ONE WOMAN WHO HAS

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 13.-The women
OF Utah declare that Roberts ought to
sit in congress. The women of Utah
voted when Utah was a territory and
they are voting now. They run for
office and they electioneer. They can
tell you more about politics in min
ute than the average woman will learn
an a lifetime. The Mormon religion
teaches that women can not enter into
everlasting peace alone. No Mormon
woman can be saved unless she is
sealed to a man. The average woman
believes in polygamy and upholds 1t
and stands by it as a sacred institution
with all the fury which woman
throws Into religion and religious belief.
Mrs. Herbert Grant, second wife Of
Apostle Grant, leader in the church,
said to a friend Of mine:
II have six beautiful daughters, and
wish could find one good man who
could marry them ALL"
Mrs. Grant is a charming woman, an
educated woman, a devoted mother and
leader in devotional work, but she is
6. Mormon and delights in living her
religion.
Mrs. Amelia Young, favorite wife of
Brigham Young, believes in it.
She told me that she voted for Rob-
arts, and she told me why she did it.
'sVote for him?" she said. "Of
course voted for him, and he will take
his seat, too, I believe. Why did vote
for him? / wanted to see what would
happen If we elected a man who lives
our religion as his fathers lived 1t. I
wanted to see if the world had out
grown any of the old prejudices."
Mrs. Young told me all about the old
polygamy before the Gentiles came.
1T seems like a lovely dream now.
We are all SO happy together. I had
my doubts in my young days. I was
degenerate, and 1 used to rebel. You
know I married the president after he
had many other wives, and 1 felt at
first as if I was marrying some other
woman's husband, and getting found
out, but I soon learned to see how sell
fish could be, and to see the beauty of
plural marriage, as we all see st who
have lived it,

New Santa Fe Waste.

Newton, Kan, Jan. 13-The Santa Fe
has a contract for new kind of waste,
which it will use all over the system
as soon as possible. The system was
to be supplied by the first of January,
but owing to a fire in the factory the
different storehouses will not be
reached before the first of February.
The new waste is mixture of ordinary
wool waste, moss and asbestos, and is
fibrous. The wool retains the oil well,
the asbestos is non-combuStible, and
the moss prevents it from packing SOL
idly in the boxes. This mixture, which
looks like the whole thing, is good, how
ever, for but one thing-packing. The
ordinary cotton waste will have to be
kept in stock for cleaning.

Roberts is fine man." she said.
Il did not vote for him, because he is
against woman's suffrage, but if had
known that all this fuss would be made
against him, just because he lives his
religion, I'm afraid 1 would have de-
serted my first principle for him, lust
to help him through. I believe every
woman in Utah feels just as 1 do about
plural marriages. Believe in plural
marriages? OF course do. My church

chance"
Mrs Alice Horne, woman legislator,
is as pretty as wild flower and as
active and as graceful as one. 81 am a
great admirer of Mr.. Roberts, she de-
clared. He is a great man. I believe
in him. and I did all I could to elect
him. I hope he will take his seat. I
am not a plural wife. My people We're
all polygamists, but was married just
before the law against polygamy was
passed. Do believe in it? My religion
teaches me to do SO. My people be-
lieve in their religion and they try to
live it. I think some of the younger
Mormons are going away from the plu-
raj marriage idea, but one must live to
ones religion, no matter how much 1t
hurts"
That's the secret of the whole thing.
Mormon women are perfectly sincere
when they say that they believe in
polygamy.

The EXPLOITATION of Native Drama.

For so long a period that memory. of
man runneth not to the contrary, it has

gone, only to come again and then float
away mirage. And now it has come
again, this time, perhaps, a less nebulous
