sMooT WILL REMAIN.

Washington Dispatch to Pittsburg
Gazette.-A member of congress, in
discussing the case recently, said:
You can put it down as a fact that
Senator Smoot will not be expelled.
Ills case will hinge upon two ques-
tions: First, whether he is or was a
polygamist; and second, whether his
oath to the church is more binding
than his oath of office. am satisfied
that his enemies will be unable to
prove the charge of polygamy. was
out in Utah this summer and talked
with many Gentiles about this case,
and they unanimously agreed that
there was no foundation for the charge
of polygamy. AS to Shoots allie
glance to the church hierarchy, the
very articles of faith that he has men,
toned VIII be produced to show that
the church in no way interferes with
the validity of his oath as senator.
With these two charges out of the
way it is my belief that Smoot will
have smooth sailing. OF course, there
is strong prejudice all over the coun-
try against the Mormon church, and
opposition to its gaining influence in
politics, but this prejudice no mat
ter how well founded or how strongly
it may be manifested. can not serve
as a ground for Shoots expulsion.
That question must be decided by law
and, for this reason, am certain that
Smoot will stay in the senate"

county park or forest would ere long
become splendid revenue producer,
and 1t would also be a school in fores-
try for private citizens. who would in
time find timber and the wood lot more
profitable than oil or mining stocks or
many other investments that are now
offered.
And the free high schools finds nu-
merous advocates. 1t does seem a
hardship that the pupil from the coun-
try should pay tuition in free school
just because he or she does not live in
the district. OF course the people of
that district tax themselves to main
tain that school. But, on the other
hand, would it not be wise and the
very best economy to throw open
the doors of our high school to any
youngster who seeks knowledge with
out reference to district or township
or county lines? That is after we get
a high school that is large enough to
accommodate our own pupils?
Verify there seems to be something
doing in Iowa that is as worthy of at
tentlon as the idle rumors and the Cos
sip about next years presidential cam
paign or the scandals of titled Euro
pean society.

SPEAKER TWENTY MINUTES.

Washington Post.-The government
has scores of portrait galleries. but,
save the paintings of a long line of
presidents, which adorn the White
House walls. there is none finer. than
that in the rear lobby of the house,
where the likenesses of speakers look
down upon thousands of daily passers-
by. All, since the last congress adj
journed, have been refurnished and put
in identic gilt frames.
There is one break in the line of
speakers, however, which probably
will never be repaired in this ilnpos-
ing gallery. The portrait of Theodore
M. Pomeroy will not be hung at the
capital although he was, in fact, as
much of a speaker of the house. as any
of his predecessors or successors. He
was elected to the high Office for about
twenty minutes March 8, 1869. just as
the Fortieth congress was expiring
This, as is generally known, was to
enable Schuyler Colfax to abdicate and
go to the other end of the capitol to
be sworn in as vice president and pre-
siding officer of the senate. The Of
fetal record bears ample evidence to
future generations of Poneroy's APP
pearance in the chair. The house had
nothing serious to do in the interval,
and the new speaker was pelted with
complimentary resolutions, express
ing deep appreciation of his emf
nent qualities and of his acumen with
the gavel.
Pomeroy's federal career terminal
ed with his brief but exceedingly spec
tacular service as speaker.

Kansas City Star.-Not one Mis-
souri, boodler is in the state peniten-
tiary. 1t has been two years since
there was positive evidence given to
the people that st. Louis had been
looted by the most shameful public
CRAFTS For nearly two years Joseph
w. Folk has labored necessarily to
send boodlers to prison. He has Sc
cured the conviction of nineteen pub
lie thieves-two of them millionaires.
Four Of these convictions have been
passed on by the supreme court. All
of them We're reversed. There was
no doubt about the guilt of three of
the defendants. Meysenburg may have
been innocent. Within two years 9TH
er criminals-not politicians or mil
lionaires--haye committed murders,
arsons and thefts. Many of them have
been tried and convicted, their SEN
fences affirmed by the supreme court.
and their terms of Imprisonment part

states prison. Fraud in the legisla-
ture was fragrant. Bribery is known
to have cost the people many thousands
of dollars for favors prra based of
senators by corporations. There have
been five senators indicted. One of
them has been convicted One had a

been entirely groundless. A change in
this condition has already taken place,
and at the present time there is bal
ance Of about s4,000O00 on the right
side of the account. 1t seems that the
prediction of Secretary Shaw in his
recent report that at the end of the
fiscal year next June there would be
a balance in the nations favor of
$14 100000 will be fulfilled.
While the present balance is not
nearly so large as has been expert
enced at this time of year before, 1t is
quite satisfactory, and with this bal
ance increased to the $14,000,000 mark
by the end Of the fiscal year, it will
indeed be a comfortable sum. 1t
is probable that during the present
year the government will be called up
on to make payments for the canal
concessions and construction, but the
treasury is in excellent condition to
meet all such demands. The business
outlook is good. Gold to the extent of
500, 100000 has come into the country
from the outside world during the past
few weeks. and the general business
situation is very favorable. This is a
matter of qualification for the admins.

PROSPERITY in THE WEST.

Philadelphia Eastern at
tention has been directed several times
lately to the fact that there has been
no ebb of prosperity in the west. Bus
mess rests more Immediately upon
agriculture there than in other sec
tons, and the farmers have had an
extremely good year. Crops are large
and prices are good. President Ram
say of the Wabash road has come back
from a trip through that section with
the information that if farmers have
not money to burn, they at least have
mortgages to burn. a Chicago bank
er said to him: 81 find the farmers all
have money in the bank, their cribs
are full of grain and their mortgages
have been burned Wholesalers in
st. Louis and elsewhere report large
orders coming in; collections were
never before SO easy, and western mer-
chants are anticipating the payment of
their bills. No matter what happens
on the stock exchange, the business of
the country is not going into decline
while the farmers are in a high state
of prosperity.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT REPORT.

Among the questions discussed by
Secretary e. A. Hitchcock in his an
nual report of the interior department,
his review of Indian affairs and growth
of the public schools are worthy of
notice. Throughout the history OF
this government the management Of
the Indian affairs has been a ques-
ton that has called for the best eff
forts of public men,
During the uast twelve months the
Indian population of the United States
has remained practically the same,
100000. Of this number the five civil
lied tribes and New York Indians
embrace about 100000, leaving 10000
occupying the 1876 reservations, con-
Indian territory and New York. For
years the efforts of the governm ent has
been to educate the Indians. Though
this work has been a slow one, there
are evidences of it's growth and cause
for the belief in the final success Of
the work. The past year has wit
messed an increase in the number of
schools for Indians, the number for
the fiscal year 1903 being 257, as COM
pared with 249 for the previous year.
Briefly, Mr.. Hitchcock summarizes
the condition of the schools in the
country in the following:
The number of pupils in the common
schools enrolled during the year was
15,925,SS7, the same being 20.2S per
cent of the entire population, estimat-
ing the same at 7S,544,S16. The aver
age daily attendance for 1902 was TO-
999, 273, the same being So per cent OF
the total mum Der enrolled. This is the
largest average attendance on the
number enrolled ever reported in the
United States. The average monthly
wages of teachers is given as $49.05
for males and S39.77 for females, a
slight increase over the previous year.
