MUSIC AND REVERY

The chimes chant eight from a tower
near by,
And the echoes fall as soft from each dy-
ing note,
As sighs escaped from a lassie's heart.
AS tears in a -maiden's eyes are want
to float.
The gentle thoughts kindled by the in
mates of the Spire,
Thus; are not left to fit in wanton
fight
Whittier they list. or pause for deeper
insight,
But born along by new control regard
less of all rights.
Unheralded it came; pouring, surging.
rushing, creeping;
Like crested waves dancing, or solemn
pillows penance completing,
Issuing from a church near by uplfted,
Mine and other souls, thus its mission
repleting.
Every pulse this wondrous music thrills,
Now, ceasing. in the lost murmuring,
dying notes,
Still sweetly soothing holds communion
with the soul.
Proxying the soul from whose finger
tips it upward floats

Shep has a record TO be proud of.
1t is something like 1000 miles. Of which
considerable was on foot. Shep is dog,
a Scotch collie, the property of C. Carlton
Woodward. He is of the average size and
more than usually well covered with long,
/ yellow hair, which turns 10 black on the
tip ends.
Born somewhere in Montana he found
his way TO kIondike, where. in Dawson
City, in 1902, he was purchased by Mr..
Woodward, to become one of a team to
draw a sled from there to Fairbanks,
$50 miles away. He was bought at a bar
gain. too, for he cost only so, and showed
such intelligence that he was made leader
of the team.
Not counting his trip from Montana to
Dawson City, Shops travels since Mr..
Woodward has owned him have been as
follows: From Dawson TO Fairbanks,
pulling a sled, go miles; from there down
the Tanana river. by boat. $50 mics;
thence to White Horse, walking and sled
ding 450 miles; thence to Skagway. by
train, 10 miles; thence to Seattle. by boat
1,O0O miles: thence to San Francisco, by
rail, 400 miles; next to Panama, where he
suffered greatly from the heat, by boat:
across the Isthmus by rail-forty-seven
miles that took three hours-up TO New
York. by boat, and from there to this
city. by rail. making up the 1900 miles.
The past week Shep started for the KIon-
dixie again.
Shep does his fifty miles a day walking

Import of the smoOt Hearing.



From the testimony so far submitted
In the course of the Smoot investigation,
IL is quite clearly established that MOT
mOnism Is a religion that not only Jnsu-
flies but teaches the violation Of the law.
This is one Of two essential facts which
the senatorial committee must determine
before passing final Judgment as 10
whether Senator SmOOt Is eligible TO re-
tain his seat. The other fact pertains 70
the character of oath which binds him IN
conscience TO that organization as an
apostle and leader. The investigation mas
not as yet disclosed aught or the nature
OF this obligation It is yet matter OF
doubt whether, at least in its technical
sense, the oath binds the attestant 10 the
support of principles and policies which
are in conflict with the laws of the Unit
ed States. An affirmative disclosure IN
this respect Will undoubtedly unseat the
Utah senator, but in the absence OF sucIi
disclosure there is still debatable ground
on which his fitness for the retention or
the office may fairly be discussed.
lit Is admitted on every hand that Sena-
tor Smoot is not guilty of such violations
of law as have been openly acknow lodged
by President Smith, but IT remains for the
senate committee TO determine how far
polygamy is still a living article of the
Mormon faith, and what turpitude at
taches to the leaders of the church in
maintaining the allegation Of its divine
origin, and the ethical correctness Of this
practice. If the oath to which Apostle
Smoot has subscribed is merely a general
statement of allegiance TO the rules Of
the Mormon church, IL Is then pertinent
for the committee TO reach a determine
ton, not only as 10 the letter, but TO the
spirit of these rules If as matter Of
conscience. in cOntradiStinctiOn TO law,
the church still teaches that pOlySamy
has the warrant of divine revelation, and
that for TEMPORAL reasons only it is sus-
pended. the American people will heardly
take kindly TO the idea that one of its
twelve apostles may with propriety oc-
cupy seat in the highest legislative body
in the land

MoRMoNIsM AND PoLYGAMY.
Question of Common Law That is at
Issue.
Detroit Tribune.)

