The commission, consisting OF the Sec
Wetmore, and Congressman Mccall has
decided 10 place both of the naval statues
in Franklin Square.
They are being made in New York by
the famous artist, Mr.. Nehaus, and will
be completed by March /. Congress APP
propriated $4,000 for the statue of John
Paul Jones and a like sum for that OF
John Barry.
In front Of the new Union Station will
be a heroic statue of Columbus in an
immense canopy OF marble and behind a
gigantic fountain, with a niche on each
side for 0cnaller statues.
Franklin Square Selected.
The A. o. H., which had a hearing be-
fore the commission. were anxious 10
place the two cOmmOdores in these inches.
but as second choice. they agree 10 a
place in Franklin Square. An effort was
made some time ago TO place the statue
Of John Paul Jones in the observatory
grounds, In line with Massachusetts ave
nue., but this did not meet with the APP
proval OF the entire commission.
There is always an objection 10 plac-
ing two statues together for the reason
that the one kills tie other Such has
been the fad Of artists.
The statue Of jackson was much ad-
mired, especially in Europe, when II was
new But since the erection Of the
beautiful monuments Of Rochambeau and
Lafayette in the same square. Jackson
statue has suffered, and the two new
ones are also sufferers.
About 1892 the statue OF Washington,
by Greenough. made in Florence. was
brought TO the navy yard. A war vessel
had been sent 10 Italy TO bring IL, but
when il was found she must take out
her decks 10 get it into her hold, it was
determined TO send Il in merchant ship.
When il arrived il was found there was
no derrick to hoist il out. and there was
delay until the derrics, pair Of shear
legs. could be built
The Washington statue.
The statue was landed and skidded
through the streets and blocked and
pushed up the east steps of the Capitol
10 the door OF the rotunda, for Congress
had had it expressly built for a position
in the center Of the rotunda. But II
was found it could not be gotten through
the door, and that IL would endanger the
walls 10 enlarge the door The statue
stood there until Congress met. when il
was decided to move it to a position on
the ground east OF the building until
means could be devised 70 get il into
the rotunds. There il remained until re-
Gently. when II was determined TO place
II n the Smithsonian Institution. In the
meantime, the statue Of another Presi-
dent has been installed in the rotunda.

orders are obeyed by the followers just the same,
matter in what manner they are issued The temper
ance advocates are doubt highly pleased with this
command of the Mormon authorities, but they know
as every one else does that it nsures local option in
Idaho and wherever the Mormon vote controls.
Nothing can prevent local option in Idaho, except
the practically united opposition of nonMormons
This political command of the Mormon church
thortes furnishes striking object lesson, which the
non Mormons of the state must heed. In this
case the moral sentiment of the state agrees with
them In their polygamist living and defiance of
law and in their absolute exercise of political control
over their followers in all things, the moral sentiment
of the state is against them. The close union of
church and state the unAmerican and dangerous
power exercised by the hierarchy is fully exempled
by this command to vote for local option, and it
not be excused, palliated tolerated by the Amer
lean citizenship of the state country, matter
how meritorious may be in this particular instance
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-04-18
By Order of the Church.

Those who have demanded proof that the Mormon
church political organization and controls its fol-
lowers absolutely in political matters, certainly have
been furnished with the proof,
President Joseph F. Smith opened the conference
of the church at Salt Lake City, in the following Ian
guage "There is a movement throughout the land
for local option and I hold that every Latter Day
Saint will cooperate with the movement in order
that we may curtai1 this monster, ntemperance"
The apostles and other church authorities spoke in
the vein
Methodists, Presbyterian, Espiscopalian and other
high church officials have spoken in the same vein
for years, yet the members of these churches have
continued to vote as they individually thought best
Local option is political question: and can only be
secured by political action Every comedies that
Mornons everywhere will now vote for local option
The command has been given by the church author
tiles and is binding In this particular case the
church has spoken publicly and without the usual
evasion which characerzes their utterances Usually
one can put several constructions their language
but in this instance the command is plain and
mStakable.
1t is bold political move The church joins in
movement which has the sanction and earnest support
of moral men and women in order to distract the
attention of these same moral men and women from
the greater mmoralities practiced, taught and
couraged by them AS a rule the church issues its
orders to its followers as to how and for what they
shall VOTE secretly and through the bishops. Their

