Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the hill of life,
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, braver for the strife,
DO you count them only trifles?
What to earth are sun and rain,
Never was kind word wasted,
Never was one said in vain.
So. rs up life's hill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words, for they are sunshine
In the dark and gloomy day.
Grudge no loving word or action,
AS along thru life we so,
There are weary ones around you,
Ifyou love them, tell them so
Altho the Editor does not like
to print so much about the weather
but we are having some funny
weather.

Now is passing by,
Million little heecy flakes
Failing from the sky.
Boys and girls are in the school house,
Drawing on their states
Pictures of the coasting place,
And thinking of their skates.
Three O'Clock, Four O'Clock,
Bangl goes tho bell,
Get on your hats, cloaks and wraps
Hurry of pell-mell.
Bring along the coasters all
Ifyou want some fun,
Up to the hilltop
jump and slide and run.
Steady now, ready now,
Each IS in his place,
Here we go, there We go,
Down the icy race,
Sing song OF snow time
When the flakes fall,
Coast time, skate time
Best time OF all.

THE PoLYeAMY ISSUE.

Senator Kittredge voted against al
lowing Reed Smoot, the Mormon apos-
tie, to retain his seat in the United
States senate, and no man, either
writer or legislator, has more clearly
defined the issue than has Senator
Kittredge in the explanation of his
vote on this subject. 1t is not a ques-
ton of church relationship, as Mr..
Kittredge pointed out, nor one of form
or manner of worship, BUT 1T is A
QUESTION OF POLYGAMY.
Briefly stated, the Mormon church
cried out for quarter during that per-
iod when the western jaiis and peni-
tentiaries were filed with Mormon
polygamists. The federal government
offered to yield provided Utah would
become a state upon the specific con-
stitutional pledge to abolish polygamy
forever. The church itself, to show
its good faith, issued manifesto"
to this eftccr Uti.h was admitted to
statehood-and the federal laws were
NJ longer applicable to polygamy.
No sooner has this been accomplish
ed than the Mormon elders and apos-
ties returned to their polygamous
practices. In the course OF time Utah
elected q polygamist to the lower
house Of congress, but that body re-
jected him. u en- the church select

AS A NATIONAL LEGISLATOR

That Senator Kittredge's course as
q national legislator is in keeping with
the policies of the present national
administration is no cause for wonder
on the part of those who are best ac-
quainted with him-indeed, 1t would
be q source of amazement were his
course otherwise. From the beginning
of his legislative career he has shown
that his sympathies are with the peo-
pie. In the session of the South Da-
kota senate in 1890, he supported the
bill providing for declaring combina-
tons, contrivances, agreements and
trusts in restraint of trade unlawful
and imposing heavy penalties for
violations of the Terms of the law. At
the same session he also supported
bill compelling railway companies to
pay double damages for property de-
stroyed through negligence on the
part of their employees, IL not settled
within sixty days from the date of de-
mand.
During the sixcyears that he has oc-
cupied seat in the United States SEN
ate, Mr.. Kittredge has supporter
every material provision championed
by the advocates of genuine reform
aimed to give the federal government
adequate control over corporations.
Among the more important pieces
of legislation that bear his imprint
are the following: The railroad rate
law; the oleomargine act; the pure
food act; the act of February IL
(1903) providing for expediting the
disposition of antitrust cases In the
federal courts; the establishment of
The department of commerce and la
Dor, and the reduction Of the cost Of
