The movement against Congress
nan-elect Roberts of Utah is certain TO
be fatal to him. In view of the public
pressure Congress cannot possibly let
him be seated though it may have TO
stretch the Constitutional point to eX-
clude him from the House. The
chances are. however, that he will not
run the risk of having his credentials
rejected but will retire as gracefully as
possible and let bygones be bygones.

There were Beers in America once.
They held Manhattan Island. Long
Island and the richer part OF the pres

mated the greatest commercial harbor
OF North America and controlled the
Hudson river from its source TO its
mouth. Their pioneers penetrated the
region of the great lakes and peered
across the border into Canada. Honest
and religious though they were they

British subjects have no reason to
feel doubtful about the tenacity AMI
courage OF General White. Though in
n swirl of enemies he is holding his
ground with splendid courage and may
be trusted to do all that soldier can
under the circumstances. There is
something inspiring in his defence of
an almost untenable position which all
Americans, however alienated from the
mother country. must appreciate.
