SMOOT LOVES
NATIONS LAWS.
Mormon Senator Says No Man Need
Fear he Would Ever Attempt
to Destroy Them.

Sspator-eIec. Smoot OF Utah spent
some time in Chicago while on his way
to Washington last week, and was in
terviewed a follows:
Il love my country" he said, land
l love my couutry's laws. No person
need ever fear me from that stand
point.
Il an going tc Washington As the
representative Of no church and no
creed. l have ben chosen TO repre-
sent Utah in the senate, and it is in
that capacity that 1 will enter Wash
ington. | am anticipating no trouble.
1t is impossibleAr me to say what my
reception will n 5ut I have had no
personal intimat+h that it will not be
cordial.
~ am interested in the affairs of the
state OF Utah. l am more greatly in
terested in the affairs 1f the Union,
and | trust that in my mission to con-
gress | shall not betraY the interes Is
OF either"
James II. Anderson of Salt Lake
City, chairman OF the republican state
committee OF Utah, accompanied him.
In speaking of the probable reception
OF Senator Smoot, Mr. Anderson said :
There has gone forth misunder-
standing about Mr.. SmoOt's relation
ship with Utah politics, a. well "a his
relationship with the Mormon church.
There are many who believe that Mr..
SmOot, because he is member of the
quorum OF apostles of the Mormon
church, is Il preacher. This is not
true. He is merely identified with the
business administration Of the church.
"He received forty-siX votes in the
legislature, of which there was but
sixty-three members. He was the
choice of the republicans of Utah.
The repeated attempt to send Mr..
Smoot to the senate have been indie
pendent OF church Influences. He was
the choice of both the MormOns and
the Gentiles."

1t is reported that a process has been
perfected for the treatment Of copper
and other sulphide ores which, accord.
ing to expert, will bring about Il revo.
luton in metallurgy. The new method
will permit of the opening up of hun
dreds of low-grade copper mines,
which have been lying dormant be-
cause of the hitherto prohibitive cost OF
operation. Former Superin tendent
Knox of the East Pittsburg Gas com
pany is the inventor OF the new pro-
cess, and the representative, George
Westinghouse, has already invested
81, 900, 900 in the system. The method
does away with the preliminary roast
ing of the copper ore, which not only
is expensive treatment, but one which
kills all vegetation near the smelters
The Pacific Vacuum Ice company
(San Francisco) has issued its pros
prectus, in which is explained the pro-
cess by which Vacuum ice' is made,
without the use of ammonia, salt, sui
phuric acid, or any acid whatever. AS
stated in the prospectus: "The opera
tion consists in creating vacuum by
pumping out the air, aud when it
reaches a certain point of pressure to
the square inch it commences to
freeze. Each cylinder used for the
purpose will make one pound of ice
per second, or thirty-six hundred
pounds in sixty minutes, of solid pure
ice"

Enemies of the People.

Col. Wilson's newspaper, the Ari-
zona Democrat, comes out squarely in
opposition to the recommendation of
GOV. Brodie, that the fees paid for
filing articles OF incorporation be di-
verted into the territorial treasury
rather than be applied in enriching a
territorial official.
The revenues amounting from this
class OF business are sufficient each
year to provide a snug little fortune to
any person, and if turned into the
treasury of the territory would relieve
the taxpayers Of a considerable amount
of their burdens. y conservative es-
innate of the amount Of these fees for
last year would be $4,000. We'll in
formed persons place them at $40 900
to $50, 900 per annum, nice little sum
truly for the territorial treasury. The
territory, not its secretary, furnishes
the protection to these companies
which avail themselves OF its liberal
laws and in turn it should receive all
the bcuefts of a financial nature that
there are in it. The secretary is paid
a salary by the general government
equal TO that received by most secre-
taries of state in addition to liberal al
iOwances from the general government
for assistants aud clerks, while other
fees of the office, exclusive of incOr-
porations, run the net salary OF the
annum, making it an office highly re-
muner ative. .-Prescot Journal.

