hampered and INSTRUCTED by the heavy
burden imposed on the government
through the intrenched and well-under-
stood abuses which have grown in con-
nection with second-class mail matter.
The extent of this burden appears when 1t
IS stated that. while the second-class mat
ter makes nearly three-f1fths of the weight
of all the mail, 1t paid for the last fiscal
year only 8, 294 .445 Of the aggregate postal
revenue of Sill, 691 1913. If the pound rate
OF postage. which produces the large loss
thus entailed and which was fixed by the
congress with the purpose of encouraging
the dissemination of public information.
were limited to the legitimate newspapers
and periodicals actually contemplated by
the law, no just exception could be taken.
That expense would be the recognized and
accepted cost of liberal public policy de-
iiberately adopted for a. justifiable end.
But much of the matter which enjoys the
privileged rate is wholly outside of the
intent OF the law and has secured admis-
sion only through an evasion of its re-
quirements or through lax construction.
The proportion of such wrongly included
matter is estimated by postal experts to
class mail. If 1t be only one-third or one
quarter. the magnitude Of the burden Is
apparent. The post Office department has
now undertaken to remove the abuses so
far as is possible by stricted application
OF the law. and it should be sustained in
Its effort.

THE MORMON FAITH.
Polgamy Still Is Its Keynote and
Strongest Hold.
So Says DR.. Sarah Elliott Whe IL
About to Make d Tour for the Pur-
pose of Spreading Antf-Polyg-
amy Propaganda.

DR.. Sarah J. Elliott, of Utah, is
about to make a tour of Colorado for
the purpose of spreading an anti
polygamy propaganda. She is
deaconess of the Episcopal church.
and is lecturing for the league that is
urging constitutional amendment to
prohibit polygamy.
1.-Two thousand Mormon elder
priests said DIR. Elliott. to a New
York World correspondent, "are now
in every state and territory of the
union, seeking by disappearing
the actual conditions and teachings of
the Mormon faith to create outside of
Utah public sentiment more advan-
tageous to the system than it could
possibly secure if the whole truth
were known. In view of these and
many similar facts, am appealing to
the patriotic women of. our country
who successfully labored to prevent
a polygamist from entering congress.
I'm Utah there is no separation of
church and state. The church of the
Latter Day Saints, or the Mormon
church, is so magniticently organized
they are prepared to work anywhere.
The subject of polygamy is never men
toned in the missionary work of the
elders, who are sent out all over the
world to make converts; but when the
women and girls are landed in Salt
Lake they are informed that only
through marriage can their souls be
saved, and blindly they walk into the
trap. In every other state polygamy
is degradation, while in Utah it is
an exaltation. The Mormon's system
of ethics has produced abnormal
women.
/ "a premium of 100 acres of land is
offered as an inducement to women
and young girls to leave their homes
and country and settle in Utah; in
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1901-12-06

this manner many tracts of land are
acquired by the man who marries four
or more wives. 1t was generally sup
posed that the unseating of Roberts
in congress would be a deathblow to
pojlygamy, but this is mistaken idea,
as the power of the Mormon church is
growing stronger all the time. AS
Senator Hoar remarked, there is
growing in Utah a power so great that
unless we check it now the time will
come when we will have to fall down
and worship it.
MANY years ago, when George Q.
Cannon was Indignantly turned down
in congress and returned to Utah,
Brigham Young, in his sermon to his
followers in the tabernacle, said:
Never mind; we will have voice yet
in the American congress and force
,polygamy down their throats.'
''In violation of the pledges of Nor
mon leaders made before statehood,
the president of the Mormon church
is now living publicly in his official
residence in Salt Lake City with the
last acquisition to his polygamous
household. An effort to secure his
prosecution has failed. Many who at
first obeyed the law and ceased their
unlawful cohabitation have followed
the presidents example and resumed
their Polygamous relationships, and
are having children by plural wives.
''This polygamous element is the
dominant power in the church and in
the politics of the state, as public
sentiment against the state laws
makes them practically unenforceable.
1t is almost impossible to induce Off
Gals elected by Mormon votes to en-
force the law. The polygamons priest
hood, thoroughly organized, directs
the conscience of the Mormon people,
and through political influence thus
acquired controls the official conduct
of the Office holders
Not only have number resumed
polygamous relationship, but the best
of circnmstantial evidence points to
the unmistakable conclusion that
Apostles John w. Taylor, George
Teasdale, the late Apostle Abram H.
Cannon and other prominent Mormon
ecclesiastics have taken new plural
wives. -.--.
THE only certain check upon the
progress of this evil is found in bring
ing polygamy within the jurisdiction
of the federal courts, whose officers
will owe no political obligation to the
influential criminals whom they will
be called upon to prosecute for this
class of offenses." y * -

the leading nations of the world. The
nineteenth century was that of the
British empire; the twentieth is that
of the American republic
''The full import of this shifting of
international gravity is as yet but
dimly appreciated by the citizens of
the republic and is resented rather
than recognized by the subjects of the
king. We stand on the threshold of
new era, pregnant with immense pos
sibilities for veal or woe, not merely
for those who speak the English Ian
guage, but for all the children of men,
not only in this island, but in the far
thest seas too remote to feel the eff
feet Of the change in the relative posi-
ton of Great Britain and the United
States.
Among all nations, peoples, kin
dreds and tongues the slow ascent of
the stars and stripes over the union
jack is recognized portent to some
of deliverance and hope, to others Of
decadence and DOOM"
Mr.. Stead promises incidentally to
discuss 1.-THE probable effect of the law
of gravitation on the loosely compact
ed congeries of commonwealth which
in the nineteenth century belonged to
the British empire, but which may in
the twentieth gravitate to the repub-
lie which now promises to become the
center Of the political system of our
race"
Mr.. Stead does not think that the
world will be damaged. America

Jus, restless energy and 1imitless re-
sources of the continent at the dispos-
al of the whole human family"
