OISE, Ida., Etec. 20.r There is a
(fy war now on among tho Gooding
tnWu an tlie church end of thai
crowd which has culminated, it is said,
rjnU demand for the resignation of
C(or:e C. Parkinson, who is the head
: tfihe Mormon church in Idaho, from j
i fhe State board of regents, which dc-
5fnd, it is said, was complied with.
' Th$ Idaho Scimitar, Senator Dubois's
piper, in its issue Saturday, prints the
', following regarding the row:
fWfcat the Scimitar Says.
It was announced In a previous is- j
Kt of this paper that George C. Park
.jtfon had tendered to the governor of
ftf atc his resignation of the State
blrercliy regency, bestowed upon him
tho governor,
illr. Parkinson's resignation was rc
fcuted antl It was quickly forthcom
tiit, as It should have been in the caso
of one clmrged with dishonesty In the
ministration of public affairs.
'Governor Gooding owes It to the eon-
illtuency that placed him In a position
to make mistakes In his appointive ca
Efttlty to give publicity to the delln
Ltncles of this public sen-ant. that the
Jsatlre story mav be known to those who
t'Jfeve the right to know It, that they
Vtaiy be able to judge of the nufflclency
fat the punishment that halts with Mr.
Parkinson's enforced retirement from the
service
lIf the governor has found sufficient
ftauit lo justify him In the course he
Bus taken, should not tho church of
W'lus Christ of Latter-day SalnLs also j
like cognisance of tho offense and re
lit Its servant, in compliance with Us '
bast that It always meets sin with
IMUFt requital?
Mr. Parkinson holds one of the high
t,',posltlons that Mormondom can be
ttor In the state of Idaho. He is pres-Ifltnt-of
the Oneida stako of ZIon and
in hi cliurchly capacity ho ministers
to tin spiritual needs of a consldera
Me'flock of confiding devotees.

IT Church to Depose Parkinson.
KTlt. is stated here on pretty good au- i
tiorily that tho church is going to dis- t
Kje of Mr. Parkinson. Ever since !
Buhop Budge was deposed and sent to
Oj'LoRaii temple, Parkinson has been
e recognized church leader in Idaho.

We in church political deals in this
te. As a reward from tho church
XepQblican administration. he was
we a member of the State board of

Wen forced, it is evident I hat a row is
oo.
IfrThij hierarchy alwavs wants an em- I
Jsry at court wherever it rules, and

Idaho is well known. With Park- I
jDjon at outs with church Republican
readers, it if course, means that a new

OUTLOOK FOR 1908-
IS BRIGHT AT 0GD.EN
Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN', Dec. 20 Notwithstanding the
recent depressed ilnancial condition, local
merchajits declare tho holiday trade ex
ceeded that of last year, and that there
has been but little falling off of the busi
ness after tho holidays as compared with
the same period last year.
A number of citizens are inclined to
lak a pessimistic vlow of the business
outlook during the early purt of the com
ing yoar, but tho merchants are not fear
ing any great Hlump.
The railroad companies arc contemplat
ing a number of Improvements during
the spring, which will give employment
J to a large number of laborers. Bcsldos
a number of other enterprises aro on foot,
and It Is not believed there will be mnny
men out of employment who really care
to work.
The banks of the city aro sanguine re
garding tho business outlook. Already
the local clearing house has announced
that beginning January 1. the scrip now
In circulation will be gradually retired,
and "real money" substituted.

