gument cannot reach it. The constitution however,
is the fundamental law of our state, and every
citizen is bound by the highest sense of duty to see
that it is enforced
The supreme court of the state of Idaho, composed
entirely of republicans has unanimously rendered
opinion that the constitution of state is self
executing Does the Tribune desire to have the
stitution of state made effective? If so, will it
not join with the democratic party of the state in
enforcing it?
If the Mormons are all that the Tribune and those
who argue along similar lines claim for them, they
can take the constitutional requirement for voting
and holding office the same as the non-Mormon
can; and if they cannot live up to the requirements
of the constitution of the state for voting every
good citizen sou1d insist they shall not be allowed
to exercise this high privilege.
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-05-16

Our answer to the Lewiston Tribune is somewhat
lengthy and doubt will be dismissed with another
ippant and sneering statement that it is not worth
while to further discuss such ''rot" The democratic
party of the state is safe and high ground 1t is
attracting to it the best thinking, the most upright
and honorable among the republicans of the state.
The party does not intend to take one backward
step There is no change of sentiment or determine
ton in the democratic party of the state this ques
ton The party is entitled the support of all who
claim to be democrats 1t has gotten along without
the support of Mormon allies in the past and can
survive if it does not receive it in the immediate
future For every Mormon democrat, however, who
refuses to support the party in its demand that poly
gamous living in Idaho be eradicated and in its in
sisence that the constitution of the state shall be
lived up to, it gains three republican votes
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-05-16

Let us see how the democrats Jared in the last
campaign when they attmpted to uphold this view
The chairman of the democratic state central COM
mittee, over his signature said: 1.-THE democratic
state central committee has undertaken to and will
call to account the polls by way of challenging all
the Mormons whom it is possible to reach by chal-
enges that they may be made to comply with the
spirit and letter of our constitution which is the
fundamental law of the state of Idaho; and with
that part in particular found in section of article
g." (Test oath).
There is ample authority of law for challenging
voters The chairman of the democratic state central
committee was extremely courteous and kept entirely
within the bounds of law and proprety in his letter
to the cha1engers, saying among other things Our
advice to chal1engers in Idaho is that you challenge
any person who offers to vote in your precinct when
you believe such person is not entitled to vote under
the provisions of constitution well as of stat
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-05-16

"That is the constitution; that is higher law
than any statute. The legislature without re-
gard to party line repealed the statute on that
subject They needed statute, the consti-
tuition is sufficient to prevent them from voting
If they come within this provision they are dis
franchised now" That was the view the dem
ocratic party held, and that view has now been
sustained unanimously by the supreme court
of the state
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-05-16

The decision of the supreme court by no
means makes the constitution self-executing.
The republican party will not execute it. The
! only hope that the good Christian and
! women of this state have that it will be made
effective and poygamy eradicated is in the
. democratic party of the state. The republican
party not only will not enforce the constitution
but will not allow anyone else to enforce it
if they have the power to prevent. They have
made compact with the Mormon organiza-
! ton that the constitution of the state shall not
be enforced against the Mormons, and in re-
turn for that, the Mormons vote them into
office 1t is impossible for anyone to attempt
a denial even of this plain statement.
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-05-16

chaengers simply insisted that the Mormons should
comply with the requirements of the constitution in
order to vote.
That was the experience through which the demo-
cratic party went during the last campaign in at
tempting to enforce the constitution of the state
The supreme court says they right; that
the constitution is sefexecuting; but does the Lew
iston Tribune think that the constitution will
ecute itself? If the Tribune and its brand of dem
Gratis succeed in turning the party to the Nor
MONS does it suppose that the Mormons will apply
the requirements of the constitution? The consti-
tuition of the state be made self-executng only
by organized effort The democratic party of the
state intends to put forth that organized effort
The democratic party of the state intends that at the
next election the Mormons as we'll as the Gentiles
shall comply with the requirements of the consttu-
ton in order to vote While it is true that there
has been change in the republican machine
far its personnel is concerned and while it is in
the same combination with the Mormons yet they
will not dare at the next election under the decision
of the supreme court, to throw the democratic
Challengers into jail and to maltrea them when they
present the constitution of the the voters
the polls
Chairman Brady will be the candidate for COVER
nor, and Governor Gooding will be the chairman of
the republican committee They will change places,
but Governor Gooding neither governor chair
will advise the Mormons at the next election
to arrest challengers at the polls. The supreme
court has settled that.
The situation is now an exceedingly simple
in Idaho, and this Mormon question is easy of
luton. Let the democratic party stand together for
the enforcement of the constitution of the state let
it see to it that the constitutional requirements for
voting shall be administered This all be done
in an orderly manner and in strict compliance with
the Interpretation of the law
This question will be as far removed from settle
ment if under any sort of subterfuge the
Mormons allowed to disregard the constitutional
requirements for voting. Their defenders say that
they can take the test oath. Give them the oppor-
tuny If they refuse to take when it is presented
to Them and they refrain from voting, and the Trb-
une and its brand of democracy united with the
republicans of the state think that the constitutional
requirements for voting harsh and unjust then
they organize appeal to the people of the state
and demand constitutional amendment to repeal
those provisions of the constitution
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-05-16

