THE SMOOT REPORTS.

Two reports on the case of Reed
Smoot, United States Senator from
Utah, were submitted to the Senate
Monday by the committee on privileges
and elections. The majority report is
to the effect that Mr.. Smoot is not en-
titled to his seat and the minority de-
clares that he is. Both reports are for
titled by facts and law that would ap
pear to be conclusive to the lay mind
if read separately, but both are signed
by such able lawyers and students of
the Constitution that the average citi-
zen in the end will have to take refuge
in his own idea of the proprieties and
judge the case for himself. The stick
Ter for constitutional rights will insist
that Smoot be not disturbed while the
man who contemplates the un-Ameri-
can practices, regulations and obliga-
lions of the Mormon church, of which
Smoot is one of the chief rulers, will in
sist that he beIeXcluded from the sen
ate chamber
This latter view is pretty generally
held. Indeed the majority contends
very ably that it may be sustained
without any violence to the Constitu-
ton, laying especial stress upon the
oath of vengeance that must be taken
by every man holding Mr.. Smoot's
high position in Mormon authority.
Opposition to Shoots presence in the
senate might close its eyes to every
thing else charged against him and
hang its case entirely upon this one
item, and there would still be sufficient
reason why The should not sit in the
greatest legislative body in the nation.
Mr.. Shoots election was deliberate
batting Of American public sentiment,
and his continued tenure in the senate
has been an especial affront to Ameri-
can womanhood, to say nothing of de-
fiance Of the American government
that is specifically stated in the oath
of vengeance. His exclusion at this
time might be a technical wrenching
of the letter Of the law, but it would
do no violence to the spirit. THE let
ter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 5"
1t is far better to vindicate American
institutions and ideals than to strain a
point in preserving this one mans
title which he never should have ac-
cepted. Legally the problem presented
is of exceeding delicacy, but it is en-
tirely safe to venture the suggestion
that infinitely less harm will be done
by Mr.. Shoots exclusion than by his
retention in the seats of the mighty.

A Practical Test Of Advance " i.er
Information will Be N1+..

A practical test CT the plan 10 supply
the farmers living on the rural Tree de-
livery mail routes with weather fore
casts twelve hours earlier than those
now sent out will be made by the post
office department and the weather bu-
reau. Postmaster General Cortelyou
now has the matter under consideration.
The plan is TO TO have the weather
bureau telegraph the morning forecast
to the postmasters in the rural towns
from which the mail is sent to the
farmers. Those postmasters will be
provided with rubber stamps with which
they will stamp the weather predictions
on the back of each letter that passes
through their offices.
At present these postmasters send
the farmers living along the rural
routes forecasts which are stamped on
small pieces of cardboards similar to
those used in the cities and distributed
by the mail carriers. There are two
serious objections to this plan Of furn-
ishing forecasts to the farmers. One
is that they are the forecasts made at
8 O'Clock the previous evening and are
twelve hours old before leaving the
country postoffice for delivery to the
farmer.

Letter to A. D. NayIor
Oakland, Md.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; your grandfather, if he was a
blacksmith, made 'em. You can't af-
ford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good, or better
perhaps, readymade to your hand, for a
little more than the cost Of the iron.
What do you think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that IS
far better-done than he can do it, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoes
and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
Heis wasting his chance in the world.
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint:
and no better work than putting them
on. Good horseshoes well put on: It's
the putting 'em on that makes you a
blacksmith, no matter who makes 'em.
Who wants to go back to old times,
and make his own horseshoes?
Between US two, the painter don't
know how to make good paint-he used
to; but paint has run away from him.
Yours truly
so FW DEvoE & Co
P. S. Dixon & Kelso sell our paint.

cisco, that the statement would show an
important loss of cash. On the contrary.
It indicated only a moderate decrease
The enormous volume of liquidation in
the stock market during the week made
II extremely probable that the loans would
indicate a sharp contraction. There was
however, unusually large expansion of

heavy reduction in the surplus reserve,
