union in families. Are those chill
dren pr lueed within it MS fully ap
preciate,l br their parents and the
community as those Of monogamie
marriages? To all of these uues.
tions we give the most positive and
emphatic, No. In only very few
instances has there been anything
like satisfaction resulting from the
domestic relations-these all where
fathers have unlimited means, and
the families are isolated from each
other. and thus harmony is main
tanned bv their never seeing each
other. 1t is almost universally the
case, that man having a number OF
wives, selects the most delicate and
voluptuous, who is known as the
favorite. and upon whom all the It'd
bits, rarities and spare moments are
lavished, it being only from an i'm
peraiive sense OF duty and
right that any attention or blandish-
ments are conferred upon these I'M
palatable ones, they being cooped up
in some two roomed cottage behind
a few ragged and yellow peach trees
TO groan and suffer from the pangs
of unappreciated love, burdened with
large families Of small children, and
thus throughout life spending a
wearied and distressed existence,
with fear constantly upon them
that the old man-tneir husband
will soon pass away. leaving a half
dozen young widows and perhaps
two dozen children to become the
washerwomen and scavengers for
monogamic families. The accursed
monsters who are gnilty of these
things, and the ignorant. dainty,
stuffed favorite will prevaricate and
deny our assertions; and we regret
to know that hundreds of these atflict-
ed women who are the half starved
and poorly clad victims of these men,
will be frightened at our statements,
fearful it may ieopardize their future
salvation; for the abominable teach
ings Of their faith have led to the
belief that they are dependent on
these old bucks for future happi-
ness, so depraved are their minds
and perverted their better iudg-
ments. The children however, know
that our statements are true, and our
mission is to them.
There exists an inherent and in.
stinctive repugnance iii every noble
mind against code OF morals that
can tolerate the practice of polyga-
my. The lion has his consort; the
eagle its mate; the whale its ex-
elusive companion; Adam his Eve;
Brigham Young his luxurious harem,
and the poor polygamist his exten
sive, ignorant, unhappy, discomfort
ed family, who will grow up to
lament their own parentage. No
man, who has spark Of magnani
nifty in his soul, after having these
evils pointed out to him, could ever
take such destructive course to-
wards his own offspring and society,
while the most conservative man III
rejecting upon doctrine so de-
plorable, may well be excused for a
feeling OF Indignation against those
who will persist in this damnable
course"
This tells it all. |, is the opposi-
tion that comes from this source that
will kill. From any other source
they laugh at it and say it is only
polynogamy VS.. polygamy.
THE ELECTION
passed off with some little disturb
ance. but nothing serious, and that
was Anly in the 18th ward, the one
in which live, being only one block
from the City Hall. The result Of
the election has been highly crafty
ing to gentiles, they increasing their
vote to over 5000 in the territory to
$4,000 mormons. Besides this the
gentiles carried one county by a
majority of l6O, electing Member of
Legislature, Co. Judge, Sheriff, Re
corder, Treasurer and Surveyor,
which also gives them Co. Clerk,
Seleetmen, (Co. SUPERVISOR and some
minor offices with general appointing
power. The parties are divided as
Peoples (mormon) and Liberal (gen-
tile). 1t is square fight against
church rule and all the church enor-
mites. We feel encouraged at this
result. Next year we will carry one,
if not two, more counties and hold
Toocle secure, which will give us
members enough in the legislature
to worry through little good legis
lation. The vote in this, Toocle Co,
was 1900 liberal, and l,l50 peoples
Ophir Mining Dist. is in this county
and there is where the liberal vote
comes from.
