THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

The Mormon church recruited its followers from
European countries promising them land and plenty
and settled these foreigners portions of the
land acquired from the Government by the Mormon
coonizers These foreigners taught to and al
ways believe that the Mormon church gave them the
land They never entertain any gratitude or oblga-
ton allegiance to the government of the United
States. All their fealty is to the church
There are no great bodies of land in our Western
country which the Mormons can now colonize
der the existing land laws. 1t is becoming and
more difficult for them to put their converts land
when they arrive, and in consequence and more
difficult for them to make converts in Norway,
Sweden, England and Wales, from among the lowest
class of whose people they mostly
1t is not easy for the church to take of these
very poor and ignorant recruits unless it has land
for them If this bill of Apostle Smoot becomes
law, they will again COLOMBO large tracts of COM
pact land and deed it out to Mormon converts. Ida
no is making marvellous growth under the present
land laws. The state is filling up with the very
highest type of citizenship. The Mormons with
us now in such numbers as to be menace to good
government but under existing conditions the Amer
lean sentiment and vote will increase much faster
than the Mormon
Ben E. Rich an alert and active Mormon of high
degree who is often selected by the hierarchy for
missions requiring diplomacy and skill, has been
traversing Southeastern Idaho, stirring up the Nor
mon Bishops and subservient Jack-Mormons to wire
and write Senator Hepburn to withdraw his obec-
tions to the Smoot bill. Senator Hepburn is abso-
lutey right from nnumerable standponts in insisting
that Idaho be excepted from the provisions of this
act should it become law. 1t should not become
a law at all but if it does let its provisions be con-
fined to Utah the home of its author

Advice to the North.

In the Couer d. A1ene Press of the oath of March
is published an interview with Glen ?. MclAmly,
of Twin Falls, Idaho who was speaker OF the house
of representatives of the Idaho legislature during the
session of 1901, the house being Democratic that
year Mr.. McKnly represents Mormon section OF
the state although his home city is populated most
1y by Gentes, for whom it expresses preference
He considers the Mormon question the paramount
issue in the state and says the state will give Bryan
a majority no matter how much opposition the
Mormon Republican alliance brings to bear Along
this line of thought Mr.. McKnly reasons admirably,
saying:
The arguments of some of our leading Democrats
that thew are hopeful of carrying the state for Bryan
if the Mormon question is eliminated from the plat
form and thereby induce the Mormons to cast their
vote for him is but fantastic and r1deScent dream
It seems that the inducements for them to vote
for BRYAN would be greater if that plank was lett
in the platform, it would give them an opportunity
to prove their loyalty to the Democratic party by
giving him large vote and registering their vote
against the state ticket There is question IN my
mind that the church will direct certain percentage
to cast their vote for the national standardbearer
It is my belief that the old horses and office
seekers who coming out so strong against the
Mormon question are looking forward to Demo
cratic victory in the nation and, like the present adj
mnstration of Governor Gooding, they feel, they
would be willing to sacrifice all principle to induce
the Mormons to perpetrate on the people of Idaho
Democratic administration which would compare
with the present state administration but matter
of fact it would be a Democratic admin
istraton than the present administration is Republ-
can because the Mormon church has no politics, as
has been proved in the state of Utah, and If the Nor
mon church could be convinced that Bryan would be
elected there doubt IN my mind that both the
state of Idaho and Utah would go Democratic.
Thus, in abandoning all principle for the spoils of

NO AyJvOsITY AGAINST RUSSIA

There is reason for regretting the utterances
or some of them-attributed to the American
correspondent of the st. Petersburg newspaper
"RoSSia' as being suited, however unintentfOn-
ally. TO produce the very conditions which he os-
tensibIy aims to avoid or to abate. He deplOres
what he calls "the anmOSity of the American
people toward Russia" and he attributes that
alleged state OF mind TO the propaganda of
Japanese agents and sympsthizers in America
during the Russo japanese war and to the
preachments of Russian political agitatOrs-pre
sumably of the Gorky type. If such animosity
really existed ii might be well tC discuss means
for abating ii. But since ii does not exist we
must regard such utterances as those of this
correspondent as i'll advised and mischievOuS.
To say that Americans cherish animOsity toward
Russia is likely to make Russians feel some re
sentiment toward America, and 10 make Amer
leans resent what they viii regard as misrepre-
sentation Of them.
There is not and there has not been anything
like general anmOsity on the part of the Amer
lean people toward Russia. On the contrary,
there has long been widely prevalent in this
country 4 sentiment of earnest, sympathetic in
tereSt in the doiugs and the destiny of the en-
pre of the czars. There has at times no doubt
been strong disapproval of some Russian Incl
dents and policies. Thus John Quincy Adams
opposed Russian pretensions IN the Northwest
Doctrine against them and in the last few years
the course Of the Russian government on the
sugar bounties and the tariff was disapproved
OF course, the excesses of Russian mobs at
Kishinef Balystok and elsewhere and the par
ticipation of Russian troops and officials in them
have been regarded with horror and detestation
and we are inclined To think that the great ma
jority of Americans held the Russian govern
ment to be- on the whole, in the wrong in the
train Of circumstances which led to the war
with Japan. hlI this may be 50, however with
out indicating any general animosity toward
Russia The American people long ago applaud
ed Hslssia'S liberation of the serfs. Whatever
may have been all the facts Of the case, there
is no doubt that multtudes Of Americans have
cherished and will continue TO cherish senti-
ments OF gratitude toward Russia for her atti-
tude and conduct during our Civil War. As for
these last few years, so full OF vast events in
Russia, we are certain that nowhere in the
world have there been more benevolent SYM
New-York tribune., 1908-07-13

