The interest in the case of Senator
smoot, the hearing of which will be be-
gun before the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections to-day, is
very general. There is a widespread
belief that the Mormons are not loyal
to the government, that they are look
ing forward to a time when they will
be able to act independently of it and
teach and practice in their religion
what they please. This belief may do
them injustice. Whether it does or not
will probably be disclosed in the inves-
tigation that is to be made of the
charges against Senator Smoot.
1t is charged that he is member of
an oath bound organization which
places the Mormon Church higher than
the government and that he regards
his church obligations more binding
than his obligations to his country.
The leading men of the Mormon
Church have been summoned to Wash
ington and able lawyers will represent
each side of the case. If there is any
disloyalty in Mormonism it is pretty
certain to be brought out before the
investigation is ended.
OF course women are behind the in
vestigation. Some of them are animat-
ed by a feeling of hostility to Mormon
ism, even though it is just what Sena-
tor Smoot and other leading Mormons
claim it is. The fact that Mormon ED
ers are making proselytes all the time
in various parts of the country is re-
sented, and there is being manifested a
desire to put stop to their work of this
kind. There is no doubt that the inves-
tigation will be followed with deep in
terest.

AN ExPENsIVE PREsInENT.

On Monday the Senate discussed at
considerable length the improvements
recently made in the White House.
sion didn't seem to think much had
been received for the money expended.
The amount was $475,445. For that
sum very handsome residence could
have been built, but expended upon
the White House it is practically i'm
Some of the congressman seem to be
of the opinion that the President is
costing the country a good deal of
money for improvements of one kind
and another on the White House
grounds and in connection with the
presidential establishment. They are
talking of him as the millionaire Presi-
dent, not because he is a rich man,
since it is probable that he has only
a moderate fortune, but because he is
all the time wanting Congress to make
improvements of some sort at the
tirely satisfactory to former Presi-
dents, to Cleveland, Harrison and Nc
Kinley, fail to meet the approval of
President Roosevelt.
1t is pointed out that since he has
been President there has been spent
by Congress on the White House, and
on yachts and stables for the Presi-
dents comfort and pleasure the very
large sum of $s1O.61O. That is a pretty
big sum to be spent for the satisfaction
of the President in less than three
years. 1t is probably much more than
twice as much as was spent in the
same way at the request of any other
President.
1t is frequently pointed out that
while the President of the United
States has really more authority and
power than the King of England he
has salary of only $4,000 a year, but
1t seems that besides that amount a
great deal is spent indirectly for the
support of the presidential office. For
instance, it is stated that in 1901 and
1902 the cost Of refitting and repairing
the yacht Mayfiower for the Presl-
dents use was $65,00O. 1t is probable
that the President wasn't responsible
for the large amount spent In remod-
cling the White House, but such extern
sive changes wouldn't have been made
in the building, in all probability. il he
hadn't expressed his dissatisfaction
with IL as It was.

Rev. Father Tracy, a ST. Louis

smoothing out the differences between
Jack Powell. star pitcher for the st.

THE PEOPLES INTEREST FIRST.

Some of Congressman Testers friends
have been urging him to come home
and go over his district, so that his
constituents may see that he is
the same "Rufe Lester" whom they
have always been glad to see
and welcome. but in characteristic
answer to a letter from one of his
friends, who advised him to take a
brief vacation and canvass his dis
trict, he says he has no right to leave
Washington when there are so many
important public matters requiring his
attention.
The consideration of the rivers and
harbors bill begins this week. and he
hopes to get the appropriation neces-
sary to make a survey for a deeper
channel for Savannah harbor. There
are other matters of interest to the
people in several parts of his district
which require his personal attention,
and, to use his own words, he doesn' I
"think it right to leave" while there
are duties to be attended to in WASH
ington.
His constituents will appreciate full
ly his position. If there were more
congressman who attended to their du-
ties as Mr.. Lester does it would be
better for the country.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Mobile Register (Dem) says:
1.-THE general belief is that Mr.. Bryan
is already in alliance with Mr.. Hearst,
which, if a fact, would preclude mis-
making an alliance with Judge Parker.
1t is but fair to say, however, that Mr..
Bryan declares that he has no choice of
candidates and has no understanding
with any one of them"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem) says:
Congress continues to pass private
each pension day. If President
Roosevelt has ever vetoed any of these
grating measures the fact hasn't
been noted in the public prints. Grover
Cleveland was the only President that
ever had the nerve to protect the people
against this easy, but scandalous, form
of loot"
The Philadelphia Record Oem.)
says: "An arbitrary limit of eight
hours a day, as proposed by the bill in
Congress, for work on ships of war
would be as unjust to many working
men as a provision making a compul-
sorry labor day of sixteen hours. For
mechanics who work by the piece or
job a legal limit to their working hours
is a manifest iniquity. But socialism
and trades unionism put good and bad
mechanics on the same level as to the
rewards of their Tabor"
The Hartford CConn) Times (Dem.)
says: 1T looks now as If Mr.. Roose-
Welt would be renominated by his party
next June. But If anything serious
were TO happen to Mr. Roosevelt in the
meantime we have no doubt at all that
the party would turn TO Mr.. Cannon as
It's most available man. He Is far

CHATHAM's FARM LANDS.

There is no portion of Chatham coun-
ty that shows so many signs of inn
provement as that west of the city.
The lands along the. Augusta and
Louisville roads, and for considerable
distance south of these roads, never
appeared more attractive than at pres
ent. The, farms look neat and clean
and there is an appearance of thrift
and prosperity on every side. 1899 r.
The. drainage work there has been
done by the county authorities and the
cutting away. of timber and under
brush, due to the increasing demand
for fire wood, have opened up large
tracts of land that are available for
farming purposes. Cotton stalks are
now seen in spots-they have not been
seen in this county for many years be-
fore--showing that some of the, negro
farmers of this country believe in
planting cotton. Those who acted on
this belief the past season were fortu-
nate.
The Morning News has repeatedly
called attention to the advantages
offered in this county for the cultiva-
ton of cotton. There is no doubt that
it could be- grown probably in all parts
of the county. particularly sea island
cotton. ~
Those who feel an interest in the
county cannot but feel large measure
of satisfaction at the very marked i'm
provement in the part of the county re-
ferred to. 1t is well understood of
course that much of the improvement
is due to drainage and to good roads.
The first gives assurances of good
health and the latter affords easy ac-
cess to market. These two agencies
will, in the course of time, bring about
an entire change in the face of the
county. Instead of being a wilderness,
practically, the county will be dotted
all over with farms.

Tennyson,s Fenr.

Lord Tennyson, who is now on his
way home to England at the conclu-
sion of his term as governor general
of Australia, after five years spent in
the antipodes, is. to be advanced to
the rank of a viseount for his services,
says a writer in the Washington Post.
He has the Christian name of Hallam,
which was the patronymic of the most
intimate friend of his father. Hallam
had consented to act as godfather, but
nobody had decided on the name which
the child was to receive. up to the
time when the christening party ar
rived at the church. In fact, nobody
seems to have thought about the mat
ter. @
what shall we call him?" asked
Hallam, when the party arrived at the
font. et
"oh -Hallam. suppose replied the
bard.
But why not Alfredo" suggested
Hallam.
"WeTl,' said the infants father, 81
had thought of that-but suppose he
should turn out to be a fool?''