BAD ROADS FOR
MOTOR TRAVELING
With the excoption of tho approaches
to largo cities Chicago, Cleveland,
Buffalo and New York I found f ow
good roads in any state except Massa
chusetts. In Illinois no pretonso is
made- at good roads. Between Ham
mond, Ind and South Bend thero is a
good road. Por thirty miles east of
South Bend tho road is fair. Then as
you approach the Ohio state lino tho
roads fall into tho Illinois habit of be
ing cither deep dust or deep mud. We
had much fun finding tho Napoleon,
Ohio, pike. "Whenever we complained
of bad. roads in that section of Ohio
people would say:
''Yes, the roads hereabouts aro pret
ty bad. but just wait till you strike
the Napoleon pike. Then you will see
something."
Naturally this sort of talk aroused
lively expectations, but alas, when we
nrrivod &t the Napoleon pike wo did not
know it. For that celebrated road was
made of mud and dust, just like the
other Ohio roads. All the way from
Missouri tho good roads woro just fifty
miles ahead of us. "Tho roads aro
bad here, but it is all right when yon
get to Blank." That was always some
forty or fiftj' miles beyond tho place
where wo got tho information.
A common delusion that seemed to
exist everywhere except in New York
was that New York roads arc good
for motoring. Tho truth is that New
York has some of the worst roads we
oncounterod. Tho road east from Buf
falo is splendid for thirty miles, then
it is as bad as bnd can b'e until UtJea
is reached. After Uticn the subject
won't bear discussion. It ib not possi
ble for a motorist to speak of tho roads
around TJtica without indulging in lan
guage that should not be used. Tho
approach to Utiea. tho so-called "Al
bany pike" consists of two strips of
stone slabs, with a. ditch between the
two rows of slabs and also a ditch on
either side of thorn; this compels people
to travel on these two strips of stone.
And tho pike is a hundred times worse
than the famous liocky road to Dublin,
for deep IioIch and ruts have boon worn
in those stone slabs and you bump up
and down in a way thnt may be good
for your liver, but" is very hard on au
tomobiles. Outlook.
I CLAIMS SHE KNOWS
I CHICKEN LANGUAGE
I OAKLAND, Dec. 29. There Is one
' woman in California who says slio can
understand tho language of chickens not
all the multitude of sounds, but thero are
olght distinct sounds that indicate. anger,
pleasure, content, love, sickness and a
few othor expressions of chicken thought.
Mrs. F. E. Bemts, formerly In charge of
the Smithsonian work at Stanford uni
versity, asserts that she possesses this
unique talent, and that it has come to
hor after years of work In her poultry
yard in East Oakland.
Mr3. Bemls sat ln front of hor beauti
ful white chickens at the Alameda county
I poultry show this afternoon.
And aa she spoke a husky crow pene
trated tho show pavilion.
"That is a crow of delight," she said,
"because there Is a variation In the
tone peculiar to my car."
"Look." she cried, turning suddenly,
"that rooster is laughing his mouth Is
wide open. Anger i6 expressed differ
ently; by a different tone and the crowor
shows dlfferont emotions. His feet
shufflo and his very air shows that he la
excited.
"Hens, too. have their language. It
is varied, but It Is easier for me to un
derstand their language than the rough,
uncouth parlance of a roostor. People
are prone to believe that I can sit by
these cages and talk to my favorite hens.
They are mistaken. For Ave years I have
studied thlu languago and with oomc scl
enco attached to my Investigations. There
aro eight distinct sounds I know have
meanings."

