REED SHOOTS CASE.

Reports from Washington indicate proba-
bility that on Monday next the senate may take a
vote on the Reed Smoot case. Naturally there is
keen interest in the result for Smoot has been per-
mtted to occupy a seat as the senator from Utah
Tor nearly four years against the protests and in
defiance OF the overwhelming sentiment of the
American people
however, II vote is taken it is far more likely
TO be in favor of permitting Smoot to finish
OUT the slX-years term than against his further re-
tention OF seat which the decent people of the
country believe he should never have been permit
ted to FILL
What has delayed decision in this case co
long and allowed Smoot to exercise ali tbe r;ohts
and privileges of a senator? Partisan politics And
the same partisan politics are likely TO apnrove his
titIe when the question comes up for final vote.
Reed Smoot was admitted to the senate ON
March 4, 1903, and the term for which he was
eieoteu VIII expire March 3, 1900 During the
"e"iy iour years that have elapsed since he first
TOOK MS seat the senate has been engaged in an
inquiry as to his right to hold it and is now about
10 hnally settle the question of title
/ he senate is Republican, and Smoot has acted
at all times and on all measures with the Renrb-
hcan majority. Is it likely that at this time when
Smoot has served two-thrds of the term for which
he was chosen, a Republican senate will decide he
is not entitled to that seat because he is member
OF the hierarchy of the Mormon church and pledped
by an oath which that church exacts to unceasino
y labor for the overthrow of the government Of the
United States?
Not at all. Indeed, everything points to a de
cision in favor of Smoot by the senate majority that
mas prohted by his vote. Having allowed him to
remain four years, the Republicans will hardly
thrust him out when he has but two years more
to serve
1t is to be remembered also that Smoot was
elected as the result of bargain made by leaders
in the Mormon church TO turn the state of Utah
over to Mckinley, and Smoot can demand continu-
ancc in Office until the expiration of his term i'm
fulhllment of that bargain
How different the manner in which the house
OF representatives dealt with the case of Roberts
he was elected as representative. but as he was
a Democrat besides bcing,a member of the Mormon
church, though not so high in its councils as is
Smoot he was never permitted to take his seat even
and was declared not entitled to it in the most for
NAL and emphatic manner.
Were Smoot Democrat. need there be any
doubt that the doors of the senate would long ago
have been closed against him?

JUST SNAKES.

Serpents often eat one another.
Two headed snakes are not uncommon.
Snakes can live year or more without
food.
Some snakes play possum. or act as
dead, as a means OF defense
Fangs or serpents are renewed or grow
In again after being extracted.
Snakes and other reptiles are not "cold
blooded," but are the temperature OF
their surroundings.
The young black snake is gray and spot
ted and often mistaken for the spottcd
adder, water snake or copperhead.

PRIMARY ELECTION REFORM.

At tuC SOuliuS pIiuldiy CiCCtiOu
in Colorado, next fall, full set of
state officials will be chosen, and
there will also be elected members
of the state legislature who will
choose a senator Of the United
States from Colorado. 1t remains
to be seen whether the conduct of
that campaign will be any different
from that of former political strug-
giles, but there is at least serious
danger that corrupt political ring,
acting in alliance with, and under
orders of, corrupting syndicate
of millionaire public utility corpoa-
tions. will nominate the ticket of
both political parties in this state,
and will secure the election of the
candidates that are able to secure
the largest amount of corporation
support, without any regard what
ever either to the political princi-
Piles involved, or to the will of the
majority Of the voters Of the state.
For many years, in this state,
general elections have been q farce,
and shouts of reform, arising for
the most part from political law
breakers striving to distract public
attention from their own crimes by
denouncinG the crimes of their op-
ponents. have deceived no one, and
have led to no genuine betterment
of political affairs. No moral ben
eft is obtained when Democratic
election thief Is punished by Re-
publicans because the thief is a
Democfat, while dozens Of Repub-
lican thieves 60 free.
And the foundation of this politi-
cal structure of rottehness, by
, which alone the evils of Colorado
politics are made possible, is the
primary system.
Experience in other states where
real reforms have been accomplished
! has demonstrated that reformed
primary is an absolute necessity
for honest politics.
So long as the gang and the cor
poration-in- politics are able to die
tate party nominations regardless
of the peoples will. 1t does not
make any great difference how the
people vote, for they will be mis-
governed. whichever party is sue
cessful.
Experience III other states has
also shown that it is possible to put
into effect system of primary
elections that make it difficult, if
not impossible, for any gang to
control primaries and conventions,
and such a system must be adopted
in Colorado before genuine political
reform can. be established perma-
tlently in this state.
The most important political
matter before the people of Colo
tado at this time, is to elect a legis-
