GILBERT rHERE is a certain incongruity about Senater Reed Smoot who, en the fourth of next March, will succeed Senater McCumber as chairman jjf the most important committee of the Senate, that en Finance. 'He is a very tall man whose stride does net fit him. Six feet three lir four in height he steps like n man five feet three or four. His height in a way symbolizes his extraordinary irrasn of th Natien's business. When it comes te figures he towers above any one else in the Senate. His little stride shows itself when he nresents thrm tn the fleer of the Senate. Smoot is no debater. Inferior men with less knowledge talk Um down. They have mere aggressiveness and mere art. Moreover, he bs no followers. In no sense of the word is he a leader. He is no mixer with ms icnews. me recent tnrm discussion left him cordially detested 1 asKCU a man wne Knows mm wen hy. ' "Well," he said, "if any one puts in a bill te bridge a creek, Smoot immediately jumps te his feet and uys that the bridge should be fifty fett further up the creek or fifty feet farther down it. He moves an intendment and he produces a mass of figures te show why the bridge iheuld net be where the Senater rants it. A geed fellow lets his colleagues have their bridges where they will." New, it was se with the Tariff Bill. Smoot had his own ideas about very schedule in that bill. He was et content te write the schedules lie was chiefly interested in. He wanted te rewrite the schedules Everybody else was interested in. And he hud a heap of facts and figures te show why he should rc- wiitc them. ' The bill would probably have been l better bill if he had rewritten the hole of it. Hut a kind of senatorial eurtesy requires you te keep off the ther fellow's pet schedules. That is one reason. There is an- ther. A man who saw Smoot for the first time the ether day said te me: "He reminds me walking about the Senate fleer of a Sunday Scheel librarian delivering books te scholars curing the lessen." Oddly enough, very one seeking a comparison for 8moet resorts te the church. "A deacon," "a village elder" arc the commonest phrases. New deacons e all right in their places, but we like them better in church than out 'I church! A little worldliness would de Smoot geed. Yeu can net imagine greater contrast te Penrose than the man who will seen take his old place. Adding Machine in Breeches Without a Seme of Humer The Senater from Utah has a ne of sin in miblic that he never uite forgets. The sin that troubles ten most is waste. Every dollar that Wes astray weighs en his conscience.

Mr. Mellen is net enthusiastic about it. 1 Natien-Wide Pretests Greeted His Candidacu Senater Smoot's lone nnd busy serv- In. In tlm Hrnnln lirirllll lllllimtllcleUHlv. that the return was wrong. Mr. 1 When his nnme wa firht hinted nt nt 11 candidate, mere tlian twenty years age, 11 howl went up the country ever. It was clinked that there lnul bi'en a "dicker" with the Mermen Church, by which It was te return n Jtcpubllcen expert approved and 0. K.'d it. Te be twice as sure he had Secretary McAdoo's best expert examine- his return. He, tee, 0. K.'d it. A little while age from the Treas ury Department enme the demand for $3000 mere taxes en the ground Smoot told the Treasury Department te sue him if it would. But he thinks a tax law which presents se many difficulties that the two best experts could net make a return which would withstand further questioning causes nn immense waste of time. Recently n big mining cempnny from the West had its president nnd chief officials and a corps of experts in Washingen for ten days making out its return in consultation with the Treasury Department. Probably they had worked en it for days be fore they came te Washington. That In Smoot's eyes is a terrible waste of time. Mr. Smeeth's crusade is for a lax se simple that the biggest corpora tion could make its return en a single sheet of paper and have it ceiTCct. This is one argument for the sales tax. Anether is that one tax would be substituted for a mul titude of taxes. He'll Have His Troubles Putting Sales Tax Through But simplification of taxes is something we talk about but never accomplish. The motto of Legis latures in taxation is, "Let sleeping dogs be." New taxes always &eem pretest te the Committee en Frlrllefeai with inHtructleiiH te investigate. Then began n long-drawn -out in veHtigntlen, with ninny hearings, mid (he citing nf witnesses, among tlicm high officials of the Mermen Clnircl from Utah. Petition after petition coma In, cqierlally from women's organisa erganisa organisa teons. Various organizations, denomi national nnd otherwise, took up the at tack and be far as possible every woman's club In the country was urgd te march under the nntl-Smoet banner. The allegation was made en oath, though nfterwnrd disproved that Smoot ,,yi i.?i i!?m. f? . w.iiwn !l polwnnifet. Mm.

Frem the start the pretest ngnlnst the election of Smoot was bused en the preposition that "he is one of a self pcrpctuatins body of fifteen men. who, constituting the ruling authorities of the Church of .lesim Chrlwt of Latter day Saints, or Mermen Church, claim, and, b tlielr followers, are necerded the right te claim, supreme authority divinely "auctioned, te whupc the belief and control the conduct of thee under them in all matters uhatheever, civil and religious, temporal mid nplrltuul.

It was the Issue of polygamy, however, that aroused the women of the country. The Smoot trial became the trial of the Mermen Church, especially en thfl counts relating te alleged secret ap proval of plural marriages. Committee for Dismissal Overruled by the Senate After three yenrs of investigation the committee reported voluminously, citing passages fiem the testimony of wit nesss dealing for the most part with the tenets .uid practices of the Mermen Church. "The mere deliberately and carefully the testimony taken in the investiga tion is considered," said the commit tee report, "the mere irresistibly it leads te the conclusion that the facte stated in the pretest ere true: that Mr. Smoot is one of n self-perpetuating body of men, known as the first presi dency and twelve apostles of t Church of Jesus Christ of Latta-day SaintH, commonly known as the Mermen Church; that these men cluim Divine authority te control the members of said church in nil things, temporal as well as spiritual: that this authority is, and haH eeen for several years past, se exercised by the said first presidency 1 and twelve apostles as te encourage the practice of polygamy in the htntc et Utah and elsewhere, contrary te the Constitution nnd laws of the State of L'tah and the law of the land: that the said first presidency nnd twelve apos tles de new control, nnd for a long time tuiHt have controlled, the political af fairs of the church and State, and I have thus brought alniut a union of church nnd State, contrary te the Con stitution of said Statu of Utah and eentrnry te the Constitution of the United States, nnd that said Reed 1 Srnoet comes here, net as thc accred ited representative of the State of Utah in the Scnnte of the United States, I but as the choice of the hierarchy which controls thc church nnd has usurped the functions of the State in said State of Utah. "It fellows, as a necessary conclu sion from these facts, that Mr. Smoot Is net entitled te a scat in thc Senate as n Senater from the State of Utah, and your committee reports the fellow ing resolution : " 'Resolved, That Reed Smoot is net entitled te n Rent as a Senater of the United States from the State of Utah."
