USE OF tALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED
Dangerous Drug Giving Way for Safer,
More Reliable Remedy

Hundreds of people in this vicinity
alone have stopped the use Of danger
o'.s calomel when their liver is acting
slowly. and take Dodson's Liver Tone
instead.
Dodson's Liver Tone is always safe
and has none OF the bad after effects
which so often follow the use of Gallo
mel. 1t is pleasant tasting vrgc-
table liquid that starts the liver gently
and surely. and relieves constipation
and biliousness and causes no re3tric-
ton Of habit or diet
Many preparations have sprung up
that initiate the claims made for Dod-
sons Liver Tone. but remember Dod-
sons Liver Tone is the tried and test
ed remedy that has proven such a good
medicine and is so satisfactory to ev-
cry user-is the reason these imita-
tions are on the market.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot hurt
anyone and if it fails to do all that is
claimed for it the Laurens Drug Co.

UP for consideration is utterly baseless.
The Senators have no such relation as
that to the people; never have had, and
never ought to have. They are simply
representatives Of their States, and as
such are entitled TO be in contact with
the people and 10 hear what the people
have to say on any matter that is pro-
posed for legislation.
1t is surprising indeed to see Presi-
dent Wilson, a Democrat, take the po-
sition that Senators ought not to be
approached by the people on matters
that are pending in the Senate. The
right of the people to be heard by petit
tion is Constitutional guarantee; but
if they have this Constitutional right
to be heard by petition, what sense is
there in claiming that the people have
no right to visit Senators personally
and express to them their viewsl No
such right as this is guaranteed to the
people with respect TO any matter be-
fore the L. S. Supreme Court, OF be-
fore any court Tt is not proper for
the people at large to petition courts
as to the disposal Of cases before
them, but as stated, it is the Constitu.
tional right of the people to petition
Senators and Representatives not only
with regard to matters pending in Con-
gress, but with regard to any matter
whatever And since this right of petit
tion is a Constitutional guarantee, how
can the closely connected right Of per
sonal explanation or argument orally
be denied9 The whole proposition is
absurd. It undertakes to create a dis
tinctiop that cannot possibly exist and
that is impossible either in logic, pro-
priety, sense, or practical application,

THE APOSTLES CLAIM.

Apostle Smoot, who is serving mis-
sion in the U, S, Senate incidentally
with his official term, is reported as
resenting the suggestion that he repre-
sents the Mormon church in his mission
in Washington, and as insisting that he
represents all the people of Utah. Theo-
retically, OF course. speaking of the
matter from the Senatorial standpoint,
he is technically right. AS matter
of fact. however, the truth of the busi
ness is that Apostle Smoot was "set
apart by prophecy" for this mission,
and that he obtained the office of Sen
ator as an adjunct to his mission
through the cooperation of his fellow
members of the Quorum of Twelve
Apostles, and by permission of Presi-
dent Joseph F. Smith. This permission
President Smith testified to in his hear
ing in the Smoot case.
The claim, therefore, that Apostle
Smoot makes that he represents all the
people of Utah is true only in a tech
nical sense. As a matter of fact he
does not represent all the people, and
there are many who do not in the least
consider him as representing them, and
have no desire TO have any official
business transacted through his agency
There are great many that he utterly
ignores, and that utterly ignore him in
this capacity, Of course, ne knows this
fully, and he knows the preposterous-
ness OF his assertion that be represents
all the people of Utah. The suggestion
made by Senator Reed as to the leading
character OF Apostle Smoot IS mission
in Washington was fairly justified, de-
cidedly more so than Smoot s claim that
he represents all the people of Utah.
In one matter, of course, Smoot is
entirely right. We refer TO that por-
tion Of his oath given testimony where
he says that his door is open for the
reception of visitors and for confer
ence with any one who chooses to call
This is not only his right. it is the
right OF his callers, and it is the right
OF any member of the Senate. The
claim that there is an insidious lobby
that is approaching the Senate and un-
duly influencing members Of that body
in regard to the Wilson Underwood
tariff bill is as futile as it Is absurd.
The people Of the United States have
perfect right to visit members of the
Senate whether from their own State
or from any other State, and this is
not merely privilege. it is right.
The notion that Senators are or ought
to bc fenced off like judges Of a court,
and that it is wrong to approach them

no objection to that; but the main
thing is that the Federal Government
has nothing to do with land holdings
OF titles in the several States, save only
as these relate to the public domain,
never having been granted any func-
tion with reference thereto, and having
no right to mako treaty stipulations
with respect to that; while as to its
public lands it distinctly requires the
applicant to be a citizen or TO have

NOT PRESS DISPATCHES.


Under the headline ''Dr. Paden De.
nies Press Dispatches and "In Letter
to Tribune He Says He Did Not Say
Some of the Things Credited TO Him, "
the Deseret News last night had the fol-
lowing:
IN a letter TO The Tribune. published
this morning In Its columns, in reply to
request from that paper to the rev
erend gentleman. DIR. W. II. Paden en-
things credited TO him In press dis
pa tches. He denies having said that the
Mormon" people are the lowest class or
people on earth that the 'Mormons" are
political grafters. that instead OF saying
deroga tory things about the States
schools. he has praised them.
The Deseret News has telegraphed Its
representative In Chicago for further
facts in connection with the episode. and
Will present them when received.
That is thoroughly dishonest, de.
ceptive statement from headline to con
clusion, Dr. Paden denied all OF the
things charged against him in the spe-
cial dispatches to the Smoot organ and
TO the Deseret News, not "some OF

of them as press dispatches is utterly
discreditable to the News, for that pa

not press dispatches at all.
DR.. Paden's denial was not in the
least limited. The Tribune wired to DR..
Paden the bo1-heads selected by the
Smoot organ here as the gist OF its dis
patches, so that he had the whole mat
ter before him. These paragraphs were
the matters alleged in the Smoot organ
and put in a box-head under flaTing

of DR.. Paden S offensive remarks;

DR.. Paden had this before him when
he wrote his reply to The Tribune. His
reply was: "I have not said here or
elsewhere any of the things you cite
as quotations from my speeches. And
then be proceeded specifically and in
detail to deny each and every one Of
the charges.
And yet the News says that DR.. Pa
den "enters denial Of having said
some Of the things credited to him in
The press dispatches" Surely, dishon-
est rancor could go no farther than
This. While as. to the misrepresenta
lions Of DR.. Paden being carried in

tcrly misleading, deceptive, and mali
,ious. since no news agency of any kind
sent out those dispatches, but they
we're concocted in the interest OF the
bigoted propaganda here which can
never see any good in anything except
the special interests which it repre-
