EASY FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Light Infantry Basketball Team De-
feats the POtOmacs.

The basketball GAM last night at
Washington Light Infantry Armory te-
tween the teams of that organization ard
the Potomac Boat Club was a walkaway
for the soldiers. who won by the score Of
% to 4. The Potomacs were outclassed
from first to finish, and the only points
they scored were the result of successful
free throws.
De,lin, the Georgetown University crack
football player was In the lineup of the
Light Infantry, and, with his team mate
Kendall carried off the honors of the
game He made FIVE goals in the first
half. one of which, a clever overhead
throw. was especially noteworthy, and re-
ceived great applause. He evidently had
difficulty in forgetting his football tao
tics. for On several occasions he ran with
the leather and was penalized. Kendall
threw five goals in the second half, and
Shreve made three goals from free throws.
Captain DAILY. of the Potomacs. played
his usual clever game, but failed t" con-
meet with the basket from the field. al
though he made several good trials. On
free throws he scored four goals in the
first half, and scored four points.
There was a very large attendance, but
the game was so one-sided that little en-
thusiasm was manifested. The next game
will be on December 10. between the teams
Of Gibralter and Eastern Athletic Clubs.

DAREDEVIL COURAGE.

The local Republican organ had an
other bad spell yesterday. 1t accused
The Herald of "cowardice" for sup
porting the Democratic nominee for
congress in the last state campaign.
The matter has never appeared in that
light to The Herald. And still. it must
be confessed that it took a vast amount
of courage for our contemporary to
support Alma Eldredge in that contest
as against a man Of the ability and
standing of B. H Roberts
There are few newspapers in the
United States that, under the circum-
stances. With the public and private
records Of both men before them, with
intelligent audiences listening to both
candidates night and day, with one an
able friend of silver and the other an
uncompron1ising adheTent of the adj
ninistration, would have turned from
Roberts to Eldredge. But our brave
contemporary did it. In the face Of its
boosted silver record it did It. In spite
of the accusations publicly made
against its candidate it supported him
to the end. and then confessed that he
was totally unfit for the place.
1t would have been heroic, no doubt.
TO have sent the Tribune's candidate to
Washington to be the butt of congress
sionaI jibes and jeers. and to have had
Landis-"an ungrateful man." as the
Provo Enquirer reproachfully calls him

Eldredge the other day.
such courage as was required to
champion the Republican nominee in
that campaign bordered on reckless
ness. it seems. It is ungenerOus Of our
neighbor to taunt US with cowardice
in refusing to stand with it in support
of Alma EIdredge. There is a kind of
daredevil courage that few people can
claim to possess.

One evening this week lady was

the doorway of q rooming house the lit

The little one here pulled her hand from
her mothers and started back ike a bird

reached down and caught her in his arms
as she came up and rained kisses on her
little cheeks.
The mother turned and hesitatsd a
moment and then slowly came after her
child.

TO papa? Why can't he come home?'
YES, Nell" said the father. way

The woman turned white to her lips
while ne was speaking, and her breath
came in quick, short gazps. The child
he'd out her tiny hands

The little one slid down from her faith

she said simply: Now, let's go home" -

NEWSPAPERS AND TRUSTS.

Republican editors all over the United
States are joining the general protest
against the paper trust and asking that
the tariff wall behind which this I'M
lawful combine has entrenehed Itself be
removed. Denver editors. publishers
and prOprietors Of Republican news
papers are quite as enthusiastic in this
demand as are their Democratic and
POpulistic contemporaries. They have
signed an appeal to all the publishers
in this st-protecting land. praying
for free trade in materials which, in
the newspaper business, are necessities
Of life. Following the example Of the
tariff-enriched state of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. X. G. Cooper Of the Denver Repub-
lican and other members Of the Colo
RADIO Press association have issued the
following statement:
The cost Of white paper has advanced
from 81 TO 10 per cent within the past
two years, seriously affecting every news

REPEATS THE LIBELS.

Yesterday morning the Republican
organ repeated its libels on the people
and state Of Utah and said 1T is abso-
Iutely true" that the authorities of the
dominant church sought Ito stuff
polygamy down the Threats Of congress
and the nation; that it was a breaking
Of faith; that Roberts was nominated
and elected solely because he was a
defiant lawbreaker."
1t says further that the church lead
ers promised in 1895 when he tROb-
erta) surrendered to the church"-as
the Tribune advised him to do and
abused him for not doing earlier-to
see that he should get the congress
sional nomination in 1898; and the Re
publican organ adds that "the purpose
was then to reintroduce pOlygamy, not
on the part Of the first presidency Of
The church. but by those younger and
more aggressive high priests of the
church"
If the purpose in 1885 was to reintro-
duce poIygaray by forcing Roberts to
surrender to church dictatiOn the
Tribune was behind the movement, for
IT demanded that Roberts should sur
render and sign the rule upon which
the controversy hung.
Another point. Until very. recently
the Republican organ has been claim
ing. to represent the younger and more
aggressive element of the dominant
church, which it calls Young Utah"
Now it charges this element, rather
than the old men already involved in
the plural marriage system, with try
ing to re-establish polygamy. This
tallies, however, with its oft repeated
assertion that the young men and
women of the Mutual Improvement
association nominated Roberts in the
state convention. It holds them re-
spOnsibIe then, for the alleged attempt
20 crowd pOlygamy down The throat
of the American public" How does
Young Utah" like it?
o q .
Here is another statement from our
contemporary which deserves a pass
ing glance.
Tt is true that the Tribune declined to
he switched of from the Roberts night
10 the Rawlins resolution and to the al
legation Of the appointment of pOlygdm-
isis to be pOstU asters, il had the one
fight i'm view, and was determined TO see
il through without deviation or turning.
Inasmuch az polygamists were ap-
pointed to important postoiTiees in this
state long before the congressional
matter was discussed. the defense set
up by our neighbOr is clearly an eva
sion. When Orson Smith and John c.
Graham were in a fair way to secure
the appointments they subsequently re
ceived. prominent members Of the min
isteriaI association, as we are reliably
informed, went TO P. II. Lannan. pro-
prietor and manager Of the Tribune.
and asked for the influence of his per-
sonal organ to help defeat the gentle
men named, for the reasons given. He
was not moved by the appeal. It was
only when a Democrat aspired to Office
that the moral indignation Of the Trib-
Une was aroused. Evidently. 1T had
the one fight in view" and was deter
mined TO shield Republican polygamists
while raising a storm OF dust about
the head Of Roberts to conceal its de-
parture for the camp OF the goldbugs.
