T The U. have entered the fight againat Smoot of Utah, Anybody may scrateh the face or pall the halt of poor & wot ‘The temperance women have sent a mossage to the Utah legislature, oxpresaing their disapproval of Smoot on two grounds; First, not be cause he belongs to the Mormon church, but ia the candidate of the Shureh, and second, because he does belong to the church and ts under ite influence. i i other words, the geod wamen object to him doubly for the simple reason that he is @ Mormon, ‘Of courses, the constitution of the United States saye there shall be no Giscrimination agatnet a man because of his religious bellef, but who cares anything, any more, about the constitution of the United States? A wet of principles that be pulled im one part of the country’s possemsiona can be annulled tn another-—can't it? But in making the plea that Smoot should not go to the senate be- cause he ts under the control of the ohurch, the women are establishing & precarious precedent. This winent may rise up to haunt them some time when they seek, in the future, as they have done tn the past, te secure the election of some other men under the control of some other ehurch. And, by the way churteh, creed and work, you are not quaitfied to condem: AN obturches look pretty much alike in the great oon the American people, and a blow of this sort at one church le blow at them all. Bestdes, it we are to exclude from the senate all who are under con? tral of some organized influence or other, that august bedy would be left without a quorum. ; Th fluences that control moat senators are far more dangerous than that of any church can even be imagined to be, It ® not & mere demagoate cry to my = thy truet® combines and corporation control a sure majority of the senate. Look behind almost any senator who Is permitted to become a prom- iment figure in congress, and you will find @ corporation or two standing back of him and controlling him. ' Tt would not be polite to mention names; that would be ing tae near home. Nor ts it necessary, The fact is known to all who are Th. terested tn public affairs. i To these vital facts the good women are blind, But they can see when a man ts under the influence of a church, and, since it ts not their chureh, they think it too utterly awful for anything, The common sense of the people of the United @tates and of the legisiature of Utah is not apt to be greatly Influenced by thia distino~ tively feminine protest. Church rows and rivalried are rather common to @isturd the general erenity. wv) ‘The sane longing of the public l# that there might be loss senators un- der corporation control and more under contral of churches or other moral influences if you are not fully Informed about the Mormon it. mon senne of in effect Seattle's Rip Van Winkle city counctl woke up laat night after a nap of sundry years’ Auration and proceeded to call Chief of Potice Sul- liven Gown fur not enforcing the laws. Vertly, the gramd jury bas done wonders if & has qucceeded in galvantaing the city council Into some semblance of life and activity. To be sure, to the certain knowledge of 124,000 or more people, the Seattle police have consistently failed to en- force & great many laws on the statute books for the past five or efx years, but it is some encouragement to learn that the counct! Ras found out that fact. 4 Th seome that « recklem (eamster ts reaponaible for the council's awakening. One of the city father’s had a narrow escape from being run over by an ice wagon. Therefore the sension last night was enlivened by & tertes of speeches condemning Chief Sullivan for not enforcing ae faat-driving ofdinance. Nothing wae sald, however, about the saloon box and wine reom ordinance, the 1 o'¢lock saloon closing ordinance, the ordinance forbid- ding Chinese lottertes and poker rooms, and the ordinance prescribing the chats gang for men who live off the carnings of fallen women. Neither was the anti-amoke ordinance mentioned The lim could be ex- tegded indefinitely. ’ ‘The outcome of the councti's brief waking period waa the passage of &® fesolution cutting off the 19 emergency policemen granted Chief Sul- Yvan & month of so ago. There waa some talk about cutting off the obief's head, but that, apparently, Went over until another meeting.
