ROOSEVELT OPPOSES
MORMON IN U. S. SENATE,
His Ultimatum stirs up Bitter Feel.
ing in Utah and Will be Resented.
President Kindly but Firmly Advises Against
Election of any APOSTLE

Salt Lake, Utah, January "a
morning paper publishes Washing
ton interview with Senator Kearns,
on the election OF a Senator to succeed
Senator Rawlins, in which Kearns is
quoted as saying This afternoon
President Roosevelt requested me to
state that he very much hoped no
Mormon apostle would be elected. He
based his expression and interest on
the iirm belief that the selection OF an
apostle would arouse bitter feeling and
do irretrievable injury to the best in
terests OF Utah."
President Roosevelt said !: II feel
deeply Interested in the future OF Utah
in its material upbuilding. as well as
thief and best interests OF the
Republican party. The election to
the United States Senate OF an apes.
tie would work great harm to. the
State, would be very unwise, would
certainly lead TO contention, strife
and bitterness here. II not in Utah,
would unquestionably be misfortune
TO those interested in all that goes to
make the State Of Utah prosperous /
have every confidence in the wisdom
of the majority OF the members T the
Utah Legislature, and feel sure IL they
understood the gravity OF the situa-
Z on as IL appears To me. and us have
heard IL expressed by members OF the
Senate, they would refrain from any
action which will not result in good
for the future OF Utah and its people.
desire you to place me on record as
kindly but firmly advising against the
election of any apostle To the United
States Senatorship."
The alleged ultimatum from Presi-
dent Roosevelt demanding that Apes.
tie Reed Smoot withdraw from the
senatorial race, has caused great ex-
element here. 1t develops that Smoot
and the Mormon Church sent an EN-.
issary to see President Roosevelt last
week. This man is expected here to-
day. and he will personally deliver
Roosevelt's message to Smoot. The
apostle, however, is defiant.
II will not quit the race have 1t
won." he declared when tirst told OF
the Presidents demand. Later Smoot
qualified this statement.
This is unprecedented" declared
Mr. Smoot. In any other State in
the Uuion such r~tinn on the part Of
the President would be resented. II

MORMONS
Are Among Us Distributing Their
Religious Tracts.

The Mormons have come to town.
Two apostles, wearing appropriate
robes, are well supplied with tracts ON
Mormonism, and are diligently circu-
lating them at ten cents a piece.
Later they will probably attempt to
hold religious services some where in
the city.

Politics at the Quincy Soldiers
Home.

Quincy Herald: 1t appears TO be all
politics at the Soldiers Home. Even
politics has all to do with the letting
of contracts. Judge j. b. Messick, of
East ST. Louis, is the man who is
handling things for the governor. He
is the new president of the board of
trustees, and is trying to turn St.
Clair county over to Yates. Adams
county has so places on the state pay
roll, and these 30 patriots are suppos-
ed to handle the county for Yates
without further effort. So, therefore,
Judge Messick is handling the Home
in the interest of st. Clair county,
where the little governor has some
hard work cut out for him.
The present plumbing contract at
the Home was accordingly given to
East st. Louis parties, and most of
the material comes from outside the
state. The trustees went through the
fOrmality of soliciting bids in July,
but when the bids were opened it was
announced that all were above the APP
preparation and they were rejected.
Then the engineer was requested to
amend the specifications along certain
lines and to have bids at noon of Aug.
1. Few people knew anything more
about it until the announcement came
that the contract had been awarded
to the St. Clair Plumbing G. Heating
company. of East ST. Louis. The
board of trustees was not in session
and the bids had been sent to Judge
Messc< at his home. The specifica-
lions had been amended to permit the
use of materials from outside the
state. and Quincy contractors were
apparently ruled out of all reckoning
whatsoever. Judge Messick was in
possession of every detail, and it is

Always for The Banks.

1t is long way to the cash in the
United States treasury from the money
in the pockets of the people, and yet
every cent In the treasury has been
paid in taxes. 1t is the peoples mon
ey, and the law requires an act of con-
gress before cent of it can be ex-
pended. Yet in practice millions are
paid out by stretching or evading the
laws, and always these vast sums are
disbursed for the benefit of the nation
al banks and never in the interest of
the taxpayers. The Republican lead
ers have a compliment idea that the
taxpayers are satisfied with any flnan-
cial or other policy they deem fit to In
augurate and that the Republican vot-
ers are more than content with the
way their political leaders are admin
istrating affairs of the government.

The People and Wall street.

