OPINIONS fHaHt PRESS ON SENATOR SMOOT
opinions Are Based Prosecutions Evidence and Are Generally Ad
verse the Senator SmoOts Defense Begins January r.

Subjoined are extracts from
number OF eastern papers, which
show the trend of public sentiment,
both favorable and unfavorable to
Senator Smoot. The opinions are
based Oh the prosecution side of
the case, the defense not having
been heard, and are in a ratio OF
about five to one against Snloot.
What the sentiment will be after
the defense is made can only be a
matter of conjecture. The extracts
are taken from the Salt Lake Trib-
une and the Deseret News, which
may be regarded as the chief fac
tors in creating sentiment against
and for the Senator. Neither of
the two are fair rehectors of senti-
ment, because each excludes matter
unfavorable to it's policy. The fol-
lowing extracts will give the reader
a fair idea of eastern sentiment as
far as the case mas gone:

other cases could probably be dis
covered in the country where race

helped one candidate and hurt an
other on the same ticket. A very

details about Mormonism, but we
are still far from a conclusive dem

that bod
ShOup Was a Grand Statesman.

Peak Chronicle special
Washington, D. c., Dec. 25-The
death of Ex- Senator George l..
Shoup cast gloom ovel all who
knew him. Universal regret is
expressed on every side by Sena-
tors who were associated with him
during his long term of Office.
Senator Shoup was looked upon
as the ablest representative the west
has had in Washington for years.
When the news of his death was
announced to Senator Hepburn, he
said, II have today learned with
great regret of the death of Senator
Shoup, who for ten years represent
ed the State of Idaho in the United
States Senate. l have known him
intimately for more than twenty
years in the capacity of private
citizen, public officer and per-
sonal friend. In all of those capac-
tiles he was a prince among men.
generous and upright in all his
dealings.
"Idaho has had no truer friend
or abler representative in the past,
nor can we hope that she will have
in the future. " Outside of his rel
atives there is probably no one who
feels more keenly the death of
Senator Shoup than Addison L.
Smith, who was the Senator's sec
retary during his Senatorial career;
the affection existing between them
was often the subject of remark
here. 1t was more like that be-
tween father and son than the ties
which ordinarily exist between
those associated in an official ca
pacity. The Senator had the ut
most confidence in Mr.. Smith and
his judgment, and his confidence
was never betrayed. Congressman
French was great admirer of Sen
ator Shoup, and i'll speaking of him
he said: 'It is with very deep
sorrow that have learned of the
death of Hon. George l.. Shoup.
| had learned 10 love him for his
gentleness, his sincerity, and til G
ever kindly interest that he had i'll
young men, | admired and honor
ed him, too, for the great work he
: has done for the State of Idaho and
! , the Pacific Coast. AS an officer in
the army, as governor of the terri
tory and then of the new Common
wealth. as Senator for MANY years,
George l.. Shoup has proven him

Lewiston Teller: The sudden
close of the presentation of testi-
mony against the Mormon church
in the Smoot inquiry is doubly
disappointing, no only as shutting
off good story, but because the
terrible tempest raised over the
polygamy question seems to have
had very little to sustain it. The
Salt Lake newspaper special reports
say that the committee of senator's
kept growing less at the inquiry,
Chairman Burrows and Senator
Dubois alone remaining, while the
newspaper representatives daily in
creased, being assigned the seats
vacated by the senators. That
seems to just about represent the
position of the affair. AS story
the stuff was rich but as being of
any serious concern requiring gov
ernmental intervention there did
not seem to be much to it.
St. Louis Globe Democrat: The
Smoot investigation before the Sen
ate committee on privileges and
elections, which is being carried on
with vigor these days, develops
some points of interest i'll relation
to the Mormon church, but it has
not the slightest bearing on the
case of Utah's junior senator.
Enough has been developed to
show that many persons in Utah
are violating the anti-polygamy
law. This, however, does no
affect the senator. He is no
charged with polygamy. Tha'
charge was never brought agains
him by anybody except one IRE
sponsible person, who was quickly
silenced by the senator's enemies
Capital News: AS far as Idaho
is concerned the testimony beins
given before the Smoot investiga
ton committee at Washington /
but a stale and Improbable rehash
ing of well-known facts that ar
fast sinking into ancient history
None of these facts i'll any wa

seat and just why the commltte
goes into them is one of the nys
teries of the day. The honorabl
senators could be in better busines
than seeking to fan the flames c

Upon this evidence it is declared
that Smoot is a party to an actual
conspiracy against the laws of the
land and therefore Ineligible to

Government.
Smoot has not yet had an oppor-
tunity to present his defense.
What he may have to offer is not
known. The probabilities are that
it will not make much difference,
as the indications point to his eN-
clusion by the Senate i'll any event.

the public is beginning to draw
fairly well-defined conclusions, and
one of these is that the leaders of
the church need severe lesson in
the power of the law. Many of

tices can have no place in civil

Rochester Herald. Recent devel-
opinents III the Reed Smoot investi-
gatiou by the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections make one
fact very clear; and that is, that
Mormonisn is neither dormant nor
dying, but an active, aggressive,
defiant power, inimical to the best
interests of the State and the Ma
ton. In the light of the audacious
revelations made by men high in
the Mormon church it becomes the
imperative duty of the United
States Senate to expel Smoot from
that BODY.
The Teton peak-chronicle., 1904-12-29

Atlanta Constitution The case
has become something more than
case against Reed Smoot. Mormon
ism is on trial at the bar of nation
al sentiment. If Smoot is seated,
Mormonism will feel that it has
gained a victory. If he is unseat
ed the throwing of him out will be
the result of popular sentiment. 1t
is not against him personally and
individually that the American
public protests, if it were to stop
to analyze its sentiment it is
against what he represents.

