He s contended that nothing less than of the entire membership rf the senate could unseat the Ulak sen it tor. . Mr. Knox asked:' "Should the senate expel Senator Smoot, and why?" and answered hi own question, saying: "He should not be expelled for believing the Mormon religion. Tho irrevocable ordinance expreasly, and with Mormons in view, guaranteed religious toleration In tbe state of Utah.

(falling attention to the fact that Pennsylvania was tbe first to take steps to approve the constitution, he prayed that she "will be the last to acquiesce in tbe Invasion of rights In volved In this homy of senatorial power to add to tbe constitutional of aonator and kindred qualification modern heresies of constitutional construction." Continuing, he said: "Tbe perfection of human liberty under law will only be attained under the Ameriean constitution vdieu each of the dun! rovereignitlc.ffiXith-iIts sphere, exerts Jta powers to th utmost for the public welfare, and tha artificial bodies they have created cease to deny and resist tbs rightful and full exercise of the national when power over national affair: there are no attempts to encroach upon the undeniable reserved powers of the statea for the aggrandisement of national power; when the people discriminate between wise policies designed to meet the imperative needs of modern condition and demagogic aasan It a upon the foundation of the republic for political or personal purpose; when the people shall not be vexed by unnecessary legislation about their dally affair, and normal conditions are undisturbed by ceaseless agitations agitations foments 1 by Ignorant aud insincere misrepresentations.

"I know no Sent In the new propaganda of constitutional const ruction that beglna to contain the danger' to our. country involved In the contention that a senator of the United States may he deprived of hla seat whenever tbe majority of the senate conclude that there are doctrine taught, or have been taught In the past, b.v soma church organisation v which he belongs, which that major ity believe to be, or have been, dan two-thir- u geroua. "It Is an easy step after the first one ia taken, because of a man's re llgion, to take the pest and logical one of exclusion because of a man' politics, and then beeause of hla me tbma upon economics and then because of hla attitude toward certaia legislation. "I know of no defect in the plain rule of the constitution for which I am contending. 1 know of no case it does not reach. "I cannot sec that any danger to the senate Ilea In the fact that an improper character cannot be expells ed without a vote. It requires tho unanimous vote of a Jury to convict a man accused of crime; It should require, aad I believe that it does require, a d vote to eject a senator from hla position of honor and power to which has been elected by a sovereign state." Mr. Knox said that if he were asked to state concisely tha true theory of the constitution on the Important point of the qualification of a senator, he would unhesitatingly aay: "That the constitution , undertakes to prescribe no moral or mental qualification and, in respect to such qualifications aa It does prescribe, the senate, hr a majority vote, ahall judge of 'their 'existence la each caaa, whether the question is raised before or after the senator has taken hla seat. That aa to all matters affecting a man's moral or mental fitness, the states are to be the Judges lu the first Instance, subject, however, to the power of the senate to reverse their judgment by a vote of expulsion when an offense or an offensive status extends into the period of senatorial service, and such a question ran only ho made after the senator has taken hhi seat." conIt is htrdly proper" tinued, "to adopt a rule of constitutional construct loa and senatorial action baaed upon the theory that the taica tend criminal or idiots to the senate. Besides it does not seem to me to ho 'conceding much to a state, after it has deliberately and solemnly elected a senator after the fullest consideration of his nterlta, to concede on thp first bluah of thf business the state's intelligent and honorable conduct by allowing its choen representative admission to the body to which he is accredited. "As regards Senator Fmoot, all hare agreed that he is a man of unblemished character, possessing every constitutional qualification as a senator of the United 8tates. What, then, is the charge against him? We may as well go to the root of the matter at once. It la only this: He is a member and officer, of the Mormon church-noth- ing more. There lu no other charge brought against him. AH other charges are fneludsd lu. or grew out of, the fact that he la a Mormon, and one of the advisory counsel to the presidency of that church.
