Police to Find
Her

II years and an accomplished musician.

almost heartbroken, came to Los An

books mounted her wheel, waved a.
CHEEKY farewell to her mother and sped
toward town. That was the opening
day of school. Her mother has not

When the girl failed to return sew

to town and began q search for the
missing girl. She notified the town
marshal, and he found, the girls bicycle
standing near the curb on Fourth street

high school. That is the last trace of

day to day, hoping her daughter would
return. Finally she despaired Of ever
locating her daughter and decided to
seek assistance from the Los Angeles

love affair and has never cared much

There was an effort on the part Of

out In the world and earn a good liv-

Certain newspapers In several cities
are worrying baseball fans with the
question, what is the maximum NUM-
ber of hits a team can make In nine
innings without scoring?" For fear the
problem, which approaches the "Ann's
age' puzzle, will cause too much
trouble, The Herald hastens to give the
snap away. II is flfty-four, or six hits
an inning. How7 Well, the first man
up makes a single, and Is caught steal
ing The next batter also hits safely
and he, too. falls q victim to the base
pur1oining habit. The following three
hitters make inf1eld swats, filing the
bases. Now comes the joker. A bat
ter cannot get credit for hit where
base runner is caught, so we are
compelled to have one of the base rum
ners hit with batted ball, the man
thus winged being declared out, while
the batter gets a hit under the rules.
No runs can be scored. That makes
six hits per inning. Six multiplied by
nine equals nfty-four. All right In the
ory, but nix on the practice.

the Maiers last Sunday on the celery

On the Side of Vice.

In all probability there have been isolated instances
of poygamous marriages since the manifesto perhaps
about the same proportion of bigamouS marriages
among other SectS and perhaps rather less OF aduer
Gus relations than among other Sects Just how the
proportion runs no one can say. And, however that
may be- deny that pol ygamy an in
stitution is dead slavery.
This is the argument of the Lewiston Tribune, and
it alleges further that the element that has arrayed
itself against po1ygamy is composed of fanatics It's
admission that there isolated instances of poyg-
amy is an admission that the crime exists and with
that much of an admission, the Lewiston paper IS
willing that it should continue exist in the lesser
degree in which it is recognized by an unwilling
mouder of opinion.
But those who live on the breeding ground of the
iniquty know that isolated instances of polygamous
marriages do not tell the whole story of indulgence
that is covered by a canon of a so-called church.
Without much doubt, had the Lewiston Tribune
been addressing the public in the days of slavery it
talks about it would have been ready to array the
opponents of slavery with the fanatical class, for
those who place themselves the side of wrong
must indulge in epithets in the absence of reason
able excuse for the position they assume
There can be nothing really reprehensible III the
course of the woman who objects to the
violation of the marriage relation that is continually
exploited in this state as command of God. Such
man or woman protest in the sincerity of pur-
ity of intention without earning the insulting desig
nation of fanatic the one broadly applied by the
paper at Lewiston.
In its defence of crime that faunts its unholy

presence in the face of the reputable people of the
commonwealth who seek only to command obedience
to the laws of God and man, the Lewiston paper
deems it necessary to cast cowardly reproach upon
other religious denominations placing their members
among the adulterous and the bigamous,
of defence of church organization that bases
its existence upon the dogma of plural marriage.
All the evidence that has been gathered in pains
taking way proves conclusively that the polygamous
practices of the Mormon establishment have not
been abandoned. 1t proves, rather, that they
the increase and that the head of the church is
tempatng the issuance of order that will authorize
open indulgence in a crime forbidden by the laws of
the Christian population of the world.
1t is the privilege of the Lewiston Tribune to take
the immoral side of great moral question. But
it will not be able convince its audience that wrong
is right in the interest of political expediency

the conduct of the State Treasurer. The Treasurer
has offered various of money as donation to

ated his defense by writing open letter to the

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

position of honor, power and trust held by the
senior senator from Idaho, w. B. Hepburn.
The Scimtar some weeks SINCE undertook to
make forecast of five of the six delegates to be
chosen to the national convention. Intervening
events have not offered any reason for modifying
that conclusion. 1t is the present judgment of The
Scimitar that the delegation will be Senator Borah
of Ada, Senator Hepburn of Shoshone Chairman
Brady of Bannock, State Senator O'Neil of Sho-
shone and State Senator Hart of Fremont The
other delegate is still in doubt with chances in
favor of Governor Gooding of Lincoln.
There is smart desire within the party to defeat
Governor Gooding as delegate to the national con-
vention. Gooding is aware of this sentiment and
accordingly his appointees have been signally indus
trious for the past few weeks.
1t is presumabe that the machine will prefer not
to antagonize of the chief artisans of this potent
political vehicle and that the Governor will be placed
the delegation sort of parting bouquet to his
memory, he is Sudden down and out of public
recognition at the hands of the party which has done
so much for him.
The selection of successor to Hepburn as national
committeeman will occur later when the delegation
goes the national convention Chicago and will be
determined solely by the delegates selected at the
Wallace convention to represent the republicans in
national convention
The Sclmar is of the opinion that when this dele
CATION meets to perform its delicate task it will
place the senior Senator, Mr. Hepburn, nation
al committeeman, and place this honor on the
shoulders of the Junior Senator Mr. Borah
There are two reasons why this program is likely
to obtain First, the personnel of the delegates will
be politically friendly to Senator Borah than
to Senator Hepburn Second, the republicans of the
state are inclined strongly to Roosevelt and Taft
and the interests they presumed to stand for, and
Senator Hepburn is not in harmony with many of
these while Senator Borah is supposed to be in
tire harmony with them.
