VARIOUS religious bodies have adopt
ed resolutions asking the next Congress
to reject Roberts, the Democratic Rep
resen tative from Utah, on account Of his
having three wives. Congress is the
judge of the qualifications of its own
mbers. and there is no doubt about
their right to choose their company. II
q murderer should ask to sit with them
% an honorable" member of their body,
we have no doubt but they would de-
clare his seat vacant. It does not mat
ter that his constituency has elected
him, Congress has been made the sole
Judge OF the matter. If, therefore, the
next Congress should admit Mr.. Roberts
and permit his three wives to the privi
leges of the floor, the people can have
their own opinion of the members who
vote in favor of 1t.

December is adding surprising close
to the most surprising year of American
history. November surpassed all other
months of the century in volume OF
business and production, and thus far
Dsce mber is doing even better in pay
ments through clearing houses, in rail
road earnings, in foreign trade, in out
put of pig iron, in activity and strength
of securities. But that is saying great
deal, for in all these and other tests
November was by far the best month of
American financial history"
