AS REGARDS MIR. SHOOT.
His Name and His Religion Nobody's
Business.

On esthetic grounds we object to Smoot.
or to his name rather. We have had some
queer names in Conversational, Booze,
Snook, Loudenslager, Quigg, whole lots OF
.hem-and We have always felt that their
parents were to blame. SmCOt impresses
Us In the same way. He reminds OF
Shapspeare's mistake about the rose. IL
II were any OF our business, We should
protest against "Smoot' as an addition
to the roll of the United States Senate.
Not on personal, but on artistic grounds.
FOR all we know, Smoot may be just as
capable and patriotic and useful as any
Marmaduke or Jones of them all. We
simply wish he had some other name.
AS II happens. however, the choice Of
senator from Utah rests with the people
OF that state. No matter whether they
OBJECT 10 his name or his religion. or 10
his habits or TO the cut OF his hair people
hNlng outside OF Utah have nothing TO do
with Utah's selection of a senatOr-nOth-
ing whatsoever-and when such people un-
should receive vigorous and well-aimed
snuo- The chances all are that not more
tnan one out of a hundred of those who
are protesting against Smoot know any
thihs at all about him or are competent
tons.
The fact that Mr.. smoot is an official
OF the Mormon Church has nothing TO do
with the case. All churches and sects. all

to ink. So in order to satisfy all parties
ne gave the SaXOnS a ruler after their
own heart, created a duchy for the rejected
sultor and made Eginhart Count Of
Erbach. Then the two lived happily ever
atterward, as the fairy tales conclude
III is perhaps worth mentioning that to-
day some of the noblest families of both
france and Germany trace their descent
back TO Eginhart and the Lady Emma,
ana that, In addition, this was one of the
lew cases during the middle ages where
the law that prevented commoners from
wedding those OF royal blood was broken.
Thus the first act in the drama of Saxon
history was played by an erratic and will
Iui princess bent on overturning old and
established custom, while others have
since then torn the little kingdom up by
the roots by acts quite as sensational as
the foregoing, the present crown princess
being the last to keep up the reputation
OF a kingdom which began with the es-
capade OF lady of the blood royal.

Few people know cow to cough prop
rrlv In fact. il never occurs to the o.
binary individual that there are Il rSii;
way and wrong way of doing it. Yet
il Is Il matter of no small Importance.
If every sigh means drop of blood out
OF the heart. as people say, every cough
means sCme greater or less proportions
Of time knocked off ones life. Most
people cough as loudly and forcibly a.
they can. Some chronic coughers seem
a bit proud of the terrible noise they
make. But it is rather costly noise"
for the simple reason that it tears and
infiameS the lungs.
The lungs consist Of an extraordlna'
rily delicate spongelike tissue, which
sometimes gets infamed and chokct
with phlegm. When we try to get rid
Of this substance we cough. But, OBJ
viously, if we remove it violently We
must necessarily injure the delicate
lung tissue. Therefore train yourself
to cough as gently as possible. After Il
little practice you will find it quite easy
to do so. In that way you will do 4
minimum Of mischief to the lungs and
add years to your life.

We are waiting very patiently

We are waiting very patiently
for the OIL City Organ of OIL" to
infolm us why the Standaid q!
company has stopped issuing GER
tifcates for West Virginia oil. The
Standard Is Com mon Carrier; II
charges so much for carrying each
barrel of oil 1t handles. then why
won't it give the shipper a receipt
for his oil. If the company
wilt not do so, why could
It not be forced to de-
liver the oil where the shipper
wants 1t delivered? We think the
next move the Standard makes
will be to decide that 1t Is not q
common carrier at all. It has only
been this In name and we don't see
why 1t don't stop the farce ano
lust say Its monopoly and be done
with the whole business. Still, We
are curious to have the Derrick ex
plain why the Standard wont issue
certificates for oil any longer

uniform of an admiral, the Prince Royal
Louis Philippi, the young Prince Don Man
uel and Premier Rider, at o'clock to-
day embarked at the naval dockyards, on
the river Tague, for their visit to the
American squadron. They were accom-
panied by the dignitaries of the royal pal
ace and the officials of the Ministry of Ma
rine. Every honor was accorded to the
royal and state barges as they moved out
of the river, both the American and Portu-
guese men-of-war, which were gaiy dec
GRATED for the occasion, firing salutes. AS
the barges neared the flag ship Brooklyn
the band aboard played the national an
them of Portugal. The royal personages
were received at the head of ladder by
Admiral Cotton, WHO was surrounded by
his chief of staff, the commanders of the
other ships and United States Minister
Bryan. Files of sailors manned the gang
way.
The King and his encourage made tour

