The SMOOT CASE.

The case of United States Senator
Reed Smoot, of Utah. promises to be
come quite as famous as the celebrat-
ed Roberts case, of the same state,
who was refused membership in the
house of Representatives because he
practiced polygamy The charges
against Mr.. Smoot are of the same
nature, but whether they can be
proven remains to be seen.
A great public cutlery was raised
against Roberts, jhe house of repre-
sentatives at Washington being de-
luged with thousands of petitions
from all over the country, and the
same methods are being pursued in
the case Of Senator Smoot.
Senator Hoar, the venerable states
man from Massachusetts, took Occa-
sion a few days ago to object to the
petitions against MI Smoot as being
calculated to prejudice his case In
the senate Mr.. Hoar took the view
that the petitions We're as much out
of place as they would be if pre-
scented to the supreme court to infiu-
ence that body in any particular case
being considered by the court, and a
good many people will be inclined to
agree with the Massachusetts, states
man. If Mr.. Smoot is guilty of the
charges lodged against him his seat
in the senate should be declared va
cant. but in the determination of his
guilt Or innocence the senate should
be free to consider the facts without
any outside influence To hold that
any such influence is necessary is to
imply that the senators would not
voluntarily perform their sworn duty.
The question to be determined in
Mr. Shoots case is undoubtedly one
of civil nature. for polygamy is be-
yond the pale of religious privilege,
but the petitions with which the SEN
ate is being flooded represent a SEN
timent which is about nine-tenths re-
ligious prejudice against the Mormon
faith and one-tenth protest against
the crime of polygamy.
If Mr. Smoot has been guilty of
the practice of polygamy he is clear
~ disqualified by law and should
be expelled from the senate, but it is
going too fir to say that he should
lose his place in the senate because
he belongs to a faith which counter.
ances polygamy or because some OF
the members of which practice it.
The question to be determined Is
clearly one of personal conduct, for
by no other means could Mr.. Smoot
violate the law. He has a perfect
right to believe in polygamy as a part
OF his religious faith. but if he makes
no attempt to put his belief into prac.
tice he has violated no law and
should receive no punishment. I'm
der such circumstances he is rather
to be commended for obeying the
law in spite of his religious training
and belief.
No effort should be spared to stamp
out the curse of poiygamy but the
American people want Mr.. Shoots
case determined upoa it's merits un.
influenced by religious zeal or preju
dice.

Writing in the Chicago American.
Duncan Curry, the yachting expert,
says:
Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger
for the America cup, Shamrock III,
the hope of Britain and the apple of
Designer Flies eye, was dry locked
at the Erie basin June 10. For the
first time her graceful hull and pow
erful lines were revealed to American
yachtsmen in all their strength and
beauty.
The new challenger made a favor
able impression to everyone, and the
more you look at her the more certain
becomes the conviction that she is 60
ing to be a hard boat to beat under
any and almost all conditions.
When the waters of Gowanus Bay
fell away from her snow white enam-
eled steel hull, it was as though some
one had pulled a dirty brown curtain
in an art gallery and revealed some
ancient Grecian marble statue. AS the
dock slowly emptied its foul water
through the sideways, exposing her
beautiful lines to view, there was a
general murmur of admiration, and.
as one designer put it, "she is a won
derfully modelled boat of absolutely
fair lines and beautifully finished"
This does not mean that the cup is
lost by any means, but that our
yachtsmen will have to be up and
Going to beat this new challenger is
certain; and If the Reliance can beat
this boat very much in going to wind
ward, the writer and several other
people will be surprised. But to get
back to the boat.
Shamrock HI is a beautiful creation
and is well put together. She shows
beautiful deck lines, looking from her
taffrail forward. She has a nice sheer
and a view of her sheer plan would
probably bear strong resemblance
to that of Shamrock II, although her
lateral plane has not been cut away
so much. Her lateral plane appears
to be cut away to about the same ex-

tent as the Reliance's, but it's area is
greater.
The beam of the challenger is much
farther forward than in Shamrock
1, and her run has been carried out to
a wider taffrail than was shown in
Shamrock II.
She has a well-turned bow, fairly
sharp, although there is an outward
curve all the way down Her en-
trance must be good and she is not
likely to be stopped up by a head sea
in a light air. This curving of her
sides is carried clear to the end of
the counter. Her bilges are very easy
and at the midship section the curve
seems very moderate.
The depth to the rabbet is greater
than in any challenger since Valkyrie
III, giving considerable more dead rise
than might be expected in a modern
cup challenger. With this quick rise
there is fairness of floor a soft curve
being carried to the turn of the bilge
In all she is yacht to be greatly ad
mired, even more so, perhaps than our
modern American racers, with their
bodies constantly approaching the out
and-out scow form.

