The Anti=MOrmOn Ticket.

A news dispatch from Weiser, the political center
of Washington county, Idaho, says the Mormon bolt
at Wallace strengthens the anti Mormon democratic
ticket in that county. Many republicans have de-
clared that they will support the anti Mormon de-
mocratic ticket, being tired of Mormon dictation in
their party and attempted Mormon dictaton in
the democratic party
The dispatch continues, referring to republicans:
They say there is Mormon menace in Idaho and
they want to do their part in driving it out OF
power. This county gave Stocklager over 1000 ma
jority two years ago when he ran on an ant-Mor-
mon platform for governor, and it will give the
nominee of the anti Mormon democratic party 1,500
this fall This is the strongest anti-Mormon county
in the state. The Washington county delegates will
receive cordial reception from the people of Weiser
when they return from Wallace because they
pleased with their work.
The sentiment made manifest in Washington
ty be found in every county in the state and
especially strong is it in the thckly populated Nor
counties, where the Gentle population is in
close contact with practical pogany and practical
church control in politics and government.
The missionaries of virtue who are manifest
ing their obedience to God by rebelling against the
tyrant monogamy receiving little sympathy out
side of pogamous circles.

1.-The Home The Emblem.

THE Home" was again adopted by the democratic
party of Idaho as the emblem to be placed at the
head of its ticket-the words "The Home" and
picture of the home. This is the ticket the ennis
saries of the Mormon church say they going to
ask the courts to destroy.
The task they to give to the courts is
i'll keeping with the mission of the establishment they
represent for the fundamental principle upon which
its existence is based is the destruction of the home
The wonder of it is that men to whom the home
means everything worth living for should join with
tht sacregists in their proclamation of the domestic
altar of the christian people.
That they have become stepped in bigotry as to
seek to officially declare that the defenders of the
home are imposing, through their Defence tyranny
upon the state that God Himself condemns and COM
mands them to break.
That they should take their anathema against vir-
tue from the foul mouth of the organizer of the
system that seeks to eliminate the home and sub
stitute domestic hell
These things to wonder at in this enlightened
twentieth century.

They also have much to say about Senator Dubois

This course suggests several things | want to say:
1. If Dubois dead, eliminated from Idaho politics,
causes such fright what would Dubois alive cause
them to feel? Or is it not proof that they know that
Dubois is very much alive and that he is today the
most potent figure in Idaho politics? Not only are
these antis with their antics frightened at his very

his shadow. Present conditions reminds one of Rich

Palestine in the days of the crusades when the
horseman rebuked his steed for soaring by saying

Our Naval Expansion.

Count Okuma, distinguished citizen of Japan and
former president of the progressive party, says that
american naval expansion has but object in
view, an ultimate clash with Japan for the mastery
of the Pacific ocean,"
Certain circumstances justify the remark. Hobson
is one of them Roosevelt is another. AS soon as
the United States found itself in possession Of a
navy that it might reasonably feel proud of, it sent
menacng array of battleships out Of the Atlantic
into the Pacific and for months it executed dress
parade movements along the extensive coast line
with chip its shoulder
This was a demonstration against possible foe
in the orient and Japan is the only power of size
in the far east Naturally Japan assumed that 1t was
the object of the naval preparations of the United
States and it strained its credit to the utmost that
it might be strong enough to meet an assault if
came.
If relations between the United States and Japan
are somewhat strained, as they said to be, we
began it and we have continued to prod the little
empire with irritating big stick.
After the Pacific coast dress parade the American
armada steered straight across the Pacific ocean to
the dominions of the mkado and made friendly
call that was doubtless intended impressive OBJ
ect lesson and then headed southwark and will pass
in review of the nations it returns to the home
shores by way of the Suez canal
1t will then have strutted around the world and
in the national understanding the demonstration
made account of Japan, which happens to be with
in striking distance of collection of islands that
purchased by a peace commission at the in
stance of inefficient business who happened to
occupy the executive chair
Japan had occupied its present site for centuries
and was not thought of as menace until we in
vaded its environment. The United States was the
first to suggest the menace, and the last Japan has
said nothing. But it adds to its naval equipment year
by year And why not, with parading battleships
off its weather beam and Roosevelt making indis-
Greet remarks and Hobson giving them away to
national conventions?
Count Okuma expressed the opinion that the
American people did not sympathize with the
like tendencies of their impusive president and the
count be credited with an astueness that is
nearly nfallible.
Unless there is misstep, Roosevelt will be out
of the reckoning before serious results can follow
his impetuousity and the country hardly find
another so intently bent preserving peace by
being ready for war
Finally, the country may rid itself of its ex-
pensive and dangerous oriental possessions and
then the yellow peril 1000 miles away will cease
to the western hemisphere.

TIMBER FAMINE IMMINENT
Our Supply Will Be Exhausted in
Twenty Years.

New York, March Announcing
that there was no issue before the
American people so important, in his
Judgment, as the conservation of nat
ural resources, urged upon congress
by President Roosevelt, Clifford Pin
chot, forester of the department of
agriculture. told 1900 persons at a
meeting of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers that a timber
famine in this country was imminent
and that unless there was great
change in public sentiment the coun-
try would have to face In few years
the problem of how to do without
wood.
At the present rate of consumption,
he said, the trees now standing could
supply timber for twenty years. There
have already been set aside in the
West 165,000,000 acres of forest lands
protected by the government. "But
this represents only one-fifth of the
timber the people of this nation own"
added the speaker. and steps to pro-
tect all such property from the rapid
destruction now In progress cannot be
taken too SOON"
