TRUTH ABOUT sMooT CASE.
CwashinEtOn PostD


Doubtless millions Of people throughout
the United States are firmly convinced
that the SmoOt case has become chronic
and viii flourish like a green bay tree
into remote fUturity. 1t is being cIassed
with the historic case of Billy Patterson
and his mysterious assailant. and with
that other mystery Of local renown con-
corning the whereabouts of Dorsey
FOultz Tedious lawsuits and lingering
malarial fevers may become notable
hereafter in proportion as they rival or
tatI short of the longevity of the SmOOt
case. Centenarians may gather their
grandchildren about them. and in
Wheezy accents recount the primitive con-
diuOns that prevailed when the SmoOt
case was dinned into their childish ears
Senators Of the future NAV run a cross
muSty tones and read with curiosity the
faded testimony and the commentaries of
their legendary predecessors on the SmOOt
case There Will be wars, there will be
bOundleSS expansion; there will be new
nations and new world problems, and the
SmOOt case may Outlast them all. 5eCOm-
ing in the fullness of time the full broth
er Of the Sphinx and the Wandering Jew
We hope not, Of course; but il is well
to look probabilities in the face There
is a subtle, musical, hypnotic suggestion
in the very words ''SmOOt case" Com
mOnplaCe facts Crumble quickly into the
dust of tradition and take on fantastic
cOlOrS which appeal TO the ina ginatiOn.
Men delight in mysteries and romance
We of this age know there Is a man
named SmOOt, and in a general way know
the points of the SmOot case-nOt clearly
for the impression is rapidly fading But
what will the next generation know? VIII
there not be in the words "SmOOt case
a compendium Of legendary lore, dealing
with a mythical being bearing the magic
name Of SmOOt. and reciting his prOdig-
iOus deeds2 We believe So for the ten
dency is in that direction, and the witch
cry of the name itself hints Of enChant-
ment and things unreal
All sorts of explanations are made of
the inability of the Senate committee to
dispose of the SmOot caseI It is said,
for one thing, that the Republican ma
iOrity is afraid TO decide it for fear that
thousands of enTaged Mormon voters in
the West would rise up and smite the par
ty. This may be dismissed as the wrong
guess, as the Democrats of Idaho, state
containing many MOrmOns. have not only
adopted anti-pOlygamy and ant-Mormon
resolutions but have expelled MOrmOEs
from their councils The Republicans
could DO no more, and the Republican
senator's need have no fear that they
would drive the M0TmOUS into the Demo
cratic fold by Unseating Reed SmOOt-
Other alleged explanations Of senatorial
inactfOn are equally failacfOus when ana
lived No; the Smoot case is beyond the
power Of the senate committee. It has
passed into the cloudy realm Of enChant-
ment, and will live forever and a day.

Say. nv little boy, be friends with me
and I'll be friends with you;
And 7 won't never tell on you, no matter
what you do
goodness, but it hard
To have your mother say that you must
play in your backyard.
There's lot Of daisies where / an, and
butterflies as bright
As anything you ever saw, and just
saw one light:
Perhaps you'd catch it in your cap il I
would help you to
Come over and be friends with me and
I'll be friends with you
I'm all the children we have gOt-Tm
lonesome as can be,
I wish you wouldn't be afraid to come
and play with me
I don't care If your face amt clean or
II your clothes are torn,
I didn't have 10 clothes at all the time
that I was born.
We got ripe apples on our trees and
That You can get some if you come, and
when it's time to go
Wen your cap and pockets full to
take home Don't you see
I'm willing to be friends with you if
you'll be friends with me2
I've got lot of wooden toys, as fine as
they can be,
But I want something that's alive to run
around with me-
And play with Indians and bears, and
II you'll come and play
Perhaps my mamma'H let me come
and play with you some day
We've got some dandy hollow trees, the
finest anyWheTes.
And one Of Us can hide in them when we
are playing bears
And growl lust like he's awful cross,
and all the time you know
It's only make-believe, Of course, but
then IL scares you So
I wish you'd come and play with me.
I've got p jumping jack
I'll give you for your very own to keep
when you go back,
And you can ride my v'lOcipede most
all the afternoon
And blow some bubbles with my pipe
and play with the balloon.
I've got an awful lot Of toys and I viii
let you play
That they are yours as much as mine
for all the time YOU stay
I'm all the boys my folks have got.
I'm lonesome as can be-
Come on. and I'll be friends with you
if you'll be friends with me.

ONLY Partial JUSTICE.

After making every effort to defeat
& decent statehood bill for Arizona and
New Mexico, the Republican managers
have had 10 make 3 partial concession
IN and agree TO a conference report
from the house and senate and senate
committees granting statehood with an
opportunity for Arizona and New Mex
leo to vote on the question. Event
ualIy this means that Arizona will re-
fuse 70 accept union with New Mexico
and the day Of Independence viii be
deferred until an administration ar
rives which will grant the separate
statehood which has been promised for
years
The right to express at the polls the
viii Of the people is so evident. is such
an axiom in American affairs that It
is almost increditable there should be
any difficulty IN securing it. Yet a Re
publican administration, led by the
president. has attempted to force upon
the territories an obnoxious union with
out even permitting a vote. As has
been pointed out before, the purpose OF
.his arbitrary, un-American effort, has
been 20 limit the possibilities of addi-
tionaI Democratic senators from the
southwest. The Republican party in
convention has long been pledged 10
grant statehood TO both Arizona and
New Mexico as separate common
wea1ths. The sentiment of the country
is unouestionabIy In favor Of separa-
ton and statehood. and if the exigen-
cfes Of petty political demands were
out of the way it would not take an
hour for congress TO grant what the
country asks. AS it IS the Arizona peo-
pIe have to be content with accepting

COUNT wITTE's DOWNFALL.
Russian Newspapers Are Uncertain as to the Significance of Govern
 ment's Latest Move.

St. Petersburg, May 4.-The imme- diate organization of the new cabinet is now anticipated. All the ministers are understood to have placed their resignations in the emperor's hands.
 The future policy of the government Is so carefully guarded that the papers are non-plussed as to whether Count Witte's downfall means a reversal of the lever or the possibility of reach ing common ground in parliament. The majority of the papoS attribute the fall of the cabinet t bad re- ception of the draft of the r9ndament- al laws, and it also involves the with drawal of the latter, which is believed to be a hopeful sign.
 The Strana Country says:
 The passing of Witte with whom parliament could not work opens the door to possible reapproachment of the representatives of the people"
 The Noyoe Vremya thinks the em- peror has no intention of entirely dis pensing with Witte's services and ex- presses the opinion that Witte will take the reins of the council of the empire and block radical action on the part of the lower house.
 The Slovo regards the downfall of the Witte ministry as the natural se- quence of the unanimous protest of the press against the draft of the fun damseltal law