A Summer Millionaire

Jimmy Baker is a journeyman bar
Der. Last July he got on a good
thing" at a racetrack and won 1920.
He Immediately resigned his position
and started to take a two weeks va
cation. He had heard some of the
patrons of the downtown barber shop
where he worked talking about Ocon-
omowoc as being a dead sweF place,
and he decided that 1t would just
about suit him SO long as his $12O
held out.
He took a fine room at the swell
est" hotel and started in to try to en-
Joy himself. But nobody at the hotel
seemed to be anxious to make his &C
quaintance. Even the pretty young
woman in blue and pink Powered shirt
waist who acted as telegraph opera
tor IN the hotel lobby was exceedingly
chilly. In the big hotel dining room
the summer girls and their guardian
mammas never even seemed to see
Jimmy, though he never came in I'M
til everybody else was seated and vas
always careful to comb his hair into
elaborate semi-circles on either side
his forehead
Four or five days had gone by in
this way and Jimmy was almost ready
snare and a delusion.
Meanwhile the small blond young
woman who sent and received mes
sages had unconsciously twined her
self tightly into the tendrils of jim
my's helpless affection. Time after time
Jimmy sauntered airly up to her desk
and made some playful remark which
was intended to be fascinating. But
It was no use Miss Maginn always
looked up with a sober and business
like air and inquired whether he was
expecting a message.
That finally gave him an idea. He
had never received but two messages
by telegraph in his life, but there
seemed to be no reason why he should
not get q few. He sat down and
wrote q long letter to one of the boys
In the barber shop at Chicago.
That evening Jimmy spent in pain
fully watching a dance in the hotel
dining room, watching with envious
eyes young man in white yachting
suit as he whirled the beauteous Miss
Maginn round the long room in a
waltz. And Miss Maginn never even
glanced in his direction.
Dear mel What a change there
was in the morning When Jimmy
came down into the lobby on his way
to breakfast pretty Miss Maginn. look
ing as fresh as daisy before the sun
had slipped the dew from its petals.
looked up at him with a smile.
MIR. Baker" she called to him, I've
q message here for you. 1 fancy it's
an important one"
Jimmy took the yellow envelope with
what he tried to make bored express
sion. He leaned carelessly against
the ornamental railing about Miss Ma
ginn's desk, tore open the envelope.
unfolded the message. and read it

lake that afternoon. He was all aSone
in the boat with the youngest of the
old lady's three pretty daughters
When the boat keeled over under the
wind Jimmy could hardly help sitting
close to her indeed, but she didn't
seem to mind it a bit Once a sud
den gust of wind almost capsized the
little craft and after it had righted
again the pretty skipper looked at
Jimmy with an arch smile and said:
We'll, that was a close shave, wasn't
it?"
Jimmy blushed a rosy red and looked
at her a second time. But he decided
that she didn't mean it,
When they started out Jimmy had
seen Miss Maginn watching them out
of the hotel windows. Now, as they
drew near the landing he saw her
again, standing out on the end OF the
pier waving a handkerchief SIS if to
beckon them in
20, Mr.. Baker," she called before
the boat had been tied up, heres an
important message for you. I think
it wants an immediate answer
Jimmy wondered what was coming
now-s He tore the envelope and read:
James Baker, Oconomowoc, Wis:
million bushels for a profit of sixty
thousand? T. s. Sullivan"
Nothing important" said Jimmy.
81 wish l could get the boys not to
bother me about tribes when I'm on
my vacation"
Then he helped his fair partner out
of the boat and walked up to the hotel
with one of the girls on each side Of
him.
Jimmy did not stay out the whole
two weeks. At the end of the tenth
day he discovered that he had just
money enough left to pay his car fare
back to Chicago after the hotel bill was
settled. So ne took his departure be-
tween dinner and breakfast. He left
at least two girls behind him who had
taken his proposal of marriage under
consideration for few days. Doubt
less they are still wondering what
ever became Of him.-Chicago Tri-

THEY DO NOT WANT RICHES.

