Lies Of Neighboring Sac.

FALSEHOOD THE NINETEENTH.
There was an eccentric. old charac-
ter in my part Of Washington years
ago." said the man from Puyallup. and
he was always making some odd thing.
I remember ore time the old man went
to work and built his coffin. He was
very handy with tools and made quite
q nice looking thing out Of it. He
polished it with great care, but put
no lining in il, saying there would
be plenty Of time to do that after lie
died. The coffin lay around for a year
or two and at length he concluded
TO put-it 70 some practical use pend
ing it's occupancy by himself. So he
moved il into the shed and for several
years the family used it to keep APP
pies. potatoes and other articles Of
food in. None of them appeared to
think the use TO which it was put was
anything unusual. They were all a
little queer anyway good deal like
the old man. But the old fellow never
got buried in it after all. He went
prospecting over into Idaho and was
blown up by a blast They never
found enough Of him 20 bring home.
out of respect to the old man no other
member Of the family would consent
to use the coffin for interment puT-
poses. SO they moved it out of the shed
TO the pump and it was still being
used as a horse trough the last time
1 saw it.

CONGRESS- RgvERsgs ITSELF.

II THE NATIONAL FEDERATION
Of Women's clubs in solemn conven-
tion assembled should on one day vote
with practical unanimity to do a GER
tain thing. and should vote on the next
day not 20 do that very thing, what
cackline would go up from the men OF
thu. country. Wouldn't we hear lot Of
sarcastic dissertations on the change
ability Of the feminine mind? Wouldn't
the husbands Of the land rise with one
accord to sheer and litter and gibe at
the gentler sex?
Now. the national house OF repre-
sentatives has done that very thing,
and the house is supposed TO be made
up Of the very brightest men in the
country. It's members are supposed TO
know, not only their own minds but the
minds Of all the voters in their dis
tricts. What shall we say, therefore, OF
such a spectacle as that of the house
declaring a thing is proper one day
and declaring it improper the next day?
Words fail US.
On Wednesday, Jan. 1S, the house
met in committee OF the whole to dis
cuss a bill which carried a large apprO-
priat ton for the civil service commits
sion. After a lengthy debate in which
8 liberal proportion Of the members
participated, it was decided to cut the
civil service commission of without a
dollar. This action was taken by q
very comfortable majority. On Thurs
day. Jan. Il, the house met again, but
not in committee, and again it discussed
the civil service commission appropri-
alton. At the end OF the debate and by
q vote Of 172 TO IS. the house declined
to adopt the amendment striking out
the paragraph containing the appro-
priation referred 70.
The difference, the bald, cowardly
difference, is this: Votes do not go on
record when cast in committee Of the
whole. Votes do go on record when east
ia open session. Representatives, feIt
that they could vote their real senu-
ments in the committee, regardless OF
the effect on their constituents. II
the open session they feared the wrath
shat would have almost surely follow ed
a vote TO practically abolish civil serv-
ice
We do not believe any convention of
women vas ever so cowardly OF so
tickle.

FRgsHY sMooT DEElALs.


I IS Evi IDENT that no antl-toxin
for the $irulent attack of the de-
Mai disease tslat aflicts Senator SmOOt
has been foutnd. The senator is out
with a fresh patch Of deniaIs, sub
luitted in the Norm of an amended
answer. And it is quite possible that
those who are in leharge of the tight
against Senator S5nOot win be able
to shcw that his latest denials are, TO
put the case mildly. based on a mis-
apprehension OF the facts. If any
thing were needed to bring about a
sweeping investigation into the Nor
mon church, Senator Shpoot has, by
his most recent outbreak thrown the
door wide open.
For instance. he denies. that the
president of the Mormon church or
any apostle, bishop OF other high Of
fetal has taken plural wife since the
manifesto OF $780," aud denies that
he encourages, countenances, cOnnives
at or conceals polygamy or polygamous
Capitalization" It is hardly probable
that the prosecution is unprepared to
prove that at least one and perhaps
several high officials OF the Mormon
church have taken unto themselves
plural wives since 1890, either with
or without the consent Of the church
authorities.
1t is a great pity that Senator smoot
was not content with the high and
holy Office OF apostle, an office that
would satisfy most Of the members
of his church. an Office that many Of
them would prefer TO a senatorship
and that many do not ike to see

THE GAME OF poLlrucs.

DECIDEDLY DISCOURAGING was
= the talk made by President Hadiey
OF Yale to Harvard students some days
ago at Cambridge. Professor HadIey's
subject was, Opportunities for PoIit-
zeal influence" Among other things, he
said:
Politics IS a game and must &c
played out by definite rules. Still, no
man should be an extremist, either in
dependent or partisan. He should
strike happy medium, but should not
enter the political field at all unless
rich, for if he does he will have to Yield
sooner or later to the wrong influence
or else get out and starve."
The statement. that only rich men
should enter politics must be decidedly
disheartening to the average young
man with political ambitions. 1t is
quite true that politics. is an expensive
sort Of game, and it is true that the
rich oficehOlder is far less likely to
Succumb 10 temptation than the poor
one But is it not also true that rich
men use political positions to advance
this as wrong in itself as the accept
ance Of a bride by a poor man?
