The discussion of the resolutions
treatment of the st. Louis fair was
modified from it's first form, which pro
posed to ask President Francis to de-
mand of the mayor and city council Of
st. Louis that no immoral houses be
permitted within one mile of the fair
grounds.
Longer discussion was given to the
polygamy clause and its final limit was
fixed after an Oklahoma delegate OBJ
jected to the clause that no more states
be admitted to the Union until an anti
polygamy amendment has been added
to the constitution.
Mrs. Weed insisted that Reed Smoot
senator from Utah, was determined to
uphold the policy and doctrine of the
Mormon church, which is the over
throw OF the government and the sub
stitution of another government under
the Mormon church. The resolutions
as adopted follow:
Recognizing today, as in the crusade
days, the divine cali to the women of
America to unite into organized and con-
certed endeavor to free our country from
the tyranny of the legalized liquor traffic,
and relying upon the crusade spirit in di-
vine source of all good for strength and
courage and patience in responding to
this CALL the National Wonlan's Chris
tan Temperance union reaffirms belief in
it's loyalty to the following fundamental
principles:
"Since our work is one of formation.
as well as one of reformation, we stand
firmly for total abstinence for the in
dividual. Believing that the liquor traf-
fic is morally wrong, and, therefore can
never be made legally right, we oppose
all forms of regulation and again pledge
to eHdeav9 res G secure ceg sHae
prohibition. We stand for an equal code
of morals for women and men and en-
phatically condemn every system for the
regulation of vice.
s'PaSOlNp6 That We raiOioa in the clos
ing of the gates of the worlds fair on
Sunday and in other efforts being made
to purify ST. Louis and that we memorial
ize the mayor and city council to make
special effort to enforce the laws of the
city against houses. used for immoral pur-
poses during the fair.
1--WE believe that all the women Of
the United States should vote on equal
terms with men as in Wyoming, Colorado
Idaho and Utah.
I'VE believe that polygamy is both
taught and practiced in the United States,
and that there is abundant proof to sub
stantiate the claim that Utah has broken
faith with the United States in this
matter. We ask congress to provide for
an amendment to the constitution of the
United States forever prohibiting
polygamy. We also declare that an apos-
tie of the Mormon hierarchy cannot be
loyal citizen of this republic because of
his vows to another organization, sepa-
rate and distinct from the United States
of America and not subordinate to 1t.
but claiming superiority over IT, we
therefore ask that Reed Smoot be ex-
Guided from the United States senate on
the ground that his highest allegiance is
given to a government other than that Of
the United States. We believe this is to
be civil question which should not be
obscured by religious or ecclesiastical
claims.
Resolved, That we authorize our pres
ident and secretary to memorialize con-
gress for an anti-poly amendment to
the constitution of the United States, in
furtherance of which We urge educa-
tional methods in every state as looking
toward the confirmation Of this con-
gressional act
"Resolved That we memorialize the
congress of the United States to prohibit
the importation of opium into the Philip
pine islands.
