TIE UTAH sENAToRsHIP

There seems TO be a great deal OF
unnecessary discussion over the prob
able election OF Apostle Smoot as
United States Senator from Utah.
There is a movement on foot to in
duce the Senate to reject him should he
appear with credentials. People seem
to forget that a sovereign State has a
right to send anyone to the Senate that
IL chooses, providing the statutes are
not violated. Mr. Smoot is a Mormon,
but that does not debar him, since It is
a form Of religion, and as long as no
law is violated holding it is no dis
qualification.
Many assume that as Mr.. Roberts
was denied a seat in the house few
years since, a precedent has been es-
tablished for the unseating Of Smoot,
should he ba elected. II does not APP
pear that the cases are similar. Rob-
erts was a polygamist. and as such de-
fed the laws OF the United States. But
At does not appear that Smoot prac-
tees polygamy. and until there is some
levidence to warrant that conclusion We
must be content to admit that Utah
may exercise her rights OF being repre-
scented as she chooses.

A DEMOCRATIC 1 RoPosAL

2 The Democratic members of the Cen
eral Assembly yesterday held a meet
ing and pledged themselves to a course
Of action. which may help to clear up
the situation. They ask the Regular
Republicans to act with them in their
efforts to repeal the iniquitous voters
assistant law and then they offer a
plan for the election of United States
Senator'S. We do not think that there
is much doubt as To- the intention OF
the Regular Republicans on the mat
ter Of the repeal OF the voters assist
ant law! as bil looking to that end
has already been introduced by Sena-
tor Sparks. The law which WAS passed
two years ago is as indefensible as
were the old assessment and collection
laws passed Oy the Democrats years
ago to keep that party in power. II
there were any doubts as to its merits,
these must have vanished after Witness
ing the manner In which It was used
at the last election to thwart the very
intention OF the constitution. It's only
purpose was to enable the briber TO
identity beyond dispute the men who
had delivered the votes for which they
were to be paid. Any party that must
be built upon the voters assistant law
is not worthy of the support OF the peo-
pie
But the Democrats were evidently de-
termined to settle the senatorial mat
ter forthwith. II is a delicate matter
and ill-advised newspaper discussion at
this time might defeat the ends for
which aii our best citizens are striving.
I'VE must remark, however. that the pro
position sounds little imperative; and
suggests an ultimatum-which in fact
It processes to be. In one respect dt is
admirable. since It sQuarely announces
the Democratic position and at times
frankness constitutes the truest dipl0-
macy. The position of the Regular Re
prblicans is difficult and delicate. They
hold the balance OF power. On the one
hand they must MAINTAIN the party non
or and strengthen its hold in popular
estimation. Their constituents have
supported them for this. On the other
hand the decent people Of the State re-
gardless of party look TO them to keep
the State Is sescutcheon clean. and to de-
feat an measures that have partisan
ship as their sole motive These things
being true the Irregular Republicans
must not be expected TO show their
hands till the proper moment arrives,
They win mot elect Addicks under any
circumstances; that Is assured. But
just how they will solve the problem
we know not. That It will be a proper
solution is guaranteed by the char
acter OF the men in whose hands th'
matter rests.

A good story is told of man who
one day told his wife that he would
give her all the silver pieces she found
in his purse or pockets which were
coined the year she was born.
As result the lady in due course OF
time had quite an amount of silver on
hand-so much. In fact, that she went
to the bank and deposited it in her

lady said: my husband tells me you

TOXIN AND ANTiTOXIN.
What These Two Terms In Medicine
Me-n Made Clear.

Me-n Made Clenr.
Pasteur. the great French savant.
founder of the sciences of bac.criologv
and preventive medicine. proved in the
first place that ;lie epidemic diseases
are due to minute living organisms,
plants and animals and that for each
definite disease there is a specific micro
organism. This vas the great funda-
mental fact. Later 1t became evident
that these microscopic parasites cause
disease by certain chemical poisons
which they produce. called toxins. In
many cases the micro organism, IL
grown I'm culture tubes outside the
body, will produce the same toxins.
After being separated from the living
germs which produced them these sub
stances win produce all the symptoms
of the disease when injected into an
animal body. The body at the begin
ming of an attack of fever is rot, how
ever, passive Its cells react against
the poisons introduced and a struggle
ensues. the end of which is life or
death, the fighting being pnrposeful
and definite. The body cells secrete
a specific chemical body which has the
power Of neutralizing or rendering
harmless the particular toxin intre-
duced. This antidote to the poisonous
toxin we call the antitoxin. When a
man RECEIVERS from an attack OF small
pox, it is because his antitoxins have
proved too strong for the toxins of the
disease, and his after immunity, 1t
seems probable. is due TO the persist
ence within his body of the antitoxins

ease which will readily yield to proper
treatment.
This being true every instinct of
humanity urges the necessity Of pro-
viding the means for the proper care
Of consumptives. 1t is said that there
ARE in Delaware about 5000 persons
who are suffering from this disease,
and the custom is tc regard their con-
Idition as hopeless. Who then can
realize what it means to those WHO
have regarded themselves as doomed
to death, to learn that there is hope?
Yet their salvation does not depend
upon drugs. They must have such
treatment as will build up the system
while discouraging the ravages OF dis
ease germs.
This means that sanitariums are re-
quired, and certainly the State would
be doing well TO take charge OF the mat
ter. To make a test at least, would
not be very expensive and we should
rejoice to see the Legislature consider
lthe matter An expensive hospital is
not required, and perhaps the work
might be undertaken with the expen-
diture OF a few thousand dollars. When
Ione looks into the hollow eyes Of some
friend and hears the toll-tale hacking
cough, he cannot oppose any measure
looking to the relief of those who are
practically doomed.
