OPPOSES REED SHOOT.
Senator Berry Would Exclude Utah
 Mormon From Senate.


 Mormon From Senate.
 Washington, Feb. 11.--Senator Berry. of Arkansas, addressed the Senate to- day if opposition to Senator Reed Shoots retention of his seat.
 Tn taking this position. MT. Berry disclaimed any personal feeling against Mfr Snioot. He had served in commit fet with him for four years with mose pleasing relations. Ire also dis claimed any political or religious preju- dices which might contribute to his op- position.
 Mir Berry confined his argument pri- mnrily to a discussion of the consti- tutional power of the Senate to expel Mir. Shoot, holding that any senator could be '.excluded" by a majority vote Of the members of the body.
 Mir. Berrys opposition to Mir Shoot was based on the doctrine of polygamy, which he said was advocated by the Mormon church. It was true that Mir. Shoot was not, nor ever had been, a pol5 gamist. but Mir. Shoot had admit ted. he said, that revelations to the early leaders of the church not only permitted, but commanded polygamy.
 Mir. Smoot also had said he believed thar members of the Mormon church did receive revelations from God and that if such revelation should come to him (Smoot). which was in conflict with the oath he had taken as a Sena- tor. he would leave the country before he would obey the senatorial oath and the constitution of his country. Mir. Berry gave the history of the Mountain Meadow massacre in which large band of emigrants bound from Arkansas to California had lost their lives in Utah. This massacre. he sad. was committed by Mormons and fn- dians at tho direct command Of Mormon church leaders. This massacre occur red before Senator Shoot was born and Mir. Berry said he held him in no way responsible for it. but. he continued, MT. Shoot has said. sThe church IS tho same for all time"
 Mir. Berry said he objected to such church dictating in politics and he insisted that the Senate ought to re- feet any Representative sent to the Sem ate bx if. vote for Senator Smoot he said. In conclusion. would be ar impetus and an encouragement to the Mormonf church and to polygamy.

WOULD RESTORE AGENCIES.
Senate Committee Thinks There N To'
 Much Pension Work.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The eighteen pension agencies in the country which the House abolished In favor of the concentration of the disbursement of all pension expenditures In Washing ton will be rehabilitated If the action of the Senate committee on pensions Is sustained.
 The Senate committee today decided to recommend the amendment of the pension bill so as to restore all the agencies and to make provisions for their further support.
 The committee also decided to re- commend an additional appropriation of Ss. s.000.G0e for the Increased expendi- ture made necessary by the passage of the service pension bill.
 The action on the service pension question had much to do with the change regarding agencies, as 1t was the opinion of the members of .he committee that the increased labor made necessary by the new legisla- tion would render 1t impracticable to do all the work in one office.
 With these amendments, Senator Me- Cumber was authorized to report the appropriation bill favorably.

A LABORING MANS VIEW
OF THE RECENT PRIMARY

Pensacola, Fla, May ), 1907.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
viii you kindly allow me a little
space in your valuable paper, even
though l dare comment on your edi-
tOrial, in tOday's issue. AS you say
the mayors victory was not the re-
suit of any personal popularity He
just happened to be the standard
bearer of the poor, nO-accOunt labor
ing man, and organized labor at that.
The other gentleman represented the
monied element, or those that would
rather send off to get labOrers or me-
Chanics, than to hire home men, be-
cause they are organized. OF course,
even If they manage to induce a union
man tby buying or OtherWiSe) 10 go
on the stand, and expel some hot air
N their behalf, the majority can see
through their schemes, and the cleo
ton returns Will show up accordingly.
The results of this election show
that the labOring man has found out
that the proper place to guard his
own interest is at the ballot box. 1t
also shows that money has ceased to
be the ruling power at elections:
The lesson or moral of 1t all should
be: Remember that the organized
laborers and mechanics are also citi-
Zens; give them Justice where moth
ing else is demanded, and when cleo
ton comes around, they will support
you.
Trusting your waste basket is out
of commission, l beg TO remain, yours,

succeed for a time; but when storms
of stress come and it is put in the
crucial test, the people find out, and
once found out its influence for good
is gone. 1t is best, therefore, for a
newspaper to be honest with itself
and honest with the public at all
times. If its constituency can not
agree with it, they will respect
frankness and come to know it even
better than it knows itself. Bryan
and Roosevelt are types of public men
the public has come to know and to
understand. If all men do not agree
with them, they never stop to ques-
ton their honesty.
A newspaper that strives to emu
late the example of those two men
in taking the public into their conf
dence, will at least have their honesty
above suspicion, whatever their error
of judgment, which the public is al
ways willing to forgive, but, never a
want of honesty.
This is exactly The Journals idea
of Journalism. 1t does not pay a
public man to try to fool the people;
neither does it pay a newspaper. 1t
always pays a public man TO take the
people into his confidence; so does it
pay a newspaper.
What the public desires in news
paper is independence and fearless
ness, and disposition on the part of
that paper TO take the public into its
confidence The public may not al
ways agree with such a paper, but
IL does always respect it.
