DOES NOT END THE WARFARE local interest lias been taken In the decision of the supreme court uf Idaho In the case ui Dudley In the suit the right 1). Toners y versus Alfred Budge. fifth district of the aa serve of th uf Budge to Judge state was contested by Tuncray. The charge was made that Budge was a polygamist and therefore Inelllglble to hold offic under the state constitution. The gist of the decision uf the supreme court In the case Is contained In the following paragraph: We conclude that the framers f the Constitution, and the people In Its adoption. In employing the words and patriarchal marriages bigamous, plural, celestial meant and Intended to prohibit and forbid a man having more than one wife at any one time under whatever name nr designation he might choose to style his mar' rlage; and that the use of each of those words was directed against bigamous and polygamous marriages. celestial or patriarchal marriage, therefore, In order to com wtihln the provision of the Constitution must be bigamous or polygamous. One who teaches or practices having mure than one wlfa at any one time or belongs to an organisation that trachea such a doctrine la disqualified for the duties of an elector, and consequently fa: holding any civil office under the lawa of this state. One point seems to be settled by the decision. That la that a polygamist la not elllglble to office In the state of Idaho. Another point that seems to be nettled ia that celestial marriages, or marriages for eternity, as religious rites merely do not constitute polygamy In the eyes of the supreme court of Idaho. This should go far to settle the controversy that has cursed the Gem state for years. It should also go far toward eliminating thla eternal Mormon and question from the politics of Idaho. To the Btate Journal the decision of the court seems reasonable and sensible. If It does not cover the case completely, then further resort should be taken to the courts rather than to the sensational papers and the stump. antl-Morm- UTAH AND FIGHTING BOB City Is at the f:nt with that Utah unltt with Lon Angeles In the purchase of a medal for Admiral Robley.

P SAY A GOOD WORD FOR UTAH. 1907. THE MOTE IN THE EYE The New T FOR NEXT WEEK WASHINGTON. March 28. One of tlie moat important political events uf the coming week will be the national convention of the people' party, to be ' held in St. Louis on Thursday. While the Populists are less numerous than a decade ago, and will play a small inI tart in the campaign, considerable terest Is manifested In the selection of a presidential candidate to lead the scattered remnants of the party to defeat. Thomas Watson of Georgia, will j probably be accorded this honor, although there la some talk of nomi- - j nating Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin. Rumor of a coalition between the Populists and Hearst's Independence league have been rife of latte, but ara apparently without foundation. Big Fairbankpa Day. The most imurtant Republican convention of the coming week will be that uf Indiana, to be held in Indianapolis on Wednesday and Thursday. The convention will asemble cm Wednesday afternon and select four delegates at larga to the national convention. These delegates will be Instructed to support the presidential aspiraFairbanks. All tions of if the twenty-si- x delegates from the thirteen districts of Indiana have already been instructed for Fairbanks. On Thursday the convention will nominate candidates for governor and other state offices Busy Time in New York. ' The political warfare will have Its Inception In New Tork state on Tuesday. when all parties will hold primaries. Delegates will be elected to the asembly district conventions. The latter will choose delegatee to the state conventions which In turn will chose delegations to the national conventions. Principal Interest attaches to New Tork City, where the Repub liens factions headed by Herbert Parsons and Odell ara engaged In a struggle for control of the primaries Tammany will control the Democratic primaries In the metropolis. Hearst's Independence league will also hold primaries on ths asms force and effectiveness. It is always an easy matter to make corrections in household: it is not so easy to make corur rections at home. When Salt Lake City has stamped out her own gambling, when her neighbors have been given an opportunity to forget the ilcWhirter episode, then Ogden will be in a better frame of mind to take suggestions and advise from tliat quarter. Listen now to the Herald: Sone of tlie good people of Ogden have inaugurated a movement for the suppression of public gambling in that city. Tlie Herald wishes them all success And certainly the city and county authorities should extend every aid within their power. It is not hard to put an end to public gambling houses Ordinarily all that Is necessary Is for the mayor to send a jsiltceman around with orders to close the places and keep them closed. If the gambli-rrefuse to obey such aa order, then the police have tlie authority to smash in the doors of their rooms, carry out tlie gambling paraphernalia and make a bonfire of 1L It would not be necessary for the Ogden police to take this action In more than one Instance. The other outlaws of the green cloth would quickly close their doors and sequester tlie tools of their unlawful trade. It Is absurb for any peace officer to say that public gambling cannot be stopped. The officer who makes such a statement Is either Incompetent or venal. Nor Is It the duty of hte private Ictlsen to go around hunting up evidence of lawbreaking. There Is nut a juillceman In Ogden or a deputy sheriff In Weber county who does not know that public gambling Is iennltted In Ogden, and has been permitted there for yeara fhe most casual visitor to Ogden knows that this Is true. There are several gambling houses In Ogden to which all comers unless they wear a police uniform or conspicuously display a deputy sheriff's badge, are cordially welcomed and. If possible, stripped of their It Is the plain duty of the authorities to close money. them st once. Tlie theory that public gambling helps a town la a very much mistaken one. The professional gambler Is of no mor service to an urban population than a cinch bug, boll weevil or a san Jose scale to a farming community. He la. In other words a peat that should be pursued There la no Justification relentlessly and exterminated. whatever for his continued existence. He la a detriment to any city In which he makes hla habitat. The Herald hopes the crusade that has been started date. In Ogden will continue until Ita purpose has been accomWhere Cannon Gets Votes plished.

