Georgetown Affairs.

The dangerous old charred pole, which
has stood for many years In front OF 3605
NJ street and served as cable station for
the Potomac Electric Power Company, has
been removed and the wires and cables
placed underground as far up Canal road
as 37th street In addition to being an I'M
slightly object, 1t was the source of much
complaint as 1t has been frequently set
afre by grounded cables and wires attached
therto, and aside from threatening adjoin-
ing property the molten metal dropped
upon passing pedestrians. The spectacular
eject from the flashes OF electricity from
this pole will long be remembered by citf-
gems who have witnessed them The

responded to alarms to extinguish flames

Der of the party knows and every clti-
zen knows that if Roberts were not
member of the hierarchy-being po-
lygamist, he would not be accepted as
a leader by the Democracy; and every
member of the party knows and every
citizen knows that his eminence will
end whenever his superior ecclesiasts
shall so determine: for, at their word,
he would be compelled TO rehnquish
all appearance Of leadership in Demo
cratic circles, at their counsel he could
be compelled TO absent himself from
Utah and this Nation The Republican
party admits that Roberts is the chief
figure in the Democracy of Utah. Re.
publican organs certify him as man
of magnificent character and attain
ments.
And thus we have the case present
ed; rhe Republican party is led by
Reed Smoot, apostle; the subsidiary
Democratic party is led by Brigham Fl.
Roberts, one Of the seven presidents
OF seventies.
Combined, these two make Smootism;
and Smoohsm means the rule of the
church in the politics of this State.

THE YOUNG SCoFFERs.

Let him bo a Senator, who cares, but for
q greedy CRATER to masquerade around with
tho buro pretenso OF religious authority makos
older mon and women sigh aud hang their
heads. while the young mon laugh aloud, hs
hal and scoR at system that holds up such
an q representative OF the Savior of
mankind.
That IS a part OF a personal letter
concerning Reed Smoot, apostle, writ
ten to The Tribune by Mormon who
has been for sixty years, and still is,
in the church. lie resides not a thou
sand miles north Of Salt Lake. His
name is known to all the people.
The correspondent is careful to say
that he does not write for publica-
tiop, although he has no objection to
having his sentiments quoted-there-
fore Tho Tribune does not give his let
ter in full, but in voicing his opinion
prefers to use his own telling language.
Yes, the old people in tho Mormon
church are ashamed OF the decline and
fall Of the prophets, seers and revela-
tors. Yes, the young people scoff Mt
pretension which has 80 little logic,
reverence and decency as is demon
strated by the profane claims of the
priesthood.
After the news of the Valparaiso earth
quake was received here a young man
who was reared IN the church remarked
to group OF his friends; "I have
been pondering on this matter of proph-
ecY by our church and I confess that
the whole thing is either mystery be-
yond all ordinary reasoning perception
or is an absurdity beyond ordinary
common-sense acceptance. At first and
for many years j believed as l was
taught, that the Lord God Almighty
permitted nothing TO happen on this
earth without first telling tho presi-
dency Of this church, I honestly be-
lieved, as my mother instructed me,
that the prophets and apostles were in
daily nication-detailed conver-
sation-with the Lord But after q
good\many things had shaken my faith
there came along the San Francisco
earthquake. Millions of property were
destroyed and hundreds Of lives lost.
How was it that the prophets did not
know OF this calamity7 If the Lord
had concluded to punish that particu-
lar city for It's sins why did not the
president of the church receive the
information and issue the warning9

THE TWO LEADERS.

