KEPT IN.

One of the most ridiculous phases Of
the Smith effort to protect Smoot by
the dismissal OF Taylor and Cowley
polygumists, is shown by the following
facts; Taylor and Cowley gave no EVIL
dence at Washington. They did not
ing that they had right TO live in de-
flance of the laws of God and man.
They did not insult the womankind of
the Nation by boasting that they were
living In a saturnalia OF marriage"
God forgive the insult to the wordD;
and yet Taylor and Cowley are dis
missed
But Joseph F.. Smith and Charles w
Penrose are retained. These are the
men, the infamy of whose testimony
sent thrill Of horror throughout the
Senate and the Nation.
When Reed Smoot attempts to claim
a retention OF his seat IN the Senate
on the ground that Taylor and Cowley
have been expelled. or have resigned"
he should be met by the statement:
1--WE do not know very much Of Tay-
lor and Cowley. although 1t is true
they were proved to be polygamists by
the testimony of others. But we do
know Joseph F. Smith and Charles w.
Penrose, who are proved by their own
testimony to be rampant and rampa-
geous polygamists, and you have kept
them in the hierarchy"

Way to Settle Strike

John Mitchell and associates represent
Ing the workers have conducted the ne
gotiations thus far in a manner that
would do credit to national diplomatists.
Ihey nave evidently appreciated that the
anthracite miners were at a disadyan-
tage In this contest first, because the
companies and accumulated q large uuan-
uty OF coal. and, secondly because the
DEMANDS OF the mon are but imperfectly
understood by the public and the general
sympathy extended TO the strikers three
years ago does not now exist
The public knows that the strike OF 1909
was settled by the arbitration OF a com
mission and the men resumed work under
an agreement which expired on the last
day OF March 1t knows also that Mr.
Mltchel and the other representatives OF

expiration of the old one and to run one

derstood by one reader In n thousand but
everybody grasped these salient points

pensation and the companies to act as
agents OF the unions In collecting from

OF the employers and as many representa-
Hves OF the miners, with an umpire when
ever necessary; that no new facts had
arisen since the last settlement, and
therefore the existing conditions should
continue.
The operators concluded with a Dropo-
sition that the awards Of the strike com

II this is accepted by the operators
The operators stand so unnlterably for
the open shop that they will decline to
submit this to arbitration. and the miners
should withdraw II. Questions of wages
and hours OF labor, which. after all. are
the essential ones, may well be left to
arbitration, and. remembering how much
tho public has at stake. tho employers
should consent to this, The controversy
has assumed a phase that encourages
hope of a speedy resumption OF labor in
the mines-a contamination dovoutly to

A few years ago there lived In Thet-
ford VT, a man by the name of Solon
r. Berry, who was deputy sheriff for
many years. He concluded he would
like to collect the taxes. Accordingly he
supplied himself with ballots and on ar
irving at the meeting he selected man
by the name OF Porter TO help him
Taking Porter to one side he disclosed
his plan to him and, after braclpg Por-
ter up two or three times, from the hip
pocket ne gave him the batch OF bal
lots with Instructions TO distribute them
ut the proper time.
At last the moderator called for bal
lot for collector OF taxes and when the
votes had been counted announced that
Berry had only three votes.
or course Sol" as-he was called, was
disappointed Finding Porter alone In
one corner of the hall In quite con-
tented frame OF mind. he said: This

THE OLD ADAM.

There is another parallel between
John Alexander Dowle and Joseph F..
Smith, the false profits and the false
prophets of their respective churches.
Now that Dowie is in the tolls, he
cries out that his wife is responsible
for his difficulties. He does not say
which wife, but presumably the one
who has been known to the world as
Mrs. Dowie. and the one who charges
that he tried to enforce upon her the
acceptance of polygamy.
1t Will be readily recalled that Jo-
seph F. Smith. like Adam and like
Dowie, laid 1t to the women when he
was in trouble before the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections.
When asked why he continued to vio-
late the law he said: Because nv
wives are like everybody elses wife"
Instead of calling themselves Elijahs.

called Adam-the old Adam

timber can be raised here as well as
not; and It is high time to begin tim
ber-culture policy on an extensive
scale. and with a view to permanence

eral policy, worked up to In practice,
the tree-planting done on Arbor Day
will not have much beneficial effect.
The thing to do is for the State to
take hold of the tree question. plant

assets OF the people. The efforts of Mr.
Clifford Pinchot of the Government
Forestry Bureau to reforest the mount

right direction, and no doubt lmpor-
tant benefits Will come from them In
time. But the State could raise timber
