Roberts is Doomed.

Roberts, of Utah, will not be al
lowed to take seat in the House of
Representatives. This is made plain
by the action of the special committee
which has been Investigating his case.
The committee finds that he is living
with three wives. This fact was
brought out by the examination of
witnesses, at which Roberts himself
wss present, and whom he cross
examined, but, as the committee
states, Roberts declined to place
himself on the witness stand.'
The entire committee certiies to this
fact. but it is divided on the course
which the House ought to have taken.
Six members of the committee indorse
the action Of the House in kalting
Roberts at the door. Two members
Littlefeld, OF Maine, and De Almond,
of Missouri-say Roberts should
have been admitted and then expelled.
1t is probable, however. that the Utah
man will have about as little interest
in this point of detail as man con
demned to the galiows would have in
the question as to whether the inquest
should be held on him immediately
before execution or Immediately after
ward. Roberts ultimate cate would
be the same in either case. When the
matter GENES up for action in the
House -rext Tuesday that chamber
will undoubtedly accept the commit
tees findings and keep Roberts out.
This decision ought to have vital
interest for Utah. 1t will shut out
knoWe polygamists from nomination
for Congress by any party. The com
mittee says that polygamy was pub
licly charged against Roberts in Utah
during the campaign in which ne was
electeE, and it was not denied by him
1t is pretty safe to predict that this
defiance of the public opinion OF the
country will not be repeated. The
precedent which is going to be estao
lished by the Robe;ss case will un-
Idoubtedly stand Persons publicly
charged with polygany, if elected to
Congress, will be stopped at the dog-
until:inyestigation il made, and thaa
If the charge be sustained they will be
kept out. Utah has u law againss
polyuamy. The course OF the House
of Representatives will constrain the
people of that state to take especial
pains to enforce it, particularly
against men who are ambitions to so
to Congress. Until a new choice is
made by Utah that state wiz be ua-
represented in the popular branch of
the National lature--G Gloee-

Roberts committee Reports.

The special committee appointed to
investigate the case OF Brigham Ro-
berts of Utah, the recently elected
polygamist congressman. made the
following report Wednesday:
We find that B. 81. Roberts was
elected as a representative to the Fit
ty-sixth Congress from the State of
Utah, and was at the date of his elec
ton above the age of 25 years; that
he has been for more than seven years
a naturalized citizen of the United
States and was an inhabitant of the
State of Utah.
We further find that about 1878 he
married Louisa Smith, his first and
lawful wife, with whom he has since
lived as such, and who, since their
marriage, has borne him six children.
About 1885 he married as his plural
wife Celia Dibble, with whom he has
ever since lived as such, and who.
since such marriage, has borne him
six children. of which the last was
twins, born August IL, 1897.
That some years after his marriage
to Celia Dibble he contracted another
plural marriage with Margaret c.
Shipp. with whom he has ever since
lived in the habit and repute of mar
riage.
Your committee is unable to fix the
date of this marriage. 1t does not
appear that he held her out as his
wife before January /, 1897, or that
before that date she held him out as
her husband, or that before that date
they were reputed to be husband and
wife.
That these facts were generally
known in Utah, publicly charged
against him during the campaign for
election and were not denied by him.
That the testimony bearing on these
facts was taken in the presence of Mr..
Roberts, and that he fully cross-ex-
amined the witnesses but declined to
place himself on the witness stand.

There is no use to talk aboRt what
might have been in the case Gf Petit
grew. To think that destiny might
have east his nativity in the Philip
pines would only he to tantaize the
ina gi7atioa- Pettigrew was born in

senate, and the country viii iave to

If Pettigrew had. however, come
into the world on the other side of the
globe and were now a native resident
of the island of Luzon it would be
more becoming in him to fight the
United States, even until hewas gray,
than to stand up and knock it as one
of its chosen representatives in con-.
gress. Aguinaldo is not a wholly
admirable figure, but he is entitled to
vastly more respect tkan the Amerl-
can who insists on hauling down the
flag of his country. Whether Petit

he were a Filipino is somewhat prob
lematical. 1t is certain he would not
be called upon to perform any such
service until he was gray, for. unless
Pettierew is much older than he talks,
the Philippines will be a settled,
peaceful portion of the United States
long before there are any silver
in the hair of the South

The clouds have begun to frown.
