An Elder With a Strong Pull.
Remarkable reports have been received at Salt
Lake City from Mormon elders who were in the South
Sea Islands when the recent tidal wave killed nearly
hundred people there. Elders Sheffield and Allen
had a truly remarkable experience, one well calculated
to show that the Mormon church must be the real
thing and its elders the special agents of Providence.
One of these most holy men (unfortunately the dis
patches do not say which one) writes of the dreadful
Btiirni as follows:
In order to avoid being swept from the land my
companion and I climbed a tree and hung there by
means of a rope which was tied to our waists. Trees
fell to the right, to the left, beyond and in front of us,
but our tree stood up, although a young one. and we
were not even struck by a tree falling. Who could
der-y our being protected by the hand of God?
The storm was increasing in volume and the natives
were wildly running to and fro, almost nude, their
clothing having been torn from their bodies. They
were asking, '-What shall we do?" We answered,
"Trust in the Lord." At this moment I told my com
panion that I felt the spirit of God resting upon me.
and that it prompted me to command the wind to
cease and the sea to be calm. He said. "Heed its
promptings."
I spolze, and as I was giving utterance, commanding
the wind to cease and the sea to be calm in the name
of Jesus and by authority of the holy priesthood, the
storm ceased.
This elder appears to have Dowie, Schlatter and the
others of their kind beaten by several blocks. It
would have been truly awful if the Lord had not taken
the wise precaution to have the necessary elder on the
right spot at the proper time. Otherwise the storm
might bo going on yet with the Powers Above help
lessly wondering how to stop it. It is unfortunate
that the elder didn't begin to feel the spirit before so
many lives had been sacrificed, but we must not seek
to probe to deeply into these mysteries. It is enough
thai the elder was there and was willing to operate
without imposing hard conditions either upon Provi
dence or the natives. Record.
Oklahoma Will Come In.
Ex-Delegate Dennis Flynn is undoubtedly correct
in hi3 prediction that Oklahoma will be admitted to
statehood by the congress which will meet next De
cember. It would have been admitted by the recent
congress had it been dealt with separately from New-
Mexico and Arizona. Py tying Oklahoma's fortune
with those of the other two territories she was left out
at the end of the term. Such a blunder, it is safe to
say, will not be submitted to by the people of Okla
homa in the incoming congress.
Oklahoma will be admitted to .statehood next win
ter. and the Indian Territory will come in with it as
part of the same state. Single statehood is what an
overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of the twin
territories want. Most of the politicians are against
single statehood. They want the offices to be as nu
merous as possible, so that they will give something
to each aspirant. This consideration has no influ
ence over the people of the two territories. They want
to have a large state, which will have a great influ
ence iu the Union from the outset. They are inter
ested in having the expenses of supporting the state
government diffused among as large a number of peo
ple as possible' It is to their interest to have their
community fill a good-sized place on the country's
map.
The only regret which the country had at the failure
of the omnibus statehood bill was at the exclusion of
Oklahoma for another year, which this would mean.
As the thing has been done, however, the public-spirited,
energetic citizens of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory are taking steps to have their communities
kept out of the entagling alliances with the other ter
ritories next winter, and admitted to single statehood
at that time. When admitted a year hence, the state
of Oklahoma will have in the neighborhood of 1,000,
000 iopIe, which is a larger population than any one
of these states Connecticut, Maine, Colorado, Flori
da, Washington, Rhode Island, Oregon, New Hamp
shire, South Dakota, North Dakota, Vermont, Utah,
Montana, Deleware, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada
will at that time. This will give Oklahoma a stand
ins among the states which will gratify the pride
of her alert, intelligent and enterprising citizens.
The Case of Plimley.
Piesident Roosevelt's withdrawal of the nomination
of William Plimley to bo assistant treasurer at New
York is highly to his credit. It is not every man,
whether in public life or outside of it, who will frank
ly confess an error to which he has committed himself
and at once do his b-st to repair it. In the case in
question the President's action is all the more note
worthy because Plimley, who had the strong backing
of Senator Piatt, had already been confirmed by the
senate and was waiting only to receive his commis
sion. The main charge against Plimley was that while
employed in the money-order bureau ot the New York
postotliee he had borrowed money from certain banks,
in one instance as high as $lri0,tHH), the loans being
given him presumably because he favored those baaks
with government deposits. He was also charged witli
borrowing money from his subordinates.
Such conduct would show conclusively that he was
unfit to be the occupant of so reponsible an office a
assistant treasurer of the United States.
President Roosevelt has already made it clear that
no man who, to his knowledge, is unfit can obtain any
office at his disposal, no matter how strongly political
backers may urge it, and his treatment of Plimley,
notwithstanding Piatt's protests, is nothing more than
an unusually emphatic expression of liis guiding
principles in the disposal of party patronage.