CHARGES OF SLAVERY
I DENIED BY P0RTU6UESE
Allege That Natives in Their
West African Provinces
Are Well Treated.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29. The Portu
guese 'legation tonight replied to the
statements rccontly made by Joubort
Picnaar, a former officer In the Boer
j army, as to the oxlstence of tho slave
trade In Portuguese West Africa. The
statement la a denial of the allegations,
and saya ln part:
"Jouberl Picnaar was a refugee In
Portugal during the closing stages of tlie
Boer war. When pence was mado he,
In common with many othor Boors, set
tled in tho south of the Portuguese col
ony of Angola. It soon became apparent
that these Bocrn, ousted from the Trans
vaal by the British, had a plan on
foot to seize part of tho Portuguese col
ony ln West Africa and to set up thero
a now Independent Boer republic. This
was In accordance with tho constant
practice of trekking further afield ln
ordor to establish a new state each time
conditions became unfavorable in thoir
old haunts for their peculiar mode of
existence.
"It woa further ascertained that Pic
naar was tho prime mover In this con
spiracy. For this reason, and for no
other, waa ho expelled from Portuguese
territory.
"Plenaar's complaints as to tho ar
bitrary confiscation of his property and
cattlo aro merely tho vaporlngs of his
defeated ambltlona.
As to Death Bato.
"No Information has been received at
the legation aa to the alleged mortality
nmong a batch of GOO laborers sent to
the Island of Principe, of which only
twolvo survived at the cud of ten
months, according to Plenaar's story. It
is possible that some vessel taking na
tives to the Island, may have been wrock
cd on the coast and that onlv twelve
managod to get ashore, or It" may be
that one of tho .epidemics which havo
sometimes wiped out whole villages ln
equatorial territory broke out among tho
men. To that extent the story may be
true. But It Is nlmply absurd on the
face of it to say that any such loss of
life could have occurrod normally or
through prcvontable causes. Even set
ting aside all considerations of human
ity, no ono would incur the heavy ex
pense entailed In transporting laborers
to the Islands were they, as a rule, ex
pected to become unfit for work almost
aa soon aa they arrived,
"That little is le'ft undono for tho Island
of St. Thome to Insure the health and
comfort of tho native laborers, Is the
opinion given to the world by nearly all
distinguished foreigners who havo lately
visited the Island, nnd among others by
; such men as Michael Chevalier, Gravlcr.
Schultc, Spongier. Montet, and by that
distinguished British ofllclal and explor
er, Sir Harry Johnston.
"The mortality among the natives, not
only on the Islands, but all through tho
length and breadth of equatorial Africa,
where the laborers como from. Is very
high; It Is even appallingly so when com
pared to that of moro temperate zonos.
But whether this arises from the natural
features of tho country or from some pe
culiar disability of the races by which It
Is Inhabited, It Is evident that nn im
provement in tho conditions can only bo
gradually romoved, even supposing an
Improvement la possible. Tho death rate
among the native laborers on the, much
abused island of St. Thomo is no higher
than that of tho natives working ln tho
mines of tho Transvaal, ln a comparative
ly good and temperate climate. Even on
tho most unhealthy plantations of the
Island death does not exact so heavy a
toll as It does on the central African na
tives employed In thoso mines."

MOTHER'S AJIMS.
Mother's arms you recollect how they
soothed you Into rest.
As you lay with weary head pillowed deep
upon her breast?
Mother's arms encircled you nt each fan
cied grlof or wrong.
Smoothud away your boyish cares as she
crooned a slumber song.
When tho world soemd harsh and cold,
and you met but stern rebuff.
When the road to Manhood teemed with
obstructions prim and rough,
And you longed for sweet relief from all
worries and ulnrms,
Then It was you crept away to tho rost
of mother's arms.
Mothor's arm protected you when you
longed for sympathy;
Held you in their warm embrace when
, you mot adversity;
Turned you to their gentle clasp when
you sought a word of cheer.
Or the days wero filled with dread, with
gTlm shadows lurking near.
Mother's arms wero your support when
the world had turned awuy,
And the blackonlng clouds of night
seemed to hide the light of day;
When, despairingly, you sought for a
friend sincere and true;
Then It was that mother's nrmo tenderly
encircled you. ;
Mother's nrms! Ah. when you went wan
dering afar from homo.
And Into some wayward path heedlessly
you cbnncod to roam;
Whon the peace and tost you sought did
not bring thu hidden Joy,
Thou It was you longed lo bo once again
a little boy;
Just a boy. as In the days when you
ran to hor for rest,
And you Boggled close to hr, with your
head upon hor breast;
And you longwl for ln;r sweet kl.vs on
your upturned, troubled face, .
And for mother's arms again, with their
sheltering embrace.
Mother's arms! As you and I wander
where tho road is steep.
And adown to the path of life, groping
dlr.slly, we creep,
As we .fcol lliu hand of tlmo laid upon
us. and we grow
Weary from the dally stilfc, then It Is
wo long to go
Back unto the Days that Were, when
th world was glad and gay.
When the sunuhlno kissed our ' foot a
romped, care free, ut play,
Back again to childhood's days; buck to
all Its mystic charms, ,
Back, to feel that old time thrill in the
clasp of mother's arms, i

