A recent letter from Mrs. Roach,
our State President, tells Of petition
she has just sent to Congress protest
ing against the seating of polygamist
Roberts. I am sure every white

she had not the opportunity of sign
ing her name to a petition we all so
heartily approve. In fact, this is q
matter which concerns vitally the en-
tire womanhood Of our country. The
Mormon Octopus, (" as some one aptly
calls it, has quiet, insidious emissa-

LYNDHURST,
Irving-on-H Hudson, Nov. 2, 1899.
Gen. William Christopher Liller. Ad-
jutant General, S. ". ", Washing
ton, D. c.:
My Dear Mr.. Liller: If the matter
commends itself to your good judg-
ment and you have not already taken
an interest in the Roberts question, l
hope you may feel willing to do SO.
Mr.. Roberts, it seems, has at least
three wives, and advocating and prac-
ticing the principle he does, he should
not, we women think, be allowed to
have a seat in the highest lawmaking
body of our land. We realize that what
we think cannot carry the weight with
congressman that communications
from voters would have, and we ear
nestly hope that men who sympathize
with the movement will be willing to
write their congressman or circulate
petitions.
I have never before taken any ac-
tive part in any political question, but
this movement is for the protection OF
the hcme and of women throughout
the country, and 1 am glad to use the
little influence I have for what [ be-
lieve to be righteous cause.
I trust you will pardon me for trou-
bling you, but you soldiers have been
80 good to me I am venturing to call
your attention to q matter that inter-
ests me deeply.
Enclosed you will find some Of the
leaflets on the subject issued by the
League for Social Service.
Hoping to have the pleasure OF
meeting you, when IN New York again,
I remain. Very truly,

Admiral Dewey declares hat under
no circumstances will he be a candidate
for the Presidency next year, for he is
n sailor and has no politics, and Dewey
processes himself totally ignorant OF
party %intrlcacies and affiliations. Sew.
eral times In the history Of the republic
the army has furnished an incumbent
for the Presidency. Not so the navy.
And II Is n remarkable fact that, on the
whole, the army men who reached the
chief magistracy by party nomination
had EVE been affiliated with the par
~ which nominated them. Andrew
JacksOn's selection to the Presidency
came before the methods Of nomina-
ton now obtaining were In vogue. He
was defeated In 1924, to be triumphant
~ elected In 1898, not alone because of
the glamor Of his military renOwn, but
because of a deep-seated conviction in
the popular mind that he had been de
frauded in 1924. Zachary Taylor was
taken up by the Wings In 1913, not be-
cause he was a Wing, but because of
his availability as a candidate growing
out Of the great reputation he made in
the war with Mexico. He was the
owner Of slaves, yet received the cor
dial support Of Northern opponents of
slavery. Great as is the prediction
Of the electorate Of the republic for a
military hero, Scott, who won laurels
in both the war OF 1879 and the war
with Mexico, was beaten in 1852. In
1868 Grant had no more historical iden-

Democratic party. He was no more

Yet II seemed natural to the whole

his consent no party would venture to
