he left there his friends were fully con.

ONE VIEW OF 1T.

Tacoma Ledger: Scant has been the
patience of the thinking public with
the plan to bar Reed Smoot from the
senate on account of his religious be-
lief. That the Mormon church in any
community is in the ascendancy polit-
ically is a fact deeply to be regretted,
but since it is, there is no utility in
making a fuss about it. The good
people who object on moral grounds
are at liberty to send on their mis-.
sionaries. These will do no good what
ever. The only way to overcome the
Mormon church is to send in an in
telligent immigration. Mr.. Smoot
has a full right to- a senatorship. The
Mormons give him the senatorship,
but they are citizens, and if they abide
by the law, theoretically entitled to
vote for whom they please. AS a
matter of fact, they will vote for the
person the church orders them to
support, but this is a circumstance
of which official cognizance cannot
be taken. And after all, the Nor
mon must De given some credit. Dur
ing the war with Spain a Utah battery
was sent to the Philippines. Nobody
asked the religious belief of the mem
bers when they enlisted. They did
brave and gallant service, and they
came back with the respect of every
regiment hat had been in the islands
with them. Every member of that
battery was a Mormon, and no doubt
that from the pay he received the
church got it's 1.-THE. 1t is stated by
an exchange that religious prejudice
directed against Catholics and Jews
is sufficient without the introduction
of a new element. This can hardly
be considered a fair view. There is
no prejudice against the Catholics
from a political standpoint, and as
for the Jews, they do not try to get
into politics as a rule, their inclina.
ticns leading them into different lines.
There is no place under the constitu-
ton for religious prejudice. To at
tack Mr.. Smoct on such grounds will
be to make a martyr of him. Utah
wanted him for senator, and elected
him. Utah is a state, and had a right
to do this. The time to have checked
the church was when it put on a mask
and came into the union disguised.

1T LOOKS FAIR.

Unless it contains some hidden
meaning not discernable to the lay
mind it would seem that the senate
judiciary committees substitute for
the Hoffman bill concerning a change
OF venue in civil cases is manlfestly
a fail one. 1t in noWise abridgeS the
right of a litigant to demand a change
of Judge when he thinks the II be-
fore whom an action is brought is
preiudiced or biased and that he can
not render a fair or impartial decl-
sion or perside with fairness and i'm
partiality. All that is required OF him
is to make petition to the supreme
court for the appointment OF some
other Judge to sit or the matter IN
issue. This petition is required to
be verified by affidavit setting forth
such prejudice or bias and to give
the facts upon which it is based. 1t
is not necessary that the petition
shall be made to the full court, for the
bill provides that it may be directed
to any Justice of the court. Upon n
filing of the petition and requisite
afidavits any two justices of the SUI
preme court may make, upon sum-
mary hearing of the petition, an order

HE SHOULD

Senator Meyer must have some pur
pose in his opposition 10 the wishes
of the people of Yellowstone to be a
part of a new judicial district to be
composed of this and Rosebud coun.
ty, and in his determination to make
them a constituent part of a district
made up of Yellowstone and Fergus
counties. They r entitled to the
right of knowing why he should set
himself up as the judge of what is
best for them and why he has arro-
gated to himself the power of pass
ing judgment in a matter in which he
can at best have only small interest.
He will not be one of the resident
practicing attorneys of the district,
no matter how it is composed, so long
as no attempt is made to make Car
bon county an integral of a district
including Yellowstone. Particularly
inexplicable becomes his position in
view of the fact that Fergus county
is not in favor of his scheme and pro-
tests earnestly against being joined
to Yellowstone for judicial purposes.
In his usurpation of prerogative he
undertakes to so contrary to the
wishes of two communities and in
effect declares that they are incom-
petent to judge of a matter that in
terests them it may be said exclusive
ly. He should explain himself. Per
haps his wisdom is SO great that if
he would deign to make an explana-
ton those who are now arrayed
against him would see their error and
yield to his superior judgment
and permit him to have his way with
out further opposition. But until he
does this he may rely upon it that
they will be up and at it.
Possibly he is wrongful1y accused,
but a decidedly %corpulent suspicion
exists that the distinguished gentle
man from Carbon is doing a little
6nessing and has something conceal
ed that he does not care to have

SENATOR HoAR's GRowL.

If Senator Hoar. is subscriber 10
more than his home newspaper and
reads carefully those he may take he
will probably notice that he does, not
receive much or enthusiastic support
in his protest against the active par
ticipation of the president in the pro-
motion of legislation the executive
believes is needed and demanded by
the people. Unlike a senator, the
president is elected by the people
and consequently may be said to be
more directly in touch with them and
to speak for them with a d%irectness
lacking in the ut. ORANGES Of a member
Of the body graced by the distinguish
ed gentleman from Massachusetts. Els
pecially may it be said that the pres
ent occupant of the white house more
thoroughly and concisely, not to say
earnestly voices the sentiment and
expresses the wishes of the great
masses of the nation than do the sen
dtOTS. Inc pICSluSut hlOWo WAdt Ia
demanded and so far as he has the
power proposes that that demand
shall be needed, particularly as he
believes it to be just and right. This
in a measur is conceded by the SEN
ate by the name in which the pres
ident has succeeded in driving it
where it refused to go of it's own ac-
cord. The senate knows that in the
instance complained of by Senator
Hoar the people were on the side OF
Roosevelt and much as it may have
graveled them, the senators. as n
newspaper aptly expressed it, ALLOW
ed themselves to be fed out of his
hands"
While not officially recognized as
a participant, the president who
would be known as having achieved
something of Importance in connec-
ton with great national issues must
make himself an active factor in leg
.islation. Lincoln, Cleveland, Mckin-
ley and others who preceded the man
of whom Senator Hoar complains have
done it and those possessing any force
of character and individuality who
succeed him will do it.