pathies or more earnest desires for Russia's
successful working out of her great problems
than In the United States.
There Is no general animosity here toward
Russia, or indeed, toward any people IN the
world and we must regret the mistaken notlon
and the unfounded statement that there Is AS
for the suggestion of international visiting De
tween Russia and America, which the CORE
spondent in question makes, 1t Is heartily TO be
commended Such visiting might not do at
once all the good that could be desired. We re-
call that there was much Of it not long ago be-
tween Great Britain and Germany, without
great effect Still, whatever effect 1t would
have would surely be good, and we are inclined
to think that the effect would be considerable
Geographical remoteness, differences Of Ian
guage and other causes have kept the two coun-
tries from understanding each other as well as
they ought to or as well as many other coun-
tries do 1t is because of that no doubt that
there arise such misapprehensions as are ex-
pressed by this correspondent If only to dispel
the false notion of existing animosity, the pro
posed international exchanges would do much
good But they should be undertaken not TO
abate an animosity which does not exist but TO
promote friendship which does.

AJJHENT AND GTRE

Two French views Of the Presidential nom
nations in this country are illuminative and
suggestive.
One Is that Of NJ. Jaures and his comrades
of the extreme Socialist faction who oppose
republicanism as strongly as monarchy. They
hold that Organism is based on a deep and
''justifabe protest against things as they now
exist The other is that Of the Temps" one
of the most intelligent and judicious news
papers in France, which sees no evidence that
Mr. Bryan has accomplished anything prac-
tfcal or has demonstrate any particular talents
for administration.
1t must indeed seem strange to the foreign
observer that a considerable political party
should in substance say: The nation is ailing,
therefore let us intrust It's cure to somebody
quite void OF experience or of proved ability.
Yet that is precisely what Mr.. Bryan's support
erS do practically say.

Illustrative of the superstitions current in Dali

a corpse, and also with disturbing the
repose of the dead. by severing the sinews in the
foot of Mathe Duda. deceased land owner. at
Saona near Spalato. 1t seeroa that in that locality
exists a deeply rooted superstition that any evil
doer will. after death, be compelled to wander
round eternally in the shape of a greatly dis

THE NEW OLYMPICS.

Rifle shooting IN Olympic games seems a
stunendous anachronism. But new series OF
Olympiads has been founded in Greece itself,
while the classic name-like all classic things
has become universal possession of humanity,
applicable and useful in other lands than that
of the crown Of wild olive. We may therefore
regard the shooting at Bisley as fitting part
of the new Olympic contests, and the Amer
lean winners as in a way successors Of those
who strove and won in far different contests on
the bank of the Alpheus.
This week, however, the truer Olympic games
begin, on q scale undreamed Of in ancient Ells
The vast stadium in London will be throngeo
with scores of thousands of spectators from
almost every land Of the globe with three kings
as the central figures, while no fewer than
twenty-five hundred competing athletes march
in review These competitors, too, come from
all tribes and nations Even the delegation
from the United States alone comprises Anglo
Saxon. Teuton, Slav, Celt, black Ethiopian and
red Indian The games arranged are varied, be-
yond the ancient programme, in bewildering
naeIdnge of trials of strength, of speed, OF dex
terity. of judgment and of endurance In them,
indeed practically every desirable quality Of
the physcaI man, and Of the mental man as
directly affecting the physical, will be tested
for supremacy.
So multitudinous gathering of athletes might
almost be supposed for the time to monopolize
the sports of the world. Yet we hear of an
other gathering, az Frankfort-on-the-M Main, in
which no fewer than forty thousand athletes
are to take part, including four hundred from
the United States and meantime the full meas
ure of contests on land and water seems to be
maintained here, with perceptible diminution
because of these absences. Our twentieth cen
tury is an age of sports, as truly as and perhaps
+ho,, op tho -fi nlyT1-
piads or that which saw the Coliseum thronged.
There will be cause for qualification in that
fact so long as we maintain in our contests
the spirit of pure rivalry which marked those
in the vale OF Ellis, and keep them free from the
brutality which prevailed in the Roman arena.
