freedom. So far nothing has
been shown that Senator Smoot
has been guilty of polygamy, but,
on the other hand all of the
evidence so far adduced proves
him to have only one wife, and
that he obeys the law of the
land, that being the case, his
religious belief cannot be con
sidered legally; just so long as
he breaks no law, we cannot
see how the man can be
lawfully unseated. . ia h
was admitted to Statehood, and a
law was enacted to prohibit plu-
raj marriages, it does strike US
that before Senator Smoot can
be ousted from the senate on the
charges brought, he would have
to be convicted of the crime.
Smith frankly admits that he
believes in plural marriages be-
cause it was so revealed to him
by an angel in black; and his
FIVE wives he lawfully married
before the law prohibiting plural
marriages was enacted; the law
came along. found him tied to
FIVE wives, and rather than break
his marriage vows he will take
his chances with the courts and
and suffer the penalties for vlo-
lating the law, but he will not
desert his wives-this is certain
ly to be admired in him. The
nerve Of the man who can live
with five women must be great;
it is such q man needed around
Port Arthur to Go some deed Of
daring-spike the muzzle of a
Russian cannon with his head
for instance, but what he sWore
to was the truth so far as his
own conduct is concerned; it
matters not if Smith had revela-
tions from a dozen angels IN
black, and if he was married to a
dozen, or as many wives as King
Solomon is reputed to have had,
Smoot cannot be convicted unless
it can be proven he had commit
ted the crime, not in thought, but
in act or deed.

Congressman Legare has en-
trenched himself strong in the
hearts Of the people of this dis

large appropriation for the
Charleston Navy yard, and other
good work done in the depart

have any opposition in the com

tomary to re-electa a congressman
for his second term, unless ne

the place. The record made in
this first term virtually assures
Mr.. Legare his unopposed re

When you buy cough medicine tor
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence: You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is pleasant
to take. Chamberlain's Cough Rene
DIV meets all of these conditions. There
is nothing so good for the coughs and
colds incident to childhood. It is also
a certain preventative and cure for
Group, and there is no danger whatev-
er from whooping cough when it is
given. 1t has been used in many cpl
denies of that diease with perfect sue

a narrow limit. The matter OF
waterworks is being agitated,
but with the present income we
cannot get a system OF water
works that will give fire protec.
ton to all of those who are called
upon to consent to this additional
power, it might give fire protec-
ton for the business around the
square, but that would not be sat
isfactory nor just.
1t is up to the voters to say to.
morrow whether or not they are
willing to subject themselves to
higher taxation, even as high as
ten mills, should council regard
it necessary. It is also for the
voters to say whether or not
they are willing to empower
council with the right to sell,
lease, or convey the towns prop
erty and grant sole privileges to
an individual, firm or corporation,
and thus protect those having
such privileges from competition.
The voters must also consider
whether or not they are willing
for a power TO require, under
penalty of punishment, a license
to conduct a store, ply a trade or
practice a profession.
1t is argued that without these
powers progress is throttled, and
industries are kept away because
council has no powers to grant
special privileges, but that
should not be regarded, the ques-
ton resolves itself down to one
of expediency, and appeals
straight to the judgement and
the purse; the owners Of tenant
property may feel that with in
creased taxation rents will ad-
vance, but the tenant class may
feel that higher property valua-
tions mean higher rents withouta
commensurate increase Of wag-
es, all these things are to be
considered, and every voter
should turn out and record his
judgement. We have a popula-
ton of about 1900, and would
increase rapidly were it not for
the fact that there is very little
available property, the few own
ing same want fancy prices with
gold trimmings, and this pre-
vents the town from filling up
more than any other cause, in
our opinion. The question sub
mitted to US is different from one
Of preference between men, this
to what we regard the
towns needs and welfare: and
this being so there ought not to
be any attempt made to influence
a single vote, and let tie ques,
ton be decided upon its merits.

Dear Sir: Devoe is worth 81 OF S. a

paint worth.
Depends on how many gallons you've
got to put-on, to be equal to one of De-

two houses one coat, five years ago lead
and-oil, took 10 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe
for same houses: had 10 gallons left.

Mrs. Fern an argument far
