To Purchase Delegates.

In last weeks issue of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan
called attention conspicuously to an article in the
New York Herald of the 18th of April which reads
Emissares of the anti Bryan political forces in the
west will arrive in New York this week from Chi
cago to make the financial arrangements necessary
to carry on the fight to prevent the nomination of
the Nebraskan at Denver in July. For weeks it
has been an open secret in the financial district and
among the more prominent conservative demo-
Gratis that the work of obtaining the financial snews
for an anti-Bryan campaign has been in progress
The money raised is to be put into the comparative
ly few Bryan" states in which the democratic ma
chimes are controlled by anti-Bryan men and where
on this account, there is thought to be chance to
take delegates if not delegations away from Bryan
Among these are Michigan and Illinois
What is to be done with the money is the first
enquiry that suggests itself 1t cannot be used for
any legitimate purpose, for all the expense of Sc
curing delegates is provided for The suggestion
that the antBryan emissares hope to secure "dele-
gates, if not delegations" by the use of money
carries with it presumed intention to purchase
delegates delegations.
Hasn't the country had enough of the corruption
of the franchise by the money power? The means it
long ways in proving that the people not without
just against the money power. The people
ought not to be compelled to defend themselves
against the persons referred to by the New York
Herald They should be placed in the custody of
constable.

steps into a cigar store he has to know definitely
that the food which he buys for his family, is tree
from poisonous ingredients.
The same law which surrounds him with security
in the physical realm, should afford him protection
in the moral sphere
Several young boys of Boise were recently over
taken in gambling, against the laws, in side room
of a cigar store. They taken to the police
station and "sweated" as means of obtaining in
formation regarding the character of the place,
which held license to sell tobacco according to
the statement of its sign the door.
Men who will connive at such advantages under
the law, the plan for which is to attract boys to
gamble should be treated by effective laws to re-
strictions or inhbitions which would be severe IN
the extreme and of such bitter consequences as to
afford ample protection to the rising generations
Restrictive laws for the publication of civic cond-
tons should be made uniform, positive and iron
clad Such regulations eliminating moral ethics and
applying only the commercial are far cheaper for
the public than the construction and maintenance
of reformatory institutions where too often the
rivets of lasting criminal career firmly cnched

The Voice of Zion.

When John NJ. Haines, the very capable mayor
of Boise became possessed of ambition to oicate
as the chief executive of Idaho, his was laudable
desire and one say that he ought not to have
striven for it.
But it in the consummation of the scheme
that humiliation came, for Mr.. Hanes had neg
lected to secure permission from the machine. His
working force was a good enough one, consisting
of Chief of Police Francis, Senator Mcmillan Joe
Spegle and Mr.. McReynolds, and when they went
over to Bingham county to interest the Mormons
they attended by fattering prospects, The
saints came around willingly with comforting prom
ises and the Boise man was assured that the county
his beyond preadventure.
But the mail that arrived the day before the
convention was laden with letters from Salt Lake
to the bishops and other mouthpieces of the hi
erarchy and as the postmaster dumped the bag on
the distributing table, he remarked there's your
orders.
Zion had spoken and the Mormon
support Immediately transferred from Mr..
Haines to Mr. Brady and Bingham county did not
start the Boise man on the road to the executive
mansion.

A Case of Polygamy.

Wright departed for Utah last week. expecting to
remain there couple of months
The venerable bishop is already the father of %
children and nine of them belong to Mrs. Wright

ing in open polygamy does not to have attract
ed the attention of stake president Hyde, who says
the church visits the severes penalties upon those
who practice polygamy.
The bishop married his second wife when she was
only sixteen and at that time he had covered half
a century of existence and some of his children were
older than his girl wife. Hers has been a hard ex-
perence and it is to be hoped that the hereafter may
bring to her the reward that is promised the women
of Mormondom as compensation for their sufferings

Protection to the Youth.

Idaho legislatures may, with due propriety, devote
attention to legislation that will serve to dismiss
the possibility of certain lines of business being used
as a blind for gambling
For instance if the laws of the state provide for
licensing the sale of liquors and of cigars, such
regulations should be specifically provided as to pre-
vent the places of sale from being used as gambling
joints
The cigar store has been placed under the ban of
suspicion in this city during the past month, in

law of morality as the law prohibiting adulteration
in foods which state and federal legislation has
recently attempted to regulate
