The hearing in the Smoot case before
the Senate committee on privileges and
elections that began last week is attract
ing much attention. The Norman pres.
ident, Joseph F. Smith, was the star
witness last week. He is the husband
of five wives and since the passage of
the law prohibiting polygaminous mar
riages in 1900 he has lived with these
wives and each one has borne him
children, eleven in all, since that date.
He said he preferred to disregard the
state law rather than abandon his wives
and children. The most damaging
point brought out in this connection is
the statement that Smoot had to get the
consent of Smith before he could go
before the legislature to be chosen
as United States Senator. This touches
upon the alleged interference of the
Norman church in politics and upon the
question whether Mormon Senator or
Representative is a free agent or under
the domination of his church. The
interest in the case will reach its hight
when Senator Smoot appears before the
committee.

The War.

fleet of five Japanese battleships
and two cruisers appeared of Vladiyo-
stock, Sunday afternoon aud bombarded
the town and shore batteries for 55
minutes. The fleet approached from the
direction of Askold Islnnd at the en-
trance to Ussur bay and about 81 miles
southeast of Vladivostock. Entering
Ussur bay, the enemy formed in line of
battle but did not approach to closer
range than five and one third miles.
They directed their fire against the
shore batteries and the town, but no
damage resulted, as most of their 200
lyddite shells failed to burst. The dam
age to the town was insignificant and
the bombardment cost Japan 100000.
From st. Petersburg the reports are
to the effect that no heavy fighting on
land may be expected until April.
The Russians are briskly certifying
Antung, which 1t is believed they will
make a base for resistance.

hogan among Maine towns that will try
to become cities and apply to the next
Legislature for a charter TO that end
This may be so but we have heard MOTH
ing about it. There have been several
movements made to bring about change
in form of our municipal government
without success. The movers we're in
favor OF combination of town and city
government, something untried In
Maine. Elaborate plans have been upon
two different occasions formulated and
acts of incorporation drawn, but, a.
though there seemed little active oppc-
sition, an under current o. indifference
to the projects caused them 10 die nat

sonably well off AS town at present,
but II any change ls to be made we
should become city, straight, with a
mayor and board of aldermen. 1t would
cost US something In extra taxes.