is there Gentilo in Utah, is there
an Independent voter Of the Mormon
church, who now can doubt the quality
or tho quantity Of Smootism in its
character as the ecclesiastical rulership
Of political affairs in this State1
First, the, Republican party is led
or rather driven, by Reed Smoot, apos-
tie Of the Mormon church, whose coer-
Give policies upon his party are sup
ported by tho entire hierarchy of tho
church Only so long as tho chief
prophet, seer and revelator permits
Reed Smoot TO be the dictator can he
hold that position. Every member Of
the party knows and every citizen
knows that if President Smith were to
direct Reed Smoot TO step aside he
would be compelled TO relinquisb all
his authority. Every member of the
party knows and every citizen knows
that so long as President Smith g favor
is extended to Reed Smoot as an apos-
tolic prime minister he is the ordained
autocrat OF party movement and the
dictator of the events OF party pro-
cedure. So clear is this in the public
mind that opposing newspapers and
opposing parties accept Apostle Reed
Smoot as the chief Republican figure.
Second, the Democratic party has for
its chief spokesman a minor hierarch
Of the church, President Brigham II.
Roberts, one Of the seven presidents
Of seventies. 1T would not do to
have Democratic apostle as the chief
figure OF the Democracy, for that
might seem like rivalry of Apostle
Smoot as the general political dictator.
AS the Democracy is q subsidiary party
to the Republican party in Utah Cor
rather a subsidiary quorum to the Re-
publican quorum Of the church poll
teal forces) a subsidiary hierarch is
selected to lead the Democratic column.
President Brigham II. Roberts, who ia
thus chosen, is the man who was, for
the sake Of his "religion, expelled
from Congress. He was one Of the
most notorious polygamists in Utah,
Haunting his fragrant offense in the
sight of all local society and finally de-
tcrmined to haunt his defiance of law
and decency in the face of the Nation.
To what depth has the Democracy sunk
when this man is selected to proclaim
its gospel, to be its law giver, to stand
in the vanguard and point the way Of
its pretended progrcssl And in what
low esteem the hierarchy must hold its
Democratic quorum when it imposes
Roberts, rejected Congressman, notori
Gus polygamist, as the chief figure of
its political movement Every mem

A MINING JUDGE.

|
Like all other great factors in our
complex civilization, the law IS becom-
ing specialized. Practitioners at the
bar who gain eminence In these days
and who are most effective for their
clientele, both in council and in court,
are, as a rule, especially equipped in
some department of legal lore and its
application to constructive work and
TO litigation. Similarly we find that
Judges on the bench who give the most
notable and useful decisions arc those
whose line of preceding practice or ju-
| dicial experience has run along some
ono of the great specialties. Thus we
have decisions upon constitutional
matters which hsve served as beacon
lights, and thus We are gaining in this
utilitarisn age decisions which VIII
serve as authoritative interpretations
and precedents through the coming
years.
One Of the most intricate matters
which comes before Judicial tribunals
is the mining controversy in the law,
There is no domain in which greater
interests are involved in litigation, and
no other in which judicial mistake
can be more costly. The mining in
dustry in the United States has grown
TO be the chief; and its success in
special instances is moro dependent,
than is the success Of any other indus
try, upon tho ability of mining men
to protect their perfectly definite and
yet easily assailed rights in court.
In view of the great growth of this
industry, which promises in the imme-
diato future to far excel anything Of
its past magnitude, and which promises
TO easily keep in the vanguard OF
American interests, it would seem only
reasonable TO ask that a Judge well
equipped in knowledge Of mining and
appointed as a Justice of the Supreme
Court Of the United States to fill the
vacancy which will soon be created
by the retirement Of an esteemed mem
ber Of that Court. There can be moth
ing extraordinary in the idea since
SODSlCSS has dlICduJ pecH CONSTRUCTING,
and with apparently growing favor,
the idea of creating q special depart
ment of mining and the elevation Of
its head as Cabinet officer; nor can
there be anything extraordinary in the
idea when it is remembered that the
recent selection Of Justices OF the Su-
preme Court has been with due con-
TO the special qualifications
and training of the lawyers, 30 hon.
ored, in the various distinct depart
ments of practice and judicature.
It is with these things in view that
Hon. Thomas Kearns has addressed the
public through the columns Of Tho
Tribune today In an admirable letter,
which forcefully states the existing
facts and makes an earnest appeal for
due recognition OF the chief industry OF
this region. Without attempting to be
iuvidious, Senator Kearns has named
several distinguished jurists, any one
Of whom would bo an ornament to the
bench Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States. President Roosevelt
could not render greater service in
this regard than to select some one of
these for the exalted place; and citi-
zens of Utah and surrounding country
would be grateful indeed if the sug-
gestion of Senator Kearns could find
response in the action OF the Chief

chief articles are already garnered The

average yield. The potato crop received
a temporary backset from the recent
heavy storm. but there Is no reason to
suppose that IL is permanently injured
by It. Fruit IS greater in volume ana
