Senator Smoot took exception to the
statement OF John Henry Smith IN re-

law so far as polygamy was concerned.
The senator said he knew of many poly

who took plural wives before the mani

relations, but it could interfere with the

The Hon. Callistus Wellington
Cooper, who in the bloom of Popu
lism was one of that altruistic par
tvs most gallant expositors and de-
tenders, is nov wavering between
Eepublicanism, Christian Science,
Socialism and Spiritualism. But
wherever he wavers, Callistus Wei
lington is a unique and interesting
figure He is a man of bishopic
physique, Of generous impulse,
powerful intellect and a flow Of
speech as picturesque as it is mex
haustibie. But Mr. Cooper is not
dead and if we elaborate just and
beautiful eulogy it will shock his
sensibilities until a blush mantle
his modest cheek. Mr.. Cooper is
one of Caldwell; most cherished
institutions. Without him the
town would be fat. stale and un-
profitable. He is as full OF playful
activities as kitten. His delight
is to "rib up a roar" If he can
discover a fellow citizen with roar
in him, he never sleeps until that
roar is emitted and when it is, Coop
er's system is filled with holy,
unctious JOY. For many years he
has been laboring assiduou sly to
extract a roar from tine editor of
The Tribune. He would give an
arm to see us up on our hind legs
believing like a bay steer. 1t
would afford him more soulful
qualification than anything which
has happened since the Masonic
lodge declined. So far, we have
managed to Withstand his irritating
Establishments, but we never feel
safe. Any day he may catch us off
guard and set us to roaring be-
fore we know it. But if he does
we shall feel like the man who re-
fused to get mad at the fellow who
cheated him. That man said he
couldn't help but feel the most pro-
found admiration for any fellow
who was smart enough to do that.
We are told that Cooper has one
victim who, to him, is always
thing of beauty and a source of joy.
Whenever the town quiets down
and the dove of peace is about to
alight, if no new roars show up,
Cooper gives that victim a poke
and straightway the cauldron be-
gins to boil and bubble emitting
roars that shake society to its foun
dations.
