Bluffs SHITH OFF FOR WASHINGTO Congressman Returns to Capital After Spending Holiday at Home. Council HOPEFUL OF RENOMINATION Says His Duties Will Keep Him Out of Distéiet and He Will Depend Upon Friends to pailgn for Him. Congressman Walter I turned to Washington last evening after spendiug the holldays with his family in this city, will, on aecount of his work in congress be unable to take an active part in the approaching political campaign In the Ninth lowa district. Despite the | clalms of the supporters of Attorney Gen eral H. W. Byers, who has announced him- It as a candidate for the congressional nomination in the Ninth distriet, Judge Smith 1s very hopeful of renomination, but as he ls likely to be compelled to remain in Washington until near the date of his primary election in June, his interests will have to be looked after by his friends. Referring to the report that Mr. Byers would proposé to resign as attorney gen- eral if he would resign as a member of congress, Judge Smith said yesterday that he doubted If Mr. Byers was responsible fur such a suggestion, and explained that the attorney general’s office could be filled by wppointment, while the office of mem- ber of congress could not, and If he re- signed the resuit would be a special clec- tivn to fill his place within a month. he added that It had taken his utmost elioris during his entire service In congress 10 ‘aequire his present places as member o the commilitee on ruies, member of the commitit 6 appropriations, chairman ot the tilee on seu-coast fortifications, 1 hang member of the committee on the Suoury clvil blil chairman of one confor- ence committée with the senate and mem- Ler of another, member of the house bulid- ing commission, and member of the joint commission of the two houses of congress on the bonding of government official “1f Mr. ‘Byers made the proposition at- tribtuted o him,” sald Judge Smith, “it was & mild suggestion that I should resign @il these places caimed by years of service and which wo. once be tilled by others and the. .. re-elected start again at the foot of 1. ladder. No, 1 shall not reeign neither iall 1 neglect my dutles in Washington cven if they take time I would like to usc in the primary campaign, 1 am exceedingly hopetul of renomination and re-election, but my official duties re- quire that I leave largely to my friends work 1 should be glad to relieve them of.” Regarding the work of congress Judge Sinith expresse. the bellef that material amendments will be made to the anti-trust law ana to the interstate commer . law. “The nineteen years of experience under the anti-trust law and the various de- cistons under t, have thrown light upon the subject that the law can now be im- proved in several respects,” he said. “When the Hopburn inter-state commerce law was pussed, while itgcovered a num- ber of subjects, the prinfipal object was to confer the rate naking power on the commission. Other features have since risen to importance. Consplcuous among these Iv the question of how best to con- trol the capitallzation of transportation companles. ‘Chén the shipper should be given enlarged power to control the routing of his goods. ‘The ' decision 'In ‘the 6-cent fare and the threat 10 ralse the rates by with- diawing the commutation tickets, illus- trates the need for a law to require com- panies to obtdin the approval of the Inter- state Commerce commission bafore raising rates."” Smith, who re LEFFERT'S JEWELRY cation, 503 Sroudway. store, new lo- Sermon by Bishop Morrison.

One related to the dominance of the spirit of Christlanity. The other question was, “Is It an advantage or a disadvantage for a public man to be known as a pro- fessing Christian? One of the first to answer was James S. Sherman, vice president. “To your first inqui #ald the vice president, “I beg to answer that it is my belief that with the progress of education and clvilization throughout the world the spirit of Jesus becomes more dominant not only in busi- ness or in politics alone, but in the smaller affairs of everyday life. In answering your second query I hate to belleve, and I do not believe, that it is disadvantageous to any man ir any calling to be a profess- ing Christian. I am firm in the convietion that the time will never come in this country when a man in high position will hesitato to speak frankly and freely to such questions as you propound.’ “I believe it is a sirong advantage for a republican today to be a professing Chris- tlen,” wrote Gifford Pinchot, chief Koy ernment forcster, “It gives him confidence Speaker | The Finest Beer Ever Brewed majority—in every town or city It's up to you.