action of the legislature "derehction OF duty
The Nampa paper, then, does not come under the
criticism complained of and it may be expected
to favor the enactment of a primary election law by
the next legislature.
When The Scimtar said "1nost of the Republican
papers" it evidently did not mean the Leader-Herald
which is now disposed to charge unfarness on the
part of this paper.
It's favor for the law will help in the procurement
of the law and if it renders its assistance, 1t will
probably find itself in antagonsm to the machine.
1t is part of the history of the growth of the prl-
airy system in the states that have adopted it that
it encounters the opposition of the party organiza
tons that have assumed the role of party dctaors,
and any organization within dominant party will
become a dictator after experiencing few years of
success at the polls
Assumption of power by such party organizations
gave birth to the primary election idea and though
the system is an expensive and rather cumbersome
one voting units within political parties are willing
to accept it that they may participate in the govern
ing affairs of communities and commonwealth
An illustration is the Brady case, of Idaho. 1t is
not to be presumed that Mr.. Brady could have made
himself certain of the nomination for Governor on
the Republican ticket months in advance of the con-
vention if he had not perfect machine under his
control
Control of perfect machine IS not evidence that
he is the choice of the voters of his party. Nor
can it thereby be said that he is not the choice
There has been, and will be, no test But if major
ity of the votes of his party had been cast in his
favor he would know that he the choice and
he would have to prepare to accept, election
day. unwilling votes cast for him to prevent the
election of a Democrat.
The Scimtar is grati6ed to observe that the
Nampa Leader-Herald is going to pull straight and
strong in the harness for the enactment of primary
election law. 1t likes to agree with progressive
sentiment whether it is represented by Republi-
can or a Democrat, or any kind of politician.

The Nampa Leader Herald excerpts itself from the

The Unemployed.

Out of convention of delegates representing tens
of thousands of unemployed workingmen comes John
Ellis, of Boston, with proposition for the con-
sideration of the President and Congress. He urges
an appropriation of $1O0OOOOOO to be expended upon
the improvement of rivers and harbors that the idle
men of the Nation may be given work and wages for
the relief of their suffering families.
The project would be practicable if enterprises of
that character were ready for toilers, could be
made ready within reasonable time. But such
appropriation could not furnish the immediate relief
demanded for there would necessarily intervene
considerable period of preparation before wage
ers could be given employment.
The convention calls attention once more to the
prosraton that has afflicted the country since the
panic of October last.
The depression is following the usual course of
such visitations in imposing hardship the wage
earning class Industries languish everywhere and
hundreds of thousands of unemployed appeal to the
law makers of the country for legislation that will
prevent the periodical calamities that change pros
perty into distress between two days.
All the response that has been vouchsafed is the
partial enactment of bill to improve the fortunes
of the men responsible for the panic. 1t is grim
travesy on the rights of the people that the Inter
ests are making use of their wretchedness to slim
ulate favor for that piece of legislation.
From the advertising bureau that is always in
mission under the auspices of predatory wealth has
been sent about all the newspapers of the country
a fragment of news" dated at Washington which
that unexpected support is being extended to the
Aldrich bill by leading representatives of organized
labor it being the purpose to influence public senti-
ment in behalf of a that will make times
harder for the wage earners, if it has any economic
effect.
To each newspaper that publishes the item the
bureau sends one dollar to meet the expenses con-
nected with its publication. This is the sowing OF
the seed for the harvest of the by and by
The administration at Washington is seriously
concerned the situation, for it might easily re-
suit in the defeat Of the party that has long boosted
of its ability to maintain prosperous conditions when
it is entrusted with the management of the govern
ment.
Great population centers report more idle men than
during the most discouragng days of the panic OF
1898, when the Democratic party charged with
the ills that beset the nation The hoped for reviv-
al of business does not with the opening OF
Spring and there is prospect that hard times
will go with the voter to the polls next November.
