Whatever may be said of Sir Thomas iptons judgment; so far as concerns his three successive attempts to lift the America's cup, he has shown himself to be the truest and pluckiest kind of a sportsman .Three successive defeats, instead of discouraging lim, seem only to have given added zest to his ambition to carry back across the water whence it came the prized piece of silverware, otherwise of little value, which represents the yachting supremacy of the world. At a recent banquet in London Sir Thomas FRANK J. CANNON. EDITOR. THE INVESTIGATION IS INVITED, The associated press reports stated yesterfavday that the Washington Post had been orable to Senator Smoot in all its comments upon his case; and that it had published an editorial which in part, said, as follows : He practically challenges the senates right to discriminate against any man who ormay happen to be elected by any church ganization. The effect of this challenge is to invite investigation by the senate committee on privileges and elections into the creed and Senator practices of the Mormon church. to invite his of feel sure Smoot must ground such an inquiry. Commenting upon this the Salt Lake Herald takes the view that a dragnet inquiry of the character proposed would involve this state in a publicity of a kind and to an extent that Gentile, Jew and Mormon alike would Is not the Herald mistaken ? If deplore. Senator Smoot has invited an investigation, it is probable that be is acting by authority and after counsel with his colleagues. If they desire such an investigation it should be welcomed by all classes of people ; for if it be made sufficiently certain, it will settle the vexing questions which the country constantAs a mere temporary ly directs at Utah. matter the visit of a committee of the senate to Utah with power to summon witnesses, or the sending from Washington to Utah for a cloud of people to give testimony might militate against business serenity; but in the end good would result, for it is absolutely necessary that the under current of accusation and suspicion in this state shall be stilled, if the state is to progress according to its possibil- ities. If Senator Smoot has invited this investigation of Utah affairs, let it proceed. The sooner and the more searching it can be made the better for al concerned, if he has invited it by authority. SCOTT ON WOOD, . Senator Nathan Bay Scott, of West Virginia, is a picturesque figure in the upper branch of congress. His arraignment of Dr Leonard Wrood before the senate on Monday was one of those terrific and forceful things which Scott can do as well as any man in the body of which he is a member. Lacking in all the polish of externals, he is a man of great heart and brain. He is a typical American citizen. He went into the army in his boyhood and served with gallantry throughout the Civil war. He knows whereof he speaks when he addresses the senate and the country on military matters. Having a place on the committee which considered the Wood he spoke by nomination to a is a that It probable majority will authority. vote to support the president and for the confirmation of Leonard Wood. But none the less the country will coincide with Senator Scott's view of the case. The elevation of Dr. Wood to the high position of major-genera- l, with the practical certainty that he will become the head of the army staff within a few years, is one of the most demoralizing and disgraceful things connected with our military matters in this generation. major-generalc- election of Marcus Alonzo Hanna by the legislature of Ohio is a tribute to his forceful genius in politics. No man in receu years has grown to greater magnitude within the same length of time. Mr. Hanna was barely elected to the senate six years ago by one vote, and charges were filed against him affecting his right to a seat on the ground o bribery in the election. He was not received with any marked cordiality by the old time Republican senators; but his genius is such that he has conquered all opposition and today he is by long odds the strongest man o the Republican party. As has been frequent ly stated, Senator Hanna is altogether unlove ly when measured by the old standard ideals, but he is altogether magnificent' when measured by he modern rule of this party. re- 1904 lAVTTATiV definitely announced that he wished to make a ourth try for the cup in the following statement : As regards the Cup, I have no new jolicy to declare, but I would be quite willing in the absence of another challenge, and provided I could see a reasonable chance of success, to make one last try, as the next Shamrock would be the lucky four leaved type.

Although the Clyde yachtsmen have for some time been making plans for a challenger it is probable that they will stand aside un-- il another time, for of a surety there will be another, and give Sir Thomas a chance to expend another half million or so on the boat which is to be christened Shamrock IV.
