One Living in Polygamous Cohabita'
tion Is in Law q Polygamost,

The members of the first presidency
and twelve apostles of the Norman
Church claim that there Is a distinction
between what they term poygamy-that
Is, the contra citing OF plural marriages
and polygamous cohabltation with plural
wives But under the circumstances this
distinction is little short OF ridiculous,
AS Is demonstrated by the testimony. the
so-called manifesto was aimed at polyga-
taking of plural wives. and II is the veri
est sophistry to contend that open no
torious cohabitntion with plural wives is
less offensive to public morals than the
taking of additional wives Indeed. IL ls

decided that any man Is polyganist
who maintains the relation OF husband to
a plurality of wives. even though In fact
he may cohabit with only one, The
court further held in the same case that
a man occupying this relation to two or

can be no practical difference In law or
in morals between the offcnse OF taking
plural wives and the offense OF polyg-

Germany replied that she had no de.

she gave no indication that she pro

about the situation, as war between
France and Germany would greatly
embarrass her. Not only is the Rus

the interior situation as not to be in a
position to offer aid to her ally, but
war would end the possibility of con-

DOLLAR BILLS
HOW CANADIAN INDIANS RE-
CElvE THEIR ALLOWANCES.
agent Distributes 100000 Among
Tribesmen Each Year but Carries
Only s3o,ooo--How He
Does II.

Seattle, Wash.-Seyeral years ago
the Canadian government took from
the tribes OF Indians about A~thabasca
lake and river a large tract of land
and in payment for the same 1t gives
each year five dollars to each Indian
and $25 to the chiefs In one dollar
bills.
The reason for this Is that the In.
dams dwelling In the district do not
know the value Of money. A paper
dollar looks to him about the same as
a blank piece of paper to a baby.
Should the payment be made In sill
yer, the simple minded child Of the
wilderness would punch a hole In 1t
and wear It about his neck and thus
a great deal OF money would be taken
from circulation. Should payment DO
made In one dollar bill the Indian Ia
liable to lose 1t.
Once each year a representative OF
the Canadian government makes a
trip through the country and pays the
Indians. On this trip he takes $50, 900
In one dollar bills and will probably
pay out more than 100000. The
natural question from civilization ia.
How does he do It?
As the Indian knows nothing about
the value of money his method OF
financial trade Is on the value OF
skins. Everything he buys is reckoned
by skins, and when one talks dollars
to him, his face has the expression OF
a blank cartridge. Fortunately for the
government, the Hudson Bay com
pany has secured the entire conf
dence OF the Indians during the CEN
tury Of dealing with them. and the
money paid to the Indians finds its
way into the trading posts of the COM
pany.
Here Is how the government pay.
master does his phenomenal stunt OF
paying 100000 or more with only
$50, 900 in his pocket. He goes direct
to a district inhabited by perhaps a.
900 or 5000 Indians; here he will pay
from $4,000 to $4,000 In treaty
money" Each Indian and his family
Is given the five one dollar bills In
payment for his surrender Of the land,
and each chief his SIS.
After making thfs payment the pay.
master takes q rest for a short time Mt
the Hudson Bay post nearest the pay
station. Within a few days the In
dams have made a line to the post
and there purchased whatever looks
good to them. They whack the money
down on to the trading post counter.
order something worth perhaps SO
cents and leave. The company agent
charges the red man with what he has
purchased and credits him with the
balance Of the five dollars. 30 that In
the future he can trade out the re-
hinder of the amount.
Within q week from the date Of
paying the treaty money every dollar
Of the amount has been paid into the
trading post. The paymaster gives the
post agent a check for the amount and
starts for the next Indian settlement.

washington, Dec. S.-President Roose-
velt's message to the second session Of
the Fifty-ninth congress deals with a
number of new and important subjects,
chief of which Is the government prose-
cution of the trusts. the abuse of injunc-
tions In labor troubles, the negro ques-
don, the preaching Of class hatred
between capital and labor, additional legis.
lation for the control of large corpora
tions. a federal inheritance and income
tax law and currency reform.
The message opens with a statement
Of what the last congress left unfinished,
and Of this he says:
II again recommend a law prohibiting
all corpora tlons from contributing to the
campaign expenses Of any party. Such
. bill has already past one house OF con-
desire; but let us prohibit in effective
fashion all corporations from making
contributions for any political purpose,
directly or indirectly.
Another bill which has Just past n
house Of the congress and which is ur-
gently necessary should be enacted into
law is that comforting upon the govern

the government had indicted certain per-
sons for conspiracy In connection with
rebates, the court sustained the defend
ants demurrer; while In another juris-
diction an indictment for conspiracy to
obtain rebates has been sustained by
the court, convictions obtained under 1t,
and two defendants sentenced to imprls-
onment. The two cases referred to may
not be In real conflict with each other,
but 1t Is unfortunate that there should
even be an apparent conflict. At pres

are blocked without any real decision of

to obtain justice, especially against
wealthy individuals or Corporations who
do wrong; and may also prevent the