office, ln which I am seconded by tho
vice-consul general and tho deputy con
sul gancral now In charge, that every
deserving case should be taken care of
even at pcrsonnl cxponso to ourselves.
Believes Complaint Unjust.
"I have no doubt that Ray, If ho ap
plied for relief and deserved It, has been
maintained at tho personal bounty of the
men ho complnlns of. So far as his
charges of 'shanghaiing' are concerned, It
should bo explained that a consular of
ficer could havo no positive motlvo for
refusing to Investigate such a caso, but
ln the case of a British vessel the Amer
ican officer would, by comity and fair
ness, carrv on his Investigation In con
Junction with the British office. The con
ferences of tho British and American of
flcors, of which Ray complained, can only
be construed as Indicating that a fair In
vestigation was mndb. Tho unsupported
statement of Ray would not avail against
that of the officers of tho ship, of course,
ln any Investigation in Rio, any more than
In a court of law."
Troubles of Consul.
Consul-Gcneral Anderson called atten
tion to tho fact that all such cases as
that of Ray cannot be relieved at gov
ernment cxponso unless the unfortunate
comes from an American vessel, or Is
by "habit and calling an Amorlcun sea
man," In which category Ray would not
come, even had be been able to prove
his American citizenship, which was es
sential in a case lllco that ho rotates.
Tho consul-general said: "It should bo
noted that Ray, according to his state
ment, was off a British vessel, and. such
being tho caso, under our law he was
a British seaman and entitled only to
British relief. Then thero aro no Ameri
can vessels running between Rio de Ja
neiro and tho United States, and tho only
way to send needy mon home to the
United States is by paying their way.
which, In Ray's case, could not bo don6
except aa a matter of private bounty.
Upon his own statement of facts Ray
could havo received no relief of a pub
lic nature from the American consular
office, and It was the duty of the British
consular officer to send the boy home,
which he did probably at tho solicita
tion of tho American offlco, to whom Ray
gives no credit for his services.
"Tho American consular officers all
over the world are at a great personal
expense, often amounting to a material
portion of their salaries, for tho relief of
Indigent Americans, who cannot be re
lieved at public expenso under tho law,
but as a matter of course, where hun
dreds apply it Is Impossible that all
should bo taken caro of In such manner."
THE DEEAMSMITH.
Under the light of the moon and stars,
When tho last little babe Is aslcop.
Tho dreamsmlth stands at his glowing
forge
And swings with a mighty sweep
Tho hammer that rings on the anvil of
gold.
Ab all night long it glows
With the beautiful figures of fancy he
makes
For the children ho loves and ho
knows.
Good dreams and bad dreams, and dark
dreams and gay.
Dreams for the young and the old.
All night while the forges of fancy aro
lit I
Ho beats on his anvil of gold;
Tho sparks fly to right and the sparks
liy to left,
And they aro the meteors, thoy say.
That fall from tho deeps of tho beautiful
blue
That travel away nnd away.
For the good little boys and tho good
little girls
He takes the line fancies and rare
And molds In tho flame of his light and
his love
Tho droums that aro fondest and fair;
But the bad Httlo boys and tho bad llttlo
girls
He gloomily wondors nnd grins
as ho fashions them shapes full of hor
ror and night
To punish them well for their sln3. I
For mamma, whose hands aro so tired '
with thoir toll,
He fashions- a dream full of rest.
And you seo by her smile as ulio slum
bers tho while
How far she has gone on tho quest
For the long lanes and song lanes whoro
birds aro abroad
And the roses of summer time bloom
She dreams, and tho dreamsmlth at anvil
and forgo
Strikes light through tho shadow and
gloom.
Under the light of the moon and the
stars
The dreamsmlth, grown brawny and
old.
At tho forge and tho flame makes the
patterns of light
And strikes on his anvil of gold;
Molting dreams for the world and thi
slocpcrs who sleep
In city and country nnd town
For the bnd llttlo children a darkness j
and dread, j
For the good little chlldron a crown!

f balancing of conditions in the West in the making of an' 'j Hi

thing to offset the missionary work I performed in my youth B
and ignorance. If this narrative will influence one Mormon to Hf

will influence one Latter-day Saint to decline to sustain ac- .j. in
knowledged law-breakers as heavenly anointed and inspired Wi
leaders of his church, if it will lighten the burden and cheer ML
the way of one polygamous mother awakening from her first .j. n
f dream of love tp a knowledge that the inscription in the 'New ' M
and Everlasting Covenant' is the inspiration of hell and not of ' 1
4. heaven; if it will help one poor wayfarer on life's troubled sea l
! to break the chains of superstition and priestcraft with which ffij
he is bound, then will I feel that I have done something for R8
the cause of humanity, and then will I welcome all the curses f
