SENATOR SMOOT TALKS
ON FIGHT AGAINST HIM

Sincere But Mistaken in Their
Allegations.

NEW YORK. Dec. Ex-senator Reed
SmoOt of Utah was at the Holland
House in company with Mrs Smoot
and Mrs. Shoots mother and sister
yesterday, and before he returned last
night to Washington he made a few
remarks touching upon the efforts of
the members of the various women's
organizations to have him expelled
from the United States Senate.
Il bear those women who are fight
ing me no i'll will. said the Senator
Il believe they are actuated by mo-
tives that are perfectly sincere do
not blame them. but I say they are
caught up and carried away by a hue
and cry, and that they don't know how
false are the allegations against me- If
1t were possible I should some lime
like to have these women take a look
into my home. If they could see my
home life and see my children and meet
Mrs. Smoot, do not believe they would
waste more time signing petitions and
organizing anti-Smoot societies"
Senator Smoot declared that 1t was
yet too early to give an estimate of
President oosevelt's strength in Utah.
but that Utah would give the Repub-
lican nominees for President and Vice

ceded that there was considerable
Hanna talk in the West. and he mar
veled much at the anti Roosevelt senti-
ment he had become aware of by his
visit to this city.
Senator SmOot spoke enthusiastically
of the situation for the Republicans next
year in the far Western States. He
said that at the last election the north
ern counties of Idaho. which had never
given notable Republican pluralities IN
their history, this year returned such a
large vote for the Republican candi-
dates that the Rep Iblican leaders OF
the State were amazed; 1t was far, far
beyond their fondest hopes.

Purpose of It's Work.

Appropriations for the bureau should
carry with them ample authority for the
employment Of special attorneys and
special examiners possessing the quail
ficatiOns necessary TO meet particular
exigencies in the work. For this reason
it is strongly urged that future appro-
priations. in so far as they relate to
special attorneys and special examiners,
be made in the form Of a lump sum.
with such limitations only as ara essen
tial to good Administered ton.
The creation Of the bureau was view
ed by some with alarm. or at least with
suspicion. II was feared that the powers
granted might be hastily or insdvisedly
used to the injury OF legitimate enter
prise. No such purpose actuated the
trainers Of the law; no such purpose
viii control its administration.
Many corporations have been granted
important privileges by the public. and
some Of these corporations, through con-
solidation of capital. have acquired ex-
tensive influence In the Industrial af-
fairs of the country. Such privileges. IL
used improperly, not only retard the
progress Of industry. but frequently
breed corruption in politics. The Iegis-
latiDn creating the Bureau of Corpora
tions was the expression of a popular
belief that further safeguards should be
provided for the regulations of business
enterprises to which special privileges
have been granted by the people. Pub
Lefty viii disclose unfair dealing. dis
honesty. and corruption; but if prop
erly enforced il will not disclose to
trade competitors the fruits of indf-
vidual thrift and initiative, nor permit
IN any other manner the invasion of pri-
vate rights.

the quantities are limited and unduplicatable At

tablish an Office for the collection and
distribution of foreign tariff informa-
ton, this being one of the directions
in which the departments work can
apparently be extended with great ad-
vantage The estimates propose an ap-

obtained. There is at present no Gov
eminent Office in the United States en-
gagged systematically in the work of
collecting information regarding for
eign tariffs and making that information
available TO our exporters. The depart
ment has received frequent inquiries
for such information and has been i'm
pressed with the importance OF pro-
viding an agency to supply it.
An effort Is being made to secure a
