will move Hattiesburg nearer the
gulf because it will cause boats to
come right to our door. 1t will give
reduced freight rates, a thing Hatties-
burg very much needs. 1t will open
up rich country for farming because
the valley of the Pascagoula is as rich
as the famous Mississippi delta.
While Hattiesburg has much to expect
from the Rivers and ,Harbors Con-
gress in its vast undertaking the local
project should not overshadow the
larger effort. Other localities are
expecting much just as we are and
Hattiesburg should be as ready to
help them as they are surely helping

In the other Southern states visited
by Mr.. Fox since he was herein jan
uary have responded literally with
money to help carry on the work and
while Mississippi has not come to the
front in the move as 1t was confident
ly expected she would in the outset,
Hattiesburg was not found wanting
and the response to the appeals Of
Mr.. Fox was an evidence that Hat
tiesburg is not slow to recognize a
good thing and substantiate her con-
fidence by actual results.
The waterways of our country have
been sadly neglected and as the COM
merce Of the land is increasing so
| fast the railroads are not able to
handle it and the streams are coming
back into use not only those that had
formerly been used and abandoned but
others that have been declared navi
gable but never before used, such as
Leaf and Pascagoula except on a
small scale, will be opened and traffic
upon them encouraged. This is 9
great move but one of the grandest
undertaken by our people in many
years. 1t is not secondary even to the
great irrigation movement started IL
1896 for the reclamation of the arit
! lands of the west, and by the way
, Mr.. Fox was also in that fight

similar to the present waterways con
gress was inaugurated.
In comparison with the countries o
Europe our country has done nothing

BASEBALL VS.. LAwMAKlNe.

: "The jackson papers are lucky"
says the Hattiesburg Daily News.
They'd have been swamped with
copy If the legislature had postponed
adjournment until after the baseball
season opened"
Not at ALL If the lawmakers had
tapped over into the baseball season
the jackson papers would have sim
ply dropped the Legislature and turn
ed their undivided attention to the
great American game.
: Baseball is much cleaner sport
than lawmaking, and far less trying
on the nerves. When the political
game is being played around the state
house you have to keep your eye on
the bali all the time, or some fellow
is likely to steal it. Down at League
Park it is different When the ball
Is knocked out of the lot it is forth
with returned by some small boy
who is granted free admission as
recognition of his honesty.
The rooters may have methods
more strenuous than lobbyists, but
each and every rooter is thoroughly
honest in his intentions and never
resorts to feather-footing tactics t
gain his ends.
All in all, we prefer baseball Z

To be YOked to Joseph.

Couer dA1ene Press: recent issue of the Capital
News contained long editorial advising the women
of Idaho to join forces with Joseph Smith, president
of the Mormon church and polygamous father OF 40,
in campaign for local option, the said Joseph hav-
inc had vision that his church should begin cru
SADIE against the rum evil, possibly with the idea
that the wool could be pulled over the eyes OF the
women regarding his hellish polygamous practices
and the immortality of his religious teachings along
these icentious lines. Miss Mormon organ at BOISE
has undertaken the task of yoking the women OF
Idaho I'D with this old poygamist for the purpose OF
deceivng them into the belief that he is really SIN
cere Christian and reformer. We have no idea that
the women of this state so dull as to take this
Mormon bait even though the Capital News has such
a poor opinion of them as believe that they will
GRAB # as a trout takes June fly The Mormons
must hide their polygamy behind something not SO
g11azy if they wish to deceive the women OF this
State. In fact, the proposal of the Capital News
for such an alliance is insult to the womanhood
of the State.

ground but will stand upon its merit as truth.
Gods TRUTH eternal truth, while life and thought and
being last in you"
The doctrine of polygamy Joseph Smith, Jr, said,
was revelation from God. Therefore, po1ygamy
will not fall to the ground For Joseph Smith en-
qulred of the Lord concerning polygamy and re-
ceived this answer:
obey the law which I am about to give unto you ;
for all those who have this law revealed unto them
must obey the same;
For, behold reveal unto you new and ever
lasting covenant and if We abide not that covenant
then We damned; for no one can reject this COW
enant, and be permitted to enter into my glory.
If any espouse virgin, and desire to es-
pouse another and the first give her consent; and if
he espouse second and they virgins, and have
vowed to no other man, then he is justified.
and if he have ten virgins given unto him by
this law, he cannot commit adultery"
"Polygamy is not" thing of the past as is often
declared by Mormon representatives. The president
of the Mormon church declares that the doctrine
of poygamy as revealed to Joseph Smith, Jr, is
Gods eternal truth. The revelation says those to
whom it is revealed must obey be damned.
Po1ygamous practices are doubtless on the in
crease 1t must be so. The doctrine is not merely
matter of belief 1t must be practced. 1t is given
as Goods eternal truth Those who do not obey
it are damned" This official utterance is the most
important made in the conference just closed The
country ought to make note of it.