The autocrats of fashion, who are also the archi
tects of the female form divine, should not be allowed
to banish the "shirt waist girl" without some popu
lar protest
In all the wide range of feminine fancy and caprice
in the way of apparel nothing has found such secure
and lasting lodgment in the masculine heart as the
shirt waist. In its capacious and tlully mystery it ;
not only provides ample room for the imagination I
but it presents an agreeable and offtimes fascinating
concession to the masculine ideas of simplicity and
utility.
But the National Dressmakers' Association, now in
session in Chicago, has decreed tliaU.the shirt wai.-t
must go. If such a simple and utilitarian garment
is allowed to get a firmer grip on the femine mind it
means "'death to the business of dressmaking," says
one of the dressmakers' convention.
But can the dressmakers dislodge the shirt waist?
It is true that not every shirt waist is a "poem" or a
"dream." After all, the girl in the shirt waist is the
thing. Isn't it possible for the dressmakers to re
coup their losses in some other way and spare to us
the delightful remnant of feminine individuality and
independence known as the shirt waist girl.

(!rkat Britain is said to be groaninp-nnder the in
creased taxation due to the recent heavy drains made
on her purse for war purposes. The London papers
intimate that an effort should be made to distribute
this burden so that a little more of it should fall on
the colonies. The Saturday Review is of the opinion j
that Canada as a separate country would be obliged)
to maintain at heavy expense a fleet of vessels to pro-j
tect her merchant trade, and that according v she !
should pay more now for the support of the mother , O
country. This may seem all right in theory, but'O
whenever Great Britain gets ready to drop Canada for
nonpayment of taxes, our neighbors on the north will
never be put to the expense of building or buying a
new navy. All that will be necessary for them to do
will be to '"declare their intentions" and they will re
ceive their first papers, and a right royal welcome to
a country which is short on royalty and the burdens
of war, but long on patriotism and good, fellowship,
and our own white navy will look after their merchant
marine with all of the fidelity now displayed in look
ing after our own.

Tiikke is a disposition over the state '.o assess tim
ber lands at a considerable advance. No other kind
of property has advanced so rapidly in the last few
years as timber lands and they are today regarded as
gilt edge in the way of an investment. Large sums
of money have been invested in these lands and they
should pay their share of the taxes. The fact that
the railroad companies and other large corporations
have practically withdrawn any lands they may have
from the market indicate how these farsighted men
look on the timber question. If these timber lands
have become so valuable they should show it on the
assessment roll and relieve other nroperty from the
heavy burden it now bears in the way of taxation.
Justice demands that the timber lands should pay
more taxes than they have in the past. This is a
matter wherein the assessor will be supported by
public opinion.
Judge Seaks decided in Portland last week that
each lot has to he described and sold separately to
make a valid tax sale. That the law requires this
and aTiHid sale can not be had by selling the lota in
a block together or as a whole. If they have to lie
sold separately the assessment and advertising has to
be done separately. Still the Courier has been citing
Multnomah County as the place where they knew
how to advertise property correctly and less expensive
than Clackamas. Now that the courts have decided
that such a sale is not valid, was not the money
thrown away in advertising it? But if these sales are
not valid, it suits the real estate corporation and the
Courier too judging by the howl it has made.
