Senator Smoot Wins.

As was expected and freely predicted
Senator Reed Shoots title TO his seat IN
the Senate Of the United States has been
confirmed by that body. and that cause
ceIebre is now res judiCata. BY a sub
stantiaI and decisive majority. the Senator
won his case the division not being alto
gether along party lines. and the Senate's
emphatic and deliberate decision not TO
disturb him has been duly registered.
We have no doubt the Senate's decision
will be approved by a majority of the
American people. The night on Smoot was
ill-advised. and failed to impress the peo-
pie with a sense Of the Senator's I'M
worthiness. Throughout it all Mr. Smoot
maintained a dgnihed calm and we'll
bred reserve. When. at last, he did raise
his voice in his own behalf, he delivered
a very frank, manly, and simple state
ment, completely refuting all Of the harsh
and damaging allegations fled against his
personal integrity and his political and re-
ligiOus sincerity and faith. His statement
was convincing Perhaps more so than
any evidence submitted. He declares him
self to be no polygamist, but heartily
opposed to it, and as strongly favOring the
punishment Of those guilty of the crime.
Mr. SmOot defends his religion. but he
shows how the Mormon Church has bowed
to the law of the land and has steadily
sought with astonishing success, 10 up
root polygamy since the manifesto of 1890
At the time of this PRONUNCIATION there
were 2,451 polygamous households in the
church Now there are not over 500. In
conclusion. Mr.. Smoot gives utterance to
the following striking words: Il have
never taken any oath or obligation, re-
Iigious or otherwise, which conflicts in the
slightest degree with my duty as citizen
OF a Senator. l owe no allegiance 20 any
church or organization which in any way
interferes with my supreme allegiance in
civil affairs to my country-an allegiance
which I freely. fully. and gladly give"
There is no evidence before the country
that successfully contradicts the Senator'S
statement. With the failure of the prose-
cution TO break down the mans personal
character or his legal and civic fitness
for the position Of United States Senator
the entire case goes out of court, save the
one count in the indictment which seeks
70 prescribe him because of his religion
With that the Senate has nothing to do.
and rightly declined TO assume any juris-
diction over it. His freedom in religious
opinion is a right guaranteed by the Con-
stitution itself. and it is right vouch-
safed TO every man, no matter what his
creed. As TO the question of polygamy
per Sc, Congress made abundant and
epoch-making answer to that in the case
OF Brigham II. Roberts.

SMALLER NEWSPAPERS.
Reading Public Getting Tired of Inn
meuse Sunday Issues.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Nobody can predict positively what the
newspaper of the future will be. al
though some gentlemen who never were
in the newspaper business are prepared to
tell us all about it in the 10-cent maya
zines.
One thing, however, may safely be pre-
dicted by anybody, and that is that the
newspaper Of the future will not be any
bigger than the newspaper of the present.
The limit of size IN ratio TO cost OF white
paper has been reached by some journals
which even now are either losing money
on every paper they sell or else keeping
even by the narrOwest of margins. Even
with heavy advertising patronage it is
clear that increasing size under such cir
.cumstances would be to commit financial
suicide.
Other considerations make for a reduc-
ton rather than an increase in the size of
newspapers. The most important one is
that the reading public is becoming tired
of the great bulk of some daily editions
and Of most Sunday issues. It is impossi-
bic that such masses of printed matter
should be read. They become wearisome
and inspire the desire for less bulk and
more cOgency.
The public pretty generally gets what it
wants. and that will prove as true Of
newspapers as of political candidates.
There Is growing sentiment for smaller
and more compact newspapers, and when
that demand eliminates the publishers

HONESTY IN LAWMAKING.
The Representatives of the People
should Not Be Mere AutOmatOns.

From The 81. Louis Republic.
There is told AT the Missouri capital q
story of legislator who expressed regret
that he could not support a pleader be
fore one of his committees The legisla-
tor agreed that the statement of fact, as
offered by the gentlemen chiefly inter
ested, was convincing, and. as he was
led 20 think, absolutely worthy of belief
Under the argument and presentation Of
the subject in detail. it became fairly
clear 10 the legislator that he was wrong
in his first view. Yet he saw no way Of
voting as he believed for the reason that
his people back home would not ap-
plaud him for it,
He was wrong of course. wrong both
ways. First of all. he should have voted
as the truth appeared to him, whatever
the folks back home may have thought
Of the matter. Further than that. he
was wrong in his assumption that his
constituency would chastise him for vOt-
ing as his light led. II the state Of facts
warranted a change in the legislative
view. it would have warranted. with
equal force. a change in the view Of the
representative following in his home
county. Yet this man, well convinced
that he was wrong in principle. preferred
TO vote as his constituents thought at
the time he left them.
He was derelct in duty, not only the
duty he owed TO himself. but that owed
20 the men who sent him TO jefferson City

