precedents which were cited in its sup
port 1t was the universal rule that a
member could not be expelled for an
offense committed prior to election.
While it might be argued in Mr.. Rob-
erts' case that pOlygamy was a con-
tinuing status, the crime itself, the
initial act, took place long before Mr..
Roberts was elected.
Polygamy Never Legal I'm Utah.
''We are not separating wife from
husband" said Powers. "Polygamy
has never been legal in Utah. 1t
was illegal under the common law Of
England. The moment he took wife
No. 2, the marriage was void. Mr..
Roberts knew the law. He cannot now
plead the baby act against the law
and stern justice"
Snodgrass Of Tennessee followed
Powers, supporting the views Of the
minority In favor Of seating and then
expelling Mr.. Roberts. If we were
not to become the opponents Of the
French system of justice which pre-
sumed guilt until innocence was
proven, he said, Mr.. Roberts must be
accorded his prima facia right to his
seat before being ousted.
Violated Her Compact.
Lands of Indiana, q member Of the
Roberts committee, who signed the
majority report, argued that Utah had
violated her compact with the United
States. There had been universal re-
joicing in the land in 1896, he said,
when Utah had been admitted into the
Union. The people of the United
States thought that the birth of the
state worked the death of the system
Of polygamy. Yet they were startled
to learn in 1898 that Utah had elected
as her sole representative in the house
q polygamist, and that he was moving
upon Washington with a plurality of
wives and a multiplicity of children.
Uaughter)
Scored the Mormon Church.
Lands went over the record Of the
apostles Of the Mormon church to show
that most of them were guilty Of con-
tinued polygamy practices. Some of
his statements were sensational. He
scored the church for its alleged faith,
arousing great enthusiasm by his
scathing denunciation. At times he
convulsed the house with his sarcasm.
OF the fifteen apostles Of the church
when the proclamation was issued, he
said, eleven were open violators of the
law and three had undoubtedly taken
plural wives since 1t was promulgated.
In concluding he adjured the 1000
polygamists in Utah to take care of
their plural wives but in Gods name
to refrain from multiplying their in
fanny by bringing more children into
the world.

A WoRD TO MISSIONARIES.

Some of the missionary societies declare that
they will pursue an even more aggressive policy
in China as soon as the present troubles are
ended. They profess to regard the Boxer out
break as a providential event, which, In some
way not clearly disclosed, will make 1t easier
in the future to prosecute the work of missions
in China. Southern Methodist bishop the
other day went so far publicly to thank God
that 1t was the Methodist missionaries who had
stirred up all the trouble, and he hoped they
would continue to do so in the future. 1t is
not stated in so many words, but the feeling
of some Christians seems to be that the Powers
will so thoroughly cow the Chinese that here
after they won't dare to object to any kind of
religious propagandism. And they want the
home churches to take advantage Of that cir
cumstance-
We sincerely hope, however that on second
thought the missionary societies will recognize
the unwisdom Of such a course Even though
innocently so the missionaries were undoubted-
~ one of the causes Of the uprising, and any
aggressive operations on their part now would
look like an attempt to humiliate or provoke the
natives Moreover. the sword is not q good
forerunner FOR the Cross The allied army may
induce such a dread of Christian vengeance
that the missionaries will be able to do as
they please IN China without any fear Of In
terferepce- o. But soil so prepared for Chris
tan planting will prove barren. MRhomet
could propagate the religion of Islam with the
sword, but Christianity does not easily lend
itself to such an heroic method Until the bitter
memories Of the present troubles have been
softened by time it will be the part of wisdom
for the missionaries to do nothing to keep the
old sores open. Certainly 1t is no time to go
into the country with flare Of trumpets, as
though to remind the Chinese that they must
listen to the Gospel message whether they
wish to do so not.
Another fact must be taken into account.
There is good reason to believe that some of
the European Powers tacltly encourage the
missionaries in China to be extensively aggres-
sive, in the hope that such policy will lead
to outbreak which will be an excuse for
the seizure Of territory While the American
missionaries know that such Is not the feeling
Of the American Government, they may, acting
in concert with other missionaries innocently
help on the selfish territorial schemes Of some
European country. Some Of the Powers care
nothing for the missionaries. nor whether they
succeed or fail in their purely spiritual work
But they see enormous possibilities of territorial
acquisition in working their zeal and am
biton. They have successfully done this in the
past and they will try to do so to an even
greater extent in the future.

lean claims will be satisfied and win cease
while the claims or the ambitions of some other
Powers will probably run on much further. 1t
is not to be expected that the United States
will commit itself to going thus further with
them or to continuing TO back them up in de-
mands which are TO us Of no concern. The fact
that their path comedies with our path for
time, and therefore all walk together In It, Is
not the slightest reason why we should go out
Of our path to follow them IN theirs when their
path begins to exceed to diverge from ours.
1t is not to be supposed that serious statesmen
expect this country thus to compromise itself.
They will perceive the propriety of its acting upon
it's own case in accordance with the require
ments of that case and with its well established
policy in Chinese affairs. In doing, there is
reason to believe, the United States will be as
successful in effecting a final settlement as 1t
has been in bringing China to ask for such set
