When we think of the wonderful
growth and development of Idaho
with the comparatively few years
that we have watched this growth
and development we are surprised at
its greatness. What must be the sur
prise and qualification of such men
as Governor Mcconnell who have
known the territory now composing
this state, for more than half CEN
fury? For 56 years Moscow's lead
ing citizen has made his home in
Idaho. When he came here the only
railroad on the Pacific coast was a
short line from Sacramento to Fol
som and less than 1000 persons lived
within the present borders of this
grand state.

Talk about the freedom of speech"
and our Representative government"
should be made in a whisper now that
United States senators are forbidden
to express an opinion on as important
an issue as the league of nations until
the party bosses tell them what to
think and what to say. Surely the
/. w. w. and the other soap box
orators have no "kick" coming be- /
cause they are not allowed to speak
on the streets and block public traffic
when United States senators are for
hidden to speak without the consent
of the party managers.
President Wilson introduced the
covenant of the league of nations to
the plenary session of the peace con-
ference and moved its adoption and
it was adopted without division and
without amendment" When Presi-
dent Wilson returns to the United
States and goes direct to the people
who have the votes, the covenant will |
receive practically unanimous sup
port.

THE HONOR NOT OURS.


The Spokane Chronicle is running
a series of articles by well known
men of the northwest on subjects con-
corning the development of this sec
ton of the country. Just now the
Chronicle is publishing series by
Professor W. G. Beach, Of Washing

is credited to the University of Idaho

The article is entitled Immigration

VALUES OF CITY
LANDS INCREASE
OVER A MILLION
Huge Gain in Real Estate Indicated
by Assessment Figures Which
Have Been Completed.

Real estate values in the city Of
Rock Island increased over a mil
lion dollars in the last year. ac-
cording to the assessment figures
Just completed. The lots and un-
plated lands in 1918 were assessed
at $1,000 1895 and this year the as
sessed value is s5,677,2l5, showing
a net gain of $376,S20. This amount
represents one-third Of the actual
value, indicating a gain OF over
100000.
In explaining the large increase
over the assessment figures Of a
year ago. o. +. Nelson, township
assessor, stated today that 100000
Of the amount is due to the assess
ments upon the new government
houses just completed. The balance
Of the increae is explained by a
greater valuation placed upon 2
large part OF the property IN the
city. especially in the business dis
Crict
mo one has been hit, who had
been paying a fair rate Of tax
said MI Nelson today, but those
whose assessments were plainly
far lower than they should be- were
raised in every case. In making
assessments, no attention was paid
to complaints registered, but the
property valuations were arrived at
after a careful investigation of the
actual worth Of the property"
Mr.. Nelson was assisted in MAX
ing the assessments in the down
town district by c. J. Larkin.

FLAW IN
MORMON FAITH
DIR. w. III. Reherd, Former Milan
Pastor, Speakers for Educa-
tiOnal Work in. West.

DR.. H. W. Reherd of Salt Lake
City, Utah, who presented the sub
ject of Mormonism at Broadway
and South Park Presbyterian
churches yesterday, was for four
years pastor of the Milan Presby-
terian church, serving there from
1897 to 1901 Rev. Mr.. Reherd was
born in Geneseo, the son of one of
the founders of the Geneseo Col
legiate institute, and of which in
stitution he is a graduate. Upon
leaving Rock Island Rev. Mr.. Re
herd was pastor of Detroit
church, later going to Waterloo,
Iowa, and for the last five years
he has served as president of the
Westminster college at Salt Lake
City, a Christian non-sectarian in
stitution. He is at present work
ing in the interest of a $4,000 en-
doWment fund. The institution
which he represents is 700 miles
east and 900 miles west distant
from the nearest Protestant col
lege.
In speaking of the particular ten
ant of the Mormon faith he said
that he did not wish to speak about
Mormonism in the manner that
orators would do 25 years ago, but
he wished to state the facts which
every Mormon himself would &C
cept as true and indeed be proud of.
In speaking of the Mormon God he
stated that they have a flesh and
blood God, a. polygamus God who
has many wives and many children
L, 8 anf1
that Christ was a polygamist and
that He married Mary and Martha
and the marriage at Canaan OF
Galilee, where He worked His first
miracle, was His own marriage.
Polygamy as it was revealed by
God to the Mormon church is re-
garded by them as the ideal state
for society and the church, and
that although the government for
bids its practice they hope for the
time when all men will accept it
In the meanwhile they have not
ceased its practice. The Mormon
draws distinction between practic-
ing polygamy and living it, practic-
ing is stin taking plural wives
while living is continuing to live
with those they have. The dif1i-
Guilty of throwing off the Mormon
faith is realized when it is remem-
bered that their God is a polyg-
anus God thus affecting the doc
trine of man. DR.. Reherd said
that his greatest hope is the edu-
cation of the young people within
Mormonism who would work q
real revolution within the body.
In speaking of his own work DR..
Reherd said that his college drew
students from four states, Wyom-
ing. Nevada, Idaho and Utah, from
the homes of apostate Mormons,
Catholics, Jews, and all types of
Protestant Christians. They have
IL professors, this year about one
hundred twenty-five students, four
buildings, and 200 acres of cam
pus Their constituency is quite
limited as in the whole state OF
Utah there are only 5000 Protest
ant Christians and II self support
ing churches. Westminster college
is about twenty-five years old and
while it is a Presbyterian college
it is assisted by the other denom-
nations. DIR. Reherd is seeking to
raise $4,000 for the war deficit of
1853, and later on an endow-
ment of 100000. At present the
endowment is only $4,000.

TEAMSTER HAS AN
ENCOUNTER WITH
MUSIC MERCHANT

J. r. Wade, a teamster in the
employ of the Rock Island Fuel
company and Thor Norberg, pro-
prietor of the Norberg Music house
were participants in a rough and
tumble encounter in the rear Of the
Safety building at noon today and
as result Judge d. J. Cleland will
hear a case in his court this after
noon.
According to the story of wit
nesses present when the argument
began, Wade, who was driving a
pair of mules, was too generous
with the whip he held in his hand
and Norberg, it is alleged, took Of
Tense at a remark made by Wade.
Inasmuch as the latter stands six
feet tall and Norberg himself an
athlete, the onlookers were given
some good entertainment-while it
lasted. A few short arm jabs by
both men and the contest developed
into a rough and tumble affair.
When taken to the station Wade,
it is claimed, told the police that
had used his boots in an
effort TO win victory thereby al
most causing painful injuries.
