The man and woman who tried a bad
ger game on an old resident there a
few days ago and cleared $500 by the
transaction. left tonight for Portland.
The woman in the case Is rather
pretty. Her husband, it is said, is not
above aiding and abetting blackmail-
ing propositions. Both have lived in
Walla Walla for a number of years.
At an opportune time during a seance
between the wife and her new found
victim, the husband appeared flashing
a revolver and demanded $500 or
blood. The victim is a rather blood
less specimen Of humanity. but said
he could raise 5000. This sum he bor-
rowed and paid to his blackmailers.
Threats of vengeance from many peo-
pie here have caused the offending
couple to hasten their departure.

Loeb Garry has just been received
by us, and is particularly interesting.
The vessel left Melbourne for London
December IL. 1903, and arrived at
Graves-end February 20. 1904, after a
passage of so days. Captain Horne re-
ports strong and favorable winds COM

splendid sailing was made. In 13 con-

A View of the smoos Case.

The testimony brought out in the In
vestigation OF the case of Sentaor Reed
Smoot on Wednesday was interesting
and Instructive, as throwing light on
The history Of the Mormon church and
the prevailing beliefs and practices of
its members. but just what relevancy
large part of It had to the case of
Senator Smoot is not apparent. 1t was
shown by President Joseph Smith that
the Mormons believe that Joseph Smith
Jr., the founder of their church, was
visited by an "angel in black" who
made known 20 him revelation conn
manding polygamy. Polygamy was
subsequently, practiced until President
Woodruff was blessed with revelation
permitting its abolition. President
Smith also received few revelations
when in a state of inspiration" but
has had the misfortune never to have
encountered the "angel in black" He
and his fellow sectaries still think po-
lygamy right, although not necessary.
Now, none of these facts has been or
will be denied, we suppose. for none Of
them is at issue. The matter to be de-
tefmined by the investigation is not
whether the Mormons have a number
of peculiar religious beliefs, or whether
they regard the practice of polygamy
as consistent with religion and good
morals. The question is not even
whether Mr.. Smoot shares the object
ionable beliefs Of Mormonism. The
sole matter that ought to be deter
mined is whether or not Smoot has
violated or Is now violating the laws OF
the state or his country, or has COM
mitted or is committing any indecent
or immoral acts which unfit him to be
a United States senator. What Mr..
Smoot or anybody else believes in re-
gard to religion is not, In the
present instance, or at least ought not
to be. a matter Of inquiry.
The reason for this is obvious. To
take his mere beliefs and opinions into
account, or even to draw them forth
and exhibit them before the country
and thus bring ridicule upon him, is to
oersecute the Utah senator for his re- |
igion upon the pretense of protecting |
,ublic morals and thereby violate that
reedom of religious worship which Is
guaranteed by both the spirit and letter
# the laws and constitution of the
United States and of the several states.
10 long as he obeys the laws and COM
nits no overt act which outrages the
moral sensibiIities of the nation. Mr..
imoot is entitled. to the protection Of
IS laws and to whatever offices, prop
rty or other advantages he may ac-
uire under them. The fanatical and |
spirit which has been man
.ested in the Smoot case. does no !
