LACK OF GRASP.

The Minneapolis Tribune. in its dis
cussion of the Smoot case, loses sight
of the central point OF the whole oues-
ton. Apparently 1t is blinded by the
superficial cry that the Smoot case is
one in which religious persecution is
involved. It's central thought is en-
bodied in this paragraph:
II high prelates, subject in their re-
ligious capacity to home or foreign
churches sought election to Congress
is American citizens and succeeded,
how could they be excluded? The pTin-
ciple of separation OF church and state
cuts both ways. 1t forbids the Govern
ment and the people to inquire into the
religious beliefs. opinions or oblga-
tons of voters or public officers,
And it eIaborates the thought fur
ther In the words following:
The difference between the supposed
case and that OF Smoot is very slight
in principle. In practice the Mormon
hierarchy seems to claim greater pow
er over all the acts Of its members and
to meddle far more In the politics of
the country than any other modern
church. On this ground the Senate
committee proposes to exclude Smoot
because of his belief in the unlawful
practice OF polygamy and his supposed
allegiance to an organization that has
set the United States Government at
defiance and may do so again.
This looks plausible. but, after all.

with matter OF opinion and bellef2 1t

Smoot; not even the public teaching of

comes under greater strain, we must
compromise q little with the American
ideal of free speech. But there is no
visible necessity for Furnishing free
thought, however atrocious,
Now that, OF course, merely skins
over the surface. The election OF a
prelate of any home or foreign church
to Congress-, either the Senate OF the
House, would be a small matter. 1t
would have no special relation to the
Smoot case unless the church OF which

HARMONY AND ENERGY.

The discussion between the Council
and the Board OF Public Works on
Tuesday afternoon did not do much
to clear UP the situation as it relates
to the confusion In the bids for the
street paving. Tho core OF the whole
question will be reached when city
Attorney Hiles delivers his opinion as
to the authority of the Board OF Public
Works In readvertising and awarding
contracts or rejecting bids There has
been somewhat of a mlsconccption In
the mind of the public, and OF some OF
the officials, as well, as TO the bidding
on Second South street. east. 1t has
been stated, and The Tribune on Satur-
day morning fell into error on that
point. that the Barber company did
not bid on that Second South street
paving This is wrong it did bid on
that paving. It's figures being for 1t In
its bid of April 11th, $10l,S09; but in the
same companys bid of juno 18th the
figures on this work were placed at
Sis, S,0SS.30. This increase on tho bid
bears out the idea OF City Engineer
Kelsey that since the bid Of April 11th
there has been a raise in material and
labor-cspecially In labor-that makes
these subsequent figures seem not TO
high.
AT the same time, we should be glad.

to the Barber bid of April 1lth. That
was the most favorable bid that the
1lf Ie IN
ceivc, on this work If there Is any
possible way to get back TO that bid,
that is what ought to be done.
The Council and the administration
must keep In mind that harmony is
essential TO success and a satisfactory
management of city affairs; that just
consideration for the powers and duties
of each department OF the municipal
government is due. as well as that the
rights of the public and of the
bidders arc entitled to the fairest con-
sideratlon, 1t must also be remembered
that the season is passing. and while
1t is true that good many months of
fine weather are still ahead OF us, 1t
must also not be forgotten that two
months and more of good weather have
now been spent in this struggle over
the bids, If the bid of April 11th had
been promptly accepted, the work
would have been we'll under way by
this time. If there is no way of ac-
cepting that bid. then there should be

without delay to do the work itself,

the offense Is not permitted to be lost

many years large sums of the COM

TUG OF WAR IN RUSSIA.

The tug Of war between the Car,
with tho autocratic forces OF which
he stands the head. on one side. and
the Douma. with the masses of tho
Russian population at their back. on
the other. is threatening to prove dis
astrous TO the whole structure Of the
Russian Government. These two
forces represent a direct active, Niru-
lent antagonism. One stands for the
old order In which autocracy and ad-
ministrative peremptoriness carry on
the Government and effect results. Tho
other stands for beginning OF popular
rights, for the setting aside of auto
cratic and administrative iTTesponsi-
bility and for tho recognition OF per-
sonal rights and the investigation OF
charges by judicial process, taking tho
time TO inquire into the matter and
do justice 60 all concerned.
1t is bad enough to sec such life
and-death struggle as that between
these two forces OF great people; but
there Is an even greater foe at hand
which is equally antagonistic TO the
absolutIsm of the Gar and TO the mod
Grafton Of the Douma that is the radi-
cal. anarchistic element which Is
equally bent upon the destruction OF
both of these contendlng powers. and
Of the Government itself At the back
of these radical destructive elements
there is a blinded mass of zealotry
which is ready 10 break forth in pillage
al
word Is given by tho leaders
The Car dares not give way for fear
OF the nobility and Of tho established
order. and moro especially because of
the opposition of the priests and his
fear OF their denunciation: 10 which
must be added his more or less timid
remembrance OF historic assasslnations
and palace revolutions effected be-
tween night and morning. For the
nobility act with vlgor and promptness,
and when a Car who IS weak does not
meet their view. that Cars career Is
liable to be short The Car under
stands this more fully than any one
else can. and he dare not yield even
as much as he would like to yield to
the Douma.
on the other hand. the Douma is
afraid OF the radicals. but dare not
give way because Of the masses of the
people which stand at It's back.
The anarchists are the active. prose-
lyting, vigorous, unrelenting, con-
scIenceless force which is bent upon
destruction for distinctions sake. and
IS ready without much discrimination
to turn its batteries against either
Car or Douma or against the masses
of the we'll meaning people themselves,
1t is a terrible situation. this tug
OF war. and may at any day snap the
rope upon which the strain comes. and
when that breaks the whole fabric Of
the Government is liable to go to
pieces 1t looks at times as II Rus
sia might lapse into chaos, and new
and racial national mities arise upon
the ruins. In such a case there would
be terrible danger OF a general war

sets up any such temporal government,
or any such claim OF civil supremacy,
or demands any such civil allegiance
from its members: nor does any other
church extort from It's membership an
oath Of vengeance upon the people of
the United States and upon this Gov
ernment.
1t is not merely the adherence to the
unlawful practice OF polygamy, it Is
not merely an allegiance to an organ

Government at defiance. but it is al
legiance to an alien. hostile govern

that alien and hostile government. that

There is no need OF the least ambiguity