The taxpayers of the nation are pay
ing good steep bonus to keep Wall
street from bankruptcy. The high
price that is being paid for many of
the necessities of life is caused by the
high tariff tax and the large monopoly
profits that the trusts are through the
tariff allowed to exact The tax paid
through the customs duties and the in
ternal revenue collections is about
$50, 100000 n year in excess of what it
costs to run the government. and this
vast sum is withdrawn from circulat ton
and Is added to the surplus in the Unit
ed States treasury. During the last
SIX years over $15O,O0O,000 of the sur
plus has been loaned TO the national
banks without interest. and the secre-
tary of the treasury is now taking ex-
traordinary measures to distribute the
addition to the surplus that is con-
stantly accruing.

Americans have occasion to regret
one excellent feature in British adj
minis tration. Under the system long
in use by that government diplomacy
is a profession. Men start at the bot
tom as attaches or Consuls and go up
by promotion or merit to the highest
place. which is amba SSadOr. says the
San Francisco Call. This secures in
the service officers who are acquaint-
ed with many countries, who speak
many languages and have the skill in
diplomacy acquired by experience. 1t
is far different from our catch-as-
catch-can system. which offers no
career either in consular or diplo-
matte service.

SIMPLY BREATHE IT.
A Few Minutes Use of HyOmeI Four Times
Day Cures Catarrh.


Day Cures Catarrh.
The pleasantest. most convenient
and the only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh is Hy-
Omei. Simply put 20 drops of Hyomei
in the inhaler that comes with every
package and then breathe it for a few
minutes four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
n way of treating catarrh will effect
a cure, but the most important dis
cOveries of science have always been
the simplest. BY breathing Hyomei in
this way every particle of air that err
ters the air passages of the throat
and head and goes into the lungs is
charged with a healing balsam that
kills the germs and bacilli of catarrh
and sOOthes and allays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show decided improvement and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. It's action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyo-
mel. a complete outfit costs 81, and
if after using you can say that it has
not helped you, T. III. Thomas will re-
turn your money. What other treat
ment for catarrh is sold nnder a guar
antee like this?

PAVE MAIN STREET.

l I
Since the return of the Committee
and City Council from Alexandria
whittier they went to inspect the pub
lie improvements of that town, the
subject of street paving has been
constantly in mind and discussed.
None of the party are opposed to the
paving of our main throughfare, none
but what recognize the utility and
necessity ofsdoing something for the
betterment of our streets other than
the ridging up and rolling them,
which is all we'll enough until it
rains, when few hours traffic, OBJ
literates the work done at consider
able expense, leaving the street to be
gone over again, when dry enough.
Should continued wet spell intervene,
then indeed is travel and traffic per-
formed with difficulty. We might
shell our streets again, but that is
only temporary relief of which, we
have had plenty experience, the shells
after while are partly ground up by
use and blown away, the remainder
sink in the soft moist earth doing no
good whatever. Much money and
labor has been spent on this subter-
fuge, this substitute for pavement,
but it was illusory, disappointing
and temporary and we are again con-
frOnted after all the work and ex-
penditure with the same old muddy
DOGGY streets, full of bumps and
holes. Why temporise any longer,
why not at once put our streets in
that condition that will give per-
manency, cleanliness comfort and con-
venience. Other towns of less preten-
sion than ours. towns of less revenues,
of less population are paving their
streets, why should not Iberia, Gulf
port Miss, but few years old. has

Monroe all have certain amount Of |
paving, done by the consent and
vote of the taxpayers
The cost for Asphalt paving as
given by the Barber Asphalt Co., is
b. 10 per square yard with privilege
of 5 yearly payments. This is far
ahead of the wasteful methods in
rogue here, an economy that would

would not be burdensome to the pro-

either push forward or evcrlastingly

paving is now under cons deraion in
the Council. This brings up the inev-
liable question of drainage and sewer
age 1t would be worse than folly to
lay expensive street pavements with
out first providing for proper sewerage
Nowcomes the question to where
are we to drain. 1t is violation of the
United States law to drain into the
Bayou. We are guilty in this respect
every day 1t is plain to us that the
first and all important matter for the
tax payers to have under consideration
is drainage. Let us have an effective
system of drainage well established
and everything needed will follow
in its order I'm question of such
vital Importance to a community, all
rars, al interests should be merged
in the general good What is to the
interest of one man may not be to
the interests of all but what is to the
bests interests of all is to the interests
of each. There seems to be an insur-
mountable misunderstanding concern
ing the long dreamed of drainage and
Commercial Canal, can't somebody un-
ravel the tangle? What the majority
of tax payers desire within the limits
of the law, they ought to have if they
are willing to pay for it, why not
call mass meeting of the people in
some place big enough to hold them,
say out doors. Have the matter of
drainage discussed openly pro and con
by able opponents. let anybody be
heard who has anything to say on the
subject. Then in due time put the
question to vote yea or nay for this
