DEN0UNCES new P0LYGAmY
AposteI Lyman Tells Mormons They
Must Obey Law.

Salt Lake City, Nov. 1.-The presi.
dent OF the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles of the Mormon church, Fran
CHS NJ. Lyman, denounced before his
congregation the new polygamy'
which has been openly charged
against the Mormon church and has
never been denied. Apostle Lyman is
next in succession in the church to
President Joseph F. Smith.
THE manifesto against polygamy
given to the church is quite as bind
ing as any written revelation and we
are bound by it," said Apostle Lyman.
I'VE doubted the cons,itu,icnality of
the laws against the practice. but they
have been tested and sustained in the
courts and we must obey them.
This skulduggery mus cease. Some
men and women have got into the
fashion of having visions and dreams
about this, but let me Ssh you that
all such manifestations come from the
devil"

CAME NEAR CAUSING RIOT
Price Of Socks Discussed at Political
Catherine.

Huntington. L. l., Nov. 2.-The pres.
ence of six pairs of cotton socks at a
political debate between Congressman
w. W. Cocks and Martin Littleton
came so near causing a riot that the
judges were unable to decide who
won.
The socks were first displayed by
Cocks, who pulled them out of his
pocket and declared that under the
new Payne-Aldrich tariff bill such
articles could be bought at two pairs
for a quarter.
Littleton jumped into the argument
by declaring that before the Ubiquitous
bill was enacted the same kind Of
socks were 81 per cent cheaper.
In the wordy wal that followed the
audience took a hand by yelling "Sock
it to him" to each of the orators until
the judges we're forced to declare the
debate off without a decision.

Attorney Vertrees, BalIinger
Counsel, Issues Address.
BECOMES VERY SARCASTIC

Declares Ex-President Appears to Be
the Only American Who Has Ever
Tasted Of the Fruit Of the Tree Of
knowIedge-Asks Why the Colonel
Has Nothing to Say on the Negro
Question.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. John ]
V~srtrees, of counsel for Secretary Bal.
inger in the recent Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy, has issued an address
through the state Democratic commit.
tee on the Tennessee political situa
ton, in the course of which he makes
q savage attack on eX-President Roose,
welt. He says of him:
That ~pansophical, self-appointed
sehoolmaster-Colonel Roosevelt-ap.
pears to be the only American who
has ever tasted of the fruit of the tree
of knowledge. Apparently, he has not
only eaten of its fruit, bat he has
browsed at it's twigs, chewed it's bark
and brewed a drink from it's roots. J
he has recently spent a veal in the
heart of Africa, the negroes home.
Even an ordinary mortal with this ex-
perience and opportunity would con
clude he knew something of the sub
ject, and, in view of the gravity of the
negro problem in the United States,
give his countrymen the benefit of his
observation and experiences.
Colonel Roosevelt, the %extraordi-
nary, of course knows it all, or certain
ly cannot doubt that he knows it all.
Ordinarily, he is copious in advice, yet
though fresh from his long stay in
Africa he is silent, absolutely silent, as
to the negro problem and the negro
race.
Under the circumstances his silence
is significant-perhaps more instruc-
tive than if it were broken. He eulo-
g1zes John Brown, however. Can it
be for other purposes than to have the
negro think that John Brown was a
hero, because his effort was for them?
But he is silent as to the negro race.
Why? 1t is because he has come to
realize that race differences are in.
nate; that the negro race is not mere
ly a belated race-a race of Yankees
with black skins'-aad shreWdly re.
Trains from saying so because Of the
strength of the negro IN Ohio, Indiana
and other Northern states.
He fastened to announce-'By
George'-that he would run for presi-
dent if he could carry one Southern
state. Why a Southern state, and why
does not Mr.. Roosevelt give the South
the race question? There's method in
his silence"

TWIN CITIES FAVORED

Railroad Tariffs Now in Effect Tend

meree Commission Thinks Other
wise and Denies Relief Asked.
Washington, Nov. 2.-Dismissins a
complaint filed by the Omaha Grain
Exchange against the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad. alleging unrea-
sonable rates from points in South
Dakota. Minnesota and Iowa to Omaha
as compared with rates from the same
points to other markets, the interstate
commerce commission announced that
competitive conditions do not affect
Omaha as they do Minneapolis.
The Omaha grain dealers complain
they are not able to u a fair
share of the grain originating in
South Dakota, between the Missouri
river and the Minnesota state line,
points in Southwestern Minnesota and
Northwestern. Iowa. They desire to
have ,!ie grail. shipped 20 Omaha, not
particularly for milling purposes or
consumption, but for resnipment East
ind South. The railroads. which were
made defendants, claim that the coln-
bination OF rates which make up the
through rates to the South and South
east are substantially in favor of
Omaha as compared with Minneapolis
or Chicago. The compliments pro-
posed equal rates to Omaha and Min
neapolis, where the distance is the
same. and in territory nearer Omaha
differentials in favor Of Omaha sub
stantially the same as those in favor
of Minneapolis, where the distance is
less to Minneapolis.
The commission says the rates to
Minneapolis are strongly influenced or
controlled by competitive conditions
which do not likewise affect Omaha
rates and that the Minneapolis milling
interests demand and the interests of
the Minneapolis lines which do not
reach Omaha create substantially dis
similar conditions.