Admiral Cotton, in his remarks at the
luncheon. said he desired to thank his
Majesty for the honor OF his visit and that
he desired to profit by the occasion to ex-
press his great appreciation of the AMIGA
bility and the extreme cordiality of the
ceptiOn rendered to the squadron, not only
by the King, but by all the people of Lis
bon, as we'll. He proposed toast to the
King, Queen and the royal family of Por-
tugal.
The King. in replying, said he congratu-
lated himself that he had had the oppor-
tunity to visit the American squadron.
The cordial manner in which he had been
received put upon him a pleasant obliga-
tion-that of thanking President Roosevelt
for the pleasure he felt at having made the
acquaintance of Admiral Cotton. He
would, therefore, he declared, send a tele-
gram to President Roosevelt, in which he
would also thank him for the proof of
American good will shown by the visit of
the squadron. The King proposed toast
TO President Roosevelt as first magistrate
of the United States. saying that to drink
to President Roosevelt was to drink to the
prosperity of-that powerful Nation. The
announcement of the King that he would
send a cablegram to President Roosevelt
was greeted with cheers.

July Z. and whose will has recently been ad-
mitted To probate. Until the examination
OF Colonel Clines thousands of letters and
papers is complete it will not be known how
much the estate is worth, but il is said it is
possible it will approximate S6.OOO.OOO. Colonel
Cline. who was eighty years old at his death,
and whose title comes from the fact that
he was a civil war veteran, was a real estate
operator and almost his whole fortune was
In land. Executor Warfeld has already
found that ne holds property in Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, New
York, Virginia and Maryland. 1t is princi-
pally in large tracts with much farming

belonging 80 the estate is at Clark Junction.
Ind, near EdgmOor. This consists of $500
acres.
Colonel Cline left his entire estate to his
relatives in California and Maryland. One
fourth goes 10 his sister, Mrs. Mary Yeakie,
and one-quarter To his brother, Nicholas o.
Cline. both of Frederick, Md, and-both are
seventy years old. Another quarter is left 10

VAN SAINT NOT DISCOURAGED.
Says the State VIII Immediately Ap-

ST. PAUL, Aug. 1.-Governor Van SAINT
said concerning the decision of the court
in the Northern Securities case; Il do not
feel the least discouraged by the decision of
the court this morning. 1t simply means
that the case will haye to be finally decided
by the court of last resort. The State will
Immediately appeal and every effort be
made by its attorney general and his able
associates to protect the interests of the
people. The fight is going to continue until
our laws are indicated and upheld; until
IL Is conclusively shown that by indirection
results cannot be accomplished which our
laws We're intended TO prevent; that the
creations of another State cannot be used
to accomplish here that which is against
the declared policy of this State; that COM
petition shall not be smothered that IL
shall be open, active and potential; that
dummies shall not be directors officers ana
agents to so operate the railroads OF MIN
nesota that our laws shall be nulihed and
rendered ineffective. l have faith to be-
lieve that the final decision will be In favor
of the State and that the Northern Sc
curities Company will be dissolved. In so
far as this decision will modify or destroy
the wholesome effect of the decision or
the court in the government case upon the
business interests of the country, IT is TO De
regretted

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-Mr. Day, assist
ant to the attorney general, was asked
what effect the decision Of Judge tochren
in the suit of the State of Minnesota against
the Northern Securities Company would
have on the case of the United States
against this company. He teplied: 1T
can have no effect, whatever. The case of
the United States against the Securities
Company was brought under the Sherman
antitrust law, charging violation of its
provisions, and 1t was decided by four
United States circuit judges in unani-
nous opinion that the Northern Securities
Company was conspiracy In restraint or
interstate commerce, and therefore unlaw-
full. This case was not brought under the
Sherman antitrust law or any other fed
eral statute. 1t is a suit of the State of
Minnesota for alleged violation of its
Constitution and laws, and the decision OF
District Judge LOchren in such case could
in no event affect the result reached by
the four circuit judges in the former case"