It la asked even now, to remove the duty on wood pulp shipped In from Canada when It would result In giving the paper trust the advantage of free raw material and at the Mine time enable the trust to charge the same old prices for Ita manufactured output? it la true the president advocates an immediate reduction of the duty on manufactured paper, but he will find If the Btate Journal mistake not, that he will get no reduction In the duty on wper until a hill making general tariff reductions la passed. Winfield Boutt Hancock, away back in 1880, when he was running for the presidency on the Democratic ticket. Mid that tariff was a local Issue." The general was laughed out of court for saying It, but the truth of hla words haa been emphasised every day that has since passed. President Roosevelt will find It to be a local issue when he undertakes to remove the duty on wood pulp and print paper. The pulp makers and the paper makers will say to the president, why do you discriminate against us? Why not advocate the removal of the duty on !uni' her. on steel, on leather, on tin, on woolen goods, on wool and on sugar? Then President Roosevelt will discover tliat It ia not popular to advocate In Pennsylvania the removal of tlie duty on steel, or to advocate In Michigan the removal of the duty on lumber, or to advocate In Louisiana the remval of the duty on rice, or to advocate In Utah the removal of the duty on wool or augar; and so It will go around the circle. After the president haa wrestled with the problem In all Ita phases he will conclude that It Is really a local Issue: that the protected Interest! are so closely Intere-lockthat tlie only way to foee concessions Is to force concessions all the way down the line. The advocates of tariff reform will watch the experiment of placing wood pulp on the free list with Intense Interest. At the present time and on the surface the placing of wood pulp on the free list has the appearance of an attempt to make a breach In the tariff wall, an attempt that will be opposed by every protected Interest behind the wall. The Btate Journal Is not so sanguine aa to figure free trade even In spots In the Immediate future.

Thomas f salt Lake City has been asked Tor Inform, tlon by the chief architect's office at Washington as to the amount of room that would be required to house the government offices that at present an forced to seek office room outside tht local federal building. The request is believed to be the commencement of stepe toward enlarf-in- g the local building so that it ra accommodate all the government offices in the city. At present there an some five departments that are unable to find room in the federal building, and the sums paid In rentals and tor other expenses of the outside office are not small.

This la a good move. The meeting of the educators In large numbers from all parts of the country affords a tine opportunity for advertising the state.
