WITH a wonderful family reunion
Joseph F. Smith president of the
Mormon church, was welcomed
home last Monday on his return
from the Smoot inquiry in Washing
on. His five wives all awaited his
coming at the famous Beehive house,
where some 80 of his children had
gathered to receive their father.
President Smith kissed Mrs. Julina
Smith warmly, and his embrace
with Mrs. Edna Sampson Smith,
sister of Julina, lasted four minutes.
Then he greeted his other wives
fondly, and kissed a few of the
youngest children.

SPEAKING of the candidacy of Hon,
]. c. Floyd for Congress in this dis
trict the Benton County Democrat
says, ut will be remembered that
Mr.. Floyd was candidate for this
office two years ago and only lacked
Ill votes in the entire district OF
winning the nomination, which
proves his great popularity. Those
who know him best are his strong
est and warmest supporters, as evil
dence of that fact, take the vote of
Usage township [ Bentonville) where
both he and his opponent, Mr. Dins-
more, were raised and personally
well known. Floyd received 353
votes to 80 for Dinsmore, about 4 to
1. Then take Marion county, where
Floyd has lived for 20 years-he re-
ceived over 1 100 votes to less than
100 for Dinsmore-over II to 1.
Think of it, in Bentonville township,
where both were raised, 4 to l for
Floyd, and in Floyd's home county
over II to 1. A good rule by which
to Judge their respective merits"

CONGRESSMAN DINsMoRE says the
statement that he has received $780,
900 from the public for his services
is Exaggerated" In the interest of
truth his home paper the Benton

list of his brilliant achievements in
this line:
Clerk, two years, at 5000, $1,000
Prosecuting Attorney,
6years at 5000, $4,000
Consul to Korea, 4 years 800 10000

seeking American sympathy.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Is there no way of preventing that old Russian IandgraSber from coming ,ln. every morning. with the newspa- pers. whining around our hearthstones and craving sympathy in a calamity brought upon himself by his last ven- obligations?
 His desire for peace" about which ne prates so much, is of the same kind as that of Dick Turpin md Lafitte; and ms mendacfous and puerile appeals to the great powers and his bullying of the weak, are the shallow devices of q spirit brutalized by an unbroken record or cruel administration, and debased by perfidH.
 And now comes another report of his ostentatious piety; The will go up and pray at the shrine of the Trinity in the Sergtus monastery at Moscow, and i'm plore victory for the Russian arms" The Phartsee who went up into the temple to pray wasn't a patchin to him; but will let that pass. Every body Is sick and tired of his plaint; is there no way to cut 1t out of the press dispatches. Jerome.

find remark credited to him in his anti-subsidy speech in Congress that sounds strangely. If he has been cor rectiy reported, he said
 There are but two ways by which property of any kind can be secured by anybody One is by production and the other Is by plunder Whenever a man desires anything. he must secure 1t in one or two ways-he must make 1t sor he must take it.
 If that sentiment is carried to it's legitimate conclusion. can man hon estly own anything unless he manu- factures or produces it? If a farmer produces bale of cotton, 1t is honestly his, but doesn't the man who buys 1t from him get it honestly? We suppose a great orator sometimes says things that will not bear analysis, and this is one of them. for according to its theory nothing can be obtained honestly by purchase, gift or barter. Isn't that absurd?
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-05-18
A WIDE DIFFERENCE.
The Raleigh Post says:

Briefly. if Judge Parker, or some other Democrat, is nominated at St. Louis, the choice vii! ue the choice of the Partys representatives. while the whole country knows that the Chicago Convention will be nothing more than ratification meeting for the Roosevelt ticket. Of the two ways of nominat- ing Presidential candidates. the Demo- cratic method is infinitely better than the other. A boom is a relatively un- important matter.
 That seems about the way to look at 1t. While the trend of sentiment is decidedly Parkerwards, the matter is by no means settled. The indications now are that the St. Louis Convention will be largely composed of sound and sane Democrats, who will be more so- licitous for the good of the Party and the country than for the elevation of any one man. When they get together 1t may be found that Parker is the right man, and if that proves true, they will nominate him. as they should do. If 1t appears on full and free consulta- tion that some other good Democrat. is more available. he will be the man for them to take In either case, the nom- inee will be the choice of the Democ- racy
 It will be widely different when the Republicans assemble at Chicago for they will have no say in it. The choice has been made for them, and they are expected to ratify it. They have the man on their hands, and are unable to get rid of him. Some of them may re- volt in their minds. but 1t will do them no good. The dose may cause an up- heavaL but they must swallow 1t. It is Roosevelt or nobody, and while many good Republicans would doubtless pre- fer nobody. there is no choice left them Ours will be a nominating convention. while theirs will be a ratification meet ing.

I1ncIe Ned,s Reannn.

That was a brave actr' calculated a Boston man, as he stood on the wharf in a little Southern town and saw an old negro plunge unhesistatingly Into the deepest water to save a very small boy who had stumbled and fallen from some piling, according to Tbe>Washing- ton Post. "A brave act, and he is q hero, no matter how black the skin he wears!'
 The Bostonian was foremost in the group that gathered about Uncle Ned when he climbed back on the dock with the rescued lad.
 Your son, is it. old man?' he que ried. ''Or perhaps only your grand son?"
 There was a very fervent admiration in the down Easter's tones as he put the question.
 NO, sub; no, suh," gurgied Uncle Ned. Dat li'l rascal ain't no kinnery CT mine."
 Then it was all the bravcr," ex- claimed the interrogator, positively barring his head out of respect for the old mans highborn courage.

PRICES TOO HIGH.

Col. Alexander Troup, of The New Haven Union. must be very simple minded old gentlemen-or exactly the reverse. He was whooping it up for Hearst in Connecticut, and the New York editors money was in evidence, beyond a doubt. We are told that some of the delegates who were sent there as Parker men had itching palms They demanded from $100 to $200 each for their votes, but failed to land, either because the dispensers of Hearst money were afraid of them or thought the price too high. But there were evil dently others who were more modest or more fortunate. and of them, Colonel Troup says:
 Let me say that, so far as my knowl- edge goes, and stand in a position to know, there was not Jne cent of money spent in Connecticut by Hearst to buy anything illegitimate.
 Isn't that delightfully."- refreshing? MT. Hearst and his workers were en- tirely too conscientious to go into any thing "illegitimate." and we infer that d ue4esate "Ho Wahteu S|VV loF HIS vote was in the illegitimate class. Slush money couldn't be 1egitimately spent buying delegates at such prices. merely in State Convention. That would probably be considered cheap in a Ma tionaI Convention, but was considered illegitimate in a State assemblage We should really be pleased to know what is legitimate bribery in the estimation of Colonel Troup. Would $2O bar one from legitimacy?

He Carried Samples.

During meeting of the Louisville York Tribune. Delegate Hawthorne of Princeton told this story of pioneer days, and vouched for its accuracy:
 One of the circuit riders in my part of the State was extremely fond of pepper sauce, and as he could seldom find any strong enough at places where he stopped, he always carried a bottle tel one night, though he usually stop ped at the home of a friend. A man sat across the table from him, and, seeing the sauce, asked if the minister would share it with him. The request was granted, and the stranger poured out liberal allowance of the sauce into his soup. At the first swallow he made a wry' face and blurted out:
 Minister. do you preach hell?"
 Yes, brother" was the reply. Why do you ask?"
 Because you are the first preacher l ever saw who carried samples" was the answer.
