THE THIRD MRS. ROBERTS
Name Two Years AgO-Be
fore that AnOther's Plural Wife.

Salt Lake City Tribune.
In any State except Utah the time that
a woman takes a mans name would be fair
ly good evidence of the approximate date
of their marriage. If the rule were applied
to the case of Brigham H. Roberts 1t would
argue that he did not take his last plural
until in the spring of 1897, for not until then
did Maggie c.. Ship change her name pub
licly to Margaret c.. Roberts. This state
ment is borne out by the entries for success
sive years in the Salt Lake city directory,
by the fact that in the spring of 1897 she
changed her name In the book of telephone
subscribers, by the fact that she canged
from Shipp to Roberts her signature on her
prescriptions, ard by the fact that in April
of that year she requested DR.. Luella Miles
to change her name on the rolls Of the
Medical Society.
The question naturally arises: If Roberts
married her before the issuance of the
manifesto. why did she continue for seven
years to bear the name of another man
one who had been convicted and imprisoned
for unlawfu cohabitation with her and
others? Why did she continue for three
years to occupy a place of residence rented
by Milford B. Ship and later occupied by
himself and another wife?
In the absence of legal documentary evil
dence, such as a divorce from Shipp or a
License to marry Roberts (being a plural of
both she could obtain neither, except from
the church,, Mrs. Shipp-R Roberts did moth
Ing to publicly proclaim her change of hus-
bands until, in 1897. she changed her name.
1t Is possible for Roberts. to have married
fore the manifesto, but even then his of
Tense was hardly less blameworthy than It
would have been if the marriage were more
recent, because at the time OF the issuance
of the manifesto he had only been out of the
penitentiary for a year and ten days. Rather
a short time in which to manifest his re-
pentance for a previous like offense by tax
ing the plural OF another man.

some other test of fitness than answering
written questions ma secure better re-
suits. They also believe that men called
to positions of responsibility should be per-
mitted to select their nearest confidential
assistants. Because this latter class hold
such views they do not deserve to be de-
nounced as spoilsmen. Moreover. it Injuries
the cause to do so.
Here in Indiana, since 1894. a great work
in reforming the civil service has been ac-
complished. All of the States charitable
and reformatory institutions have been
wrested from the spoils system. The
has been enforced. Nonpartisan boards
have been appointed. so that all of these
institutions are managed upon a business
basis. Faithful discharge of duties insures
every official and employee security in his
place, regardless of political opinion. There
is no provision for actual competitive ex-
animation, but those no appoint are re-
quired to ascertain the fitness of those
whom they appoint. Will any one declare
that this is not a case of genuine civil
service reform because there is no machin-
cry for competitive examinations? Is that
not a genuine merit system which secures
the best possible service? Are the men
who have done this work in Indiana to be
denied the title of civil-service reformers?

There are very few thoughtful men in
the country who nave had experience in
affairs who would go back to the old sys-
TEN of appointments to the subordinate po-
sitions in the civil service. Under that plan
none but the dependents of those who had
influence with TENDERS of Congress could
expect to obtain appointments. This sys-
ten not only made senators and represen-
tatives unpopular. but congressman all of
whose demands for patronage were not
honored became the enemies of the Presi-
dent. This was particularly the case dur
ing the first term of General Grant. The
civil-service reform movement owes two
or three of it's most conspicuous lights to
the inability of General Grant to meet their
extraordinary demands for offices for their
friends. There is not a congressman whose
official experience dates back beyond the
passage of the civil-service law who would
have it repealed. The testimony of the
prominent men who have held positions in
the Cabinet is very generally in favor of
the law. All these men may not agree to
labor under the delusion that they are all
there is of the reform, but they are none
the less sincere and effective Governor
Roosevelt has been one of the prominent
advocates OF the reform, but he has done
his work in other directions than in fault
finding and suspecting. He succeeded an
executive who had taken the starch out
of the civil-service law in New York" That
starch and a little more was put back by
Mr.. Roosevelt because of his influence
with the LEGISLATURE.

CHARITY AMONG REFORMERs.

The letter which the committee of the
to the President, while it deplores his May
order, is couched in dignified language, and
indicates a more tolerant spirit than has
frequently characterized the statements
and opinions of the limited number of gen.
tlemen who constitute the active element
of the league. This ir an encouraging indi-
cation, since 1t affords ground TO hope that
the large majority of the intelligent people
who are in favor of an efficient civil serv-
ice, based upon worth and intelligence. as
certained by competitive examination and
trial, may be treated as friends Of the
cause rather than enemies. 1t is hoped
that this is the case. not that II will affect
the position of the larger number. but be-
cause a respectful recognition OF their atti-
tude will strengthen the movement. 1t was

more than any one cause. that retarded
the growth of anti-slavery sentiment years
ago. The danger of slavery extension
aroused the people. but when they were
aroused they ignored for the most part the
strenuous Abolition leaders, who did little
else thai d~enounce.
The value OF the competitive system is
very generally admitted by intelligent peo-
pie. Every national convention of the two
leading parties has Endorsed II. except that
which nominated Mr. Bryan. As to meth