The democratic party in the last campaign took the
position that the constitution selfexecung, and
attempted to enforce it. They put chalengers at the
polls in Mormon communities, with instructions to
them to demand of the voters that they take the
constitutional requirements The chairman of the
democratic state central committee issued his open in
structons, and was guided entirely by statute law
Senator Hepburn during that campaign in an address
delivered at Columbia theatre, Boise, on Friday even
ing September A. 1906 after reading the Idaho test
oath, said
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-05-16

So long, however, as the constitution of the
state remains as it is, there will be demand
which some time another must be squarely
met that all the people of the state live up to
the requirements of this fundamental instru-
ment

LITTLE THINGS.

Suppose the first LITTLE acorn
That grew to an oak tree tall
Had said, "I cannot dc anything,
Because / am so small;''
Would we have any grand old mon
arehs,
Where the birds build their nests and
sing,
And under who's spreading branches
Tne children play and swing?
Suppose that the tiny streamlet,
AS it starts down the mountain side,
Should say "I'll just stop in the sun
shine,
can never form river wide;"
Would We have any beautiful rivers
To make glad the thirsty land
And on whose ripping waters
Glide the steam boats large and grand.
Who these lines may chance to see,
That the world is made up of small
things
And without them no great thing car
be.
'Tis the little tasks and duties
That make up the sum of life
'Tis the little frowns and cross word
That cause so much heartache and
strife.
Be faithful in the small things
And over great ones you shall rule,
This is the wisest lesson
You can learn in life's great school.

MAY NINTH
IS TAG" DAY
For Benefit OF The Old Ladies Home

Some days ago THE CONNER
CIAL suggested that the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy in CO.
lumbus have Tag" Day, which
has become such popular
source of fun and of raising
funds for good purposes. We
are such peculiar people that
every conceivable method must
be adapted to raise money that
ought to be cheerfully given for
the splendid purposes designed
Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham
and other places have raised
nice sums and every body had a
good time except a few old
idiots who ought to be either in
hades or the asylum.
The Daughters of the Confed-
eracy did not take the sugges-
tion of Tag" Day up at once
and as a consequence their sis
ters representing the Old Ladies
Home Association are ahead of
them and they have designated
Saturday. May 9th, as the time
when t ey will tag every man
in town and expect him to
''come across" with all ne can
afford from a dime up. He may
be tagged once or a hundred
times but each time he is ex-
pected to shell out his hard
earned cash. 1t is not intended
that any one should be embar-
assed and every body is re-
quested to take the tagging in
that good humor with which it
is intended.
The purpose for which this
money is being raised is a noble
one and no gentleman or lady
who is able TO do so will object
to contributing, even though the
amount may be small.
Lets all join in, have a lot of
fun and help these dear good
women to raise a nice sum of
money.

DETECTIVE AGENCY
WITH TRAINED DOGS
viii Be Located In Jackson For Public
Business.

Arrangements have been CON-
pleted whereby branch of the
Mcmahon detective agency of
New Orleans is to soon be locat-
ed in jackson. The agency will
be eqipped In every way for the
detection of crime and the cap
ture of criminals, their equip
ment including full trained and
tried bloodhounds, which will
be kept in readiness for emer-
gencies and TO go out on the
shortest notice.
This will solve the problem of
obtaining bloodhounds, so far as
Kinds and adjoining counties
are concerned. if the counties of
the state are willing to pay the
price, and in most cases it is be-
lieved they will prefer that to
trying to keep dogs of their own,
which will get out of training
and, as in many previous instan-
ces, become useless from that
cause.
Governor Noel, in speaking of
this matter yesterday, express
Ell qualification at the arrange
Inent. and said that, although
TN state would have to pay for
whatever service it got it would
be able to get the service when
it needed it.-Jackson News.

The Pennant Race.

With her own team snugly en-
scOnced in the bottom of the
cellar, Jackson is viewing the
pennant race in the c ttOn
States League with keen inte est
and the opinion is daily growing
that the final battle for the rag
will be between the Gulfport and
Columbus organization,
Viewing the individual records
Of players and the character of
team work, this seems to be a
reliable brand of dope, although
but one-sixth of the games
scheduled for the season have
been played. and there is yet
plenty of time for startling
changes to take 7 lace in the per-
centage column.
1t is plainly apparent to all close
students of the game, however,
that Jackson, Vicksburg. Merid-
ian and Monroe will have to
strengthen up considerably if
they hope to be final contenders.
Columbus and Gulfport are play
ing fast. snappy ball, and are
winning the games that holde
them at the top of the column by
sheer force of superior work
both with the stick anl in the
field.
The Jackson team is rather
puzzling proposition. On paper it
looks fully as good as either
Gulfport or Columbus, and cert
ainly contains as many first-class
players as eth r of those organ

lacking in team work. and dur
