ed to approve the action OF the sen.
ate in refusing to expel him because
he is a Mormon.
An exchange expresses an ouinion
with which our views coincide, as fol.
lows:
1T is all well enough for those of
us who are not senators to say that
"a man should be expelled from the
senate. II is all right for us to sign
petitions to have one expelled, but
with senator 1t is different. His
oath on taking his seat swears him
to uphold the constitution of the Uni
ted States and the constitution for
bids any discrimination against
man because of his religion. No sena-
tor could vote to expel senator
because of his religion, without vio-
laiing his oath of office Many sena.
tors refused to violate their oaths,
so the seator from Utah holds his
seat
The senate is the sole Judge of
the election and qualifications of its
members. and 1t could have refused
to have admitted Smoot. IL has the
right to othat Once admitted, he
could not be expelled without cause,
and there was no charge that Smoot
had done anything wrong or improp-
or after becoming senator. There.
fore, to eXpel him was a serious mat
ter, because If we once agree that
Il member can be expelled for his re-
ligion, we get on dangerous ground.
There was once an ianti-Masonic
that stirred the whole
country. and there was actually a
proposition to prevent any Mason
from becoming a senator or con
gresham. The charge was that 4
Mason took an oath that held his al.
legiance above his allegiance to his
country. That is not true, but it was
asserted boldly.
There has been several movements
against catholics that have ebhcd
and flowed over the nation on the
charge that Catholics owe some allie
glance to n foreign power. This. too,
was untrue. but men asserted it.
Mankind has a way of getting eX-
cited at times and when excited they
do wild things, and good people go
to excess. The four corners of the
constitution have inside them some
good rules to sustain us when we get
too wild. The Smoot case is a good ex
ample of II. The man was not charg.
ed with any wrong of any kind. but
thousands of good people allowed
themselves to be worked into great
excitement and signed petitions to
have him expelled because other
men in Utah have done wrong. This
excitement was 40 strong that it

that they all had been bothered con-