Poiygamy is a common topic OF discus
sion because OF the investigation of Sen
ator Smoot. the Mormon Plurality OF
wives IS forbidden by the law OF the
lanu. IL is offensive in the sight OF
modern civilization but IL is a more
ancient relation perhaps than the mono
gamous state Mormonism il reversion

was once common I'm all prosperous couu-
tries The rich man took as many wives
as happened 10 please him, provided ne
could give them support. The poor man.
at best, had to be content with one, and
since the rich had the first choice. the
poor man was limited TO a selection from
the less desirable helpmeets. To him fell
the ugly. the shrewish. the diseased. de-
formed and the otherwise unattractive.
Since the proportion of men and women
in a natural state OF society is nearly
equal. it was an inevitable consequence
that certain men could have no wives at
all. We can not vi pr that pOlygamy
was abolished by law as soon as the peO-
pie, became influential in government.
The Mormon dates his religion back
about 1890 years. He reads in holy writ
the promise Of God to Abraham; Il viii
make thy seed as the dust of the earth;
SO that If a man can number the dust Of
the earth then shall thy seed be num-
bered Arise, walk through the land In

DIPPING IN TOO DEEP.
Investigation Has Gone Farther Than
First Intended.
Omaha Bee.)

The Investigation of the Smoot case by
the committee on privileges and elections
much farther than was expected, or per-
haps intended. when the investigations
was-instituted. o. The constitution provides
that each house of congress shall be the
sole judge of the election and qualifica-
tions Of its members. so that the propri-
ETY. OF the inquiry under this provision
of the organic law is, OF course, unques-
tiOnable. But ir extending il so as to
embraces an investieation of the tenets
of the Mormon church and the practices
of certain members of that church who
have nothing whatever 70 do with the
case of Mr.. SmOOt, it would seem that the
committee has gone beyond its proper
function and has opened up matter that
may have unfortunate consequences.
As we understand the case, the COM
mittee's duty was simply to inquire as to
the election and qualifications of Smoot.
As to his election. there is no question
IN regard to its regularity. He was chOS-
en- by the legislature of Utah in entire
conformity with the law. The fact that
the church of which he is a member had
any agency or influence in his election
should not be considered. He has the
same right 10 be a member of the Nor
mon church as every other American cit
iZen has 10 belong to a religious sect or
denomination whose doctrines and teach
ings he believes in. Liberty of conscience
Is guaranteed TO every citizen of the re-
public. The free exercise of religion is
provided for in the bill of rights. Mr..
SmoOt could not justly, therefore, be ex-
cluded from the national senate on the
ground that he is member of the Nor
mon church. Furthermore. il has been
shown that he is not disqualified on the
ground of polygamy, not having violated
the law in this regard. While II Is true
I. that there are Mormons who are polyg-
amtsts, the church does not now cOunte-
nance plural marriages and SmOOt is in
accord with the church in this respect
He is nowise accountable for the con-
duct Of others. and il would manifestIy
be unjust to hold him responsible for it.
His religious belief he Is entitled to and
IL would be gross violation of a well
settled and sacred American principle to
punish him for II.
It is perhaps unfortunate that the leg
islature Of Utah did not elect to the SEN
ate man outside the Mormon church.
but having done SO. there appears 10 be
no valid reason why Mr.. Smoot should
not be allowed to represent that state in
the senate The committee on privileges
and elections has gone to an indiscreet
and wholly unnecessary extent in it's in
vestigation, the tendency of which may
be to create in the country troublesome
religious contention.

Autonomy For the Panama

HOUSE COMMITTEE LISTENS TO
GENERAL DAVIS.

Washington, March 1.-THE house
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce today continued its hearings
on the question of legislation to govern
the Panama canal zone. General Davis
and Prof Burr, members of the new
canal commission. We're heard today.
General Davis called attention to the
provisions for executive regulations
contained in the bill providing for the

Suggesting the machinery for the

the appointment of a governor or pre-

addition there should be a secretary Of
state, an attorney general, treasurer.
sanitarian, superintendent Of schools,
justices Of the peace, police judge and
three judges of courts of the frs in
stance.
Expect Tough Citizens.
The work of sanitation would cost
100000 the first year. and the policing
OF the zone would necessitate the ex-
penditure Of $4,000 year. Autonomy
for the people Of the zone, General
Davis believed To be a thing for distant
consideration. The nature of the work
would attract the rOugher or criminal
classes. The total cost of administer
ing the government after preliminary
expenditures had been met would
amount to 81, O00,00O according 10 the
belief of General Davis.
Leaving out the question of politics,
General Davis said that coolie labor
would be the most economical in the
building of the canal. He thought the
zone and the cities of Panama and
Colon could he made as healthful as
Havana or other tropical countries. and
that the health of Americans neces-
saTily need not suffer, although Ameri-
cans would not do the work of laborers
there. The prevailing wages of the
canal now, he said, were from fifty to
sixty cents a day.
Professor Burr declared that he con-