prehension of the fact At any rate.
believe 1t is our solemn duty to do ev-
erything within our power to remove
the blot which now exists against the
honor, Integrity and credit OF our be-
loved state.
II desire to call especial attention
to the suit of the state of Kansas
against the state of Colorado, now
pending In the Supreme Court of the
United States. Some months ago the
demurrer which had been filed to the
complaint of the state of Kansas was
overruled, and the defendant ordered
to answer. An answer has been filed.
and 1t has therefore become urgently
necessary that, in addition to the work
already done, great deal of work be
undertaken and carried forward in the
defense of the state of Colorado.
Though 1t was originally thought the
case might be determined upon purely
legal questions 1t has now assumed a
more threatening aspect, and it is nee
essary to meet important issues of
fact, with the issues of law still unde-
termined. Under such circumstances

1t is hardly necessary that l should
direct your attention to the vital i'm
portance of taking every proper step
In defending the suit.
There are many departments of the
public service of this state, notably
our penal, reformatory and charitable
institutions, and other departments.
where civil service could be adopted
to great advantage to the improve
ment of the administration of such de-
partments, and with resultant econ
omy.
1.-The Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton of Denver will present its bill for
your consideration, which, trust, will
lead to legislation along the lines
therein set forth
'It seems to me that 1t would be
quite desirable to enact legislation
providing for the appointment of
commission or commissioner, whose
duty should combine those of dairy
commissioner, and other departments
relating to the public health, with the
duty Of enforcing the existing laws re-
lating to the adulteration of food and
drink, with such amendments thereto
as wisdom might suggest.
Under the constitution the execu-
tive is vested with the power of grant
ing pardons and must, necessarily, as
sumo all final responsibility fer the ex-
ercise Of this power. In my judgment,
no effort to divide responsibility ac-
complishes the desired results. and es-
pecially is this true in matters of this
character, for the reason that senti-
ment is too apt to be controlling when
we have under consideration appeals
for clemency.
"In my Judgment, the mere fact of
the existence of Board of Pardons Is
an invitation to those confined in pc
nal institutions to make frequent ap-
plication for pardon, which are wholly
without merit, with a resultant un-
rest on the part Of the applicant,
which is highly detrimental to that
strict discipline SO absolutely neces-
sary in almost all such institutions.
II am also persuaded that the inde-
terminate sentence law has failed of
accomplishing any good results, anG
that a return to the old system would
be desirable.
"If the criminal classes can be made
to know that conviction, sentence and
punishment are sure, speedy and GER
tain, without hope of pardon, reprieve,
Communication of sentence or parole
except in clearly meritorious cases, a

The governor thinks that the Board
OF Charities and Correction is too linn
tied in Its powers to accomplish the
best results. He recommends a re-
organization that will establish a
board with full control and custody
of all the penal, correctional and char
table institutions of the state, both
as to their management and financial
affairs.
The governor alludes to the many
scandals that have arisen In connec-
tion with public printing, stationery

therefore strongly urge the most rigid

end that only such be enacted into laws

mand."
The governor hopes that the present
surplus revenue of about 100000.
which he alludes to as gratifying
condition of affairs, will not lead to
legislative extravaganza.
"As the result of the labor of two
sessions of the Thirteenth General
Assembly a revenue law was enacted,

"In my Judgment, sufficient time has

lhe law, which should be remedied by
legislation; and / therefore feel war
tanted in urging that this General As
sembly refrain from any amendments
to the law, firmly believing that future
legislatures will be more competent to
deal with this question"
The governor describes the outstand-
ing certificates of Indebtedness.
amounting to about $260,000. and ex-
cess warrants aggregating about 81
600, 900, which have been issued to sus-
tain state institutions and for the sup
port of the state government. The Su-
preme Court has held that these GER
tificates and warrants were issued con-
trary to the express Inhibition of the
constitution and the governor thinks
they cannot be legally paid, as recon-
mended by the late state treasurer,
from the present and future surplus
revenue of the state. He says:
at is undisputed that these certif-
Gates of Indebtedness represent actual
value received by the state. and that
d very large proportion of the so-called
excess warrants are Of equal validity.
and while they may not In the Ian
guage of the Supreme Court constitute
a legal or moral obligation upon the
people of this state. they certainly
should be considered and treated as a
debt of honor by the people Of the
state. and should be paid without fur
