wakinR the BABY.

A mother pacing the door Of q room
adjoining the nursery where lay her
sleeping babe was driven to the verge
Of frenzy BY sudden and all but horri.
flying news that momentarily dethroned
her reason. The strain unless arrested
would, it seemed. completely wreck a
fine mind, and yet the news was but
half true. and the most alarming part
was untrue. Then a woman caller,
experienced in the psychology Of moth,

argument Is required to demonstrate
that this country has passed through
an ordeal that threatened to paralyze
all forms Of activity. The public was
stunned, and although there have been
lookouts to say that the alarm and
anxiety were needless, the aftermath
Of the disturbance is developing growth
every day. And the monitors who
would speak the word to charm away
the spell do so with dlscordant voices.
Some say the trouble was due to
scarcity Of currency, others that the
stability Of the banks of deposit was
questioned and people rushed for their
money, thus creating the very evil they
feared On the one hand we are told
that boarding tied up the money and
on the other that we have been scatter

THE MORMON DECISION

In another column the Press pub
fishes the important points of the re-
cent supreme court decision on the
Mormon question, as brought out in
the case involving the right of Judge
Bulge to hold office under the con-
stitution. While the decision goes
beyond what was demanded in the
review of the case, and settles other
points, It 10 most important from the
fact that 1t makes the provisions OF
the constitution self-executing and
prohibits any one coming within the
inhibited provisions from exercising
the right of franchise or holding Of
hce. II at the same time makes the
provisions practically imperative by
deciding that the state can deal only
with things terrestrial, and not with
things celestial, which leaves an
opening for the polygamists to escape
punishment. As we view the deci-
sion, II person marries but one wife
under the laws of the state, he may
be sealed in marriage to any number
for the future life under the laws
of the church, and 1t is no vio-
lation OF the constitution, providing
he does not live with them or recog-
nize them as wives for this life.
However, there are a number OF
points involved in the decision which
complIcate II in such a manner as to
make It uncertain Just what is meant
and we see no gain in the way OF put
ting stop to polygamy and kindred
crimes, because plural marriages will
be termed celestial or patriarchal and
the claim will be made that these are
purely religious preparations for the
future life. Under these conditions
the decision makes conviction almost
impossible. The decision is worthy
Of careful study and consideration by
those who are opposed to the crimes
practIced BY the Mormon church,
both religious aud political.

poses TO place the details Of manage.
ment In the hands Of a commission.
The state railways OF italy have a
mileage OF 1900 miles and comprise
the more important lines OF travel in
the kingdom. OF recent years labor
troubles have complicated the manage
ment Of all the railroads In Italy, and
the direct supervision Of the lines will
remain under the minister Of labor
who win choose the commission and
name its presiding officer, In England
the most strenuous voice heard In "a.
vor OF the naturalization OF railways
Is the voice Of the Labor party.
Recent events at home have shown
the people of this country what q
complicated problem the railroads pre-
sent. The experience Of foreign coun.
tries Is sometimes cited as an argu-
ment for the state ownership of rail-
ways. and the fact is that the United
States has greater mileage than all
Europe combined Within the past
two years more miles Of railway have
been constructed here than the whole
Of Italy. both in government and pri
vate lines, possesses, Great Britain has
only about one-tenth Of the total mile,

TROY, Idaho, March 3O.-Engi-
neer Perkins, who has been running
engine No. So on the Kendrick hill
for several days, fell from his cab at
the bridge about two miles below
Troy last evening and sustained in
juries from which he died shortly
after being brought in this city. In
what manner the accident came about
is not known and his absence from
the cab was not noticed until the
train approached Clydes Spur, when
Fireman McGrath, speeding the en-
CINE, stepped across to the engineers
side of the cab and found it empty.
McGrath stopped the train and no
titled the crew. Perkins was discov-
cred at the side of the track nearly
two miles back. He had apparently
leaned too far out of the cab in pass
ing the bridge and was struck by the
impact. The body was taken to Mos
COW, where an inquest will be held.
Perkins had been employed by the
Northern Pacific for about three
years and was married.
