For Miami Public Library.
Senator Taliaferro has introduced
bill, No. 1904, for the purchase Of a

Other bills introduced were:
Senator Taliaferro-to authorize
the president to appoint James M. Al
den to the rank of lieutenant in the
navy and place him on the retired
list. Referred to the committee on
naval affairs.
Mr.. Alden had a long and honor

Ed O'Brien Wins.
Capt. J. Ed O'Brien is having an
easier time of it in Washington this
year than in many years past. He
has made his fight and won 1t, and
the Littlefield bill to do away with
compulsory pilotage is laid away in
defeat. Capt. O'Brien, as the repre-
sentative of the National Pilots AS
ISOLATION has been a leader in the
contest all along The bill has come
up in every congress for years past.
It has kept the pilots and pilot asso-
Citations of the country in dread.
There has been temporiZing with the
measure in many sessions and Capt.
OBrien has held the bill away from
vote until now. At this session hav-
ing all of his forces organized and
with the power and influence OF the
labor organizations behind him, he
invited the issue, sanguine that 1t
would result as it did in victory. All
of the Florida members of the house
were also allies of Capt. OBrien. Col.
Sparkman delivered a powerful argu-
ment against the bill several days
ago. and this is said to have had its
effect in the final vote.

been no plural marriages that have re-
ceived the sanction of the church;
and If such marriage were contracted
to-day upon the personal responsible
ity OF anyone, it would spell eXcom
munication from the church by all
concerned in the transaction; and in
view of these facts, | think we are
justified in saying for the church and
In our official capacity that plural
marriages are thing of the past All
that exists of a polgamy among our
people are, those cases where the
marriage relations were formed long
ago and where men see no means of
meeting the obligations then formed,
under the sanction of their church,
except by conscientiOusly fulfilling
said obligations. AS to the righteous
ness of this attitude, people will, of
course, Judge as they please; but,
whether they approve or condemn it,
they should know that with those who
assume. 1t is matter of thus
reading moral duty as God has given
them the light to see that duty; and
its performance is attended-as is
so often the case in matters of duty
by sacrifice, and that circumstance
challenges respect, if not applause

of our mission is to induce those who

That is not true. The movement of
our people from the south in the past

ance manifested toward our people
which compelled them to seek the

DIPLOMATIC DINGDoNG.

Now Bellamy and Theodore
Shake off the usual letters,
That bind the diplomatic. pens
And go to writing letters.
They swat each other good and hard,
Like pugilistic batters,
And blaze the diplomatic trail
With rather personal matters.
A lady takes hand as we'll.
Indeed, she did begin it.
Since Eden has there been scrap
Without a woman in it?
But Bellamy and Theodore
Are in the forefront fighting
And as they cannot use their fists
They take it out in writing.
Good reading, too, they made of it,
The President and Storer;
And while the latter merely squeals,
Hark to the Roosevelt roarer!
Oh, Bellamy, why did you choose
A course so darned erratic?
You've proved to all, if need there
were
That you were not diplomatic.
You've got him going, Bellamy,
And he will not diminish
His speed, therefore Vol might as W
Prepare TO meet your finish.
