MIR. ROBERTS is DEFIANT.
VIII Not Resign at the Behest of the
Churches.

Congressman-elec Roberts of Utah, in
a recent interview in New York denied
the report that he intends 10 resign his
seat shortly after Congress meets, In pur-
stance of the wishes of the elders of the
Mormon Church.
Il have seen many such stories since L
came east" said Mr. Roberts, but there
is absolutely no truth in them, and abso-
lutely no basis for the statements. L will
say as emphatically as l can say 1t that
1 do not intend to resign, and never have
had any such intention since my election.
I was fairly elected, and purpose to fight
II ont to the end with all the vigor at my
command Those who know me are aware
of this intention my part, and will not
credit these reports, no matter In what
terms they may be couched.
II have also heard 1t said, and have seen
Il In print, that the presence Of many Nor
mons of influence in New York at the pres
ent time IS for the purpose OF inducing me
10 resign my seat and go back TO Ctah. AS
a matter Of fact. there has never been
suggestion made from any Mormon elder
or Mormon of influence that L should re-
sign.
THE Mormon Church has no more to DO
with politics than the Episcopal Church or
the Roman Catholic Church 1t is not IN
politics l was elected on purely political
lines, and will go to Congress absolutely
free of this so-called church influence over

RATS on SIIIPBOARD.
If rats bring the plague on shipboard there
is comfort in the fact that your ship rat VIII
not go ashore until either a gangplank or
haWscr has been made fast to the pier. Then
he will be eager for shore leave as any ocean
Wearied mariner in the crew. AS long the
vessel remains anchored moOred to a buoy
away from the shore the rats in her hold will
stay there. The stories Of rats leaving ships
when sinking are easily accounted for by the
fact that the rats mostly congregate near the
high water wash of the bgc, where they learn
before any one else on board that the hull is
beginning to fiji. In such cases rats will come
on deck be chased hither and thither. jump
overheard in a panic and swim for it, But
there is no foundation for the fear that a
port Of infection spreading through the rat
crew would occasion scattering of all hands
or tails.
