WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Utah was
wv not represented on the house side
at the opening Of congress today,
Representative Howell not having
rea ched the capital. On the senate side
both senators were present, and in the
general greeting and hand shaking
which marked the assemblage of the
senate both Kearns and Smoot re-
ceived hearty welcome from their fell
low senators. In the elaborate floral dis
play which has become TIE chief fea-
ture Of the opening day in the senate
both senators were remembered by
friends. KeaTns' desk was ornamented
with a handsome bunch of delicately
tinted chrysanthemums, while Smoot
was almost hidden from view by two
tall bouquets Of roses His neighbor.
Senator Hepburn, was also almost in
conspicuous because Of an immense
basket of flowers which doomed above
and beyond him.
The Mormon Issue.
On the Democratic side Of the cham
Der the floral display was more modest
and on the desk of Senator Dubois
simply a bouquet of roses.
Both Utah senators today expressed
their intention of doing all they could
during the coming session to improve
the material welfare of Utah. Senator
Kearns will make an earnest effort to
secure the enlargement and improve
ment of Fort Douglas and to secure
the passage Of his bill to provide serv-
ice pensions for survivors Of Utah
Indian wars. He intimated that there
also would be something doing this
session in the SmoOt case, but was not
prepared at this time to make further
comment upon it.
mo Flowers"
Senator Hepburn today took sharp
issue with his colleague, Senator Du
bois, who stated in a recent interview
that the Mormon vote Of Idaho went
solidly against the Democratic ticket
in the recent election.
Hepburn asserts that Idaho went Re
publican in November because there
were enough straight Republicans in
the state to make that majority. There
was 40 Mormon issue. Some people
thought there was. We knew there
wasn't and simply kept on talking
straight politics"
An article i'm yesterdays issue of the
New York Herald, written and signed
by Senator Dubois, is attracting much
attention here today. The article
in question is a comprehensive his
tcrical sketch of MOrmonism and
treats of the temporal and political
growth of the Mormon church. especi-
ally in more recent years. The article
does not take up the SmOot case, but
is considered timely reading in con-
nectiOn with it.

Providing water for a city that is sit

region Is work fraught with difficulties

must be solved for which there Is no
precedent tor guide. Originality, there

many matters that are inseparable from
the question Of providing an Increase in
the water supply of this city. Due al
lOwance should be made for this by the
taxpayers who are called upon to decide
this important question. a question which
involves the growth and greatness Of the
city.
The present water supply of the city is
derived from four separate sources. These
sources and the quantity of water that
each supplies daily during the season OF
minimum flow are as follows:

streams is Of well known purity and is
so situated that it can be brought into
the city by gravity through works which
will cost infinitely less than those need

any other possible source. But the wa

What the City Can Do.

Under the Law the CITY has the right 10
borrow for water artificial light and
sewer improvements the sum OF SL250.0Q0.

ordered 60 boz voted upon is for the issu-
auce OF 100000 I'm bonds OF which sum

maneut water supply several times the

parts Of the city. an Improvement that
would be worse than useless unless more
water Is secured 10 make II cffcCtuai
BY way Of Information the taxpayer will
probably ask specifically how the interest
is tO be- raised on this ISSUE of bonds and
whether q means an increase i'm taxation.
The answer VIII doubtless be norc pleas
5ng than ne imagined. Ii may De stated
first OF all that no increase of taxation
is contemplated. An examination of the
records of the waterworks department
covering "A long period of years proves
cOnclusively that the revenues in that
branch of the municipality alone are
more than ample TO pay the annual inter-
est of the proposed water bond issue. Be
sides. these revenues are constantly in
creasing at rate exceeding . per cent
each year; and that, too, in the face OF
an inadequate water supply and retarded
growth in population. The figures which
follow entirely justify the conclusion that
with numerical augmentation of people,
an increase I'm wealth and property i'm
provement, and consequently a greater
taxpaying capacity. that there will bc Il
still greater revenue from this depart

If any one at social gathering were
to say that an actor or actress cannot
be presented at the English court the
statement would be received with sur
prise and doubt, and yet it is an abso-
lutte fact. When or how the ban was
established need not be dealt with here
but the old prejudice that in other cen
turies put the poor player outside III,

sacraments still lingering survives in
the etiquette of IN unprejudiced court

actors who were honored in the present

king and the royal family toward the

A dramatic author, a composer. a lyric
