SMOOT AS SMOOTH.
ton

We find the following editorial para
graph, explanatory of Snoot s tactics
in the Senate to gain favor for himself,
in the Springfield (Mass) Republican,;
1t might be called a fortunate slip OF
the types which made Senator Smoot ap-
pear as Senator Smooth in yesterdays
Washington news. In the days when his
seat In the Senate was still being con-
tested because OF his membership in the
Mormon church. Smoot painstakingly in
sratiated himself With his fellow mem.
speeches. There might be the smallest
imaginable audience on the Senate floor,
but Smoot WAS always there, where the
speaker could see him. doing his best to
look interested. Since then. under the
tutorship OF Aldrich one of whose leu
tenants Smoot became, the Utah Senator
conservative wing-but his doings have
never made much noise. nor has he In
tended that they should.
Sure enough, the smoothness of Smoot
is made conspicuous by that showing;
and it is good to know that SOME peo-
pie at least in the country at large un-
derstand, as we IN Utah do, the appeal
ing methods that Smoot employed to
ingratiate himself with Senators when
his case was pending before them.
In one particular, however, our
Springfield contemporary has made a
slip, where it implies that Smoot g seat
In the Senate was contested because
of his membership in the Mormon
church. - That was never a ground
of contention against Smoot, or any
other member of Congress from Utah.
We have had many Mormons in the
House with no contest against them,
save only in the case Of Roberts, who
was rejected by the House, not because
of his membership IN the Mormon
church, but because he was in fact a
polygamist There have been Mormons
and assistant Mormons In the Senate
also, and not one word Of protest was
raised against them. The protest against
Smoot was, in effect, not that he was a
member of the Mormon church, but that
he is a representative, not of the peo.
pie Of Utah, but of the hierarchy Of
the Mormon church, owing an allegiance
to the temporal power of that church
higher than the allegiance which he
bears to the State in its civic capacity,
or to the United States The protest
against Smoot set forth very clearly
and definitely the grounds on which
objection was made to his taking his
seat. In no part of that protest was
the mere fact of his being a Mormon
set forth as any objection.

this effort the University has absolute
y missed the point of the discussion.
What economists, financial men, and
newspapers have been discussing, is the
great rise in prices of the necessities
of life. and the cause thereof, with
possible remedy. if remedy can be
found This rise in prices has occurred
within recent years; it has been gradual
now for something over decade. 1t
amounts 10 nothing III this discussion to
assail women as reckless spcnders OF
money, as persons who do not know the
value Of money, and cannot spend II
iudiciously. If this is a failing of
women ar all. II is q failing that must
have existed in period of low prices
to greater extent than it prevails now.
If women do not know how TO spend
money now they did not know how TO
spend il fifteen years ago. The prob
ability is, ms matter or fact, that
women are on the average better ana
closer spenders of money than are the
men. This. we think. will be borne ont
by the common experience of every one
convcrsant with household expenses and
economies The husband. as a rule, will
pay more for any given article than the
wife Will. and If the husband runs the
house for month the expenses will
rise far above the standard of cost set
when tha wife is in charge.
All that, however, has nothing to do
with the chief question that is com
monty discussed; and to bring this ac.
cusation against women as a cause for
prevailing high prices is so illogical and
fantastic as to stigmatize the one guilty
of it as trifling with the whole ques-
ton

BRYAN'S CATECHlSM.

Mr. Bryan, who seems to be more of
a plague to the Democratic party than
to Republicans, has got out sort of
catechism which he insists should be
put to every candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency.
He says there are fifty possible candi-
dates, and that each one Of them should
answer in a way to please Mr., Bryan
the following questions:
Do you favor a tariff for revenue only?
Do you favor free raw material and the
| placing OF a revenue duty on only manu-
factured goods?
Do you believe that In the revision OF
the tariff the element Of protection should
| be given considerations
Do you believe the three branches OF
| the Government ordinate and that
each should keep within It's consttu-
| tional sphere?
Do you approve OF the recent Standard
OIL decision wherein the Supreme Court
'1egislated'' the word unreasonable" into
| the Sherman antitrust law?
| Do you favor the repeal OF the criminal
clause OF the antitrust law or believe
Congress should make 1T clear that all
| restraint OF trade Is unreasonable?
Do you favor popular election OF sena-
| tors?
Do you favor the income taxi
| Do you believe II Is the duty OF the
ately and give it to them In the same
way 1t was given to the cubans?
Do you believe In publicity OF campaign
contributions?
Are you willing that the source OF
every dollar of the campaign fund. either
before or after nomination: shall be made
Do you favor support of State govern
ments In all their rights?
Do you indorse the labor planks OF
ott.iG ttutf nf 40 ho
fAldrich currency scheme. asset currency
| IN any form, establishment OF central
bank and law compelling banks to In
| sure depositors?
1t is searching, almost an incen-
diary list 1t is well calculated to kill
off candidates and to leave Mr.. Bryan
who has not himself formally and spe
cifically answered these questions, in {
position of marked advantage ss com
pared with other candidates.
1t is noteworthy that Mr.. Bryan
eliminates Governor Harmon Of Ohio
as a possible candidate for the nomina
tion by the Democratic party. Accord
ingly, he is not asked to answer thai
catechism, This may be decided ad
vantage to Governor Harmon later on
if Mr.. Bryan can worm out of the Other
possible candidates the answers which
he would like to get to his catechism
AS means Of killing off candidates
nothing more ingenious and deadly thar
this catechism of Mr.. Bryan's coulc
possibly be framed. The candidate whc
would categorically and candidly an
swer every one of those question:
might Just as we'll write above his sig
nature his unalterable decision tt

THERE WE'RE TWO JACKPoTs.

In the accounts of the corrupt tran,
sactions attending the election of a
Senator in Illinois to succeed Senator
Albert j Hopkins, there have been con-
stant references to the ''jackpot" "
which is supposed TO have furnished
the steam to "put Lorimer over. "
From later accounts, and especially
from the testimony Of Mr.. James Kse-
ley, general manager of the Chicago
Tribune, there was not only a Lori
mer "jackpot. but also a Hopkins
Jackpot, each of which, it appears,
was ready to supply the sinews of wal
to put its respective candidate Cover, -
1t must indeed have been an exhila-
rating spectacle to see the race of those
two 'Jackpots" for the goal of success
Each was ready to do whatever was
necessary for the success of the candi-
date IN whose interest it was raised
and it appears that both were decidedly
In the running.
But the Lorimer "jackpot got there
first, and put its candidate Cover"
II is an utterly disgraceful revelation
of the degradation Of Illinois politics
Hopkins, in his testimony, clearly con
veyed the impression that there was
nothing in the way of bribery in hi:
campaign, no Jackpot connected
with it. He virtuously rejected all cor
ruptlon, according to his story
saying that he "was a candidate fol
the Senate not for the penitentiary.
But he had constantly replenishec
barrel of apples and successive boxes
of cigars at his headquarters that were
open and free to his friends. That, tt

thing like the oldfashioned pass was

CENTER OF POPULATION.

The center Of population in the
United States has almost from the first
followed a line constantly working
westward, but which has varied little
north and south, since the first census
was taken, This shows that the coun-
try has had an even growth as between
the different sections with the uniform
progress westward, the filling up of
the West having its constant effect in
moving the center Of population in that
direction,

where the center Of population rests,
