Burrows today gave notice in the senate
that on Tuesday next he would call up
the Smoot case in the senate and ask for

obtain a vote of the senate upon the ma
jority report of the privileges and elections
committee, which declares that Smoot is
not entitled to retain his seat in the SEN
ate. An attempt to secure vote on this
report will undoubtedly provoke extended
discussion, for the adoption of the report
would be construed to carry with 1t
Shoots expulsion by the anti-SmOot sen
ators The presiding officer of the SEN
ate, il is expected will rule that 1t must
be adopted by a two-thirdS vote OF the

strued as a final expression of opinion,

that no treaty rights have been violated

fit the treaty is clearly unconstitutional
and should not stand.

Senator Dubois Declares the
President Is Open Ally
of Mormon Church.
Especial TO The Herald)

Washington. ID. c.. DeG although in
his message today President Roosevelt ad-
vises that congress at once should deal
radically and efficiently with pOlygamy
Senator DUBOIS believes and says that the
president is ean open ally of MOrmonism.
In his address before the Methodist Mis-
sionary society last night Dubois said;
President Roosevelt is an open ally of
MOrmOnism. as has been shown by his at
ttude in the recent Investigations into the
conditions of that church.
He resents the publication of the testi-
mOny in the case of Apostle Reed SmOot.
and intimates that countless good women
of the country are being misled in their
attacks on MOrmOnism and the unchris-
tian principles on which that creed is
based. The political influence Of the adj
ministration was never so strongly felt in
Idaho as in the last gUbernatOTial cam
paign. and it was unTeservedly thrown on
the side of the Mormon church.
'POlygamy still exists. despite the man.
ifestO of the church against it. Ii flour
ishes under the very eyes of the twelve
apostles and with the consent of the her
archy. Formerly this was confined main
" to the poorer classes. but now all young
men of ability are forced to lead this life
if they wish to attain any prominence in
the church or in politics. There is an ar
istOcracy of pOlygamists and this aristOc-
racy controls eight United States SEN
ators.'

SLAYDEN WANTS
WHITE TROOPS
Texas Congressman Proposes
to Discharge All Negro SOL
dierS From the Army.

Washington, Dec. 4-Representative
Slayden of Texas today introduced d bill
which provides that ION or before the
Goth day of June. 1907. all enlisted men
of the army who are negroes or of negro
descent shall be discharged from the SER
vice of the United States and thereafter
no negro or person of negro descent shall
be enlisted or appointed in the army OF
the United Sta.es."
In explaining his bill, Mr.. Sayden said:
The bill speaks for itself. 1t was not
introduced for buncOmbe Ny purpose is
to give the congress of the United States
ar opportunity 10 purge the army Of an
admittedly dangerous element. To say
that the negroes are brave is not an argu-
ment against this measure. Many men
have been brave, i'm fact, most men are
il the matter of fighting. The COmanche
and Sioux Indians are as brave as men
can be but no one would seriously sug
gest that we ultimately recruit regiments
from them, put guns into their hands and
ststion them near companies of white
troops toward whom they entertain in
herent race hostility. The Twenty-fifth
infantry is manfestly imbued with the
same race hostility and events have
shown il TO be quite as dangerous as the
Sioux OF COmanche would be.
