21 IP' The White Man's Council Shall Apostle Reed Smcot Be Unseated Because of the Polygamous Form of Government He Represents? MEN AT FAULT. Mrs. Louise Henderson Asks How Women Can Undo What Men Have "Did." "Why not merge, join the band, get the 160 acres of Kind with right to vote, then change politics (or religion) and 'oust Mr. Smoot?" asks Mrs. Louise Henderson in answer to the question.

"But how did he get there and is it not sinful for us women to try to undo what man has Pity us. 'Tis true, this relic of barbarism, polygamy, is founded upon the doctrines of thegopel. From my own observation of the undeveloped idiotic offspring of this Mormon sect, 1 would say that it is quite indicative of the stature of those ancients whose authority they renounce. "Polygamy should be wipedr.off Xha earth. "Put Smoot out." .4 NOT SYSTEM OF THEOLOGY.

Mrs. Chas. Lawrence Declares Political Aspect Should Bar Smoot. This is the opinion of Mrs. Charles Lawrence: "I believe that no person should be debarred from political preferment on account of his religious belief; but the Mormon church is more than a system of theology.

It Is a most perfect political organization. "Its priesthood has supreme authority in political as well as in spiritual affairs. The United States senator Who is a Mormon in good standing, is free to vote only us his priesthood permits. In other words, he represents the Mormon church rather than the stale from which he is elected. "Hi3 church, with its revolting practice of polygamy, and its absolute rule of the priesthood, "is foreign to the spirit of American institutions, and I would consider its members out of place in tha legislative body of this country.

If Senator Smoot has taken the oath recorded In last Sunday's paper, I do not see how Kansans lola Register: Henry Allen is advertising thmt he will sell stock food cheap af the northwest corner of tho Paola pub-lie square. Can tills be Henry Allen, of Ottawa, 'prosecuting his congressional campaign amonjj the farmers? Atchison Flobe: Dave Palmer, a Tope- ka lawyer, made affidavit that he sat In a poker game with Judge Pollock, and lost $175. Attorney General Knox looked Intot ho charges against Pollock and decided that Palmer did not lose anything. Possibly Palmer gave his note for the amount lie lost. Wlnficld Courier: The citizens of Cow ley county feel that they have a.

claim on the place "made "vacant by the pro-' motion of Judge Pollock, and they are backing the candidacy of Geo. II. Buck-man with jl unanimity that has never before been exhibited. Mr. Buckman came to this country more than a quarter of a century, ago.

lie has always been one of our leading citizens and' has en held in the highest regard. He is lawyer of fine ability, possesses a judi cial temperament and seasoned judgment. Ve hope Governor Bailey will syc his way clear to him with the appoint- mcnt. Kansas City Journal: No doubt Cy Iceland did all he could to impross the administration that failure to stand by tho Kansas machine might endanger tiic electoral vote of the Sunflower state. Hutchinson News: In the appointment of Judge Pollock it is worthy, of note that tho recommendation of Long, a new senator, and of Murdoek and Campbell, the two now congressmen, counted for more than the old senntor and all of the old congressmen's.

The new broom did the sweeping. Lawrence World: lid Hoch is not a good loser. Ever since he was defeated for state printer ho has been so sour that ho howled in turning himself in his editorial chair. It is great pity, for Hoch is one of the really good men in Kansas politics. Elsmore Enterprise: Morton, Albaugh hit the nail on the head last weok when ho said that both factions in the Republican party were responsible for the large number of useless employes about the state house last winter.

And his declaration that there must be no more of it is timely. One of the best things about the Republican party is the ability and willingness of its leaders to see its mistakes and stand out against a repltltion of them nnd Morton AlbaUKh Will win back his many old time friends if ho will but follow his' own advice. Emr-orla Gazette: If the fellows who arc against Leland had any sense at -nil they would be for him; in the first place he could get it, in spite of 'them, it he wants it. and in the second place, it would take him out of the state, tie him up in a sack, lariat him out of reacn of politics, ana put him among the dnd ones for four years. The best thins the antls could do would be to be for Lclana, nnd the worst thing Leland could do would be to take the job.

Lawrence Gazette: Only about twelve men have applied for the place made vacant on the supreme bench by the resignation of Judge Pollock. The surprise Is great over this small number, but llf astonishment is small compared to that aroused by the fact that there- was but one Topeka man in th.5 bunch. Topeka has evidently discovered that she is not on Goxnor Bailey's map. Atchison Globe: Much as we admire Charley Finch of the Lawrence Gazette, we can't help regretting that he knows so many dlshorie.it men. He snys Senator Long's election was more disgraceful than the downfall of Pomcroy.

ani that Judge Pollock, who has just been Selected by the president as federal judge for Kansas. 13 an Awful Mun.

