of third term for President Roosevelt,

that Mr.. Roosevelt s Presidency dates
only from March, 1905" and that as
Vice"President his temporary perform
not count as a Presidential term. The

attitude and then goes on to say:
But, even " the Presidents construction

In the most emphatic way the Presi-
dent has declared that he would not be
candidate for reelection; the whole
country has been made aware of his de-
termination; parties and politicians
nave accepted the announcement as
final and as a political pledge But
1t would be contrary to the practice of
the church organ if ii failed to com
mend any proposition which embodied
its favorite "virtue' of evasion of
responsibility and disregard of pledge.
Reputation of uttered word of honor is
a characteristic of the Deseret News
and of the criminal priestcraft of which
it is the special champion. so that any
advocacy of such course in others is
but an attempted justification OF its
own custom

IMBECILE STATISTICS.

The Savannah (Georgia) News tells
us that "not less than SI50.000,00 has
been invested in more or less worthless
mining securities this year ~ A happy
saving expression is that, "more or less
worthless!" 1t might be just as cor.
rect to say more or less worth.
How does the Savannah paper. or its
informant, know what the mines are
worth which are represented by this
enormous Investment Assuming that
not one among the ventures is today a
dividend payer, it is probably beyond
the power of the Georgia paper, or the
authority which it quotes with so much
positiveness, to indicate certainly any
particular one of them which may not
become a dividend payer
OF course, there are wildcats in min.
ing ventures, just as there are wildcats
in railroad and other stocks; but to as
sumo that the entire investment of one
hundred and fifty millions of dollars is
in worthless enterprises in mining is to
be supremely ridiculous.
The very character of the statement
indicates that all the new stocks placed
upon the market in mineral properties
which are not yet developed TO the point
of paying returns TO investors, arc
counted in the worthless class; and that
kind Of judgment is not less but more
than worthless-it is imbaeila

sMooT IS A PART OF IT.

The Buffalo Express gives its editor
ial opinion concerning the famous con-
test now on in Washington In an article
reprinted today under the caption,
Smoot Case Up
The Express is usually lucid and logi-
cal, but on this occasion it seems to
have departed from its ordinary high
standard If one accepts the first two
paragraphs of it's article there is ample
reason for Smoot 8 dismissal from the
Senate, If one accepts the concluding
part of its article there is no proSer
way to reach Smoot or the Mormon
church.
The hierarchy are the Mormon
church The twenty.six men who stand
at the head rule the entire organization
with an absolutism unequaled on the
face of the earth. When Charge is
substantiated against the hie1archy it
is substantiated against Apostle Smpot,
for he is part of that hierarchy. To
say that the church is a reasonable or
ganization, that it inculsatcs crime,
tnat III ueneS law ana the CONSTITUTION
and breaks its own covenant with the
country, and then to say that the men
who rule the church canRot he reached
is an absurdity.
The law and the courts unite in fix
ing the responsibility in such cases.
Reed Smoot can no more escape his ac.
countability for the a,fenses which the
Mormon church commits, for the teach
ing of polygamy, fbr the sanction of
polygamy, for the 5eaching of disloyal-
ty, for the practice of disloyalty, than
he can escape from his name and his
personal appearance. These are part
of him and he is a part of them. With
out the hierarchy and its members the
church would not be, and without the
church and it's offenses Apostle Smoot
would not be Senator. There is no
possible way to draw the line between
the church and its ruling class, for the
ruling class are the church; and of that
ruling class Reed Smoot is, next to the
president, one of the chiefs.