The Case of Tanner.

Inter Mountain Christian Advocate In January
of this year a charge made against prominent
Mormon that about three years ago he had taken
widow as his fifth plural wife She died January
49, her demise being fastened by the fact that this
man had taken $4,000 of her money to purchase
home in Canada to accommodate a sixth plural whom
he took less than two years ago. The charge mas
never been denied, and as the names OF all parties
concerned were given great publicity with clrcum-
stantial details, there is doubt of its truth we
have not hitherto referred the matter as we wish
ed to see whether the man would be expelled from
the Mormon fold as being 'out of harmony with his
brethren" since it is now claimed that poygamy
is now thing of the past" The annual conference
has come and gone and notice was taken OF the
brothers. crime On the other hand he was EVIL
IDENTIFY justified in it by the following Official ut

ONE OF MANY.

Below we quote verbatim from letter re-
ceived from a gentleman living at Twin Falls,
This is one of many letters which The Scimitar
receives constantly, and those which. come
from Southern Idaho, where the Mormons
live, universally breathe the same sentiment.
We withhold the name of the writer of the
letter:
Twin Falls, Idaho, April 4, 1908.
Idaho Scimitar-Sir: Enclosed please find
personal check for $500, which is due you for
my subscription OF your paper.
l want to congratulate the Idaho Scimitar
for the fight it is making against the 'hellisll'
practice taught by the Mormon hierarchy
have lived in Southern Idaho all my life and
l can truthfully say that the Gentle people of
of this section feel that your paper is the long
wished for medium to convey to the general
public the much hated practices and teachings
of the Mormon church
With best wishes for the success Of your
valuable paper and the cause for viii, it is
working so necessarily, l am, sir.
Yours sincerely,
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-04-25
Why Not Start the Work.

Salt Lake Telegram: Just now some great work
IS going on in the reclamation of arid land. Before
IFS completion it will luxurant homes for mil
lions of people; immense increase to the products
of the soil and to the taxable property of the re-
public And the final result will be that the tax
PAYERS of the country will not be one cent be-
cause the land itself, which was worthless in the
beginning will respond to the miracle of the water
and pay all the bills 1t is old and sound theory
that the Government may assert itself to supply
the INDECENT or the unfortunate with employment
but it is just as sound theory that where it can,
the Government should remove obstacles in the
paths of the people and give their energies their
industry and their brains clear field to work on
1t is this principle that is invoked in reclamation
The Government owns the land and the water. Each
by itself is valueess. But when the water is car
ried to the land then there is at once chemical
change and both become valuable Then the toiler
steps in and says Permit me to till this soil and
use this water and I will return to you all the
money you out with full interest"
In that way what was but repellant desert all
at once becomes fruitful field and the property
of the country is much increased as well is the
area on which food for and animals is pro-
duced. In the same way, across the path of the
settler lie vast stretches of swamp land We do
not see why the same principle does not attach,
why the same means should not be taken to make
an opportunity to work. to become independent
themselves and to make substantial additions to the
fixed wealth of the country.
In judgment Congress has shamefully shirked
its duty in this respect during the present session
Years ago currency to the amount of $346,000,000
declared part of the money issue of the coun-
try and $1OO,OOOOOO in gold set aside guar
antee that this paper should be redeemed in gold
coin Since then the property values of the country
have doubled several times. With the financial crash
last October many industries slowed down and
good many were brought to standstil. That threw
many people out of employment just at season
when they could least afford to be idle We thought
then, think STILL that Immediately upon assemb-
ling Congress should have authorized the issue of
say $4OO0OoOO0 legal tenders, and if it pleased
put aside another 100000 in gold to secure the
ISSUE and taking the money, began to drive the work
which the Government and the nation need and
thus supply the thousands of idle people with work.
1t would not have cost the Government one cent;
it would have been loaded with blessing for the
poor 1t is not too late to put through this leg1sa-
ton and inaugurate the work now. What is Con
gress in session for?
