The Edmunds bill forcontrolIiug
the Mormon Church incorporation
by administering ilsatiairs through
trustees appointed by the general
government seems to be an extra.
ordinary piece Of legislation. 1t
has passed the Senate by vote of
80 to Z, and is now with the House
OF Representatives. The protest Of
significance made against it was
upon the provision which destroys
what is known as woman suffrage,
but which, in reality, ne practlced
10 Utah, is only polygamons suf-
frags. Under Mormon administra-
tion Of the electoral power any
Mormon woman or girl above the
age of puberty with a child in her
arms, or who states that she is a
sealed" woman, will be permitted
10 vote. So, as a matter of fact,
female suffrage has been used as a
means of enslaving women. For
pOlygamy, as a system Of social life
and.practice, can end only in the
degradation Of the family, and
therefore Of the mother.

apparently Just as he leftSit. To

reasons that all persons in locking
a safe make a certain number Of
moves, and a knowledge Of this
fact enables him 10 further reduce

three movements. These two or
three moves he finds out by actual
trial, which consumes The greater
part Of his 20 minutes. In the
case when the safe is in an apart.
ment that is in full view of the
street, he drops a little quick lime
on tie floor, pours water on ii, and
the steam that arises eAeCtIally
