Mr.. Lewis made the bill the text for a
general attack on army and navy contrac-
tors. whom he charged with being traitors
for taking advantage of the necessities of
the government in time of stress. During
the war with Spain, when the country was
confronted with an enemy from without.

declared, declined to bid against each 9th

been prepared for the Chinese-Japanese
war" 1t was messed and blue putrid and
corrupt, but it was sent to our soldiers a

nominy. reproach and contempt of Congress.
If he We're attorney general he should ar

The common sense and practical way of
protecting our bread and cake from alum is
by the use of the Royal Baking Powder in
making them. The Royal is certified by the
Government and State Chemists free from
alum and absolutely pure, and its high quality
and healthfulness are altogether above question.
Consumers may use the Royal with full assur-
ance not only that it makes the best food, but
that it is the most economical.

Baking powders made from burnt alum are
very prevalent in the market Sometimes they
are sold as phosphate, sometimes as cream of
tartar powders, but never under their true char
acter. They are generally offered upon the
ground that they are low priced. In appear
ance they resemble pure powder, and there
is no way except by analysis to detect them
until their continued use has impaired the di-
geStion and injured the health.

GROsVENOR'S REMARKS.

Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep., o., replying to Mr.

his greater amazement that the gentleman

which it did not want. [Laughterl Con-
tinuing Mr. GrOSVenor referred humorouSly

into a foreign war. We have not had quite

A pair of Jacks.
Estate Journal

Estate Journal.l
Andrew g. Jacks and Leota G..
Jacks, married on Wednesday even
ing and happy for all time to come,
came over from their new home at
Slough, Fairfield county, on Friday,
and paid their first visit to the won
derful city of Columbus. Utterly
unconscious of themselves and of the
interest which the public is pretty
apt to feel in bride and groom, they
spent the day of their lives in seeing
the sights, and returned last evening
tired but at peace with all the world
to the flourishing town Of Slough.
Mrs. Jacks still wore her wedding
gown of white cashmere, trimmed
with white satin and gayly beribbon-
ed and beruffled, and she was very
sweet and charming therein. Her
big white hat, with its bristling
phalanx of quills and its long bridal
veil, was quite the thing for newly
made wife. Upon her little feet were
white slippers of the mode of Louis
Quinze, and her slender hands were
clad in gloves of white. 1t isn't Of
eten that one wears SILK stockings for
every day and, sweet and modest
though she was, she couldn't quite
resist the natural temptation occas-
ionly to show them just little. And
no one thought the worse of her for
that. This sort of thing happens on
ly once in girls life.
She was 80 proud and fond of her
Andrew. They visited the relic
room at the state house together
pretty close together-and saw the
horrible missiles of war. She looked
long upon great cannon ball, and
then turning to her husband she
/ cried:
80 Andrew, Andrew" 1t was all
that she could say, but her meaning
was clear.
| And he, too, as honest farmer lad
as ever helped to make Ohio what
she is, was glad, for his BRIDES sake
and his own, that he hadn't'gone to
war.
Their train left at o'clock and
they must, of course, be on time. So
they left the statehouse early and
sauntered leisurely down High street
Her white kid glove nestled in his
black cotton one, aud the smiles on
their two faces were like the light
that makes the glory of the morn
ing.

ly to be reversed in the Quay case
from Pennsylvania.
The power of the senate or House
over its own membership is tre-
mendous. The provision of the
constitution making the legislation
body the judge of the qualification
of its own memoers removes the
Courts from all interference. There
is no appeal. The contention of
Mr.. Roberts is that he has taken
no new wife since the inhibition of
polygamy, and that he is entitled
to stand by and support the three
wives he already had on hand; and
that therefore he has violated no
law and is entitled to have his seat.
Suppose the House takes the
ground that Mr.. Roberts Is gross
ly immoral, and that to tolerate his
presence would be as much of a
contamination and as much of an
affrOnt to the people of the United
States as to harbor bigamist, or a
murderer, or horse thief, or a
burglar. There are no circumstan-
ces under which the bigamist is en-
titled to consider more than one of
the women he has married as his
wife, and that must be the first one.
Suppose the House chooses to con.
slider Mormon polygamy, under the
moral law, to be nothing but big
amy, which is penitentiary Of
fence in Ohio, and probably in
every state. And suppose the
House, in the exercise of the judg-
ment as to the qualifications of its
members, chooses TO consider this
disqualification in the case of Mr..
Roberts. Again we ask, what is
anybody going TO do about it? To
whom, or to what tribunal, could
Roberts appeal? To none but the
people Of his district at an election.
There Is no reservation in the con-
stitutional grant of power to the
House. That body can eXpel

Would the expulsion of Roberts

not be reached through the ordin-
airy machinery of contested ell

The Utah Case.

The clerk of the old House OF
Representatives makes up the roll
OF membership of the new body
from certificates of election furn.
ished to him by the proper author
tiles in the states. These men, so
certified and enrolled, assemble on
the first Monday in December, and
the Clerk presides while they elect
Speaker. The oath of office is ad-
ministered to the Speaker by the
Oldest reelected Representative.
Then the Speaker proceeds TO
swear in the members who have
just elected him to the position of
presiding officer. Queer way Of do
ing business, but that is the fact.
The clerk calls his roll of member
ship by states in alphabetical order
till as many as can conveniently
stand in semi-circle have been
called up. The Speaker then
swears in that batch, and then an
other semi-clrcle of statesmen is
formed.
The latest suggestion for getting
rid of Brig ham A. Roberts, the
polygamous Congressman from
Utah, is for some member to object
to the administration of the oath to
him, and for the Speaker to recog-
nize the objection and order Rob-
erts to stand aside for future con-
sideration. This would prevent
him from becoming the sitting
member; but the plan will hardly
do. Itis doubtful if the Speaker will
take the responsibility. He will
not have official ground for recog-
nizing the objection. Roberts has
the certificate, and there is no dis
pute to it. 1t does not even re-
motely raise the question of poly
gamy. 1t is simply certificate
that he was elected, same as Will
lam B. Shattuc or j. HI. Bromwell
has.
If the House wants to deal with
the Roberts question it will prob
ably have to boldly take up the
question of expulsion on the ground
that Roberts is an immoral person
and violater of law. 1t will have
to proceed "on general principles
