In this Roberts case the question OF
polygamy was not in the balance. If
this man had been found guilty of all
charged against him, not one man would
have voted to allow him 10 retain his seat.
The whole thing hinged on his right to
be sworn in as a member of congress from
a sovereign State whose credentials were
unquestioned. To judge a man and hang
him without trial is a judicial outrage
and that is what the house did today In
the case of Roberts. 1t was sop TO SEN
tinent at the expense of common sense,
decency and good government, a prece-
dent was established that will return TO
plague the house many times In the future
and will yet produce chaotic condition.
Mr.. Richardson made a good argument
in favor of seating Roberts pending an in
yestigation, and Mr.. Roberts made q uIan
ly defense and able argument in his owh
behalf 1t made a good impression on the
house and he was frequently appauded
ON both sides of the chamber. He asked
no favors and craved no privilege; he SIN
ply demanded his rights as the representa-
tive of sovereign State. II was a futile
effort He might just as well nave sung
psalms to dead mule as TO have argued
for justice with a lot of men scared 10
death by unreasoning clamor, yet private
ly admitting that they were wrong in vot-
ing against him; they have placed them
selves on record for effect with the voters
OF their respective districts. To say that
they voted from motives of social purity
would be an absurdity.
The amendment TO the Taylor resolution
to include McKinleys Federal appointees
in the investigation was offered by Lent2
of Ohio, as predicted by The POI corre-
spondent last night. Ii was promptly
smashed by Speaker Henderson declaring
IL out of order. Thus the republicans have
lodged and dared not go on record or al
low any such investigation 20 be held
Another exhibition of rank cowsAiice. The
action of the house today will clc5i Rob
erts governor of Utah. This IS the op:N-
ion here tonight.
There is very little comment here ON
McKinley's message. Ii is an omnibus
message and takes in everything, 1t was
thoroughly republican and thoroughly Me-
Kinley. In other words, IL advocates
everything which the democracy OF the
country is lighting and was at once the
emanation of man with jelly fish ver-
tehrae.

special TO The Post.l

Washington, December Sin the opin-
ion of many unbiased and unbulldozed peo-
pie, the sovereign State of Utah was
mobbed today by the American house of
representatives.
AS predicted in these dispatches last
night, Mr.. Roberts of Utah was told to
take his chips and get out of the con-
gressionsl game by brutal majority OF
the members of the house. The majority
was a good deal bigger than anticipated.
because it was not believed that the dem
ooratic party contained as many men who
are big enough to so to congress who
lack the courage of their convictions.
The democratic party has not made a
record to be proud of in this matter. Its
floor leader in the house, Hon. j. D. Rich
ardson, has not added TO his reputation as
a sagaoious leader in this Roberts fight.
He made mistake yesterday in not fore
ling the fight when Mr. Roberts was told
to stand aside. If he could be made to
stand aside for five minutes on account of
a sentiment, then he could be made to do
so for year. A mistake was made today
by Mr.. Richardson when he did not call
for yea and nay vote on his amendment
to Taylor's resolution to allow Roberts to
be sworn In and then investigate him.
In the opinion of the best constitutional
lawyers here, the vote on Roberts today
was a direct slap at the fundamental law
of the land, They consider a man who
takes the oath to support the constitution
and then tramples 1t under foot greater
menace to this country than any man ac-
cused of crime, 1t was performances
cowardly and cringing. 1t was an ainiS-
sion that crusade started through a
sentiment can stampede any number OF
politicians on earth and compel them Ia
stultify their intelligence and sense OF
right and justice.