Ho was unfahiy beaten, and the Globe said so at the time, but has- he a right to air his indignation he can take thfe oath of allegiance to tho United States government without committing perjury, which should certtainly bar him from the senate.

Mr. Smoot is also charged, whether justly or otherwise, with being a polygamist; but, aside from this, it seems very unwise to allow a man so thoroughly dominated by an organization as members of the Mormon dhurcli must be, to hold a seat in the 'United States senate." WOULD SEAT SMOOT. Capt. Burgess Believes Educational Policy Might Be Carried Out in Utah. Captain W.

Burgess says: "Were I a member of that august body, the senate of the United States, I would convince myself of two facts. "First. Is Senator Smoot a polygamist he so live? "Second. Do the Apostles of Morm'bn-ism take the following oath? 'And I furthermore promise and swear that I will eternal emnity toward the govern ment of the United States, and will avenge the death of the Apostle Joseph "If I found either charge true I should vote to unseat him. "As to the first, does Senator Smoot live a polygamous life? If so, it certainly disqualifies him from a seat in the senate, and a jury, in a civil court, would be justified in indicting him on the presumption that the (Second was true.

"Second. If such an oath is taken and subscribed to it constitutes him an anarchist of the most inexcusable tpye, and no anarchist should be allowed to liVe and breatii the free air of America, to say nothing of his representing-a state in the congress of the government. On the other side, Utah is a state and entitled to representation in congress. Her constitution forbids plural marriage and my opinion is that polygamy exists there only as slavery now exists in certain sections of the south, and that a lenient educational policy by this government towards Utah in Politics beforo the public as he is doing? Mr. Fincli has been cross for more than two years.

That's long enough for bad tern- per to begin damaging a man. Kansas City Star: Too many Kansas Democrats are expressing a fondness for President Roosevelt. This is the way Hugh Farrelly, chairman of the' Democratic state committee, disposes of the matter: "A Democrat who indorses Roosevelt is like a Republican who would iildorsd Tillman." Kl Dorado Republican: "Tho appointment of Pollock, as judge, will cause a new allignment in state politics," says' an up. country newspaper. Pollock's appointment will not "change a single 'vote in this county, and that it will have any direct or indirect 'influence" on a hundred voters in the state, we are not ready to believe: and the printing of such abominable rot simply dlssusts decent people.

Washington Post: Jim Troutman re turns to Kansas with the consciousness that he did not harm his candidate for federal judge any more than possible. Lawrence Journal: William Allen "White of Kansas is given credit by the prcsi- Curios of Oklahoma News SMALLEST BOOK IX WORLD. A book only one-half as large Is size as a postage stamp and less than one-fourth of an Inch" in thicKnes yet containing the full new testament, every word of which can be easily read with a small magnifying glass Avhicli accompanies the volume, is certainly a mighty small affair and almost beyond the range of possibilities, but that very book with two others of small size, was exhibited at the Shawnee News office recently by Miss Sue Mathis. a popular young lady. The books include the testament above mentioned, a dictionary containing words and their definitions, and a complete Bible from Genesis to Revelations.

The dictionary is a standard edition and in size is just as large as a pos-tnge stamp, and about one-fourth of an inch thick. The Bible contains ovcry word of the standard edition and is li by I inches in size and inch thick. The books are neatly bound in pretty covers and enclosed in cases. Each one has a magnifying glass accompanying it which brings the tiny print out very plainly, allowing every worq to be read. There is not a blur in either book, nnd not a word is omitted.

The paper is made by a gentleman who Is the only manufacturer in the world who understands the process, and the books are made in Glasgow, Scotland, a friend of Miss Math-is having sent them to her. She Is very proud of them and would not part with them for any consideration, and her pride in the smallest books in the world Is certainly justifiable. (From the Waukomls Hornet). This is a rooster.

THE KAWYER'S GAME. The Cordeil Herald-Sentinel relates how -it had been arranged that J.

However, his time was so taken up'with the former thaC the latter was forgotten, and when will eventually eradicate the system or practice. "Under this latter view of the cane, I should certainly vote to allow Senator Smoot to retain his seat. "Remember this polygamous living has existed fpr years, and so permeates all the social, political and religious functions of the people that time is required to change decades of education and the people must be treated as a physician treats a patient with cancer, viz: While I applying the knife to the growth, administer drugs to destroy the poison in the body. Also remember the greater per cent of the people living in polygamy are foreign or are of foreign extraction." QUOTES TAYLOR OF OHIO. Miss Leida Mills Is for Keeping the Lion Out.

