the State. OF these threerequisites the House
is the Judge IL he possesses these, the House
has, I'm my opinion, no lawful power TO APP
ply any other or further test IN respect OF
his being admitted 10 seat. 1t would be
extremely dangerous for a constitution TO
give majority of a House the right to de-
termine what particular sort Of a man the
people Of a. State should have the right To
elect TO represent them further than our
Constitution has declared.
HOW HE MAY BE EXPELLED.
This is too obvious to require illustration.
But when a man so elected and possessing
the qualifications required by the Constitu-
ton has once taken his seat, the Ccnstitu-
ton brings into play another and entirely
different provision. authorizing the House,
with the concurrence of two-thirds, TO expel
a member. Upon the exercise of this right,
the Constitution wisely imposed no limita-
ton except that of requiring the concur
renee of two-thirds to expel. If, therefore,
the House of Representatives shall find on
due inquiry that Mr.. Roberts is an open,
practical and persistent polygamist, and the
House thinks that in view of that fact, and
in connection with the circumstances under
which Utah was admitted, or without REFER
ence to these circumstances, 1t viii be a re-
proach to its dignity and good name to con-
tinue Mr.. Roberts as a member, it may law
fully and rightfully expel him. If 1t does
not act at all (suppOsing the facts to be as
stated il viii have given its acQuieScent
approval of the conduct of Mr.. Roberts, and
of the action Of the people who elected him
with full knowledge of the circumstances,
and henceforth it viii be justly considered
that the House has no disposition TO inter-
fere with the practice of polygamy in Utah.
If it does act and expel the member, IT Will
have declared against the perpetuation Of
that system.
Utah being now d sovereign State, with all
the power of any other State, neither house
of Congress, or the whole government Of the
United States, can do anything further, eX-

Everybody with half an eye knows the

dripping an instant, then, quietly and clean

so far as to correct him for offering a visi-

Quite an ideal combination Of domestic tai
ents and true intellect Is eXemplifed in Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, who, as housekeeper,
has very few rivals and who at the same
time is a thoroughly sympathetic companion
to her able and busy husband. Mrs. Roose-
welt never finds herself too busy to see that
her husbands favorte rice pudding Is done
to turn. Her housemaids are pinks OF
domestic precision, and her larder always
fortified against the colonel's impromptu
dinner parties got up by telephone. Indeed
her smile OF confident cordlality never wav-
ers when a half dozen unexpected guests
claim her hospitality at the shortest notice.
but with uniquely varied domestic cares she
finds time to keep pace with her husbands

ests or packs up at hint to go junketing
about the country on speech making tours.
By this ready responsiveness she has con-
trbuted not little to his success in life;

man does marry wisely and well he secures
a simply invaluable assistant in helping him
up the ladder of fame.

worthy as poor Mozarts, while Dante and
Milton and Coleridge found the matrimonial
yoke too heavy for endurance with wives
who were capable cooks and admirable
mothers, but whose souls were not attuned
to poetry. The great exception to this 1ule
is no less important individual than
Goethe. After long years of bachelorhood
the Independent poet took to wife pain
little German girl, typical haus frau, to
whom, nevertheless, he was uncommonly
kind. Balzac, on the other hand, waited
until his career was almost over before he
screwed his courage up to The point Of mar
rying and then chose Russian lady whose
esprit and good looks took his heart by
storm.
Where great men have married happily
they have chosen wives whose brains and
hearts were equally balanced with domestic
shrewdness. Bismarck Gladstone, Lord
Salisbury and Dom Paul are among the SEN
sible geniuses who married at once cd
housekeepers and clever women. Mrs. Kru-
ger though her husband may be million
aire, as his adversaries suggest, knits his
socks, makes his coffee tucks up her skirt
to aid little Kaffir girl her sole maid ser
want, about the housework and contentedly
wears a sunbonnet or "kappie," as the
Dutch call it; but for all that, like the wife
of German William, she knows the political
situation in the country her husband gov
erns as well as he knows it himself Tante
Kruger is Dom Paul's second brain and
conscience, and in the privacy of the pres
idential mansion has been known to scold
at his mistakes, suggest his next ma
neuvers, and she detests his enemies and
the English with wholesome vigor
Madame Theirs, like Mrs. Kruger, cared
