GOING AFTER
Mr.. SMOOT
Senate Involved in a Discus.
sion ds to the Utah Mans
Right to a Seat

Washington, Nov. 12-Immediately
upon assembling today the senate
plunged into discussion of the ques-
tion of the eligibility of Mr.. Reed
Smoot of Utah to a seat in the SEN
ate. The debate grew out of the re-
marks made yesterday by Mr.. Hoar
saying that petitions bearing upon Mr..
Smoot's case were as much out of
place as would similar petitions to
the supreme court of the United
States be in the interest of any case
before that tribunal.
Mr.. Dubois. of Idaho took issue to-
day with Mr.. Hoar's remarks and
presented his views in conection with
the petitions for Mr. Smoot's expul-
sion which were presented by himself.
After announcing the fact that his
views differ from those of Mr.. Hoar
as to the propriety of the petitions
on this subject, Mr.. Dubois proceeded;
Il contend" he said, that these
various objections of Christian men
and women have a right to petition
the senate and maintain their duty
10 do so. OF course. We all appreciate
that this is judicial question, which
must be determined by the facts, but
it is not an idle question, and it is
properly before the senate.
1T is the same question that was
involved in the case of the polygam-
Gus Roberts, for whose unseating by
the house of representatives many
petitions were filed. All the petition
:. 5 ask is that we study the case care
fully before passing upon it. Tney
know what they are doing. They rep
resent the moral thought of the coun-
try and should not be discouraged
ney scarcely expect to influence our
votes, but it is to be hoped that the
petitions Will at least have the effect
oI causing us to pause and give care
full attention TO their representations.
If the allegations now on file with
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions can be proven, | do not believe
there is a senator here who would
vote to have Mr.. Smoot continued in
his seat, but if they are not proven
| mink we would all unite IN asking
him to remain"

SPECIAL MEETING.
City Council Accepts Trus. From W.
c. T. v. and Gift from Public
Library.

At a special meeting of the city
council held last night, important &C
ton was taken regarding the old pub
lie library and the new city institu
ton.
A committee from the W. T. C. u.
consisting of Mesdames Shank and
Higgins, was present and in behalf OF
the local organization rendered to the
city the books and cases belonging to
the union on the condition that they
should be stored until the new library
building was opened. The offer was
accepted on that condition.
The previous tender by the trustees
of the public library of the books
and property of the institution was ex
planned by the mayor and by
one Of the trustees. The city
council voted to accept the offer made
by the library committee and decided
to store the property until it could be
used in the new building. This means
of course that the public library will
be closed until such time as the
Carnegie building is completed.

OUR TIMES.
Gan Answer to Eugene Fields "Old
Times


A poet sings of the good old days.
AS he turns his faded pages;
And true and bright, seems to shine
the light
That illumines the dead, past ages.
But our days excel those good old
days., 4s.x
When the old folk were youthful;
Our human kind is as pure Of mind,
Our speech and deeds are truthful.
They err who say that surdid gold
Has become mans ruling passion,
That every man and dame is swayed
By the soulless tyrant, fashion.
Our girls outshine those good old
girls"
As the gem outshines its setting;
They're true of heart and do their
part
With naught of fuss or fretting.
IT Mother Eve had owned their sand
We'd not today be shining;
They're mighty fine in any line
And jolly well worth winning.
Our boys discount the good old boys
In any way you take 'em,
AS brave and true, and manly, too,
AS the dear, good Lord can make
'em.
The birds still sing in summer time,
Moons smile in silver glory;
And our boys Still, with right good
will,
Repeat the old. old story.
Our men are wiser far than they
Who lived in vanished ages,
For not Of old was the age of gold,
Despite the hoary sages.
Our love compared with the good old
love y 44a
Is nobler, purer, better;
The love of self and greed of pelf
Has ceased our souls to fetter.
We fondly dream of the bygone days,
But bless the days we're knowing,
When man gives heed to his brothers
need,
Unselish love bestowing.
And so we think of our own good
days
A flood of joy breaks DER us,
As through our dreams float the gold
en- CLEANS
OF still better days before us.

The market took care of itself. In view
of the high price this is rather suggestive.
No one had to buy to keep the price up.
There were plenty of sellers TO keep II
down. New Orleans was firm, Liverpool
strong and spot markets the same as yes
terday. There IL as yet no weakness visi-
bic. When there is it will be time to sell
short. For the present, it looks as though
the market could be safely bought around
eleven cents, or in that region and profits
taken around eleven and quarter cents
This may continue until after the bureau
report on December 3rd. we hope it will
Everyone expects a bureau report OF less
than 10,4 900 bales. If as high as TO-
500 900 bales the market is likely to work
off some If near 10,000,000 bales prices
will start on the up tack once more. We
always encourage evening up before so I'M
portant a report as that OF December 3rd.