Speaker Cannon has an unconventional
way Of dealing with matters coming be-
fore the House of Representatives, espe-
ciany by unanimous consent, that is at
once the admiration and despair of parlia-
mentarians. This is demonstrated more
frequently toward the close of a session
Of Congress. when the demands for recog-
milton are more frequent than at other
times. Yesterday Mr.. Lamar. of Florida,
asked to call up a certain bill. and Mr.
Garrett, of Tennessee, wanted TO know
all about IT,
Mr.. Mann, of Illinois, do not under
stand. Mr.. Speaker, that a request for
unanimous consent is debatable.
The Speaker Gndulgently)-Oh, well. this
is only a little bit of play, as usual, to see
If he's going to get it.
A little later. Mr.. stephens, OF Texas,
called up a resolution requesting the Sec
rotary of the Interior to furnish informal
ton respecting certain lands in New
Mexico which the Santa Fe Railroad
Company and some mining prospectOrs
are claiming He got mixed over two
different forms, one containing a pre-
amble. the other without. The former
was first agreed To. when Mr. Lacey, Of
Iowa chairman of the Committee on Pub
lie Lands. suggested that the preamble
had been stricken out.
VERY we'll" said the Speaker; the
Chair will try again
Then IT appeared that the wrong reso-
luton had been considered, and Mr.. Ste
phens tried again.
Which one of the children is this?'
querled the Speaker
Being assured that this was the proper
and legitimate one. he had the proceed
ings with reference to the other vacated,
and the last one passed.

Texas Idea Of Tariff Revision.

On the same day that President Roose-
velts reply to the Massachusetts tariff
memorial was made public Mr.. Gillespie,
of Texas, presented in the House a con-
current resolution adopted by the legis-
latuTc of his State, requesting Congress
TO enact such laws as will enable the
Federal government 10 enter into trade
arrangements with such foreign nations
as viii afford the best possible markets
for live stock and its products and farm
products of this country, and expressing
entire confidence in the President Of the
United States relative thereto" To this
end the resolutions ask that the President
be empowered to make such concessions
and notifications in the tariff schedules
as may be necessary TO secure favorable
trade relations with foreign countries, and
go on to explain that the law fixing
these schedules may be safely modified
50 as to afford a consideration for MAX
ing such trade agreements with foreign
nations without any injury to the just
rights of the Industries of this country
which are entitled TO protection
Mr. Gillespie was not unnatuTally stag
gered by these sentiments Of the unterri-
led Texas Democracy as expressed by the
legislature Of that sovereign State. He
could not refrain from pointing out 10
the House that the Texas resolutions
meant two things: That the Lone Star
legislators believe there are certain in
dustries which are entitled TO protection.
and that the President ought to be given
power 10 revise the tariff through trade
agreements. We observe that Mr.. Giles
pie did not take issue with the first of
these propositions, for a reason which
is not far 20 seek. The Texas cattle
growers, as the American Economist re-
marks. are nine-tenths free traders on
general principles, but protectionists
where. cattle hides. and wool are in
volved. So are the Texas rice growers
so far as rice is concerned. None Of
them wants 70 meet competition with
Mexican or Argentine cattle or with Philip
pine rice But they wouldn't mind hav-
ing the tariff lifted from articles pro-
duced outside the State of Texas. If that
would open a foreign market for their
meats. That is the Texas tariff idea.
To do him justice. Mr.. Gillespie is not
q convert to this idea. He thinks the
confidence OF the Texas legislators in the
President as a tariff reviser is misplaced
and that the only hope of the revisionists
lies not in trade agreements, but in a
general charge all along the line for
juster and lower tariff rates. It may be
true" he continues that the principle
of protection is so imbedded in our policy
as that It cannot be overthrow, but
there is such a thing as greater justice
and equity in protection, which is being
demanded now all over the country"
With which we fully agree. But that
greater Justice and equity can no more be
obtained by granting special tariff re-
auctions TO favored interests than ii can
be by maintaining or increasing sched-
ules for the benefit of other favored in
terests

