MIR. ROBERTS OF UTAH.
No COnceaIment of the Fact that He

st. Louis Republic.

Salt Lake, Utah, November 16.-The
threats made of excluding D. Fl. Roberts,
pepresentative-elect from this State, from
congress on tho ground that he is an active
polygam,st. and therefore ineligible, have
caused some Stir among the politicians OF
this state. Roberts is a democrat but the
republican candidate. a Mormon, accepts
the election result and has raised MO objec-
Aion to Roberts. The contest If any Is
maize, will be brought by Warren Foster,
the populist candidate who received 1000
votes out of total of $4,000
Mr.. Roberts is an active polygamist. He
admits that he has more than one wife. But
he has vid,atei no Federal law since the
adm s5on O. Utah and has never been pro-
ceeded against under the state law There-
fore If he Is denied a seat in congress, II
apparently Will be simply on general moral
groun5s. Few persons here believe that
congress VII take such action.
With the admission OF Utah to Statehood
the Federal statutes relating to polygamy
became imperative. The legislature enacted
law AGAINST unlawful cohabltation, and
the State constitution contairs an anti
pclyeanly clause, but these have never been
enforced There is no proof, however, that
polygamors marriages have been contract
cd since the issuance or the pOygaIsy
manifesto and 1T is the general Denei tuat
the practice WIZ gradually due out with
the death of those who entered irdo poly
gamnus relations prior to the PRONUNCIATION
Of the manifesto.

PROJECTIONS FAILURE.
DETROIT FREQ Pre.s.


ut has long been evident 10 minds not
blinded by the sophistries Of protection that
the doctrine which found It's fullest and
completest expression in the Dinglcy tariff
bill WAS doomed. It was claimed for this
measure when It was under discussion in
congress THAT it would be both a protector
to American industry and great producer
of revenue.
In the former capacity, that of a pro
tector to home industry. its failure has
been demonstrated by the tremendous ex-
pansion OF our foreign commerce, in spite
CT the disadvantage Of an increased cost OF
production for cur manufacturers ccn3e-
quent upon the high tariff. The fact has
been fully demonstrated that our manu-
facturerS can. even under the hsmI.dcaps Of
high priced raw material and long ocean
carriage, go into the markets of Europe
and compete successfully with tie 'pasipsu
made" goods of the old world Profession,
the'reiors. is now, Whatever 1t may have
been in the past, useless to our manuiac-
turers. Our success in competing in the
worlds market demonstrates that it Las
outgrown its protective power.
las revenue producer the protective
system Is likewise a failure. We make
this statement without fear OF contrsdic-
ton. even from the friends OF the Dingley
bill For wheu Senator Mark Hanna. u
protectionist of protecticnists and one In,
close sympathy with a president who
gained his political distinction as a cham
plJn of this economic theory-when Mr..
Hanna acknowledges that the present tariff
law is not fulfilling it's promises, there is
no need of further assertion.
And the Ohio Statesman has frankly ad-
mitted this failure of Dingleyism. In an
interview Mr.. Hanna acknowledges that
under the old tariff law Cthe Dingley law
we are not getting very much revenue be-
cause we are exporting instead of import
ing, and something must be done TO meet
these new conditions. That is to say. by
becoming avn exporting nation protection
cap be of no further use eit'der TO the
American manufacturer or to the National
treasury.
But the burdens of maintaining OUR lie \
policy of expansion require large funds in
the hands of the government. AS MIR.
Hs,nna says, Something must be lSone to
meet these new conditions" and he is in
favor of placing a duty on tea and coffee.
The American people win soon be able to
realize in most practical manner that
Imperialism will be expensive. We are not
getting enough revenue from The Dinghy
law to meet the increased ooet of running
% government with an elaborate colonial
department. attached. and no doubt Mr.
Hanna's suggestion that increased taSatiln
be imposed upon the people will have to be
adopted

constipation, headache, faInting spells,
