in its midst. Who ever knew a
Mormon to attempt to make n con

They invariably 60 to the ignorant
class in the community, knowing that
their converts must come from this
class alone. Now, the question arises,
ought not this class to be protected ?
If answered afiirmativcly, then the
question comes up, bow are they to be
protected? When the emergency is
upon US. ps it is now, we have not the
time to educate or enlighten them,
and some other method must be re-
sorted to as Il temporary eXpedient.
The method that has been followed in
other communities is to notify the

then see that they do it.

This paragraph appears in this week. s

every one to think that trial by jury
