This is an affair between members of machine
that has been substituted for government and palmed
off as the genuine article upon the citizens of the
commonwealth In the beginning the, Governor made
the Auditor and the Auditor helped make the Gov
and they vouched for each other. The Gov
would not have placed the of the Auditor

publican convention had not the Auditor had some
thing to do with the bestowal of power that made
the Governor party boss.
Such amenities reciprocal 1t is unseemly for
pals like these to fall out STILL it is i'll wind that
blows nobody good and the public may be the gamer
by the dissolution of political partnership.
Administration affairs have not been sailing along
smoothly of late and its hold the party is not
strong as it was The machine is not in good con-
ditlon to enter the campaign that is soon to open.
There is not only internal disturbance but outside
detection. Some of the heretofore faithful mani

ought to insure him seat in the House of Repre-

The libel action instituted by the State Auditor
against the Governor makes him a joint defendant
with the Boise Statesman, the damage to character

This is controversy entirely within the party

The Law of the Mormon.

The Deseret News is the medium through which
the Mormon church conveys its instructions and
commands to the members of the Mormon church
There Intermediates between them and the voice
of the Lord of Hosts There are the presidency, the
apostles, the elders God talks directly with the
head of the church and the divine conversation is
handed down through the middle men until it is
lodged in the columns of the organ of the church,
where it is open to the perusa of the lesser Nor
mons, who accept 1t as something inspired and Off
cial
The old, cumbersome process of delivering these
truths upon metal plates exhumed from some long
forgotten cache and speaking in an unknown tongue,
has given way to the conveniences of civilization
and line of speedy intercommunication is estab-
lished
Through recent issue of the Deseret News, Elder
Roberts, one of the anointed, explains the process
himself saying:
1t is the president of the church that receives the
revelations of God and announces the law to the
church. That is the law-making power of the
church; there is other. The people do not leg
1sate for the church The voice of the people is not
the voice of God.
1t is interesting to learn from source so radiant
that whatever the president of the church may pre-
tend to have received from on high is the law-that
he is the law-makng power and there is no other"
law-making power.
The existing president of the church is the DOS
SCISSOR of five wives and he recently stated under
oath that in maintaining relations with his five wives
he was breaking the law of God and man, but that
he did not propose to abandon the practice The
admitted law breaker is the 1aw-maker and to what
ever laws he makes the followers of the doctrine
must yield obedience

Trouble Within the rIaChine.

The people of the State of Idaho have before
them the spectacle of a Governor who is using his
official position and opportunities in criticism of
of his associates in the governing business. The
Governor is not distinctly impelled by sense of
duty to the constituency He appears, rather to have
gone after the Auditor of the State because the Aud
itor has departed from the time-honored custom of
obeying the orders of the head of the political
binaton.
The difference between the two officials has
progressed as far the courts where the Governor
is to be arraigned of the principals in libel
action that will drag into publicity condolences that

HEIR TO MILLIONS INSANE.
Long Lost, Finally Found in an Asy-
linn

Galveston, TeXas.-The accidental
discovery of Paul w. Westermole as
an inmate of the Terrell insane asy-
lum brought to light the missing heir
to an estate located in Edwards, Sui
ton and Valverde counties and valued
at more than S1,OO0,O00.
About 12 years ago the young man,
who was then % years of age and the
son of John w. Westermole of San
Antonio, quarreled with his father and
left home. The family heard from
hlm for two years while he was locat-
ed in Cincinnati, following his trade
oe electrical engineering He left there
and nothing more was heard from
him.
His father died 10 years ago leav-
ing ranch property and stocks and
bonds valued at 100000. The es-
tate was divided between the widow
and one daughter, and for seven years
fortune was spent searching for the
son, without result, and he was given
up as dead, Three years ago the
daughter died and the mother is MAX
ing her home I'm California.
The son has been an inmate of the
asylum for two years and is greatly
improved. A friend of his fathers,
visiting at the asylum, recognized the
man, who was admitted under an
other name.

CURIOUS HERB OF FLORIDA.
Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Ants
and Other Insects.

