of Mormon of high
standing and when before the altar in the Mormon
temple she ascertaned that the bridegroom expecant
was possessed of two other wives She refused
to consent to the ceremony, but told by the
treat, had gained too much knowledge of the ways
of the church and unless she became the wife of the
man already married. severe punishment would be
visited upon her.
The two wives that preceded her in the matrimon-
ia estate consented to the marriage, it was per-
her way and refused to live with the husband
assigned to her by the rites of the church.
Recently Miss Larson sought in marriage by
Anton Litcher, of Salt Lake, and she told him the
story of the temple and the bond had forced upon
her and he declined to have anything more to do
with her. 1t then that her reason broke down
under the strain of eight years and she became a
hopeless maniac and is confined in an asylum.
This is not of old polygamy, for old polyg-
amy dates backward from 1890 and since 1890 Nor
monsm deceptivey says there have been no plural
marriages with consent of the church. 1t is a
case of polygamy and fragrant one for it has
deprived human being of her mental equipment
and has again exposed the deceptive practices of
the Mormon church.

A Useless Revolt.

There is a revolt against Smoot in Salt Lake,
headed by insurgent Republicans and participated in
by many of the Mormons throughout all of Utah
The Tribune of that city explains:
Little wonder it is that these rebels do not want
Smoot? Through his election to the Senate, which
resulted in the investigation into conditions in Utah.
their wives and daughters have had their cheeks to
crimson with shame over what that inquiry disclosed
and heaped upon the members of the church such
humiliation they will never be able to shake off
until Smoot and Smootism is eliminated from the
politics of the state And in majority of the cot1n-
ties in Utah this rebellion among the churchmen
against Smoot has reached proportions which will
astonish the hierarchy little later.
Still it is believed that the hierarchy will give no
heed to popular sentiment and will refuse to cast
overheard the Jonah of Mormonism. 1t is credited
with intention to continue Mr.. Smoot in the
Senate, where he has been received with strong
evidences of favor by the majority party.

AGAINST JUDGE MOON
John T. RauIstOn Selected By
His Party to Tackle the
Judge.

The Tillman Division of the repub-
lican party held convention in Chat
tanooga Saturday, and everything
passed off tremendously. None of the
Wright division put in an appearance,
and everything went off without hitch.
John L. Raulston, of South Pittsburg,
was unanimously nominated to make
the race for Congress against Judge
Moon, the present incumbent. Mr.
Raulston is vigorous young politician
and has carried the banner of his coun-
ty successfully in the race for repre-
sentative, but now he is up against a
warm job in the task of defeating
Judge Moon who seems to have sup
porters on every hand. Mr.. Raulston
was also elector on his ticket in the
last presidential contest, and put in
some rattling good work. Mr.. Raul
ston will put, as usual, lots of vim in
to his contest, and do his best to OBJ
scure the brilliancy of the Moon. which
now illumines the halls of congress.

NO RECOGNITION

COAL OPERATORS IN ALA
BAMA FIELD RElTERATE
FORMER DECISION.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala Aug. D.
There will be no recognition of the
union in the coal mine operations with
us any more .
The above is the statement that is
reiterated by an official of one of the
larger coal corporations in Alabama.
"The United Mine Workers of Amer
ica ask for nothing but what is reason
able-recognition, which includes a
fair wage and check weighman at all
mines and rules governing mining"
This is the way prominent miner
puts his side of the question.
The eighth week of the strike in the
Alabama coal fields has started and
with soldiers and deputies, besides
special guards in the field, there ap-
pears no adjustment in sight. The
miners have large sum of money at
their disposal and until this exchequer
has been somewhat depleted there is
hardly any hope for settlement of the
troubles in this section.
The operators decline to arbitrate
any question that the miners may
claim are at stake. There will be nc
recognition of the union, is the way
the operators put it bluntly, and from
that decision there appears no appeal.
The governor of the state is remain.
ing right on the scene. He is being
urged to not only call out more of the
troops of the state, but to take more
strenuous action. It is the bushwhack
ing that is hurting, says the people,
who are being worked up because the
strike paralyzes business.
The miners now claim that theil
organization is up to $1,000. many o.
the men brought in to take their plac
es having quit the job and joined thu
union. The operators assert with pos
itiveness that the coal production il

other proposition was for a one year
contract at ten per cent reduction.
