ly any education and he read with
great difficulty Frank Cannon's Tri-
bune editorials in the United States
senate. Mr.. Smoot is a temperate man
in every respect and would feel
out OF place in bar-room.
Mr.. kearns is at home in
modern thirst parlor and they
say he can lean over the polished hard
wood and blow the foam off a schooner
with the alacrity of a professor in
legerdemain. He knows the right
beade on Irish straight and Scotch ale
and when he samples the distilled vim
tage of 1851, he smacks his lips as
loud as the head lines in the Evening
Telegram. Isn't it queer that the w.
c. T. U. should love Mr.. Kearns and
hate Mr.. Smoot? Mr.. Smoot says
Alaska is portion of the American
continent, but Mr.. Kearns declares
that it is beautiful island surround

Smoot states that a llipino is a
biped of the human family; Mr..
Kearns says he is quadri-peddled
vertebrate of the small horse species
After he was elected, Mr.. Smoot gave
a banquet to his friends. Intelligent
speech-making and harmonious good
cheer was the order of the occasion.
After Mr.. Kearns was elected he also
gave banquet, and his programme
was booze. The above is a fair COM
parison of the two gentlemen. And
after knowing the above the Rev.
John l.. Leilich and DR.. Paden got up
remonstrance against Senator Smoot
and patted Senator Kearns on the
back as a good fellow. This last anti
Utah Mormon crusade was started by
Senator Kearns, when he, by what he
thought was bold stroke of political
sagacity, but which in reality was a
traitorous thrust of his untiring eff
forts tried to bring the president of
the United States down to his level;
tried to make the people of Utah be-
lieve that President Roosevelt was de-
grading himself by interfering with
state politics; tried to make the PEG
pie believe that this writer of books
and divider of continents was over
riding Article in the constitution Of
the United States by making reli-
gious test as a qualification of Mr..
Smoot before he could be electe /
United States senator. But Mr..
Kearns' scheme did not work. Mr..
Smoot was honestly elected. Kearns
was not reelected, and the president
of the church refused to get into poll
tics and help him. That so enraged
Mr.. KearnI that he let hatred traitor
ism and le enge dominate what little
sense he had and, taking his cue
from the Rev. John l.. Leilich and DR..
Paden and the Gentle information
bureau, commenced this anti-Utah and
anti-Mormon fight, cutting and slash
