Democratic newspapers are clam
oring for the revision OF the tariff.
Of late years the two great parties
have lined up on the tariff question,
the Republicans working for a
schedule that would incidentally
protect and encourage home indus
tries and the Democrats advocating
a tariff for revenue only without
regard to the feature of protection.
The Republicans are in power and
can modify the existing tariff rates
at will. The opinion seems to be
gaining ground that commission
of experts should be created to deal
with tariff schedules. 1t is claimed
that the tariff, referred to such a
commission, would no longer be a
partisan question and could be
dealt with more intelligently and
with less disturbance to business
than when the question is consider
ed in party conventions and eau

Elder Smoot. a Mormon apostle

Elder Smoot, Mormon apostle,
is a candidate for United States
Senator from Utah. The legislature
is Republican and Mr.. Smoot is an
active and influential member of the
Republican party. 1t is said that he
has majority ofthe Legislature COM
mitted to vote for him for this i'm
portant office. Now the ministers
of the other religious sects in Utah
are opposing his election because he
is Mormon. 1t is not contended
that Smoot is not an able and honor
able man, and as such would be an
honor to his state in the Senate, and
it is conceded that he is not a polyga-
mist. These preachers who oppose
his election do so on the averred
ground that he is a Mormon, and as
such upholds the doctrines of his
church, among which is that one
that plurality of wives is allowable.
Will the United States Senate pre-
clude man from taking his seat as
a member of that body because he
belongs to Norman church? 1t
would be supposed that these preach
ers assume as much, or they would
not push campaign against his
election (Which seems to be fore
gone conclusion) and oppose his adj
mission to the Senate. 1t is probable
that the Senate will decide, in case
he applies for admission, that his
name is considered a greater object
ton to his becoming member of that
august body than his religion; but,
they can have him change his name
which can easily be done to Smote,
and thus he can "get back" at his
enemies.

A Girls Influence On Young Men
Friends.


Here is part of a young girls
lite OF which the large majority
think very little. To amuse and
entertain each other seems the chief
end for which young men and wo-
men come together, and neither sex
seems regardful of what may result
from what they say or do, SO long
as the laugh is a merry one; the
young girl feels that she is admired,
the young man is gratified by her
evident satisfaction in his society.
The setting ones self up as a
sort OF reformer and making all the
young men whom you know feel as
If they were under microscope
which will disclose all their defects,
will not aid you or them. The right
step to take first is to set up high
and noble standard for yourself,
and then demonstrate it's charms by
your own attraction.
One way in which a pleasant girl
friend can help a mans life is by
the character of her conversation.
What one wants to accomplish is to
speak freely and pleasantly about
things which are delightful to talk
about, to avoid gossip and evil
speaking of others, to use clean,
pure English without slang, and to
lead the. conversation into imper-
sonal channels.
She should know enough of current
events to speak Understandings
about the things that we all ought
to know, and which all young men
like to discuss-the things which
stir the nations heart-the events
which rouse the attention of the
world-the books which excite pub
lie attention-the beautiful things
of the earth which are about YOU
the good deeds of good men and
women who are helping the world
along-to check an unkind tale
bearing or insinuation, or especially
any criticism of girls you know.
A man goes away refreshed from a
visit which has made him think and
talk of such things, and especially
if he has had a sweet, bright young
girl to talk to.
The world our young men have to
work in is a hard, rough place, and
they have no time to think quietly
over what lies outside of the con-
fines of their days work. To find
that their girl companions have al,
ways some new, interesting thing,
sincerely and simply good to talk
about, is a great source of enjoy
ment and big step upward.
"A young girl in whose society
young men feel that they are sure
to receive some inspiration to i'm
prove themselves is surely good
for something" which helps the
progress of the world. Ledger
Monthly.

A Dilemma.

Kansas has law prohibiting the
sale Of liquor. To sell liquor there
fore, is a violation of the law, a
defiance to the will of the people
who had it enacted, and proclama-
ton of anarchisn.
The officials who swear to enforce
the law, but permit it's violation by
liquor dealers, perjure themselves.
The place of such perjurers is the
penitentiary. If their public and
official perjury goes unpublished,
why should any man be punished
for perjury?
Mrs. Nation smashes saloons.
To protect the saloons against her
fury is to protect what is unlawful.
The law says the saloon must go,
and Mrs. Nation says it must go; so
she and the law are in harmony.
Her attempt to abolish the saloon
is an attempt 10 do what the police
ought to do, and what the people
and the law say shall be done. To
arrest her for taking the law IN her
own hands presents dilemma, for
the arresting her and protecting
the saloon the authorities publicly
declare that the law shall be vlolat-
ed. She violates the law, and thus
does what the authorities declare
shall be done. How then can the
authorities arrest her?
When the authorities sanction the
open violation of the law, what be-
comes of law and authority and who
will respect them? If in one in
stance the law is to be violated,
why not in others? Are saloon
keepers privileged class that they
can break the law with impunity,
while other citizens are to be de-
prived of the same privilege?
Stop the smashing of the saloons
by leaving no saloons to be smashed.
Turn the perjurers out of Office and
into prison, end the law-breaking
by saloon-keepers, and then insist
on obedience to the law equally by
all classes. -Homoletic Review.
