he represents. 1t will be powerful argument be-
cause it will reach willing ears.
The personality and sublime courage and I'M
sullied character of Mr. Bryan in every phase OF
life will be most potent now when there is strv-
ing for higher and better ideals everywhere. Then
again. the nepotism, the extravaganza, the blcker-
ings the utter contempt for the people shown by
the State administration will be fruitful theme
on the stump. 1t will be hard for the Republican
orators to answer the plain recital by the Demo
Gratis of the broken platform pledges of the Re
publican party by the Republican Legislature. The
Democrats will have the great strength of Bryan
and his policies on which to appeal to the voters
nationally
They can point out most effectively the utter
failure of the Republican party in the State and
Legislature to meet the most reasonable wishes of
the people, to keep their pledges to them
Of more concern, and much more potent locally,
is the demand by the Democratic party that all
the people of the State shall live up to the const-
tuition of the State The Republican party is in
open alliance with the Mormon church, by the
terms of which the Mormons shall be protected in
their violation of the constitution of the State The
Democratic party demands that cfe,t We legislation
for carrying out the provisions of the constitution
shall be enacted and enforced in regard to po1yga-
nous living, voting and holding office
By maintaining the high vantage ground now oc-
cuped by the Idaho Democracy and taking adj
vantage Of the weakness of the Republicans, the
Democrats should carry the State. But even though
they fail there will be victory even in defeat, for
their contention is worthy

Giving Attention to Idaho.

The official organ of the Mormon church. the
Deseret News, published at Salt Lake City, under
direct control of the hierarchy, is expanding some
of its attention upon the state and the people of Ida
no. In its issue of the 18th inst it demanded the
overthrow of the Democratic opponents of po1ygamy
in this state and said:
1t is time for the sane men and women of
all political parties Gin Idaho) to stand UP for
the law of the land and demand that religious and
political issues be kept apart and each settled in
the domain to which each belongs
Thus says the goddess organ of bogus priest
hood to the people of Idaho. The sane men and
women Of the state SO assailed say in return take
your religion out of our government and we will
take politics out of the pretense you call your
religion.
The sane men and women of Idaho are here to
build for themselves and their future and in their
mission of progress they find themselves impeded
at every step by usurping church and whenever
they place themselves on the defensive or assume the
offensive the saints cry out, they are interfering
with our religion"
And now comes this publication of the church
that tempts the wrath of God in every vain parade
of its hypocrital cant and tells the men and women
of Idaho that they must stand up for the law of the
land The Deseret News represents murder, mass
acre. robbery thevery, blasphemy and all the crimes
that the Mosaic law and the law of man forbids-
and it breaches obedience to law to the law abid-
ing people of Idaho.
The Deseret News is operating in concert with
certain Idaho Jack Mormons to whom The Scmitar
has previously referred and, directed by church
machine in another state has opened campaign
for the destruction of the only organized politi-
cal opposition polygamy has in Idaho. The Salt
Lake Tribune says:
Evidences are multiplying that the church is seek
ing to capture the Democratic party in Idaho. 1t
does not need to capture it in Utah, because it
naturally has it; and without the church there is no

don't let her be lonely, for tomorrow

I'll come back"
On the following day earth and sky
seemed blended in perfect harmony
The roses bloomed in splendor. On
the grassy bank they sat, Mary and
Henry, beside the clustering blossoms.
Henry had picked one Of the roses
and lovingly placed it in Mary's hair.
Fair was she then, in all the freshness
of youths bright morning. Tenderly
she placed her hand on Henry's shout
der and with loving, pleading eyes
whispered:
Henry, please don't CO."
Sadly, slowly, he replied: MARY,
must. But watch for me. I'll come
back to YOU"
So they parted on that fateful day,
and the birds sang, the breezes crept
softly by, and the roses scented the
air. But Mary alone on the doorstep
and Henry marching out of the valley
needed them not.
Those were trying days for north
and south. The nations best were
Staying each other in terrible battles.
After Burnside's defeat at the battle
Of Fredericksburg in December, 1862,
there had been a call for more men to
fill the broken ranks, and Henry May
nard had enlisted. Dearly as he loved
Mary Harper, he could not resist the
nations call any longer. At first Mary
pleaded with him. Then she realized
the need and bravely gave her con-
sent, only requesting that they be mar
ried before he went When on that
last day as they sat together by the
roses, though she whispered him to re-
main, she knew he would go-that
above all the sorrow at parting she
wished him to go-wished him the
brave, true soldier OF her dreams.
Thus it was that Henry went, and
Mary came to live with Henry's moth
er-just those two in the little farm
house, for Henry's father had been
killed years back while hauling logs
Prom the wood lot. The sled had over
turned coming down the steep hillside.
Henry's mother had seen it from the
window where she sat knitting and,
calling Henry from the wood shed,
went to his aid. Crushed and bleed
ing, they brought him home just at
the close of the cold winters day, and
be died in half an hour.
After this they had toiled on, Henry
growing stronger and more manly,

TO YOU. wall the old fash
toned red roses bloom in all their
springtime splendor. Here ofttimes
few years ago merry schoolgirls, with
cheeks that matched the glow of the
roses, paused to gather a bouquet for
teachers desk or to place beneath the
flags in the little graveyard on the hill
side on Memorial day. And ofttimes,
too, they paused to listen to the quiet
words of Mrs Maynard, who lived
here alone They wondered at the
sadness of her voice as she said:
Eyes; you are welcome to the roses"
Then sudden hope would light her
face as she added, "When Henry
comes home he'll tidy up the yard
bit and pick a rose for me as he did
once long ago."
After the sun had set and the shad-
ows had crept down the hillside
through the graveyard and filed all the
valley with darkness the lamp was lit
and placed in the window, where its
rays lighted the pathway leading to
the road By the table Mary Maynard
would sit, her hands folded. She was
waiting for Henry.

bride, saying: Mother, here is my

patiently till he seemed to grow quiet,
and finally he slept. Then she knew
the crisis was past.
When he awoke in the morning he
was Hubert Smith no more, but Henry
Maynard, and all the remembrance OF
Mary and home came over him. He
had been wounded in the head at the
battle of Gettysburg. In a seemingly
field until after the battle He was
cared for by farmer and when partly
recovered wandered away, giving no
name. How he reached Australia he
never learned.
His recovery was speedy, and he
fastened to America to find Mary If
possible "Oh, Mary, are you waiting?
Shall see your" he cried. And all
night he paced the steamers deck over
whelmed with love and longing.
On May 80, 1905, Mary sat in the
doorway, looking down the road. Her
hair, once black, was now streaked
with gray. She had been looking at the
roses and thinking Of Henry. "Will he
come today?" An hour later an old
man came slowly up the road and
turned up the pathway to the house.

was Henry, for the face was the face
she saw in her dream.

the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-ROot, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to 60 often through the day,
and TO get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ifty-cent and
One-dollar size bottles. You may have

covery and book that tells all about it,
