MoRNoNs III COUECIL.

A general conference Of the MGR
mon political and church leaders
was held at Logan, Utah, last week
Logan is a railroad town, near'y a
hundred miles north Of Salt Lake
City, near the northern boundary
of Utah. Why they should hold
their conference at that point, in
stead of at the Mormon capital, is
not stated in the reports. 1t Is
probable that they desired to get
away from sight-scers, curiosity
hunters, gossips, and reporters
The reports OF their proceedings
have friendly coloring, and wee
doubtless furnished by their own
newspaper scribes.
The rigorous United States Anti
polygamy law is producing the de-
sired result. 1t was declared at
one of the sessions Of this confer
ence that reign of terror exists
in Utah. The complaints Of the
Mormons are volublc and emphat-
ic. They declare that justice has
fed from the earth, that antl-Mor-
mon jures are packed on the poly
gamy trials, aud that "a MOrnon
might as well expect t. find justice
in den of pirates, or IN the infer
nal regions, as IN the Utah Federal
courts" The law is evidently lay
ing its righteous hand in heayiness
upon them.
The Mormons are not logicians.
The two parts of their story do not
hold together, They declare that
monogamy, the system Of single
wives, has numerous and crying
evils, and that polygalnY Is d gu
vine revelation. At the same
time they aver that not TO exceed
> per cent. OF the Mormon PoPaia-
ton are living IN polygamy, and
that it is hardship and an inius-
tice Of the grossest character that
9S per cent. of the population sho'd
be punished for the sin Of 80 small
fraction of the whole number.
1t would seem that Il revelation
which is obeyed BY only two in
100 of those to whom it is deliver
ed, must be a mighty bad reTela-
ton, or it must have stracE 4
mighty bad community.

The Kentucky women are as
enthusiastic about horses AZ the
men. They unhesitatingly place
the horses before themselves as the
greater attractions of the State. l
remember hearing conversation
between General Grant and
a Kentucky girl at the St. Louis
Merchants Exchange in 1915, when
President Grant was wishing the St.
Louis Fair. A number of ladies
were introduced to the President,
wherupon he spoke in very high
terms of St. Louis, the fair, etc.
You are mistaken, Mr. President;
We are not from st. Louis" laugh
ingIy said one of the girls; we
are from Kentucky, a very fine
State, you know, which possss-
es three things all men OF taste
must appreciate" Smilingly the
President asked her what thoy
were. She answered: I'VE have
the fastest horses, the prettiest
women and the finest whisksy in
the world" The President re-
| piled " Your horses are certainly
Justly renowned | have some ON

one of the things that require age,
and your men consume it 50 fast
