ROOFING FOR SMooT.

II is understood that a quiet canvass,
so.called, is being made throughout the
State by the hierarchy, in order to OBJ
tain what is called consensus OF opin-
ion Of the brethren and church officials
as to the advisability of returning
APOSTLE Smoot to the United States
Senate on the expiration Of his term.
The Gentiles who still hold with the
bastardizcd Republican party in Utah,
are somewhat anxious with respect to
this so.called canvass. They know the
procedure of the church politicians so
we'll THAT they do not build any par
ticular hopes that this procedure will
eliminate Smoot from the bosship of
Utah politics, nor from his seat in the
Senate.
Smoot, being triumphant and having
overcome the opposition TO his remain
ing in the Senate, is chesty, full of ar
rogance and airy disdain for his op-
ponents, Being backed by the church
and its full vote, Democratic as well
as Republican,, he feels that he has
nothing to fear from any Gentiles who
may still remain and seek prominence
in the church Republican party. lie
feels that everything is his. and that
any opposition to him within church
party lines is unthinkable and will be
absolutely futile, His triumph was
brought about not in the least on the
merits of his case, but through the po.
litical insistence and active co-opsra-
tion of President Roosevelt. Without
/ the President s backing and determined
support, there can be no question but
/ that Smoot would have been ousted
from his seat by vote large enough to
| have met Senator Bailey's idea that cx-
| pulsion should be the proper course in
his case. The President prostitutcd the
powers Of his great Office TO the ser
| vices Of the polygamous and law-break-
/ ing hierarchy; and it was his active in
terposition that saved Smoot There is
not the least question about this, and
there is no occasion whatever for Smoot
to put on the arrogance and chestiness
that he now displays, or to suppose that
his victory vindicated any principle

This authorizes the issue; and it
shows the reluctance OF tho taxpayers
of this city to vote against anything
that those in charge of the public
schools say they need, no matter how
feeble or inconsequent the showing may
be Of that need, and no matter how
bad showing may have been made In
former building contract.
With respect to the latter, there is
point that we wish here 10 put per
nianently on record again, in view of
denial in the aflilavit Of Mr.. Kletting,
with regard to an alleged change made
In the plans Of the Newman school,
Mr.. Kletting said that "the building
was constructed in full compliance
with the building ordinance, and that
the City Building Inspector never or
dered any change That ''the build
ing was constructed in full compll-
ance with the building ordinance is
sure; and it is equally sure that a
change was ordered by the City Build
ing Inspector in order to make IL do
so This we knew at the time and our
recollection of the facts is verified by
a talk with the City Building Inspector,
d. w. Gamble, on Saturday; he is posi-
ave about this recalls the inciden'
clearly, and says that Mr.. Kletting
knew about this order and tho conse-
quent change when they were made.
Another thing: Mr.. Hammond, a
oH n
the Smott "mouth' as saying: 1.-The
present enrolment is 1854. and the
average daily attendance is 1874,
which facts the writer in question on
The Tribune knew when he wrote
this morning that the average attend
ance is only l2,000,' etc. II Mr. Ham
mond said that it would be interesting
to know why he said it. The writer
referred 10 certainly did not know
the figures Of the average daily al
tendance now, or he would not have
gone to the trouble of making the
computation he did. Certainly these
figures now stated by Mr.. Hammond
were not given in the board s state
ment, though they should have been;
and since they were omitted, how was
anybody to know them, or be supposed
TO give them with precisionl The point
we were making is not the least weak
encd, anyway, by the figures supplied
extraneously by Mr.. Hammond, fact
of which he of course was well aware,
while pretending TO give something OF
importance while in fact his figures
would make no change i'll the matter
pointed out.
The point, however, illustrates fair-
" and forcibly the strength of The
Tribune s position where 1T claimed
that the board s statement was mislead-
ing and unsatisfactory, The board did
not show that it NEEDED this bond issue;
but the taxpayers rather than be ac-
cused Of hostility TO the schools, voted
the bonds anyway, in the hope that
some lessons of value have been learned
which will prevent recurrence of the
obvious building contract mistakes IN
the mast

WHERE REFoRMERs MISS.

At the time when so much is said
about spelling reform, simplified spell
ing, etc, it is surprising to see how wide"
ly the reformers miss the mark They
select lot of words which they assume
should be logically or philologically
spelled in the way they declare, and
they undertake to make ana)ogies and
correct similarites in sound, derivation,
or etymology.
The fact is, however, that the stumb-
ling block in spelling is not, as rule,
on tho lines supposed by the so'called
reformcrs, 1t is not that anyone fails
to spell "stripped' right when he
should make it, according TO tho now
light, "stript.' It is the ordinary
words that have no analogies in particu-
lar and that are commonly misspclled
on their own account without reference
whatever to any analogous words. For
instance, here is list selected from one
hundred and twenty words noted by
Harvard examiners as frequently mis-
spelled in the papers of applicants for
admission to that uniyorsity;
