rHE PoLYGAMous C0NGREssMAN

THE POLYGAMOUS CONGRESSMAN.
We do not doubt that the moral sem
timent Of Delaware is wholly ayerse to
allowing a violator Of the laws Of the
United States to sit as a member Of
Congress. Should Congress permit a
polygamist to occupy a seat In that
body. while there exists a statute pro-
hibiting multiplicity Of wives, It
would shame the country and defy de-
cency.
1t is scarcely to be doubted that a
majority OF the members Of the House
will vote to unseat Mr.. Roberts; but II
is to be feared that various influences
win operate effectively to secure one
third OF the votes in his behalf Two
thirds must vote to oust him or he will
hold his seat.
Delaware should find some means to
express itself with emphasis against
seating Mr.. Roberts. The Philadelphia
Press has a very clear editorial on the
subject:
The meeting OF women held in New
York city last Friday TO protest against
Rrieham II. Roberts, OF Utah, being al
lowed to retain the seat in the national
House OK Representative TO which he
was elected last November Is only one
indication of the drift OF public opinion
on this subject A protest fully as
strong and earnest could be had from
any city in the country. outside OF
Utah. if the trouble were taken to utter
the prevailing opinion on the question
Mr.. Roberts will doubtless be ad-
mitted to a seat in Congress. His ere
dentials are correct and his name has
gone on the list The question is not
whether the House will admit him, but
whether it will permit him to retain
his seat. To expel him will require O
two-thirds vote, and to obtain that pub
lie sentiment will have to be brought
to bear on Congress in the most de-
cided way. There is no question thai
Mr.. Roberts is violating the law OF his
state against the practice OF polygemy
and that Utah in sending him to Con.
gress violates the compact 1t made
with the general government when Il
was admitted as a state in the Union
If the House OF Representatives per
mits Mr.. Roberts to retain his seat anc
TO assist in making laws for the coun.
try IL will give direct Endorsement tc
law violation and shock the mora
sense OF the nation
Congress is soon TO meet. In a little
over eight weeks Il will begin dts ses.
sion. II public opinion is to have any
influence on IL and prevent it from
committing a grave error In the Rob
erts case that opinion must be strongly
and decisively expressed. Many pro
tests have been made by religious ant
non-religious bodies against an ac
mowledged polygamist and law
breaker being allowed TO sit in Con
gress. But If the State Of Utah is to b.
brought TO a sense OF the error il com
mitted in electing Mr.. Roberts and h
rs 10 be expelled from Congress NOR
vigorous and persistent action must b
taken than has yet been had. The Ne,
York meeting suggests a way by whicl
Vne force OF public opinion can b
brought to bear in the matter.