st. Paul Dispatch: Whether John
d Rockefeller sent to senators of the
United States kilograms saying that
I'VE are opposed to the Nelson amend
ment of the Elkins bill' or not is not
material. Ii he SEM it, it but con-
firms the suspicious of his growing
senility. If untrue, it but illustrates
some n~eWsgather's knowledge Of the
condition of public opinion upon the
influence these later-day magnates,
these captains of industry WELD in
the national houses; its readiness to
believe such statements.
Ii true, and later advices from au-
thentic sources indicate that it was
true, it indicates that Rockefeller's
failing intellect has affected his eau
ton. Disbelief in the report rested
upon the incredulity that any one of
these men would be SO ~needlessly in
discreet as to brave inevitable pub
licity. The public is familiarized with
tACll IACJIlOuS VI luIIucTluS OF DlOCk-
ing legislation. If the case is acute
they go down to Washington them
selves, as they did during the stock
panic of September; as they did to get
the president to let up on antitrust
laws. They are not attended with
brass bands, and to the reporters they
are always there ION private BUSH
ness" If the case is in its initial
stage they send their attorneys with
full power to act.
If senators and representatives are
not aware of this attitude of public
opinion this incautious action of the
captain of the oil industry and the re-
sponse from the public will enlighten
them. The public more than suspect
that other measures fer it's relief have
been killed by the intimation convey
ed by speech, not wire, that I'VE. are

In nominating Hearst Governor
Budd seemed to overlook the fact that
there are other than Native Sons who
have a voice in the matter of electing
q president. He may also not have
thought of it, but there are some of
those other whose opinion of the N. S.
C. w. is such that it might impel
hem to vote against his idol, ever
though he we're nominated, some
thing not very likely to occur. If the
governor would like further enlight-
eminent on the subject he no doubt
can secure all the information he de-
sires from the editor of the
Muscular, who occasionally has
something interesting and pointed to
say of the men whose emblem is the
bear and whose prejudice and narrow
mindedness causes them at times to
assume the characteristics of an ami
NAL less poetic probably than the
one they have selected as emblematic
of their order, but much more useful
and which stands in great demand in
the establishments that have made
South Chicago famous.

CAUSES OF

February Pilgrim: Most divorces
are granted after a marriage of short
duration, one-half within six years.
During twenty years nearly two-thirds
of the divorces granted were given to
women and the most frequent cause
was deserticn. Sexual morality seems
at as high a plane in the United
States as in most countries where di-

rather than unlawful passion, is per-

THE ALDRlcH BILL.

Minneapolis Journal: Several cred.
it currency bills have been introduced
in congress at this session, prominent
among them being the Fowler and
the Pudgett and the Pugsley bills,
and this week Senator Aldrich intro
duced a bill which seems to over
shadow all the others in Importance
and as meeting the necessities of bus
mess and preventing money strin-
gency in the autumn when crops are
moved.
Practically, the Aldrich bill will do
away with the practice of piling up
idle money in the treasury vaults. 1t
provides for deposit with the national
banks of both internal revenue and
customs receipts, the latter being now
excepted under the law, and that the
nationals may give as security for
such deposits other than United
States bonds, the price of which is
becoming too high and the bonds too
scarce for the banks to use them to
any great extent. 1t is proposed that
the government shall receive, as Sc
curity for deposits, state and munich
pal bonds under proper scrutiny and
discrimination, and also, first-class
railroad bonds, which have paid 4
per cent annually for ten years, as
was proposed ten or twelve years ago
in the house. This measure seems
to be effective as against money
stringency and is safeguarded admir-
ably. The necessity for an expansive
currency was generally admitted last
autumn, when there vas a pinch, and
money was soreiy needed for business
rpose The Aldrich bill does not
propose any general currency reform.
II simply provides for funds for bust
ness when business most needs funds.
1t should receive favorable attention
as a really practical measure meeting
a real business need.

designating some other judge to sit
on the case to hear the matter in is

the court or the two justices to re

the original application, if those to
whom it has been submitted deem
the facts set forth originally are not
sufficient to warrant granting the

appointing another, the judge or
judges of the district in which the
action or proceedings is pending are
enjoined by the bill from proceeding
further with the matter, except upon
the written consent of the parties
thereto or their attorneys.
1t is very evident the intent and
purpose of the bill to make it impos-
sible for litigants to secure a change
Of venue upon a mere pretense or pre-
tex. If they honestly believe that
q judge about to sit in a matter in
which they are concerned is really
prcjudiced against them it should not
be considered a hardship to require
of them to state facts and give a basis
for the motion other than a mere gen
eral allegation of prejudice and bias.
The substitute must strike all who
have studied it as a wholesome and
reasonable measure and one that the
legislature should have little hes
itancy in accepting, unless some one
can show that it is worded for the
purpose of deceit and that it's ap-
parent fairness is not genuine.

Herbert w. Bowen has shown that
even in this degenerate age might

might was on the side of the allies,
right was on his side, and he knew
it, and what is more, possessed sui

mand recognition of it. 1t was a long
and stubborn struggle. but it prevail
ed in the end, as right always does
when backed up by the proper amount
of courage and determination.
