Tremendous Pressure.

Pressure nothing less than ire

upon the administration and upon

Another rumor was that there was
some kind of an understanding be-

Some so as far as To say that il
certain Senators had believed the
President would actually make good

OF Congress who after the stress OF
the past session will barely have time

adjust their affairs for another ses-

that specific charges be filed
within ten days the impress
ion being rather emphasized
that there would be no inves-
LEGATION unless others pre-
scented the evidence. In
other words, the committee
would not initiate any inquiry.
The democrats opposed this
plan because it put it up to
them to make good their
vote getting statements.
There is no reason why
Governor Hawley, who in
| dulged in most of the accusa-
tions during the campaign,
should not now come to the
front with charges of an of
fetal nature. If he does not,
his former declarations will
not carry much weight with
the public. On the other
hand there is no reason why
the investigating committee
should not 60 ahead in the
labsence of charges. If the
democrats refuse to come tx
the center the public will bt

them as being guilty of max

Don't Mix Politics with Religion
Ovid. Jan. IA. 1911

Ovid, Jan. IA, 1911
Editor Examiner--As you announ-
ced last week that you would be
pleased to publish communications
on any topic that anyone might
write, / desire to make q few COM
ments on the article entitled 1.-THE
Mormon Question:" which appeared
in the Examiner last week. AS a
Presbyterian, 1 protest against the
insinuation that some of our public
men had better join the Mormon
church. Is man who serves his
country well a fanatic or patriot?
Would not the latter serve his coun-
try for more unselhsh reasons than
the former? Certainly, the Mormons
have settled this region, but did they
do it for love, say of the Presbyter-
ians? Hardly, SO long as the Presby-
terians are not going to bow to them.
A true Christian can have no patience
with those who forever parade their
religion while they are earning the
Almighty dollar.
| A man who loves his country, who
is ready to die and willing to live fol-
it, will hardly have time to measure
his conscience and fix his degree OF
glory for the hereafter.
Let us have a republic, governed
by those who do not mix politics
with religion.

Montpelier. Idaho, Jaa. 20, 1911

The Examiner is pleased |
to be able to announce that
the indications of a scarlet
fever epidemic, which pre-
vailed in Montpelier two
weeks ago, have practically
vanished. Only one new case
has developed within the past
ten days, and none Of the
cases have been of a serious
nature. In this connection
we wish to suggest to the
citizens of Montpelier that
they should be more discreet
about circulating stories re-
gardin9 affairs of this kind.
Within a day or two after the
first few cases developed, all
manner of reports were cir
culated. The number of
cases of the disease in town
were given at all the way
from Is to SO. These stories,
of course, travelled all over
the county and has had the
effect of keeping people from
coming to town. 1t is strange
why people will delight in
exaggerating stories of this
kind as they do stories regard
ing the evil deeds that are
committed by their fellow
being.
At no time were there more
than seven homes quarantin
ed in Montpelier on account
of scarlet fever, and the au-
thorities have taken every
precaution possible to pre-
vent its spread. People 0
the valley need have M
fear about coming to this cit,
to do their trading as The
epidemic of scarlet fever
exists only in the distorted
minds of a few individuals il
the town.
