Show UNANSWERED QUESTION. The Salt Lake Tribune complains that Senator Smoot is being honored by tho United States senate through the Influence of tho hlerarch. Tho Utah senator Is to be made a member of the finance or appropriations committee, com-mittee, two of the most Important committees com-mittees In the upper house, places on which are seldom given to other than the most experienced and distinguished distinguish-ed members of long service in tho senate. Of course. It is the hlerarch that is swaying the great Republican senators to do this It could not bo otherwise and be satisfactory to the Tribune's conception of tho eternal fitness of things. By tho way, did not tho Tribune announce an-nounce somo tlmfl sum thnt hn hlor- arch had died a premature death at the hands of tho people of Salt Lake? Hero is tho same old fellow, gobbling gob-bling up senators In Washington and frightening others into making Reed Smoot ono of the most honored lawmakers law-makers In the nation. These conflicting tales from the Tribune hav confused us. Tell us, Mr. Tribune, is the hlerarch still alive? |
