SENATE REPORT TO
UNSEAT REED SMOOT
SENATOR BURROWS PREPARING THE OPINION, THERE'S
QUESTION AS TO HOW MANY VOTES IT WILL TAKE TO
FIRE THE MORMON - IF A TWoTHIRDs VOTE HE WILL


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-
Reed Smoot, Mormon, will receive
his verdict this winter at the hands
OF the United States senate. The
opinion of the senate committee on
elections is being prepared by it's
chairman, julius Caesar Burrows,
of Michigan. 1t is understood that
this opinion will be unfavorable to
Smoot.
Thousands of women, and near
ly as many men, have signed petit
tions and voted for resolutions
asking the senate to throw Smoot
out. The senate is the sole judge
of its membership. Any member
may be elected if two-thirds ma
jority of the senators wish him
elected. At the same time a plain
majority vote is sufficient to deter
mine the sufficiency of the qualiti-
cations of proposed member.
Now the question is, in regard
to Smoot, is he in? If he is in,
and is to be expelled for something
he has done since he got in, it will
take two-thirds of the senate to
get him out. If, on the other
hand, he never had right to his
seat in the first place, a majority
can so determine, and all tie time
he has been pretending to be SEN
ator must be forgotten.

Next week the Shirley company
will present the amusing comedy
drama entitled "The Planters
Daughter" or Miss 'Rora." Au-
rora's father was killed by Indians
on the plains Of Arizona and the
child, lying asleep beside her dead
father. is found by Harry and Ned,
two old miners, who adopt her and
abbreviate her name to 'Rora. She
grows up the idol of the old men,
who she calls "daddies," and Is a
true frontier girl A preacher Wis
its the camp and ersuades the old
men that they have done Che young
girl a wrong by not advertising
for her relations when they found
her. They finally do so and the
advertisement brings her grand
father, wealthy southern planter.
'Rora goes with him to Louisiana,
where her advent Is most unwel-
come to her cousins who were the
heirs before 'Rora was found. At
last on the eve of great fox hunt
they substitute a vicious horse for
'Rora's favorite in the hope that
she will be killed, but her frontier
experience in riding enables her to
master the horse and triumph over
them again. The play is full of
specialties and comedy scenes.

When Reed Smoot came to the
senate and presented the creden-
tials of the state of Utah, there
was talk of making a fight then
and there, and not allowing him to
be sworn in. But the senate lead
ers said that would be taking snap
judgment, and advised that he be
permitted to take the oath, and
then that his qualifications should
be duly inquired into by the COM
mittee on privileges and elections.
So he took the oath, and the COM
mittee sat for many weeks listen
ing to testimony calculated to show
that Smoot was very pious Nor
mon; that he was one of the II
apostles; that he knew all the Sc
crets Of the church; that he was
one of the Mormon bosses of poll
tics; that he knew about sealing
polygamous marriages in the Nor
mon temple, and that he was cog
infant of the continued practice of
multiple marriages. ALTHOUGH
HE HAD BUT ONE WIFE HIM
SELF.
Will the senate expel Reed
Smoot? 1t is anybody's guess. If
the poinion prevails that his case
requires a two-thirds vote, it is a
good bet that he will not be ex-

But every party needs a boXX
because every business needs a
head. There must be some SUI
preme authority whose word is
law. The preacher is the boss of
his church. He has the board of
directors with him and he gulls the
people on the outside of the ring,
but he must do it honestly. If he
gets crooked off comes his head.
Every bank and every business has
its boss, and must have to succeed.

He cannot be beaten as long as the

phia in the last election, grew out
of dishonest leadership. l look
for these conditions to prevail for
a while, though eventually politi-
cal parties will drift back to lead
ers-but those leaders must be
honest. They can't hoodwink the
people and remain in politics.
Jerome's success in New York is
remarkable example of the re-
volution against bossism that is
going on all over the country. If
the issues were similarly drawn in
any other big city, the result would
practically the same, because the
latter day bosses have digressed
from the path of strictest honesty
and truthfulness.

BOSS BUTLER, OF ST LOUIS,
WRITES A DEFENSE OF BOSSES

Now, Dick Croker, l think, was
fairly honest, but l do not recall
any present day boss who is hon.
est. However, am out of politics
now and don't keep close track of
the leaders.
When l was in politics l never
deceived man. Everybody knew
where | stood. l did not do much
bossing - in f;>t l let the other
fellows do most Of that, but l gave
advice where it was needed, and
took it too. l never asked can
didate for money for the campaign,
but l did ask it from people on the
outside. The poor candidate who
is elected isn't well enough paid to
spend his money running for the
office.
The boss who is out for the coin
will soon be found out and de-
throned. Why, l know bosses who
made $50 900 or 100000 a year. But
they are not bosses now, and they
won't be any more. The people
found them out and turned them
out.
account for the prevalence of
dishonesty among bosses by the
fact that they were born dishonest.
Trace any mans family history
who has been caught in crime, and
somewhere along the line of his an.
cestry you will find black spot.
It's in them to be dishonest.
After a few years the parties
will return to the boss idea. They
can't be run successfully without
leaders, and leaders will be called
bosses, though most of the talk
about rings and combinations is
nonsensical.
But when the bosses do come
back into their own they will be
honest, and they will not deceive.
