gular case to settle. A doctor came
to him in great distress. Two sis
tiers living in the same house had
babies of equal age who SO resem-
bled each other that their own moth
ers were unable to distinguish them
when they were together, and it hap
pened that by the carelessness Of the
nurses the children had become mixed.
How were the mothers to make sure
that they received back their own in
fants?
But, perhaps" suggested the law
yer, 1.-THE children weren't changed at

smiled radiantly at the situation. Con-
Guiding his remarks, the young min

ONLY A DYING REMEDY OF POLY.
GAMY,

ihO loiioWluS lrOm Jne DeuVeI
Post of November 2 may be of inter-
est to readers of Truth:
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah rep
resents all the principles inculcateo
in the National Mothers club, yet the
members of that organization teach
ing the purity of the home with one
hand, deliberately brush aside one of
the purest men that ever lived, with
the other hand"
Thus did John P. Meakin, the Salt
Lake City lecturer and dramatic read
er, criticise the National Mothers
club for its decision to send petition
with 100000 signatures to President
Roosevelt and congress, protesting
against the seating of Senator Smoot
Mr.. Meakin, with his wife and son,
is passing through Denver on his way
home from the east where he has
been on an extended lecture tour He
is the guest of George B. Fisher while
in the city.
II am not a Mormon, and have no
interest in that church, but my blood
boiled when I read of this latest act
on the part of the Mothers congress.
1.-THE Mormons come nearer to be-
ing Christians than many of those
who profess to follow the footsteps of
the Nazarene," continued Mr.. Meakin
II have known Reed Smoot from
boyhood-in fact was raised with him
and therefore know whereof l speak
when l declare he is clean. He has
never been polygamist, nor does he
believe in polygamy; he has never
broken a national, state or moral law.
1t is impossible to find a cleaner man
than Reed Smoot. He never smoked
a cigar or used tobacco in any form;
never tasted whisky or beer, and
never played cards or gambled at any
time.
''He is married to a charming wo.
man, a daughter of Horace Eldredge,
who was one of the pioneer business
men of Utah. OF this union Mr.. Smoot
has six children, all types of intellec-
tual beauty
''Mr. Smoot is a vigorous young
business man and is interested in
nearly every enterprise or industry in
the state of Utah"
AS to the practice of polygamy, Mr.
Meakin said: There is simply a dy-
ing remnant of polygamy now in Utah
and surrounding states. This COM
prises about 500 old men and women
who went into the polygamous rela-
tionship previous to 1890. To illus
trate: there are in Salt Lake City a,
the present time just seventy-four old
people who are in polygamy. Two of
these are over 80 years old; fifty
eight are over 60 years old and four
teen are over so years of age. Since
the manifesto was issued and amnesty
granted sixteen years ago, two-thirds
of the people who were in polygamy
have passed away. In another fifteen
or twenty years they will all have
died a natural death.
"Since the present president, Jo-
seph F. Smith, has been in power, the
church has not dabbled in politics Mt
all. 1t is due to the credit of Presi-
dent Smith that that church has been
divorced from politics"

NEW PLAN.
viii BE Proposed I Alderman w.
Il. Miller In Short Time.

Alderman w. T. Miller, who be-
came chairman of the joint finance
committee of the general council
when he took his seat two weeks ago.
has a new plan TO spring on the mem
bers of the boards shortly. He will
recommend that the present method
of purchasing supplies for the city
be abolished, and the city appoint
purchasing agents. from the gener-
al council and other city officials. AT
present most of the city supplies, 1t is
claimed, are purchased by the heads
of various departments. and it is said
that more or less discrimination is
shown in some cases, which is not
good for the taxpayers.
Alderman Miller thinks that by
naming say the mayor and president
of the two legislative boards on the
purchasing committee. and requiring
them to ask bids for everything that
costs over a certain amount, the city
can save hundreds of dollars a year.
All smaller articles may be secured
by order from the mayor, and be
properly audited by the finance COM
mittee before allowed.

IMPORTANT CASE
WILL Be DECIDED
Railroad Commissioner Nc d.
Ferguson Attends Meeting.
Final Arguments in Complaints Made
By Lumber Men tc BE Heard
Tomorrow.
DECISION ABOUT FEBRUARY ~

Railroad Commissioner Nc d. Fer
guson passed through the city this
morning en- route to Louisville from
his home in La Center to attend a
meeting of the railroad commission
board in Louisville tomorrow.
81 am going up to attend the meet
ing, which will close the case of the
Norman Lumber Co. against all Ken
lucky railroads, or railroads running
through the state" Commissioner
Ferguson stated. This case has been
before the board for sometime and
tomorrow the argument will be con-
Guided The lumber company alleges
that the railroads charge excessive
rates for ties, cedar and walnut and
wants relief. The company wants a
general rate on all lumber, ties, ETC.,
and claims that the roads have no
right to levy special rate on mate
rial which is all shipped alike gen.
orally"
Tomorrow the concluding argu-
ment in the lumbernen's complaint
will be made by Col. Bennett III.
Young of special counsel for the COM
monwealth. At the conclusion of Col.
Young's argument the commission
will take the case under advisement.
A decision is expected by February
Is.
At the session of thecommission
held Saturday afternoon, arguments
were made in the case by j. Van
Dyke Norman, for the lumbermen,
and Attilla Cox, Jr. of the Illinois
Central, and Col. Henry l.. Stone, of
the l.. and ~, for the railroads.
An adjournment was taken by the
commission until tomorrow on ac-
count of the illness of Chairman G..
C. McChord's daughter, which pre-
vented Col. Young from finishing the
argument in the case.
During the session the commission
took under advisement a motion
made by Col. Young that the l.. and
N. be required to have its station
agents in Kentucky send monthly re-
ports of business direct TO the Office
of the commission at Frankfort.
These reports are made to the rail-
read company the first week in each
month. Attorney T. B. Harrison. of
the l.. and n warmly contested the
mction.
Commissioner A. r. Siler declar-
ed himself unequivocally opposed to
the system in vogue by the railroads,
of giving a refund" on log ship
ments with view of the shipment of
the cut lumber over their lines. He
said he intended to have the matter
thoroughly investigated.
