The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-01-04
In the Commercial Line.

The Capital News of Boise talks to The Scmitar,
by indirection, evidently sympathizing with the hope
of The Scimitar that it may never be mentioned by
name in a publication that long ago abandoned po-
ltical principle and placed itself the market as
the servant of the greatest number of dollars
The Capital News makes a pretense of being
Democratic. 1t is really nothing in a party sense
and not much of anything in newspaper sense.
In its issue of Monday last it undertook to talk
about bosses and bossism as being representative of
the movement of the real Democracy of Idaho to
overthrow the institution of polygamy. While pratt
ting along in that vein it emphasized its own sub
serviency to the bossism of what there is in it in
cash by opposing the chief issue of the Democratic
party-an issue endorsed by all those members of
that organization that separate partysm from COM
merciasm
The paper under discussion took for its text the
remarks of this paper the address delivered by
M. Alexander, of Boise, at a recent meeting of the
local Democratic club and said, again by indirec-
ton, that The Scmitar advised the sitting of dis
cusson of the future course of the party by the
lay members of Democracy. In this manner it as
sumed that it had proved that this paper boss
In the article that provoked the hostility of the
Capital News The Sciinitar said referring to Mr.
Alexander and his address:
Like every other man under the protection of the

republic, this club orator is entitled to his view
any public question He may with propriety
attempt the conversion of his political associates to
his beliefs But when he enters upon public dis
cussion of issues in opposition to the policy of his
party he gives to the champions of that policy
the right of protest through public argument,
Having answered the charge in the production
upon which the charge founded there is nothing
of Importance to dwell upon in that connection.
The further misrepresentation that this paper
cused Mr. Alexander of being apostate, is subject
to the modification contained in the original article,
that he admitted it when he declared that he was
a gold bug in 1896 and that he deceived his party
associates by shouting for free silver when he didn't
mean it.
The Scmitar has purpose to subserve in
ferring to Mr.. Alexander. 1t is merely keeping its
record clear it goes along for it expects to be
assailed in a nasty way by the commercial politicians
and the commercial publications that deplore the adj
vent of a party newspaper representative that will
not sell its opinion or its influence.
1t is innovation that at invites the hos
tity of such constituencies puryeyors of corruption
the Capital News and in replying to its entirely
unournalistic illusions, The Scintar takes ad-
vantage of the opportunity to say that it does not
belong to the class of its critic and may not par
ticipate generally in mud singing stunts

Hope for the Wrongdoer.

Federal Judge Robert E. Lewis, of Denver, has
cleared the future for a number of public domain
looters who had reason to fear that their thrifty
habit of accumulation might be viewed in
fortunate light by the interpreters of justice
Eighteen defendants in his court; charged in in
dctments with illegally procuring possession of coal
land in Colorado under the dummy entry system,
have been discharged by Judge Lewis and the in
dctmentS against them quashed
Hundreds of other presumed malefactors the coun-
try will look up with hope and bestow benson
upon the judicial imagination that has produced such
an unexpected version of plain moral requirement.

agree, in advance of entry to sell the property

corporations. More than 10000 acres of land are
involved in the decision and their value runs into
the millions of dollars evidence in itself of a
spiracy to despoil the government.
The cases will be Immediately appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States and the at
torneys for the Government expecting reversal

stitutional provision that is now being made mat
ter of Interpretation.
The complaint entered against Mr.. Bulge charges
him with being member of the Mormon church and
with making contributions to the support aid and
encouragement of the Mormon church. that the
Mormon church teaches advises, counses encour-
ages and aids persons to enter into poygamous mar
rages patriarchal marriages and plural marriages"
that the Mormon church teaches and advises that
the laws of this State prescribing civil conduct are
not the supreme law of this State; that "Alfred
Bulge is living in what is known as a
patriarcha marriage and is living in what is known
the celestial marriage" and that he teaches ad-
vses counseS and encourages through his practical
adoption of the patrarchal and celestial marriage
other persons to enter into like marriages
The complaint recites we'll known facts in rela-
ton to the beliefs and dongs of the Mormon church.
the polygamous practices of it's president and apos-
ties and members and recites that the defendant is
in active sympathy with the church in all other mat
terS
The complaint prays judgment that-"said defend
ant, Alfred Bulge is ineligible to hold the office of
District Judge of the Fifth Judicial District within
the State of Idaho-that the office of the District
Judge of the Fifth Judicial District within the State
of Idaho is vacant"
1t will be seen that the case involves great deal
than definition of terms 1t reaches the ker-
mel of the controversy which the Deseret News and
all Mormons prefer to avoid. If the Supreme Court
grants the prayer of the complainant it will es-
tablish precedent that can be applied to all office
