ROBERTS the Polygamist congressman
elect from Utah is fired, without having
been seated, and thereby the house has
secured charter of virtue. Polyg&my
is dead and it is safe to kick it. 1t ought
to be dead. But as Patrick Henry said
those who braved the anger of the lion
should not show fear of the whelps. The
credit which comes from an exhibition
of antagonism to thing that is dead is
a very questionable form. Roberts ad

no more be an approval of polyG&my
than the admission of a Jew would be
an approval of the crucifixion.
