n Il hard to believe that a man wrote

I'M that any Of the women employed

\, Inspect due one who has devoted a
se lie to noble effort on behalf Of
omen compelled to work for livell-
,,,s It was not a gentleman who
s,rg this obscene insult at Miss An
itoay. and no woman could have done
81 The conclusion that the paragraph
"a, written by a sexless hybrid or an
.,.sponslble fool Is inevitable. The
circumstance that the Chronicle per-
r,ted Il 10 appear In It's editorial coll
INN, Is wholly aside from the question
a Ms decency or propriety The Chron-
M has printed similar insults to pure
vonsnhood, and will probably contin-
d, to print them as long as the owner
Of that paper can hire writers men
tally and morally as degenerate as the
Nrert who wrote this cruel and un-
ga slur against the womanhood OF
susan B. Anthony.
The animas OF the paragraph quoted
ivn the editorial columns OF the
Chronicle lies IN the belief Of that
uaspaper that Polygamist Roberts
an Be- deprived Of his seat In Congress
rp0n presentation OF the charge that
d Is immoral and that his election 20
Congress was an attack upon the
i9nety Of the home" Miss Anthony
tserted that II this view OF the UNI
fitness VI Roberts would prevail others
,elies the representative Of the SOY.
ten STATE OF Utah would be deprived
q he right TO sit with the lawmakers
u the nation. She advised that If a
standard Of moral fitness was to be es-
ubllsh We might purge our intent Of
De cleansing Of our legislatures OF
men who, while protesting the utmost
hluor Of such open and honest polyg-
any as that practlced by Roberts OF
uah, widowed in the filth Of a polyg-
any thousand times more menacing
% The saDcity Of the home" than is
wuntenanced by the Mormon canon
tctIblng a divine permission to marry
nnp than one wife.
Mss Anthony's postulate Is unas-
tillabe. She arraigns every adulterous
ap0nent OF Roberts and she forces
every protesting Christian who has
lsned antl-Roberts petitions TO impale
Anself on either horn Of a dilemma
ioo,ed In the proposition that polygamy
kN Is not a divine injunction plainly
iesoIded In the only authority ac-
kiovedged by the schoolmen OF the
VliisIlan theology, These Christians
w not dare 20 say that their God has
changed his mind concerning polygamy

elgalny Of the patrlarchs and favored
