The proceedings OF the committee
now investigating the Smoot case, so
far az they have been reported, do not
reflect any great credit on the com.

who are at the back of 1t. A whole ses-

PROBLEMS OF THE TIME.

There are many questions that might
probably occupy the attention of the
philanthropists and statesmen OF this
country, IN preference to the so.called
Mormon question, which does not
need their sasacity They would not
overlook this fact, were 1t not that the
old custom OF straining ut a gnat and
swallowing a camel stlll prevails among
Pharisecs and hypocrites.
For instance, on one Of the islands Of
the state OF Maine, q short time ago,
some religious fanatics, II IL said, we've

efforts TO east out the devil They

murderous doctrines, The Watchdog
are silent, IN the presence Of such
strange occurrences In the otherwise
sensitive East And this Is all the more
peculiar, since this Is not the only
strange doctrine heard in the land. The
New York Evening Mail says;

Arizona Republican,

It would be an impossible task for
the most Jealous enemies Of the Nor
mons to point out practicable course
different from that which has been pur-
sued by the polygamlsts, The poly
gamists were found UNFOLDING course
which has been properly condemned by
the world as inimlcal TO the best civ
ilizatlon and destructive OF the accept
ed tenets Of morality. Confronted by
this national condemnation, and by
laws which forbade the peculiar instI-
tuition" and, It is asserted, enlightened
by a revelation to the head Of the
Church from heaven, the polygamlsts
renowned that part OF their creed
which had countenanced polygamous
marriages. They agreed that they
would take no more wives. But what
were they to do with the wives they
already had? What sort OF morality
would 1t have been TO abandon the mis-
guided women who accepted this pc
cular marriage under the belief that
IL was altogether respectable, religious
and moral--a religious duty on their
part, IN fact? Ii would be n poor sort

From practical viewpoint, the whole
business Of the Smoot investigation Is
profitless TO the public good, All the
Mormons who now have more than one
wife are old men, there are bat a few
hundred Of them, No good can be ac-
compllshed by the investigation, and II
would have been infinitely better to
drop the investigation the moment II
was found hat Smoot himself was not u
polygamlst and never had been, The
senate, as the sole Judge OF the quail
licatlons Of It's members might have
elected Mr., SmOot because Of lack Of
responsibility had II been shown that
he was a polygamlst, but n no be un-

SNOW FOR LUNG TROUBLES

What the human system can become
accustomed 10 in the shape of ex-
tremes Of temperature has recently
been illustrated In the experience Of
gntleman who, according to the New
York Tribune, last winter, was In the
habit of taking baths In the snow, and
enjoyed the plunge" immensely Two
years ago he was given up by the ply
slcans as lncurable. He suffered from
consumption. and other members of
his family hadsdiedsof that disease.
Then he determined to try the open air
treatment. He took out the windows
in his bedroom, and slept there one
winter, Then he moved his bed into
a tent. OF his snow bath, he says:
Early last March began by taking
or my shoes and stockings and walk
ing barefooted In the snow, Then this
winter began going In all over, wear.

curry as low as II degrees above zero,

II lasts only an instant, When
come out my body is all aglow ]
have not gained vastly In weight, but
| am tougher and In better condition,
My lungs are healed and do not ex-
perlence any pain"
Consumption is a disease that yearly
carries Off great number OF people In
all parts Of the world, Any suggestion
as to It's treatment Is therefore OF value,
The gentleman claims to have derived
great benefit from the cold baths. That
suggests a mountain region, rather than
a coast, as the ideal resort for consump-
tives. They used to go to California,
to enjoy the ocean b. aezes and the mild
climate. They should rather stop In
the mountain canyons, wnere fresh air
and pure snow can be enjoyed all the
year round. Utah would be an ideal
place for sufferers from pulmonary
troubles.

The United States Consul at Beirut,
Syria, reports the fact that the camel
Is still able, as beast Of burden, TO
successfully compete with the railroads
operated in Syria and Palestine. This
Is thought strange by some, since the
railroads in other countries have broken
up the business Of oxen and mules, But
the railroads in Syria are not like rail-
roads in other parts Of the world, A
camel train can at times successfully
compete with them in swiftness and
cost OF operation.

lowing comment;
THE frequent lynching ana torture
OF colored individuals, here and there,

not before attained the proportions OF

A RIDICULOUS LlBELLER,

We publish today the report from
n Michigan paper Of an interview with
T.. n. McGurrn Of this city. 1t viii be
found on another page. We reproduce
Il In full, so that the people here may
know what is said about them else
where by one who, from his long resi-
dcnce, should be able to tell the truth
concerning local affairs
II the statements he has made had
appeared only In the paper from which
we copy. verbatim, We might not have
paid much attention TO them, But the
Deaver Post had previously reported
him IN q similar vein, and other papers
had done the same and 1t seemed AZ
Trough he had made his trip to the
cast the occasion Tor venting his AMI
mostly and distributing hls falschoods,
about a people who have never done
him any harm and with many OF whom
he has been on amicablc business rela-
tons
His first assertion Is that Senator
Reed Smoot Is a sworn enemy to the
United States, who represents body
Of men who have taken the oath Of
vengeance against the government, and
who declare themselves to owe no
allegiance TO the country" Whoever
I. f. McGurrin may mean by this libel,
his assertion IL duory void Of truth
and brands his brow with a mark of
burning shame, Reed smoot represents
The entire people Of Utah and more par.
ticularly the party that elected him.
Have the Republicans who voted for
and supported Mr. smoot taken such an
oath as that alleged? We presume the
man that made the assertion win say
he didn't mean them, But his language
covers the entire Republican party OF
Utah for II Us that pary that Senator
Smoot especially represents,
II this position Is eyaded by the claim
that the Mormon Church was meant
by the libollor, the assertion Is equally
untrue. Neither Mr.. smoot nor any
other member Of that Church has taken
any such oath or obligation. ON the
contrary they are by their religion
pledged to support the Constitution and
government OF their country and ia
yield "subjcction to the powers that be"
J.. T., McGurrin has placed himself ON
record by the side Of those shameless
known dofamcrs Of the Church who are
desplsed for bearing false witness
against their relghhors,"
Next he states that "all mandates Of
the Church ana state are dlyinely or.
derod The Mormous believe II firmly"
u he Is not az ignorant Of the truth as
;he meanest cur on the streets Of this
city, he knows that this assertion Is
utterly false and inexcusable. The same

vengeance against the government
that no declares are taken by
every good Mormon who passe.