"The question, '3hall Apostle Reed Smoot be" Unseated in' congress because of the polygamous form' of religion he recalls the quotation used by-Taylor of Ohio in his speech against Mormon Roberts three years ago in the house," declares Miss Leida Mills. 'But Titus said( with his uncommon sense, 'When tile exclusion bill was in suspense; 'I hear a lion in the lobby rot'-; 'Say, Mr. Speaker, shall we shut the door, "And keep him there, or shall we lrt In 'To try if we can turn him out again?" "Technically considered, probably there is no ground upon which Smoot should be unseated: he. himself, is not a polygamist. But he is no better 'than the class he is identified with, which approves of, and practices polygamy, and also uses Its power to coerce voters.

In the spirit then, if not in the he is a violator of law and should not hold a seat in the United States senate. "It lias been said that women do not reason; they only feel.

Kansas City Star: Mort Albaugh, the Republican chairman, abuses Troutman as much as he dares in his paper, the Kingman Leader-Courier.

He refers to Troutman as "Jeems" and says the Washington police would have arrested "Jeems" and Carrie at the same time. Further than this Mr. Albaugh docs not care to take sides.

Babb tells his followers that plutocracy Is certain to control the next Democratic convention. Mr. Babb thinks this a reason why the Populist organization should be kept intact. A consideration of all the circumstances bearing on the case makes it seem probable that Mr. Babb meant to say "Interred." he heard a noise in the "spare room." he supposed it was the minister.

To the gentle rap on the door, and 'breakfast is ready, from the head of the house, a satisfactory response was given and in a moment outwalked Attorney Shean and not the expected minister, who had gone home with another brother. Nothing but a successful lawyer would have thought of securing a meal in this way." SYMPATHY FOR LAMBERT BOYS. The Oklahoma City Times-Journal tells of one Charles Lambert who went from this territory to Michigan and bought a farm so his boys could have work the year round.

Well, the Medford "Stnr can see where Mr. Lambert is right. His boys can chop wood and shovel snow seven months of the year, and then hustle like blazes the other five to keep them from starving while engaged at the winter work. How tho boys here pity those Lambert bQys. i A GOODRECdRD.

Before Utah was admitted to statehood, the judiciary committee of the house of representatives reported unanimously in favor of a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy within the territory of the United States. The seating of Apostle Smoot ought to be the signal for petitions demanding the passage of this WOMEN OVERANXIOUS. Paul Brown Doesn't Hardly Believe Polygamy Will Become General. Paul Brown gives his opinion as follows: "If the allegations are true that Reed Smoot has sworn enmity to the United States until Joseph Smith shall have been avenged and has sworn allegiance to the Mormon church superior to that of his of polygamy, then I believe that he shcu'd not be a senator and that, ho should not be allowed to fill a seat in the Uniteu States senate. "In the article in last Sunday's Eagle, it appears that women lealing, the fight against Smoot are fearful that polygamy will become general Miroughout our country.

In this I are over anxious. If any such danger actually threatened, I believe the people of the United States would wipe out the ilor-mon church." SEND HIM BACK TO HAREMS. Mrs. Harriet Knapp Would Confine Senator in Utah. "I am decidedly in of Apostle Reed Smocjt being unseated in congress and sent back to the harems of Utah, and I believe that is the -sincere wish of all home-loving women of our country of homes," declares Mrs; Harriet L.

Knapp. "Let us send him back for his oaths sake, if for no other reason. Not his oath of allegiance to' our government, but that other oath of eternal enmity toward the governmcnf of tho United States. "If he keeps either oath he is a perjurer. If he keeps neither he is a perjurer.

As far as his wives are concerned, he may have one, or lie may have a few hundred, like Solomon of old. but let him alone, tho punishment follows the deed. He may not be able, through great travail, to bring forth a 'Paradise Lost' as did alter he was three times married. But he may catch the sad echo of the wail that has sounded through the centuries, giving It a new impetus. 'All Is vanity, vanity and Vexation of POLYGAMY UNAMERICAN.

Wilbur Jones Gives Tnls as Reason for Unseating Smoot. Wilbur Jones declares that: "There are several reasons' why Reed Smoot should n6t be allowed to fn the United States' senate.

"Third, the women and homes of the United States demand it. "A nation can be no higher than its homes and history proves that the downfall of 'nations has been due to corrupt homes. "Fourth, polygamy is un-American. Now let the senutc take a bold and de cided stand once for all that if Utah elects a polygamist to the ynited States senate ho will not be allowed to take h's seat, and that a violation of that com- pact will not be tolerated by the-United States government." i Things You Ought to Know THE RATE AT WHICH THE WINGS OF INSECTS MOVE: The buzzing and humming noises produces by winged Insects arc not, as might be supposed, vocal sounds.