Smoot Case Up

Reed Smoot became 2 United States
Senator from the State Of Utah on
March 1, 1908. After three years Of IN
0estiga tlon, going into the fulles, de
tails of the theories and practices of
the Mormon church, the committee on
privileges and elections has placed be
fore the Senate a resolution recitiug
that he is not entitled TO his seat This
now becomes the first question 10 be
considered and disposed of by that
body
The case against the Mormon church.
as recited in Senator Burrows s speech
yesterday is very complete II has
hierarchy ruling its subjects with an
iron hand. Il eXcrts ts influence in
politics with such success that il may
truthfuly be called the most powerful
and autocratic political machine in the
United States. II is not only un.Ameri-
can in itself, but its teaching and prac-
tees are in many respects distinctly
hostile TO the Constitution and govern
ment of the United States, IT. still
maintains the righteousness Of polvg
amy, which is openly tolerated if not
tacitly encouraged.
II the Mormon church could be sub
stituted for Reed Smoot as the defend
ant in this case, there could be no ques
tion as TO what the decision of the SEN
ate ought to be But the case against
Smoot IS an individual rests solely on
tho fact that he is one OF twelve apos-
ties who constitute the ruling body of
tins church. There is no evidence that
he is q polygamist and he claims that
he is not. There IS only inferential evil
dence that he did not take his oath of
office in good faith with the intention
Of Keeping it, regardless of any obi
cations which he may owe 10 his
church. The expulsion of Smoot would
amount to declaration that no Nor
mon can sit in the Senate of the United
States. The question is whether the
Senate under the Constitution can take
such a position as this and whether,
if il can, the precedent of barring vo-
taries of particular church as such
would not be more mischievous than
any harm they can do
Since its admission Utah has been
represented in the Senate mostly by
Mormons, any of whom might have
been expelled on as strong grounds as
are alleged against Smoot The expul-
sion of Smoot, therefore. would be a de
parture from the established precedent.
Undoubtedly II would crafty public

what is popular.-Buffalo Express

from Europe to those packing houses
declared them TO be in a Wholesome and
cleanly condition, better than similar
concerns fin Europe, in cleanliness, san
itation, and methods. This same circu-
lar says that in two days "twentythree
meat Gfealers in Cardiff were inter
viewed; the consensus of opinion is that
the exposures were much exaggerated in
the Ikritish papers, that American meats
are uniformly good, that the prices are
lower, that the profits to the grocers
are higher and that coincidence in
American goods is gradually return
ing
AS a matter of fact, there was never
Gne least reason for the destroyal of
that confidence. The Federal inspectors
always inspected rigidly the meats for
export; so wholly effective was that SUI
pervision that even the hostile and sus-
picious zeal of the German inspectors
were not able to find any fault with it
as to meats imported into Germany
from the United States. AS result,
the canned and other cured beef exports
to Germany increased largely from
1904 to 1905 and 1906, in the nine
months given, the values of the exports
being as follows:
1904. 1905. 1906
Canned beef ....s 81, ,o32 $ 67.21S Sl4s. 400
8nSr 8ae0n cured beef sol s7sl s5SsSS sS$G
Hams eco. ...... l6.1S7 81, 1Q3 1929
But the fact of the rigid inspection
of meats for export, which met every
requirement of an unfriendly inspection
in Germany, was lost sight of in the
furore to pass the bill putting the in
spection of all meats save those for use
in the State where they are packed, un-
der Federal jurisdiction, The result
was, fierce row at home, the destruc-
tion for time of the meat market, and
the damaging Of our meat market in
Great Britain, which was the best of all
markets for us. This is well illustrated
in the showing of canned beef exported
to Great Britain for the first nine
months of the years named; these ex-
ports having been $2,255, $50 in 1904,
then S2.9o9,72s in 1905, and but ST $50,
765 in 1906, falling off of sl,069,963
in the item upon which the principal
raid was made. In other items there
was a substantial increase. And in view
of tue unanimous testimony of the Eng
lish inspectors, dealers, and consumers,
to the superior quality of the American
canned beef, we may reasonably expect
to see the American packers reinstate
themselves in the British markets, and
recapture that million dollars worth of
lost trade-lost for no reason whatever
that had anything to do with the quail
ity or the condition of the canned beef
