HEAVY BLOW AT POLYGAMl

A HEAVY BLOW Al fOL16AMI-
The recent Supreme Court decision On the
Mormon question, it strikes Us, is pretty
sound law and 10 the worst blow yet struck
against M~ormonism:
Give . people the franchise and no laws
are effective, nor can be made effective,
against them. Allow p~olygamists to con-
tinue to vote in Utah and. as a matter Of
course, polygamy will continue to prevail.
In this case the MormoDs insisted that the
commissioners had no right to prevent regis
tration of Mormon voters on the ground of
p~olyeamous practices. Mr.. Justice Matthews
takes the position that, while Congress can
not interfere with the personal rights of the
people of the Territory, their politi-
cal rights are another thing and
subject, so long as Utah is q
territory, to grants at win by Congress, un-
der whose absolute jurisdiction they are.
Therefore Congress can limit the right of
suffrage and condition its exercise as it sees
ft. Therefore polygamists and bigamists
can be denied the right Of registration or vot-
ing 1t the will Of Congress. But Congress
has declared through this commioien that
bigamists, ETC., shall not register - voters.
Consequently the enactment Of the terri
torial laws 10 given over into the keeping Of
the m~onogamist. and the twin relic sup
