four of the fourteen trading divisions

TEST OF SUBMARINE BOATS
Sham Battle Fought in Harbor of
Portsmouth

New York, March 10.-A remarkable
test of submarine boats has been made
at Portsmouth, according to Herald
dispatch from London In the course
of the maneuvers now in progress there
it was decided to attack the defenses
of the harbor and learn what could be
done by the submarines in repelling
the attack.
The assailant was the home fleet UNI
der Admiral Wilson, consisting of four
battleships with five cruisers, which
received orders to force an entrance
into Portsmouth harbor. The subma-
rine flotilla was aware that the attack
would be made at night, and when the
battleships were within range of the
forts the latter opened a terrific fire.
Under cover of this cannonade four
torpedo destroyers put to sea- and
steamed toward the assailants. Along
side each destroyer and close under her
port beam was a submarine, screened
from the battleshirs.
The destroyers approached within
striking distance of the battleships
amid a fearful roar of blank ammuni-
ton from the forts and ships. When the
appointed distance had been reached

THE sMoor CASE.

[From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch]
Stripped of all cant and rhetoric, the
question in the Smoot case concerns
only Shoots character as a law-abid-
ing citizen.
Plural marriages were forbidden in
the territory in 1880 by act of congress.
On July 16, 1894, an act of congress.
enabling the people of Utah to form a
constitution and state government and
TO be admitted into the union on an
equal footing with the original states.
became a law. This act required that
the constitution to be adopted should
provide that perfect liberation of re-
ligious sentiment be guaranteed, and
that no inhabitant of the state should
ever be molested in person or property
on account of his or her mode of re-
hgious worship. but that polygamous
or plural marriages are forever pro-
hibited"
In pursuance of this act a convention
was held and adopted a constitution
guaranteeing religious liberty and pro-
hibiting plural marriages. Such mar
riages, therefore. are now unlawful un-
der the law of Utah. The state was
admitted January 6, 1896.
1t appears from the confession OF
President Joseph Smith that while plu-
raj marriages may not now be cele-
brated, those contracted before the
state was admitted-forbidden by this
act of congress Of 1Ss0-are recognized
in practice and polygamous relations
are continued.
With the question of conscience con.
gress has nothing to do. The senate
may ask only whether Smoot is him
self guilty of unlawful practices I
he obeys the law it is of no conse
quenee to the senate what Smith anC
the other elders do. Smoot may thinl
and believe what he likes. That is be
tween him and his conscience. But h
must obey the law That is the onl,
question to be considered.

rural free delivery was designed to ac-
conmodate and why it should curtail
the usefulness of that service for the
benefit of the public carriers in COM
petition with the government. The po-
sition of the rural carriers is forcifully
presented by their official organ as fol-
lows:
The rural carrier. after making an
and necessary equipment, is paid $50
per month. After he pays SIS month
for the maintenance of his two horses
he has SIS left for the support of him
self and his family. which, if it
consist of wife and him
self. maybe able to get along
in some manner at the rate of
horse keep. but if he has to divide his
salary. half to horses and half to wife
and a family of children, he has Altman
cial problem on his hands. Has the
carrier right to a family?
The smallest merchant in the land, the
most insignificant huckster of collar
buttons in the city has at his conven-
fence a 81, 600 man to bring him his
mail. Why? Because he demands it.
He wants it delivered by man of re-
sponsibility and worth Shall the far
mer demand less?
Continuing, the Bee says:
There is a great deal more truth than
poetry in this pertinent inquiry. There
certainly is no good reason why. con-
gress should stint the rural free de-
livery service, which has become an in
dispensable adjunct to postal commune
