blazed the way for this sort of

SMOOT WILL REMAIN,

The Senate Committee before which
Senator Reed Shoots case has been
| has voted against any action to GUST
him from his seat and this after four
years of alleged investigation of the
subject, but of actual and intentional
humbug of the people! It is claimed
that the majority of senators believe
that Senator Smoot is entitled to a
seat because no pOlygamous act has
been proven against him. The law
defying and contract-breaking charac-
ter Of the hierarchy which he serves
has been tested and the control of
that organization over it's members
and especially it's officials has been
proven.
The whole situation, in a nutshell,
is tnat Mr.. Smoot is a Republican and
the Senate is Republican. The Nor
mon church controls a big bunch of
votes in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and
other states which the Republican
party would dearly love to own at pre-
sent and to all appearances must have
In the near future in order to retain
its supremacy AS has been forseen
for years by discerning Prohibition
lists and others, the time has come
when the Republican party deliberate
ly eats it's own words of denunciation
OF polygamy, "the twin relic of bar
barism", slavery being the other. AS
always when driven to a corner, the
Republican majority in the Senate will
find constitutional grounds for it's
position and will continue to vocifer.
ate its opposition to polygamy and
all that, but the fact is that Smoot
remains and two years from now
when his term expires he will be re-
elected amid the tee-hees of the Nor
mons.
1t didn't take long, when the people
of Utah elected Democratic Mormon
to Congress- for the House to fire him
bodily. A Mormon Democrat is bad

! ly is that there are many who are not
willing as yet to give their ballot to
| the head of the ticket of the new
parties but, desiring to show some
sympathy with it, put their X opposite
the second name. When the next Of

cession, which continues to grow to
the foot of the ticket. This year vio-
lated almost all precedent, Mr.. Tokens
gard, candidate for lieut.. gov. and Mr.
Hendricks, sec. of state, polling ex-
actly the same number of votes, if the
canvassing board are good at figures.
Mr.. Hendricks failed to pass Mr..
Lokensgaard probably because of the
prominence and popularity of the lat
ter. The equality in their vote was
probably also due in part to Mr..
LOkensgaard's nationality, indicated
by his name, while Mr.. Hendricks ma
tionality, although he is also a Scan
dlnavian, is not indicated by the form
OF his name. According to the rule
Mr.. Heiberg's vote would be expected
to lead the ticket, his name being at
the foot of the Prohibition column.
But between his name and that of Mr..
Hendricks, the Prohibition candidate
next above it, there were the nomin-
ees of the other parties for auditor,
treasurer, attorney general, chief
justice of the supreme court, and
clerk of the supreme court, and many,

ROOSEVELT CALLS THEM FOOLS.

the legislature, as well as sheriff
Bonde of Kandiyohi county, have re-

they are in position to aid or to injure
These four officials, however, returned
the favors for obvious reasons. The

a form of bribery and should be pro-

CAN USE 1T IN OUR BUSINESS.

Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury, seems to be smitten with
awe, if not grief, in the presence of
the avalanche of prosperity which he
now sees engulfing the nation and
hurrying it to destruction. At a re-
cent Washington banquet he said
I'VE who pray ought to ask God to
save us from any increasing prosper
ity; we have all we can stand" Evid-
emily Mr.. Shaw's rent is paid to date
The New York Sun ventures to amend
his words as follows: Instead of
having all the prosperity we can stand,
some of us have more than others
can stand" The masses of the people
seem to be more impressed with this
idea than frightened with that of the
Secretary of the Treasury.

PREVENTION BETTER THAN
CURE,

Application was made to the State
Board of Pardons at it's last quarterly
meeting in behalf of VIM. H. Dear.
born, who was sentenced from Hen
nepin county last year for six months
for grand larceny in the second de-
gree. His father was the chief en-
gineer of the city of New York, while
his grandfather was General Dear
born, founder of the city of Chicago.
Drink has been the bane of his life.
He changed his name because of his
unwillingness to bring disgrace on his
family which has been so famous in
the history of the country. The ap-
plication was denied, Justice Start ex-
pressing the feeling of the Board,
when he said, ut would be foolish to
turn the young man out at this time
OF the year. His first thought would
be to get out of the cold and into a
saloon" To man up a tree it
looks as though the state needed two
things among others: first, the aboli-
ton of the saloon and second, an ef-
fective organization and temporary
home for those recently released from
penal institutions.
