ROBERTS CASE.
Carlisle Says His Citizenship Papers
Do Not Comply With the Law.

Washington, jan 5-The Roberts
Investigating committee continued its
session today. Chairman Tayler
stated that he had received from ex-
Secretary Carlisle letter giving him
his views of the case.
THE record of Roberts application

comply with the law as understand
1t and do not think he. should be
allowed to, vote in any state upon a
certificate based upon that 5 record.
HE is, at this very moment, poIyg-
amist. not having at any time aban--
doned or renolmced the relation as
sumed by plural marriages, and CO
habitation with the alleged wives is
not at all necessary. The question,
therefore, is whether the committee
will decide on the question of the
final right that. an undoubted polyga
mist, who justifies the doctrine and
practices of polygamy, shall be al

enc of any party a word against him
as an honest, both in business and poll
ties. Ask any man of any party in or
around New ulm, where he has made
his home for years, about his character.
Honest John Lind is all right wherever
you put him. Is the answer It seems
to be a strange thing that up to the
time of his leaving his party or his party

are so bitterly opposed to him now could
not speak too highly Of him and his rec

me ask what has he gained by acting
up to his honest convictions like thou

will tell you. John Lind today is not 50
well off financially, politically, or in a
worldly point as he would have been had
he remained with the Republican party:
but he has the approval of his own con-
science and, the love and respect of those
who know him best. Can any one who has
watched his career doubt that today he
would have been United States senator
if he had remained with his party? 1t is
the role of the dishonest man, or a po-
litical trickster, to make such sacrifices.

Martin county, not very far from John
Lind's home county. 1t was always I'M

not a doubt 1t will give Lind a bigger
majority than it did two years ago.

THE NIGHT SCHOOL

There is no young man who has ever
achieved distinction in any calling what
ever who had been deprived of educa-
tional facilities in his early life who did
not have recourse to the night school
when he could. In every large city in the
land there Hunlber of young men
who have learned as they have advanced
into mature life that The deprivation OF
a sound education is one of the greatest
barriers that-could be placed in deserv-
ing or ambitious mans path. These
young men are never in a position 70

situation; and Il they are ambitious to

advance in life they invariably turn to
the two agencies for supplying their eJu-
cational def1ciencies-th public library
and the night school.
The night school here and elsewhere
ought to be maintained as regular
it is thoroughly understood that night
school facilities are offered, ana that
those departments Of knowledge that
have a practical bearing on the occu,
there is no fear but that the response to
the offer thus made to them will be entire
ly satisfactory. The exigencies of Amerl-
can life are great. Even with families
who are in reasonable circumstances it
is an established necessity that the boys
SHALL after they have reached an age
which enables them to enter upon in
dustrial careers, take up the burdens OF
actual life.
In all the principal callings today, the
demand is for young men. The younger
the better. The boy who enters q rail
road Office and finds himself in young
manhood familiar with the duties which
relate to such employment is usually
more highly valued, and his opportuni-
ties of Advancement are often greater
than those of the young man who re.
mains, the intervening years at school
1t is so in most of the other callings
where thorough university education
is not an absolute essential Technical
training is the great need Of the hour
with our young men, not only in the
mechanical callings, but in every avo-
cation where Skill and experience are
demanded in the different departments.
Let any young man seek a given posi-
ton and he is at once confronted by the
inquiry: What experience have you
had?" 1t is this which in great measurt
explains the disposition so generally
shown to invite boys to enter the sew
eraI callings at an age when, a few
years ago it would not be thought in
any sense advisable to take them from
school.
All this goes to show the supreme value
of the night school system. We have
this winter in st. Paul taken steps to
offer proper facilities to young people
to attend night school. The Madison
school is centrally located. The knowl-
edge of this action ought to be spread
broadcast throughout the city. The al
vantages Of the system should be made
known, and everything done that can
be done through public agencies to invite
young men and women to attend. The
attendance thus far has been so salts
factory as to make it plain that with
more general knowledge prevailing that
night school facilities are available, the
response will be general among the
studious and ambitious young people Of

TOMORROW.

Tomorrow the American people will
present to the v~~ld the spectacle of
popular sovereignty in living operation.
Nowhere else in the world, and at no
period of the worlds history before the
advent of American free government,
might such a scene be presented. The
man who speaks in terms CT disparage-
ment of American Institutions; the Amer
lean citizen who is disposed to look
with doubling upon a universal voting
franchise; any man, no matter how con-
temptuously he may regard political
agencies as factors in the solution of the
great problems of human life, who is not
impressed by the dignity and grandeur
OF the picture which this people present
to view tomorrow as they proceed 10
settle the question of the government and
control of their several communities and
commemorative, is lost indeed to the
higher manifestations of human progress.
As peacefully as they proceed about
their several avocations, Americans will
tomorrow proceed TO discharge their
prime duty as citizens. They have pro-
Yided themselves with all the facilities
for making their will known. 10
whatsoever extent they fail in recording
their deliberate judgment concerning
their political affairs they are themselves
to blame. There is not an evil which
touches the framework of political So
ciety that they cannot remedy with their
votes There is no man among them all.
no matter how unkindly fate has Dealt
with him, no matter how humble he NAV
be in worldly possessions. in social posi-
ton or in the calling he pursues, that
does not find himself tomorrow the equal
of the wealthiest, the greatest, the
wisest, among his fellow citizens.
Sordid influences will operate here and
there to prevent the free and honest
expression of the individual and collec-
tive will But these forces have lost
their power with US. The way has been
cleared OF most of the obstacles which
corruption or INSCRIPTIONS power had
placed in the paths Of the people. The
Australian ballot has been the great
purifier of American political life. If we
do not approximate as closely as we may
to the ideal of equal justice to all ana
special privilege to none, the blame is
all TO be cast on the individual voter. If
our political institutions do not operate
to place the worthiest and most highly
representative men in office we have our
selves to blame. If the control of the
agencies Of our government ever passes
away from the people the event will

come about through popular neglect or
corruption in the discharge of the great
duty which wiilytomorrow bring millions
of American free men to the ballot box.
We have passed through several politi-
cal crises in our brief national existence.
This is not one of those. When the fate
of this nation hung. on the balance, and it
was to be decided whether the Ameri-
can republic should resolve itself into
two warning confederacies, the people
rose to occasion, and twice sent to
the White house one of the common
people, whose name will live while civ
ilized society lasts as one of the grandest
exemplars Of civic virtue and greatness.
When civil war once, more threatened
the land, and the prize of the presidency
was flched from him to whom the peo-
pie under the constitution had awarded
it, the influence of reason pre-
vailed, and the people submitted to
what is now universally conceded to
have been a gigantic fraud upon repre-
sentative government; because they
chose peaceful arbitrament rather than
the arbitrament OF civil strife.
Tomorrows verdict will be concurred
in, whatever It may be- There will be
disappointment and sorrow. Thousands
of well-meaning men and women will
believe momentarily that the result in
wolves a fatal blow to popular govern
ment; but time will bring more reason
able views, and the peaceful concurrence
of the masses in the result will never for
an hour be in doubt And when that re-
suit is known we will again return to the
anxieties and joys of every day life, and
leave to those whom We have chosen as
our servants the discharge of the duties
which our laws and constitutions impose
on them.
