Exports from Washington and New York are . warning business men they should i not pay too much attention to the pre-election promises for there are, no present indications of a resump- ( tion of real business. A news item says that 15,000 men I are out of employment in Indian- 1 |1 apolis, which makes us wonder what , they fed them to get them to vote < the republican ticket last Tuesday. ’ Similar reports come from various ' ,i parts of the country and the trouble ( is that a wage reduction is to be t made before the wheels start to hum- < ming again. 1 1 = 1 The Legion flags were displayedl ’ todav iu honor of Armistice Day and! i < th-' down town streets looked very j attractive' with .the old red, white < and blue flying to the breezes from < flag poles in front of every business' 1 house. The plan of uniform decoration wa s worked out by the Legion| members has met the general approval of every one. This was proven again today. After all the effort made to secure' a large vote over the United States, estimates are now that it will total only about fifty per cent of the reg-1 istered and legal citizens.

Six yet.rsago today the great war closed, millions of American boys laid down arms and all over this land as- well as in nearly every other, people were wild with joy. While, no special cttlebution is on here, we are sure the people all feel the occasion and that they are back of those who offered their services for their country and their flag. This is ta loyal, patriotic county and community, which feet was proven dozens of times during the war. While it is taking a longer period than seems necessary to reap the benefits trom the ware which this country fought that peace might be everlasting, it is coming and future history will show that progress was really made. Armistice Day should be one of our sacred holidays and hereafter we should see that it is duly observed. * --- 31 " 3 than Mp American manufic- ' turer-, have established branch sac- ) tories in < auada.

Face to Face Witli REED SMOOT Senator From Idaho • in the days when Senator Heed *, Smoot began his polticial career the ) J excitement on the Mormon question i was running high over the country. Even as late as the day he was sworn ' in as Senator there was a challenge ',at Washington. His advent in public | life marks an epoch in the history of the country when the Mormon church was understood in its true light. Added to this he has made a record in the Upited States Senate that has marked him as one of the legislative leaders | of his time. In the beautiful green I valley in which Salt Lake City is i located Reed Smoot was born in a decade following the stirring expediences of ’crossing the plains in covered wagons. When he graduated from the Brigham Young Academy at Provo, Utah, in 1879, he was at tall, serious-minded young fellow who had 1 shown an aptitude for business. He (started at the bottom but was soon i advanced to Presidency of the Company. Proving a level-headed Provo Savings. Bank and the Electric 1 manager, he was appointed one of (the Presidents of Utah State of the Church of Jesus Christ letter Day Saints and made an Apostle of the church five years later Elected to the United State Senate in 1903. he is now serving his fourth term. When he first arrived -in Washington he be gan making a record as a hard work er and a thorough student. His work attracted the attention of the late Senator Nelson R. Aldrich. Chair monos the Tariff and Finance Com mittde and was advanced rapidly on the Committee, and was soon recogniz ed as an authority on tax and tariff matters. On the floor of the Senate he is always busy with papers, documents and figures and his colleagues look upon him as a walking encycolpaedia for facts and figures. Rather a deliberate and ungainly way of speaking, his earnestness and fund of information has gained for him the [reputation of being one of the mem- ■ hers of the Senate who is given close attention when he speaks on matters which he has investigated. Seldom seen at any social function, Senator Smoot can be found at his office or | home working away on statistics as if lit were a pastime rather than part of [his senatorial vocation. Tall and :somewhat stooped, with a drooping' mustache and rather hesitating in conversation, his utterances carry

So inexpensive is i that power that it is distributed to homes in Ontario for about one cent per kilowatt-hour, whereas the Amer- . ican home-owner usually has to pay live to 10 cents. The rate for factory power is lower still. Here i a a spur for similar development on this side of the border, which is proceeding less rapidly than it should. With our i waterpower and coal combined, the . whole country could be electrified ini i a decade or two. The St. Mary's . river could be harnessed. New York, where the traffic problem is worse than anywhere els* in the world, is finding cars parked on the streets an unmitigated nuisance. Wherefore there ii, talk of keeping them off the business streets altogether, except while in motion. Contrary to a popular notion, remarks the New York World, drivers have no inalienable right to use the streets for car storage. ‘No more are automobilists entitled to look to the city to care tor them by .providing space for parking their cars. That is no part of its business. It ig properly their own lookout to find room for themselves, whfether nominally their cars aru used for business or pleasure. And they will have to pay out of their own pockets for what they have had for nothing. For we are fast coming to the point where parking garages will be conducted as ordin- > ary business establishments in many the city. There is no other way. The streets must be kept clear for traffic." Maly cities all- ready are doing what the World sug-

e REED SMOOT says: “It has seemed to me as easy to gather the facts as to guess at anyi thing, for there is always a fascinating relationship between facts that makes it as interesting as solving a puzzle.” weight. The tradition is that Senator Smoot is thoroughly accurate and conservative in his statements concerning any legislation pending or past. The tremendous amount of work that ' he has done in twenty years at Washington is unparalleled. As Chairman of the Senatorial Campaign Committee from 1916 he has kept posted on the political situation throughout the country. year he made a trip abroad on a thorough investigation of 1 the situation in Germany for Presi- t dent Harding and his report had something to do with the appointment [ of the Dawes Commission. “It has always seemed to me as I easy to gather the facts as guess at anything, for there is always a fascin 1 ating relation between facts that makes it as interesting as solitaire or the solving of a puzzle. In the long ‘ run everything figures out with an exactness that is amazing if you gather ( all the figures and facts and give them their proper relations to each S other.” As the tall form of Senator Smoot ( sidles down the center aisle on the floor of the Senate you know that he is going after information. He walks rapidly but never seems in a. hurry. 7 It may be a book from the library or a visitor awaiting without, hut facts I are his constant object in every movement. His work in the Senate has I given the country a correct understanding and appreciation of the Mor- I mon people. The time and energy he has given to public service commands high respect from his colleagues. Senator Smoot has withstood storms t of political upheavals, (or was it not I during the lamented Taft campaign ' 'in 1912 that Utah and Vermont were < the only states who gave their elector- < al vote to the Republican nominee?

I desire to express -to you and through your paper my appreciation of the loyalty of those who supported me for the office of Judge at ■ the recent electin.

Although feeling keenly the sting of defeat and tlie humiliation of a desertion of those who had been my friends. 1 assure you that I have no ill-feeling toward Judge Sutton who was elected, nor the members of his party. I wish for him success. The Republican party did not owe me anything in a political way for I never supported their ticket. For ( thirty four years I have supported the Democratic party with my voice and in a financial way when called upon.l and I did feel that my own party owed me a little better treatment than I received. As Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias lodge I have been traveling over Indiana since the next day after election speaking on the sub-| ject of friendship and brotherhood and it would be very foreign to my thoughts to think unkindly of any( one, or in other terms. I am a Democrat and true to my party name and to my family name 1 expect to remain such, for 1 believe in Democracy and its Jeffersonian teachings. Respectfully, Dore B.

He was ac- - com panted only by Secretary of the I i Navy Wilbur any Assistant Secretary I of War Davis and his personal staff. ,| Following the president, scores of veterans’ organizations held brief exercises before the tomb and left | wreaths.
