MORMON APOSTLE

In spite of President Roosevelt's sug-
'gestion the state of Utah will send a
Mormon and an apostle of the church
to the United States Senate
Reed Smoot, the next senator from
Utah was born in Salt Lake in 1862.
The papers in a recent sketch stated
that he was asrnonogamist.; It is diff
cult to judge by this whether he has
but one living spouse, or whether he is
opposed to polygamy. But neverthe-
less it is well known that the, Mormon
church want Smoot elected, and some
of the Christian churches are bitterly
opposed to him. This opposition will
be carried to the senate.
The Mormon church are not so anx-
ious to place mormon in the senate
as they are to ascertain attiaude of
congress towards the church. B. H.
gress because he was polygamist.
The Mormons have felt that this was
merely an ostensible plea, and that the
real opposition emanated from those
opposed to Mormonism.
Mr.. Srnoot will go to the senate.
He is not a polygamist, but a Nor
mon apostle, who draws no pay from
the church as all prelates in the
church work without price. He is a
successful business man,. and if he is
denied a seat in the United States
senate it will be because he is Nor
mon.

PENSION. LAW FOR POLICEMEN

A bill pending befor state legislature
granting to policemen Of twenty-five
years service a pension Of $4,000 per
month. We are glad to know that the
city officials of Duluth have endorsed
the bill and will urge the Duluth del
egation to support it. Any man who
devotes twenty-five years Of his life
to a city in keeping the peace, pro-
tectins life and, property is entitled
to an old age compensation. We know
that there is that paper thickness"
calibre of men who really believe that
the city's obligation is ended with the
payment Of the monthly salary during
active service,s This comes from fol-
lowing the thought that the present
usage Of employees is right because
it has always been so. If the monthly
salary; is the only. goal for police off,
<cers, then: they better, lille they, are
young, getsout sof 4 D and set

Of acquiring a. competency to protect
them during old age. We say "Amen

PLUMBERS SECRETARY
HAS SOME GOOD THOUGHTS

Editor Labor World:
What is organized labor? Nothing.
Simply nothing more than we make it.
l say we, because we as laboring men
of progressive age must in order to
perpetuate or organizations stand to-
gether in both principle and financi-
ally.
By principle it means more than to
say We are union men, and financial
1y, the union needs money in order that
it may become useful. Every union
man should pay his dues regularly, and
further show his principle.
I have heard it asked? what good
does the union do u.s. Allow me to
make one answer to this: eff union
does no good to an occasional person
it will certainly do him no harm, and
should you have patience to read this
1t will show one simple reason why
every tradesman should belong to a
union" A short letter in the plumbers
journal shows where a faithful and
loving daughter heard Of the death of
her poor father, and how the plumb
ers' union sent information of his
death to Manchester, England. This
poor girl might still be worrying over
the whereabouts of her father. She

the expenses incurred in actually

ABOUT THE BRONZE HERMES.
NJ. Andre, the French Expert, has
Pieced it Most Skillfully.

NJ. Andre, the French Expert, has
Pieced it Most skillfully.
From the Baltimore Sun:
M. Andre, the French expert, has
completed the restoration Of the So
called bronze Hermes which was re-
covered from the sea last year near
CerigO (Cynthera). He has pieced, it
together so skillfully that it is said to
require the closest examination to dis
cover that it is composed Of numer-
Gus small fragments. 1t is doubtless
a statue of Greek athlete, and the fact
that its features somewhat resemble
those of Praxiteles Hermes of Olympia
is the only reason for saying that it
too is a Hermes. The statue, which
dates from the fourth century B. c., is
said to be one Of extraordinary beauty
and must be c1assed among the finest
remnants Of ancient ant. AS an orr
ginal bronze Of the best epoch it is
unique. It represents many features
of the school of Lysippus, and possibly
ma ybe the work of that artist Many
other bronzes and marbles were brought
uD by the divers. and even portions of
the wrecked treasure ship which car
ried them have been found. The bronzes
have been little injured by the action
OF the salt water, but the marbles have
been so defaced as to be worthless.
Undoubtedly the treasure was Roman
booty taken from Greece at the time of
the conquest:

Next Thursday the: new customs

Eva came to the conclusion the other
day that all the silver in the fat needed
cleaning. She assured the mistress Of the
household that she was an adept at the
art of silver polishing. Thereupon she
was told she could indulge herself with
the silver during the afternoon, while
the mistress was out calling.
One may we'll imagine the dismay Of
this young wife when she returned
rather unexpectedly little later and
found the servant girl hard at work on
some sterling spoons with the brick
dust that is commonly used for scour-
ing steel knives.

MANKATO, Jan. 15-Special to the

A MEDAL FOR eoop-NATURE.

From Harper's Weekly:
/ A medal for pure and unmitigated
good-nature was awarded, not many
days ago, to a youth in a public school,
He had not made a noteworthy record
for progress in learning; he had not
even reached point beyond the aver
age among his fellows; he had simply
eclipsed them all in amiability OF the
kind that accepted rewards or punish
ments with urbane and equal phiios-
ophy. And sthe' fact that a medal was
deemed not too honorable for him UNI
der the circumstances is significant evil
dence Of the high esteem in which good
nature is held. How it does oil the
creaking wheels of life, to be sure! How
smooth it makes the path! What a
comfortable and comforting companion
a truly amiable person is, if he is only
a dog! When everything and every
body else have ruffled one the wrong
way, and made. every individual set OF
injured feelings one possesses stand up
like. quilts upon the fretful porcupine,
how soothing to step into the atmos-
phere of the amiable person! Serenity
enters, peace sets in, you laugh, he
laughs, the world turns rose-colored
no sermon could. It is an unreasonable
influence for good. It is, therefore, with
satisfaction that we note the presenta-
tion Of a medal to the good-natured
boy. Why would it not be a valuable
custom to introduce into all our schools :?
From Harper's Weekly:
There are dentists in the navy now.
and they are rated as yeomen. They
feel the need of more rank and pay.
and the NATIONAL Dental association
has interested itself in helping them
to get 1t. The house committee on
naval affairs heard a number of lead
ing dentists discourse on the subject
on Dec. Is, and they were doubtless
able to make, out good case for their
cause: The navy dentists will prob
ably not demand: to be put in the line

Their profession. is coming up. In the
matter Of ability, to collect pecuniary
rewards. for the exercise of their skill,
/ the leading dentists in large cities are
| not much behind the surgeons. No
single thing tends more to help a
mans social standing than the ability
to draw high pay for respectable work.
This the modern dentist can do. Only
last week Dr.: Lorenz was quoted as
reminding some newspaper men that
surgery, like dentistry, is almost alto
gether Technique. The dentist is COM
! ing up in: the world as the doctor did
before him coming up indeed so fast
that he will probably resent as .imper-
tinent any suggestion that he has not
| yet altogether arrived. In time the
| navy dentist is. likely to: get what he
| wants, and to be in a position to con-
dole with the navy chaplain upon the
| nadequacy Of his pay and uniform.
