Show "THE SHADOWS. ' The Idaho World has some amusing remarks to make anent The Tribune's warnings to the beautiful neighbor on the north concerning hierarchical Investment In-vestment In commercial enterprises. The World is rollicking good fun. It sometimes does not get angry and sputter sput-ter uselessly but owns the point when fairly made by an opponent. It is decent de-cent enough to publish a considerable part of an article from this paper before be-fore replying to It, and The Tribune will be equally considerate by publishing publish-ing in another column of this itsue the ciomng paragraphs of an editorial in the World which accepts with frisky glee the Mormon church co-operation In Iduho's Industrial affairs, The (losing sentence of that quotation quota-tion from the World Is: When We :m- sure in see tin li slim-lows It will be lime enough to train our muscles to swat the "hideous hierarchy" and put It to slep in the llrst round But h a good-natured neighbor will not be hurt If The Tribune says that our cas is proved by the World's willingness will-ingness to wait until it sees the shadows, shad-ows, before It begins to offer resistance to hierarchical dominion. Dear young World, the hierarchical purpose stalks about of euch darkness that It makes no shadow, Il Is so black that on the darkest night a "black mammy ' woul l make a shadow upon it denser than the western stretching shadow of the might Tetons on the brightest sunshine sun-shine morning that Idaho ever saw. The hierarchical purpose In politics sends no shadow before. You merely know It when it has arrived, when It has entered in and taken possession; and when the long cold winter night warns you to seek your ov n shelter you And the door dosed and the comfort of the house within enjoyed by the Intruder. The guileless World win sometime discover it evidently as 'opet t fjnd out by personal experience that no good can conn to Idaho by having In- vested within its borders the money which is fll hed hy the Mormon autocrats auto-crats from the poi kets of Mormon toll; that the Mormon sugar monopoly is a burden which grows more and more exacting ex-acting year by year giving to the farmer far-mer less and taking from the sugar consumer more and moi e as Its apf" -tlte increases; it knows how to wait its political hour and then get the- man who wants to put It to sleep In one round (to quote the World's choice language) where he has to knock out his own bread and butter or his own personal aspirations or his own friendships and ambitions for other men, before he can reach the hierarchical solar plexus. The Idaho World is not nearly so amused as is The Tribune at the situation. situa-tion. Here Is the World with several years of experience as a newspaper and apparently edited hy nun of more than average intelligence talking about letting let-ting the Mormon hierarchy's power giciw lii Idaho until lis shadow-Is shadow-Is big enough to be seen before be-fore attacking It, and then attacking attack-ing It If it Is a gund thing at all. why ever attack if Why ever put it tci Bleep? Why not u t lis shadow grow bik-K'' r ami bigger? The answer to those questions hy the World will afford further fur-ther amusement. We will be glad to learn from our Idaho contemporary what possible excuse thei CAT be for ever making any Interferi nee with Mormon tiurch monopoly of business a in I politics in Idaho If the present In-vasion In-vasion Is a good thine: for that State. Whj not I' l the "hideous hierarchy" swallow tin- whole State so that its 'shadow ' will be big enough to cover tie- v hoi. state like a pall |