Providence Or. I.) Journal: The
real animus of the Mormon leaders
was disclosed when Smith, an
"apostle, admitted that he is liv-
ing in polygamy in defiance of the
law, and declared that nobody
could take him from his family
and when the recorder of the Tem-
pie at Salt Lake said that he would
not give up the records even if the
sergeant-at-a arms came for them
with a warrant. A religion" OF
this kind ought to have short shrift.
1t is blot upon the Nation.

Washington Correspondent St.
Louis Globe Democrat: The opin-
ion of many Senators who have
watched the hearings from day to
day, and who have talked with
their colleagues who are members
of the committee having the matter
in hand, is that the report will be
unfavorable to Senator Snoot.
The evidence which has been
given since the hearings were re-
sumed at the present session OF the
Congress are responsible for this
feeling. Until the last month when
the new witnesses were examined
there was a feeling that the evi-
dence had in no way shaken the
seat occupied by Snlcot.

involved. 1t is simply a question
of National authority, of National

Salt Lake Herald: Whether
Senator Smoot is unseated or not,
The Herald's prophecy that his
election would bring almost ire
trievable injury upon Utah has
been abundantly fulfilled. The
great trouble is that Smoot and his
followers are not compelled to oc-
cupv alone the bed they have made.
Thousands of innocent people are
suffering also.

New York Mail: Mormonism
stands plainly revealed in the testi
mony against Reed Smoot, now
concluded at Washington, as a
conspiracy against the laws of the
United States. A great pretense
was made by the Mormon church
organization of "obeying the law
of the land"-that phrase being
repeated often and noisily, as if the
requirement of the law could be
met by a great deal Of assertion
that it was met. All the while
Mormons, as this evidence proves,
were marrying in plural marriage
and giving in plural marriage.
Several of Mr.. Smoot's fellow apos-
ties have married polygamously
since the manifesto disseminating
polygamy, undoubtedly with his
knowledge, and the majority OF
them are cohabiting polygamously.

boss and machine government of
the people now existing" Deprived of
patronage the boss" and the ma
chine" must cease to exist. Then, in
the words of Judge Tuley, the people
will again govern themselves.
OF the hundreds of replies received
in a canvass made by the league, not
more than l per cent are unfavorable

plan certain to be endorsed by every
business interest in the country. Add
TO this the desirableness of a return
TO genuine self-gOyernment through
freeing the president from the dicta-
ticn of the political boss and the
political machine" and We easily may
forsee hearty popular commentator
of the initiative taken by the National
Business league.
The practical politician may oppose
the movement because he is the only
one to be hurt by it's success. But let
ii once be clearly understood that the
people and the business interests de
sire the amendment. that the welfare
of the nation demands it, and there
will be few states in the union that
will hesitate 10 give to congress the
necessary authority TO act finally. once

New Force in Politics.

The American Federation of Labor,
which has an organization in every
city and many villages. does not per-
NIT political action, but is nOnpartisan.
The leaders have found, however, that
congress will not heed their request for
legislation unless the individual mem
Der of congress is brought to fear de-
feat if he does not vote for such laws
as labor demands. The labor leaders at
Washington after two months of exec
utive meetings and consultations have
organized the labor lyceum and Du-
rcau of information whose objects
are set forth to be the discussion of
economic questions as they relate to
the educational. social and industrial
conditions of the wageWOrkerS OF the
United States, la collect and dissent
nate legislative data relative to labor
measures submitted TO the congress of
the United States. to ascertain as far
as possible the attitude of senators and
representatives toward such measures
and forward such information to their
respective constituencies and to advise
the use of the initiative and refercn-
dunn i'll the election Of federal and state
legislators.
One clause of the constitution pro-
vidcS that any one who is Il member OF
a trades union in the United States
may become member of the labor ly-
ceum. The work Of the lyccum de
wolves largely upon the executive COM
mittce, of which the president is cX
oficfo chairman. All complaints and
statements calling for action are re-
ferred To this committee, which is
charged with the duty of investigation.
Before any action is taken the lyceum
must vote on the report OF the COM
mittCe.
The inspiration of the organization is
said to have been the treatment of la
Dor interests by congress on the inJunc-
ton and eight hour bills. The record
of congressman IS being scrutiniZed
closely at present, and. without par
tiSan feeling, the ban is expected to
fall heavily on at least Al half dozen
congressman, who are having all they
desire to combat with in the shape of
partisan opposition.
In its account of this organization
the Washington Post quotes Mr.. Nc
CURE. the president of the lyceum, as
saying:
1--WE expect to enter the close districts
and do something that will count. The
lahOring man could not enter political
fights heretofore in an organized body
because such a thing would not he per

to defeat the ends of the laDorinG man
and then return home TO tell the labor
er how much they have been doing for
him We intend TO put Il stop to that
kind of work"
That action will certainly make 1t
uncomfortable for most of the Repub-
Iican leaders, who. while pretending TO
be favorable TO labor. have managed to
defeat all the legislation that labor
