SMITH OFF FOR WASHINGTON
Congressman Returns to Capital
After Spending Holiday at Home.
!
HOPEFUL OF RENOMHTATION
Says Ills Dstlfi Will Keep Him Oat
of District ! lie Will Depend
I pom Friends to Cam
pa Ian for Illm.
CoriKrensman Walter I. Smith, ho re
turned to Washington lait evening after
pending the holiday with hlit family In
this city, will, on account of hi work In
congress be unable to take an active part
In the pproachlng political campaign In
the Ninth Iowa district. Despite the
clrtlms of the supporters of Attorney Gn
eial H. W. flyers, who haa announced him
self as a candidate for the congressional
ronilnation In the Ninth district, Judge
Binlth In very hopeful of renomlnatlon, but
a he la likely to ba compelled to remain
In Washington until near the date of hla
primary election In June, hla interests will
have to be looked after by his friends.
Ueferrlng to the report that Mr. Byers
would propose to resign as attorney gen
eral If he would resign as a member of
cotigrtKS, Judge Smith said yesterday that
ho doubted if Mr.' Byers -was responsible
fur such a suggestion, and explained that
the attorney general's office could be filled
by appointment. While the office of mem
ber of congress could not, and If he re
signed the result would be a special dic
tion to fill his place within a month,
lie added that It ; had taken his utmost
etiorts during his entire service In congress
to acquire his present pluces as member 01
the committee on ruies, member ot the
ccrmnltl '' on appropriations, chairman ot
tic uo.:..iiiilce On sea-coast fortifications,
lUikuirf member of the committee on the
fcmury civil bill, chairman of one confer
ence committee with the senate and mem
ber of another, member of the house build
ing commission, and member of the Joint
commission of the two houses of congress
on the bonding of government officials.
"If Mr. Byers made the proposition at
tributed to him," said Judge Smith, "It
was a mild suggestion that I should resign
ail these place earned by years of service
and which v.o.i t once be filled by
others and the., re-elected start again
at the foot or i. j ladder. No, 1 shall not
resign neither i.iall I neglect my duties
In Washington ev'en If they take time 1
would like to use In the primary campaign.
1 am exceedingly hopeful ot renomlnatlon
and re-election, but my official duties re
quire that 1 leave largely to my friends
work 1 should be glad to relieve them of."
ftegardihg ' the work of congress Judge
Smith expressed the belief that material
amendments will be made to the anti-trust
law ana to the Interstate commer . law.
"The. nineteen years of experience under
the anti-trust law ' and the various de
cisions under t, have thrown light upon
ths subject that the law can now be im
proved In several respects," he said.
"When Sh9 Hepburn inter-state commerce
law was passed, while It C overed a num
ber of BubjoitJ, the principal object was
to confer the rate making power on the
commission. Other features have since
risen to lmportarce. Conspicuous among
these is the question ot how best to con
trol the capitalization of transportation
companies. Than the shipper should be
given enlarged power to control the routing
of his goodn.
"The 1 decision In the S-cent fare case
and the threat to raise the rates by wlth
di awing the commutation tickets, illus
trutes the need for a law to require com
panies to ubtiiln the approval of the Inter
state Commerce commission before raising
rates.". '

IM. Rev. Theodora N. Morrison, Episcopal
bishop of the diocese of Iowa paid his an

past years with their mistakes and defaults,
but to look forward and work in p different
and battel1 way In the future.

HARD WINTER 0 THE POOH
Overserr Miller Says Drmauds for
Fuel and Food Are Heavy.
"This lias been the hardtsi winter on
the poor people for a number of years,"
declared ueoige 1. Miller, overseer of the
poor yesterday, "lura nave been more
demands on "he county for fuel and
provisions than has been tne n in-
several years. This is probably due to the
-a.'i mat me extreme cold hus practically
put a stop to all outdoor work except
tuning Ice and the number of men em
ployed at that on this sid r nu ri,.
is comparatively small. There is no public
aim i no men who have usually
secured employment on the streets are no
iaie. The resuiur stieet men have not even
teen given ork shovelling snow.
"The cvera&e laboring man who Is de
pendent upon r.'S daily vage is Improvident
and rarely saves anything lor a rainy day.
'll.en when a hard winter comes and work
Is scarce the county has to furnish fuel
and food. I am afraid unless the weather
moderates .ion there tfill be considerable
suffering among the poor people, although
of coutse no decervlng case is turned down
by the county. 1 am kept busy every day
writing out orders for coal and provisions.
The requests for fuel, however, exceed those
for provisions."

CHRISTIANITY IS GROWING
Prominent Men Say it is More Domi
nant in Public Life.
aUESTIONS SENT TO SIXTY MEN
Vice President Sherman, Speaker
Cannon and Chief Forester
Plnchot Among Those ,
Who Answer.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3. Men of prominence
In national politics believe that the teach
ings of Jesus Christ are more dominant
in public affairs today than when they
entered active life, according to answers
to questions read today before the
Plymouth league of the Oak Park Con
gregational church.
Two questions were sent to sixty leading
men of the nation by Bruce Barton, presi
dent of the league, early in December.
One related to the dominance of the spirit
of Christianity. The other question was,
"Is It an advantage or a disadvantage
for a public man to be known as a pro
fessing Christian?"
One of tho first to answer was James 8.
Shermun, vice president. "To your first
inquiry," said the vice president, "I beg
to answer that It is my belief that with
the progress of education and civilisation
throughout the world the spirit of Jesus
btcunit-8 more dominant not only In busi
ness or in politics alone, but In the smaller
affairs of everyday life. In answering
your second query I hate to believe, and
I do not believe, that it is disadvantageous
to any man in any calling to be a profess
ing Christian. I am firm in the conviction
that the time will never come In this
country when a man In high position will
hefiltato to upoak frankly and freely to
such questions as you propound."
"I believe It Is a strong ndvantnge for a
republican today to be a professing Chris
tian," wrote Glfford plnchot, chief gov
ernment forester. "It gives him confidence
in '
by that "bodj
undeniably.
Let
in himself and It gives others confidence
In him."
Among others who answered the ques-"
tlons expressing belief In the growth of
