Editor Independent: If there has
been any doubt about the purpose OF
the little crowd Of Indianapolis demo-
Gratis to sell the party organization to
the New York financial interests it
ought now to be dispelled. The deal
said some days ago to have been made
with David B. Hill and other New
York boomers of Alton B. Parker has
been repeatedly and most positively
denied by those Indiana democrats
said to have been parties to it.
Today, however, the indianapolis
Sentinel, now controlled by Taggart,
hoisted the Parker banner with a
flourish Of trumpets and with John W.
Kern as chief trumpeter. For some
time there has been an effort being
made to sell the worthless remains OF
this almost moribund sheet to Hearst.
Employees about the Office have been
allowed to believe that Hearst had al
interest in the paper and have so re-
ported on the street This effort to
unload the worthless property accounts
for the Irritation of Taggart with
Hearst. T0day.s issue Indicates the
abandonment Of all such hope and
confirms the reported deal with the
New York supporters of Parker.
Kern has been conscriptej to blow
the first blast. 1t can always be pre-
dicted with certainty that in every DO
litical scheme In which .Taggart and
his crowd engage they will secure the
use OF Kern's name. Wherever Tag
CART appears, there in the surround
tngs, somewhere, Kern will be found in

Ing for party loyalty. With adroN
ambiguity he compliments Bryan and
pats his friends on the back while he
SO expresses himself that his language
Is used to assist the reorganizers in
their attempt to overthrow the very
principles OF which Bryan is the dis
tinctive representative and exponent.
OF course Kern says that he Is not
declaring for anybody, but the head
line, in letters an inch long entirely
across the front page of today's issue,
announces that Kern says Parker al
ways true to party"
or course Kern says that he is not
prepared to express a preference, but
the headlines announce that IND
lanian Is sure Parker fills BILL OF
course Kern can explain to Bryan and
others ION the quiet, If they want an
explanatory that the interview does
not justify the headlines, but he will
not say so in public. Any one On the
ground and conversant with past po-
Iitlcal actions in this state cannot helm

interview Is intended to assist this lit

below the negro even. In those very
fascinating and charming words that
we hear from our political bosses and
campaign speakers, when they are
working (overtime) for votes, that our
government derives its just powers
from the consent of the governed"
and that they believe in govern
ment for the people, by the people and
of the people"
Therefore we must believe that wO-
men are not people, and do not have 10
be governed by these laws, for we have
no voice in the framing of the law un-
der which we are governed, except in
four states. Can We not well say that
mans government is not infrequently
a pronounced failure? For it is q
motherless government, and who dare
say home is successful without
mother.
Our government is our larger home.

reading of this mob in Springfield,

litical convention held in a suburb Of
ST. Louis last week. Another excuse
is, the women would bring in the IL
literate and prostitute vote. Do We
hear any one say that illiterate and
prostitute m n shall be deprived Of
his enfranchisement?
Allow me to give few facts. In
June, 1900, there were 2,326, 900 men OF
voting age in the United States un-
able to read and write, or IL per cent
OF the total number of men eligible to
vote. OF these, 977 900 are negroes, but
the larger number are whites-1 ,254,-
GOO. In 1870 there were more illit-
crate negroes than whites, by 10000.
After thirty years the illiterate whites
outnumber the negroes by 277,O0O.
Cast your eyes over the school GEN.
sus OF Nebraska or any other state in
the Union. See If the girls in the
common school, also as graduates Of
the high schools, do not far exceed the
boys. So if it is fear of illiteracy that
the "antis" have, they will have to
hunt up another excuse. Yours for
equality before the law.

SMOOT ANSWERS
ACCUSATIONS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 9-Senator
Reed Smoot's answer to the charges made
against him was made public today.
The charges are as follows: First,
that he is polygamist; second, that he is
bound by an oath or obligation which is
inconsistent with the oath required by the
constitution of the United States, which
was administered to him before he took
his seat as a senator.
Senator Smoot denies both charges. de
says he was married in 1894 to Miss Ell
bridge, who is still his wife and is the
mother of his children. He says he never
had any other wife or cohabited with any
other woman. He denies taking any 9th
or obligation conflicting with his duty to
this country.
He considers himself bound by the laws
of the United States, including those re-
ferring to polygamy, and denies that there
is any supreme body of men in the Nor
mon church having supreme authority in
all matters concerning the followers OF
that church. He also denies that the
Church of Latter Day Saints inculcates
or encourages polygamy or has since the
Woodruff manifesto in 1890.
He admits that the first president OF
the church is vested with supreme author
ity in spiritual matters; also in temporal
matters as far as they pertain to the Of
fcers of the church.

TACOMA MAY LOSE COLLECTION

Negotiations are now being carried on
with Captain Tozier of the revenue cut
ter Grant to place the almost invaluable
collection Of Alaska curios now in the
Ferry museum in a museum in either Chi
cago, Pittsburg or New York. The collec-
ton has Deen in Tacoma for several years
and is a point OF interest to visitors in
this city. An effort will undoubtedly be
made by Tacoma men to have the rare
collection left in this city
The collection has been got together by
Captain Tozer at an expense of about
$50 900, but it could not be purchased for
double that amount. 1t contains 1000 In
dian baskets of rare workmanship, besides
5000 other curios.
There are numberless face masks and
house posts or totems in the collection
that are now almost impossible to secure
A complete index of the collection has
never been made. A partial list Of the
curios follows:
About 100 ancient stone chisels and axes.
Ancient pipes, carved and plain, made of
stone and jade and ivory
Over 200 stone hammers, no two alike.
A number of ancient boxes Of wood fas-
tened together with bear sinews. These
are plain, carved and painted
A number OF wooden fish dishes, suttl-
GENTLY large to hold hundred gallons of
water.
Numbers of whale and seal harpoons of
ancient workmanship, flint arrow points
and stones for killing game, native ammu-
nltion boxes, duck spears, made of wood,
bone and ivory; arrows of all kinds and
cases for same made of leather and wood;
war clubs of bone, copper, wood and
stone; knives of shell, copper, ivory and
iron.
Ancient medicine and cooking stones.
The latter are stones which, in days long
before stoves were thought Of, were heated
in fire and then dropped in water-tight
baskets. In this way the long dead and
gone tribes did all their cooking.
One large racing and large war canoe
of old workmanship.
Carved wood and stone images
Cooking, carrying, burden and fishing
baskets, made Of cedar twigs, bark, split
tree roots and grass
Stone and iron tomahawks
Ancient native rope, made Of cedar bark
and sinew from whale and bear.
Gambling sticks of ivory and bone, near
ly all elaborately carved.
Ivory torture needles.
Probably the largest collection of an
cient stone lamps in existence. Cedar
bark, sticks Of all kinds and sometimes
whale oil were burned in these. They are

HIS LUCKY ESCAPE.

Silas Smith, resident of Tacoma,
thinks he is nightly lucky man, al
though yesterday his feelings were just
the reverse. Mr. Smith went to Seattle
yesterday enroute to Victoria, and would
have been a passenger on the ill-fated
Clallam, which foundered early this morn
ing, but for the fact that he missed the
boat by few minutes Mr.. Smith re-
CARDS the circumstance as a very narrow
escape. He says there were a number of
Tacoma people who made the trip, but
does not know the names of any of them.