Almost everybody knows there are
such things as insectlvorous or car
nivorous plants, but it is doubtful If
many know we have any such plants
growing right here in southern Flori-
da. Nevertheless, there is a plant, or
rather herb, growing here which is
really insectiyorous
1t is likely that on account of its
being extremely small 1t has escaped
attention. In fact, 1t seems to have
been overlooked by the botanist also
as we are unable to find it classified
among the sensitive plants
This Is an annual herb and the en-
tire plant, including the flowers, is of
deep, rich red color. It rarely
reaches a height Of more than three
inches and is never so broad. The
leaves are spatulated when undisturb-
ed and present many small fibrillae
and secrete at their tips a tenacious
fluid which is capable of holding the
very small insects, such as ants and
the like, upon which 1t feeds. When
any of these get lodged in the fluid
and disturb these fibrilae the leaves
slowly assume deep cup shape, some
times curling completely up over their
victim. When they have absorbed the
insect they slowly recover their orig
inal shape, leaving only the skeleton
Of the insect remaining.
These plants grow on the very low
flat, poor and sandy lands. They ap-
pear in the late winter and early
spring months.

Gently from janitors of downtown

says the rats out his way have carried
away almost everything except the
house and fence, and according to va

Was Jesus a Jew by race? This
was the remarkable question raised
by Professor Paul Haupt, Of the
Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore,
in paper read at the international
congress on the history Of religions at
oxford.
Briefly stated, Professor Haupt's
theory is that Jesus was a Gallean,
that he was born in Nazareth and
not in Bethlehem, and that the Cali
leans were not Jews by race, but had
been forced to become Jews by re-
llgion.
THE founders of Christianity were
Galileans." he said Jesus first dis
ciples, Peter and his brother Andrew,
as well as the two sons Of Zebedec,
James and John, were Gallean fish
ermen.
Canon Cheyne has remarked in
his Encyclopedia Biblical that
Professor Percy Gardiner has well
said According to all historical
probability, Jesus Of Nazareth was
born at Nazareth"'
"The tradition that Jesus was n de-
scendant of David and was born at
Bethahem was not original" con-
tlnued Professor Haupt. "The CEN
sus referred to in the second chapter
Of the third Gospel took place in the
year A. D., that IS at least II years
after the Nativity. There was no i'm
perial assessment till Judea had been
made an imperial province, nor would
the people have been assessed at their
ancestral homes, as is suggested in
the words, And all went to be taxed
every one into his own city
Later Tradition"
Moreover, Mary would not have
been required to accompany Joseph.
Jesus himself referred to the belief
that the Messiah was to be a son Of
David as an opinion Of the Pharasees.
"The later tradition which endeav-
ored to harmonize the life Of Jesus
with the alleged Messianic prophecies
in the Old Testament was n conces-
sion TO Jewish expectations or preju-
dices."
Professor Haupt then proceeded
on a long chronological argument pur-
porting to show that the population
OF Gallee was not Jewish but Aryan.
He pointed out that in the post-exile
introduction TO the poetic glorifica-
ton of the ideal king in the ninth
chapter OF the Book of the Prophet
isaiah Galilee was called the district
"of the nations" in other words, OF
the Gentlles.
He stated that by historical evil
dcnce all the Jews in Galilee were
removed in 1874 b. c.
Put in 1O3 b. c." continued Pro-
fessor Haupt "the eldest son and
successor of the great Maccabean
conqueror. John Hyranus Arlstobu-
lus. the first king of the Jews, whose
coronation was glorifed in the Sec
ond Psalm. Juraised Galilee. He
forced the inhabitants to accept cir
cumcison and the Mosaic law.
"Since that time the Galileans were
Jews by religion, but not Jews by
race. The Jews looked down on
them, and the dialect of the Galile-
ans betrayed their non-Jewish ex-
traction"
Professor Haupt concluded thus
that 1t was by no means certain that
Jesus and the Galilean fisherman,
who were invited by Him to become
fishers of men, We're Jews by race.
They may have been not Semites, but
Aryans.
