EDITORIAL OPINION
A Probably Homeless Eiaht.

A Probably Hopeless Fight
From the Washington Post.
II As the opinion OF the Boston Post that
trouble is looming up portentously before
"the new Republican Senator from Utah, p"
Mr.. Smoot, who happens to be a high Of
nclsl Of the Church Of Jesus Christ OF
the Iatter-Day Saints" This trouble
comes from that fact. Our Boston con-
temporary mentions that the Presbyte-
rian General Assembly has demanded his
expulsion from the Senate. The resolu-
Hons which this great and influential
Christian body has adopted declare that
the Mormon Church, persists in the ac-
tive encouragement and practice" Of
polygamy. and that Smoot is lin cordial
sympathy with II as a divine institution" q"
Therefore, Smoot must go.
However serious all that may be in other
respects, 1t is not freighted with trouble
for the junior Senator from Utah. In this
republic man is accountable TO no hu-
man tribunal for his thoughts, sympathies,
or feelings. II two-thrds OF Senator
Smoots colleagues could be convinced
that he was living In polygamy. they
would doubtless vote for his expulsion.
It is possible that such action might be
taken on positive proof that he was a
promoter Of plural marriages. But both
of those charges are denied by many OF
the best citizens Of Utah. 1t is the right
Of a Senator, as clearly as of private
citizen, to believe in any doctrine no mat
ter how inharmonious It may be with
prevailing sentiments. AS our Boston
namesake puts it. III Smoot SIMPLY holds
the doctrlnal faith that a man should
have as many wives as he can support but
does not put his theory into practice, why
Is he any worse than a good many other
Senators who have queer and cranky no
lions, but do not give onense by acting up
to them?"

might conclude that when the Repub-

are mistaken.
A woman has held them all up, and
her name is Ruth Hanna. She de-
cided she would get married on June

her wedding will come off on that date
Her father telegraphed that the Ohio
Republicans had decided on June 10
for their convention. and that she had
better postpone her little affair. He
received in reply a message stating
that the Ohio Republicans might hold
their convention any old time, bur
that she was going TO be married OF
June 10. so the convention was post
poned.
Then her father called her atten
tion to the fact that the Presiden
wished to attend the wedding, but hi
engagements would not allow him Z
be IN Ohio on June 10. Miss Hanna
undaunted. suggested that the cere
mony could take place without hin
