Show From Goodwin's Weekly. This Is the way Goodwins Weekly puts it on the Senatorial question: "As the matter stands nothing has really happened except that the apostle, apos-tle, having sent a special messenger to Washington to sound the President on the matter of Ills candidacy, the president In tho confidence of his private pri-vate onicc, being thus solicited, said lie believed it would be a mistake for Utah and for tho Moimon church to elect an Apostle to a scat In the American Senate. That docs not prevent tho legislature legisla-ture from going ahead and canying out the compact made with most of membcirf when they were nominated, and because of which the teachers went out and told the faithful that it would be pleasing to the First Presidency if they would vote the ' Ylckctsas it was pi luted. We do not think, cither, that the Apostle will bo denied a seat, for the ic.ison that in Colorado aie two Jack Moimon senators, In Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Mont-ana, Oiegon and Nevada there arc enough Mormon voters to make, in a close election, a balance of power, and all the Senators from these states will rally around Mr. Smoot and certify to their biothcr senators that he is all O. K. Tho lecent deatli of Frledrlck Alfred Al-fred Krupp tho "Cannon King" lias brought bcfoic the public some details regarding his extensive iron and steel works in Geimany. These works weio founded about a century ago by tho grandfather of the lato owner. Many sorrows and disappointments wero experienced by the promoter of this great enterprise, who woic ills life out without making much of a mark. But ho laid the foundation, upon which his son and grandson built and operated, ono of tho greatest plants of its kind the world ovcrknew. Tho statistics show that In 1001 they owned and operated 600 ore mines In Gormany, with other mines in Spain, jand with numerous quanics, sand and ' ' clayplt, andwharves of their own at Rotterdam.

Ficdilek Alfred Krupp up to the time of his death paid the highest income tax of any man in Germany, and was persumably the richest man hi the Empire. 'ot-wltlistanding 'ot-wltlistanding the extensive proportions propor-tions of ills Industry, he foretold that the Industrial tleeolpment of the United States In manufacturing iron and steel would In the, future outdo Germany. In this regard he has shown himself nearly a prophet. |
