JOHNSTON AND THE SPEAKER
SHIP.

The month of December witnesses
the selection, of the speaker of the
house., and people in eastern Idaho
and especially in Bingham county
the home of Mr.. Johnson are rails
ing the question whether we can
spare him from the floor to perform
the honorable but perfunctory duties
of speaker. Mr.. Johnston has long
been the floor leader in the house for
the Republicans, and his usefulness
and ability there are unquestioned.
Blackfoot would be pleased to have
the honor of furnishing the speaker,
but would be better pleased to have
their man as floor leader If by that
means more good could be done for
the state and for the party that holds
the record of doing things for the
state. Bingham county will be
proud of Mr.. Johnston's achievements
in either position, and it is question
now as to which he could accomplish
most in. Not saying of course that
he could or could not become speak
er, but it is question whether or
not leading men of this county and
this end of the state prefer to have
him serve in the one place or the
other. Mr.. Johnston wants to serve
in the place where his constituents
prefer to have him, and when that is
known, that will be the goal of his
ambition.
The people of this county acted
with wisdom when they elected him,
and now they should exercise courage
and prudence in directing the course
he is to take in this matter. When
the course is adopted, they know they
can leave the details to him.

the intense feeling aroused against
the Masonic order of which he was
a prominent member. The trouble
rolled along through the years, and
the matter ran its course and wore
out like fever. The new protective
tariff schedule was being ushered in,
the bank of the United States was
being ushered out, South Carolina
was trying to get out Of the union,
our troubles with Mexico were null
tiplying, Texas wanted to get into the
Union, speculation in western lands
was rife, nothing but specie was re-
ceived by the government in payment
of public lands accounts, the banks
had to call in their loans in order to
close up their business with the gov
eminent at the expiration of their
charter, and period of great pros
perity terminated in the panic of'37.
Andrew jackson went out of office
while the storm was bursting and the
Anti-Masonic fight became only an
unpleasant memory swallowed up in
the greater calamities social and pol
itical
Whatever the Masons of those
days did or did not do, they have
grown in power and esteem for three
quarters Of century since the trou-
BILE ceased, and nobody mentions
them now as a menace, although it is
frequently said that If Mason is in
trouble in the courts he can bring
to his command such strong de-
tense that the ends of justice are Of

ANTI-MASONIC FIGHT.

The year 1926 was made memoir
able by the anti-Masonic fight that
had its origin in the state Of New
York. William Morgan, a resident
of,western New York, had some diff
erences with the Free and Accepted
Masons. and threatened to publish. the
secrets of the fraternity. Morgan
suddenly disappeared and never waa
heard of afterwards. There were
many rumors of his whereabouts, but,
like the lamented Charlie Ross, none
of the rumors could be traced to any
thing authentic, and Morgan was
never found.
The Masonic order fell under sus.
picion, and it was common belief that
Morgan was either murdered and put
out of the way or that he was by some
means deported and his voice fore
ever. silenced on the subject. The is
sues between the Masons and their
enemies became a political one, and
the Anti-Masonic party exercised con-
siderable influence in elections. II
was a disagreeable turmoil. arrayins
people against their relatives and
neighbors and business associates.
The hight became very bitter and peo-
pie were constantly trying to get
their friends and neighbors "tabulat-
ed SO they would know who was
who and in whose presence they
might safely discuss the political sit
uation. New discoveries and new en-
barrassments multiplied steadily, and
while the word Mason was re-
proach with most people they had on
" very indefinite information and
much hear-say on which to base their
fear Of things Masonic.
William Writ, one of the eminent
lawyers of his time. was the Anti
Masonic candidate for president in
1882; Dewitt Clinton, one Of New
York's most promising statesmen,
found his political career ruined by

that yielded the men only the barest
living. That II they should take
hundred thousand Of these working
men and herd them in field for a
single day where they could not do as
they wished, or il they should soak
them with kerosene until they did
not feel right for a day or two, the
American people would wipe them off
the face of the earth. But we allow the
whiskey trust to keep 100000 work
ing men soaked with liquor all the
time so that their usefulness is mill,
and SO they are criminals besides,
and yet we cannot get our own con-
sent to put the whiskey trust out of
business.

DAYS in the city and never see wheel
ed vehicle.
There are some carriages In Quito,
but they are rarely used. and when
one Of them comes rafting along ev-
erybody turns out to look at it as at
some curiosity.
A third popularity is that while the
bulk of the population dress in ponchos
"a kind of cloak or loose garmentl and
short linen trousers a considerable
number of peopIe-white men-are to
be seen walking about and wearing
frock coats and tall hats. These men,
the visitor is generally told. are en-
ightened and cultivated men. natives
of Spanish origin. who claim that they
form the nation of EcuaGorians. In
dams. of course, do not count.
Every white man in Quito who can
possibly manage it wears this sort of
coat and hat TO emphasize his impor-
lance and highly civilized condition.
This dress justifies him in calling
himself doctor and others in so styling
him, and he also thinks that it gives
him a claim to come into your apart
ments without being invited and try
to borrow cents from you.

How Malta Became European.

Malta underwent a geographical as
well as a political change through its
acquisition by England in 1914. 1t had
always been regarded as part of Afri-
ca, to which it seemed to belong both
from topography and language. After
its annexation. however. 1t was discov-
cred that the garrison was entitled to
the higher pay granted to troops en-
ployed out of Europe and was there
fore more privileged than the soldiers
in the Ionian islands. To remedy this
parliament passed an act decreeing
that so far as pay went Malta should
be regarded as part Of Europe. 1t
used to be joke that Malta had be-
come European by act of parliament,
and the jest soon became a reality

CENTER OF THE EARTH.
It May Be Mighty Mass of Molten

Did you ever stop to consider the
fact that in all probability the center

gold. iridium and platinum? These

In answer | would say:
1.-Two proofs. and perhaps more"
! First. the three metals are the heav-
lest known substances. compared bulk

would naturally be attracted to the
center of our planet. In the beginning

Ages ago. when the crust Of the earth
was thin-very thin-all of the gold
now known was thrown out in volcan
ic eruptions. This last mentioned fact
is the second reason for believing that
our globe has a golden center. woven
around a nucleus of iridium and plati
mum.
A third reason for believing that
there is gold at the center is this: The
earth as a whole weighs five times az
much as a globe of water of the same
bulk. while the rocks forming the out
err crust are less than three times a:
heavy as water.-St. Louis GlobeDem