ity is about as reprehensible in the one
case as III the other

them. no doubt. honestly believed the
false charge that he was polygamist-
For the past year or more they have bonn
barded the Senate with memorials against
Slnoot, and literally millions of them
subscribed their names to the petitions
circulated all over the country asking the
Senate to take action against Mr.. Smoot.
We doubt that their representations and
arguments had the slightest effect upon
the mind Of any Senator. II Senators
considered their representations at all
they doubtless took into the account the
interesting TACT that in Utah, where
female suffrage prevails. the women could
have prevented the election Of SmoOt to
the Senate had they thought him unit
or unworthy to serve the State. Ihe
same statement can be made as 10 Idaho,
for there, too. the women vote, and In the
last campaign Senator Dubois, the most
uncompromising opponent Of Mormonism
in public Iife made his campaign for re-
election squarely on that issue and was
defeated.
None of the States which have granted
the franchise TO women has adopted pro-
hibition In point Of fact that age-long
issue is not factor in the politics of any
OF them.

as these that women are no more con-

An Onnortunity for You1h.

In response TO the inquiry of some
what superior boy of sixteen. who is now
engaged as a bicycle messenger, and dis
satisfied with both his environment and
his remuneration, We might. but do
not, offer the always obvious suggestion
that if he doesn't like his job he ought
TO throw it up.
As it happens. this does not wholly meet
the situation. The youth in question is
intelligent. ambitious. and deserving. He
is not sidestepping an arduOus ocCupa-
ton because of his unwillingness TO meet
its legitimate demands, on the contrary,
he is willing and able TO discharge the
duties. but cannot see ahead of him the
smallest promise of promotion. His as
pirations are great and urgent. He does
not wish to waste his time
This boy appeals TO US We believe in
him. Thus we feel moved TO offer him a
word Of counsel and advice. 1t has long
been borne in upon Us that the messenger
service Of this town could be improved.
The messengers themselves mean we'll no
doubt but their standards are defective
Too many of them present a slovenly and
repellinE appearance. Their manners are
bad; their hands and faces are in fragrant
need of cleansing. They offend those with
whom they come in contact by rude ad-
dress. offensive behavior, and impudent
approach. They are frequently shabby,
and the condition Of their ears and finger
nails leaves much 20 be desired This is
not. perhaps. the rule, but 1t is true Of so
many of them that we feel justified in
advising our correspondent 10 look for
promotion through policy Of avoidance.
We assert with confidence that the mes
senger boy who presents a neat and de-
cent appearance on all occasions; who
addresses his customers with courtesy
and good nature; who exhibits a DISPOSE
ton 10 polite assiduity; who convinces
others that he is intelligent, well bred,
and well disposed-we insist, we say, that
such messenger vii, make potent
friends. surround himself with affection
ate solicitude. and blaze the way TO opu-
lent promotion.
It makes very little difference as regards
the point of departure The youth.
whether he sets out from the pIow-
share or the Stun, has all the opportuni-
ties at his disposal But politeness,
courtesy, good manners, and gentlemanly
address are the keys to friendship, help,
and kindly interest all the world over.

Woman as a PoIitieal Eaetor.

Just what influence is exerted by woman,
always lovely and sometimes enthu-

Women DANGEROUSLY demanded the closing

Let shin Subsidy wait. Too.

We submit that the closing days of a
session crowded with other business of
immensely greater Importance is not
the proper time for the passage of such
a measure as the ship-subsidy bill. The
appropriation bills, already threatening
10 swamp the revenues of the govern
ment in ill-considered though possibly
necessary expenditures, demand almost
every moment of the time of both Houses.
To attempt 10 rush through such a
measure as the ship-subsidy bill, en-
bodying a radical change in our govern
mental policies, without adequate dis
cUssion OF consideration would be a mock
cry of deliberative legislation.
If tariff revision must wait. if many
other matters of consequence to the body
polite must also wait. let the ship-sUb-
sidy bill go over. too, and take its
chances in the Sixtieth Congress. It is
not a measure to be hastily considered
and hastily passed, as if it were d Suspi-
Cious piece Of jobbery.

BAD PRECEDENT AVOIDED.

Let the government take into court one
of the great railroad systems that has
recently "cut a melon" and seek 10 set
aside the new stock issue as Illegal be-
cause it tends to lay tax on interstate
commerce. 1t would then be incumbent
on the corporation TO prove that the pro-
ceeds of the new issue were adequate, and
that they were used solely for better
ments. The railroad would be obliged to
justify it's action or suffer the cancella-
