THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

ularity. Many of the papers of southeastern Idaho
publish these missionary appointments from time to
time, as they made.
These missionaries go out on Sunday and mid-week
journeys to the school and meeting houses and in
struct the young Mormon people in the Mormon
idea of religious thought" By this systematic plan
of organization among the maturing minds of this
Church" the great organization is maintained This
has been the plan since the whole scheme laid out
by that prince of organizers, Brigham Young
We call attention to few of these stake mission
aries set aside to labor in the vineyard of the Lord
and call attention to the fact that these individual
missionaries stepped in poygamy:
W. G. Hayward, missionary to serve for the
month of May is a doctor He married Iillis
Bulge, daughter of the famous former stake presi-
den, William Bulge, and Ann Bulge, third wife of
William Bulge who a sister-in-law of the present
stake president, J. R. Shepherd.
Bishop Hymas is another missionary to dur
ing May, Four years ago he was nominated for the
Idaho legislature but he forced off the ticket be-
cause he polygamst. The bishop furious
this because the church allowed at the same
time the two-ply polygamist Walter Hoge to run
for sheriff in Bear Lake county, They feared send
ing polygamis to the legislature for the attention
it would attract to his matrimonial relation They
had sort of fear of eecting county officer, who
Il
voters of Bear Lake county, that is with the Nor
mons, this would be a certificate of character and
lend him strength a candidate before these people
William L, Rich is another missionary for the
month of May. He is the present state senator from
Bear Lake County He is one of ffty-two children
of that stake president and former Apostle C. C.
Rich, who the proud husband of five wives.
Senator Rich himself polygamst His
plural wife Miss Holmes, a daughter of Jas.
Holmes, who is the present auditor and recorder
of Bear Lake county. Both his first wife and Miss
Holmes dead and Rich is now married to an
other wife, but is not living his religion" at the
present time.
Arthur Bulge is another missionary for the month
of May. He is son of the former President Bulge
his mother being Lizzie Bulge, Williams second
wife, who died few weeks ago. Arthur is a brother
of Judge Bulge, of the Fifth Judicial District of
Idaho, and the eldest son of the famous president
William Bulge.
MILFORD Rich is another missionary for the month
Of May, and is also member of the famous c. c.
Rich family whose po1ygamous relations have been
50 well known throughout Utah and Idaho for half
century,
Ernest Bramwe is another missionary for the
month of May. He is teacher in the Fielding
academy. He is IN every respect consistent Nor
non. He could not hold his position for day if he
bowed any inclination whatever to teach the students
# Mormon institution any doctrine against poly
amy. He believes the devoted William Bulge
eleved and practced regarding po1ygamy and we
uoe statement reputed to have been made by this
enerable president few years ago: while we re-
rain from teaching poygamy because the law re-
ures believe in it and know that if any one of
lie doctrines of church is wrong this is wrong,
lerefore, this is true of our doctrines are
