This being the case, according to the
Spectators inspiration, 1t behooyes the
United States to prepare now to defend the
Monroe doctrine. else to abandon it. 1t
is a clear case of renounce or fight. The
fight may not come for many years. but it
will surely come. this authority assures us.

numerous and more powerful than our own.
And, after all, the Spectator intimates.

United States does not want it for itself?
Naturally. why not? Because Mr. Spec

cause with great powers clustering on the
American borders. it is but step to such
friction as would inevitably disturb the
peace of this republic. and perhaps utterly
destroy its prestige Because, in short. the
Monroe doctrine. based upon sane prin-
ciple of MISREPRESENTATION forbids. and that
principle is not to be abandoned until the
United States is ready to go out of business
as great power.
As to the threat of German force. or of

kaisers ambitions. there is reason for
Americans to feel alarmed. The natural

certainty of the ability to maintain secure

which is to stand to the defense of the
country against all assailants. If Emperor
William is indeed reckoning upon this fac
tor in his grand scheme of empire he is
less shrewd than he has been supposed
to be.
1t is more than kind for the Spectator to
warn the republic thus. 1t bespeaks the
new friendship between the nations. But

The Bad Boy.

His hair is red and tangled. and he has a
turued-up nose:
His voice is loud and strideut. and it never
gets repoSe;
His face is full Of freckles, and his ears
are shaped like fins,
And a large front tooth is missing. as you'll
notice when he grins.
He is like comic picture, from his toes up
to his head
But his mother calls him darling when
she tucks him into bed.
1t is he who marks the carpet with the
print of muddy boots;
And refoices in door-bell that is pulled
out by the roots.
Who whistles on his fingers till he almost
splits your ear,
And shocks the various callers. with the
slang he CHANGED to hear.
He fills the house with tumult and the
neighborhood with dread
But his mother calls him darling when
she tucks him into bed.

undoubtedly knowing Roberts to be po-
lygamist in violation of the law and the
states pledge, elected him to Congress as
their representative. This disclosure must
react upon the Mormon Church to the ex-
tent of putting a decided premium upon an
honest observance of the laws and the
pledge. for IL the state cannot be repre-
scented in Congress by poIygamist every
candidate for that Office must be subjected
to the closest scrutiny as to his availa bility.
This scrutiny will be wholesome. The
moral effect of this formal official and non
partisan refutation of the Mormon pretense
that polygamy has not been recently prac-
ticed will surely be far-reaching. Thus.
aside from the mere question of Roberts
right to a seat, the outcome of this inquiry
makes for better morals in Utah. a fuller
observance of the statutes, a more decent
respect for the American public sentiment,
and more sincere regard for the territory

Roberts to BE Excluded.

According to the news from the Capitol
today, the Roberts committee will report
unanimously against the right Of the Utah
man to sit as a member of the House.
Seven OF the nine members believe he
should be excluded from membership, while
the two others, republican and demo-
crat. hold that he should be first seated and
then expelled. The public at large is not
concerned as to the precise processes OF ex-
cltlsion. That Is matter for the House to
determine according to it's lights. What in
terests the people is that the institution of
polygamy in this country has received a
serious blow, from which 1t will proba bly,

proceeding that not only has the practice of
plural marriages been continued since the
enactment of the Edmunds law and the

by the specter Of Germany threatening the

vivid picture of what is going to happen.