One Owns a Silver Mine and the
Other a HeaIth-Giving Spring.
81 know two men in Colorado" said
Col Alexander, an officer in the
army, who may be ranked as pecu-
liar characters. One of them owns
the greatest silver mine in the state
and does not develop it, and the
other owns a hot springs which is a
marvel in it's curative properties and
he does nothing to encourage people
to come to it. The mine owner digs
out some silver ore from time to
time, puts it in a sack and carries it
to Denver where he sells it. In this
manner he gets enough money to sup
ply his necessities, but he will do
nothing more. He might become a
silver king if he would develop that
mine and take out the wealth of sill
yer. 1 can't say why he will not do
SO, but he won't, and that is all there
is to it.
1.-THE other fellow has a spring that
is wonderful and those who could
stand the treatment they received at
his place have been cured of chronic
ailments of a most serious nature. He
has a few tumbledown cabins about.
and with nothing in the way of luxu-
ries or even comforts. If he would
put up a good hotel and make bis
place attractive for sick people he
would have great crowds there. but
that is something he will not do.
He says those who want tie bene-
fit of his spring must take what they
find and be satisfied with what salts
fies him. If they don't Ike it they
needn't come is the way he puts it.
and he cannot be induced to make
do SO.'

his pipe. 1T is a useless habit, and
yet probably none of you could give

broke in-'I knew a fellow down in
Nebraska, who smoked ten ounces a
day, and yet gave it up at a min
ute's notice, and never touched it
again. Fact, / assure you," he re-
sumed, as a murmur of unbelief arose.
He was lighting his pipe when some
thing came to him, and from that
day to this he never smoked another.

You really ought to learn, Mr..

There's to be a dance over at the Mer-

you'd learn quickly"

I'll be delighted said Jimmy. ''Tll

Jimmy started to walk away from
the desk when Miss Maginn called
him back. That message came col
lect. Mr.. Baker. Shall 1 put 1t on
your room bill?"
why, yes said Jimmy in lordly
way. "Or, wait a minute. I'll pay it
now. l hate these extras on ones
hotel bills"
He pulled out his diminishing roll
OIL bills and put Miss Maginn to the
trouble of changing the only twenty
he had left. Then he left her in a
most excited and delighted state of
mind. On his way across the hotel
lobby he pulled one hand out of his
coat pocket. With it came the tele-
graph message and dropped unnoticed
on the floor.
He was at the breakfast table when
the mother of the three charming
young women who sat at the next
table came hurrying up.
rs this Mr.. Baker?''
YES? Well, 1 found a telegram
of yours on the floor in the hotel lobby.
I'm glad to be able to return it to
you. It's too bad for you to sit over
here all alone at this table when we
have an extra place at ours. We'd be
delighted to have you join us, Mr.. Ba-
kerr
Jimmy decided as he accepted the
pressing invitation to change his seat
that the boys in the barber shop had
builded better than they knew. After
a pleasant breakfast with the three
tation to go out yachting with one of
them in the afternoon and then
strolled out into the hotel lobby again.
Miss Maginn looked up at him with
a ravishing smile on her face
May l have q blank and a pencil?"
he asked. thank you I'll send an
answer to that telegram
This is what he wrote:
z. S. SULLIVAN, Chicago. ILL.,: Use
your own judgment about selling. Don't
bother me about details I am trying
to rest James Baker"
Send it paid, please" said Jimmy
as he laid half a dollar on the desk.
The look that grew in Miss Maginn' s
beautiful eyes as she read over the
careless message in which Mr. Baker
put away from him a mere matter OF
5000 900 might well have warmed the
heart of a colder man than Jimmy.
You won't forget our dancing les

HIS SANITY OF VALUE NOW
st. Louis Man Has Reason to Want
Ban Removed.

Ban Removed.
An unusual procedure is being taken
by Siegfrfed Pariser, of ST. Louis, to
have people know he is not crazy, as
he was adjudged twelve years ago by
the German court of Berlin
He, through his attorney, Sig. G.
Gelbart, makes application to be
judged sane by law, SO he can carry
on his affairs according to American
laws and customs.
Back of this phase of the case there
sleeps a story which is told of how
PARSER had trouble with young wo-
man of Berlin, and to escape punish
ment for an indiscretion, had himself
declared of unsound mind.
Now he wishes to be restored
legally-to the right senses that never
left him at all, it appears.
Still another motive seems to be an
important factor in the suppliant's ar
gument, but which is not made public
in the petition 1t is said that a por-
ton of an estate belongs to Pariser,
but the 5000 or more that may come
to him is tied up because the German
edict as to his sanity still stands

partner, Chamberlain In the early
days he saved Chamberlain from the

only case on record in the county
