MORMONs AkRAIGNED.
GentiIes Reply te the Appeal to the Psopie
Made by Roberts.

Washington, Dec. "a reply to
Roberts address to the American peo-
pie was given out yesterday by dele
gaTiOn representing the Gentle element
in Utah. which is here 10 oppose ROD
erts. The pith of the reply il as fol
lows:
Mr.. Roberts denies and we assert
that the compact between Itah ana
the other states has been violated.
That compact was evidenced by many
public acts as follows: First-By the
manifesto OF the Mormon church III
1890, which by their leading men was
interpreted under oath TO prohibit the
continuance of polygamous relations
as well as the contracting of new mar
riageS. Secondly the Utah legisla-
ture, which in 1892 made unlawful
cohabitation as well as pOlygamy
crimes against the territory. Third
BY the solemn pledges of the apostles
of this alleged church that these laws
would be obeyed and enforced.
Claim of . Conclusive Showing.
"Fourth-By the declarations made
by prominent citizens of Utah before,
the congressional committee having the
the enabling act under consideration.
where also, the foregoing evidences
and statements were used to secure
statehood, F'ifth-By the declaration
in the constitution of Utah that poly
gamous marriages shall be forever pro-
uibited. Sixth-The act OF the constl-
tutional convention continuing in force
the territorial laws Furnishing unlaw-
full cohabitatiOn as well as polygany,
OF which convention MIR. Roberts was
a member All these public acts com
bined show conclusively that the com
pact includes the discOntinuance of old
7 poIygamouS relations. as well as the
prevention of new ones.
Evidence of q Broken Compact.
LAS evidence that this compact has
been broken we point to the following:
..First-That in Utah 1000 illegiti-
mate children have been born to poly
gamous wives since statehood.
Second-That about 1000 pOlygam-
ous households now exist in Utah. and
that the attempt to secure punish
ment of these offenders is denounced
by the majority, as we believe, OF
Utah's citizens.
.HThird-That the circumstantial evil
dence Enthusiastically points to the ex-
istence of new wives in polySamouS
households. the most conspicuous eX-
amples of which are the cases or

The Best Man

Doubtless few people Know the
origin of the custom of having a
chest man" at every fashionable
wedding. The Woman's Home
Journal tells why and when the
practice began:
While we smile at the wife-steal-
ing propensities of the savage or
half-savage nations, we cherish as
our dearest form a custom that had
its direct origin in this very self
same practice. The chest man, 3"
who plays SO important a part in
we'll ,egulated marriages that now
adays have any pretense at all to
the fashionable. once on a time in
Sweden occupied position that
was useful as we'll as ornamental.
In the old days the Swedish groom
found it desirable, in fact, to have
several 'Ebest men" to defend him
from the assault of rivals and pre-
vent them from carrying away his
bride. The Scandinavian warrior
Of ancient times was far too lofty
in his ideas to condescend to plead
for a maIden's hand. SO he pa
tiently waited until some other man
VINO was more Sallanl nau oOlalnSd
the fair ones consent. Then when
all the details had been nicely ar
ranged, the proud warrior, with a
body OF wei trained reta:ners,
dashed down on the wedding party,
and, if strong enough, carried away
the bride. The "best men" (and it
was very essential that they should
be the best men in those days,
therefore became necessary fixtures
to the marriage ceremony, and they
we're so we'll esteemed and their
popularity became SO permanent
IL s a VIII en- Tx reason for their eX
istence was removed they were still
retained. Hence, the custom Is
preserved in the chest man" OF
today.
