the team might be driven in slowly. The
offer was accepted. the mail reaching
South Woodstock practically on time and
the stage arriving about an hour late.
Saturday there was further trouble, and
on arrival at South Woodstock the driver
remarked to the postmaster that he didn
think he could get those horses to Wood
stock. The postmaster asked what seemed

the driver replied that in going down hill
the animals would fall to their knees and
it was necessary to whip them to get
them Up. The horses were left at the
Kedron Tavern stables over Sunday.

DIVORCE AND PoLYGAMY.

Under this caption the Kansas City
World OF May Il, m a leading editorial
discusses current subject and comes
to the logical conclusion that the poly
gamy practiced in this country under
the existing divorce laws, is a greater
evil than any violations Of laws. that
have been charged against citizens Of
Utah. The World says;
"The clergy Of the Episcopal, Pres.
byteran and Methodist churches In this
country are alike interested and joint
committee representing the various
churches is to meet In Los Angeles,
Cal, May 20, TO recommend some uni
form attitude for ministers TO take re-
garding the remarrlage OF divorced
persons IL Is quite certain that as a.
result the lines will be more closely
drawn.
"The Detroit conference Of the Ma
tional Congress Of Mothers gave the
question prominent place In It's discus
sions. These estimable women took a
narrow view Of the matter, however,
and c0ntented themselves with demand
ing uniform laws, without defining the
law as It ought TO be, and with de-
nouncng polygamy in Utah.

1T Is 10 be regretted that the mothers
were not more definite IN their de-
mands Denunclation Of polygamy in
Utah. where legal polygamy no longer
exists, is hardly TO the point.
"Denunciatlon Of the consecutive
polygamy, which legally exists In every
state in the Union outside Of Utah
would have been more timely and eff
fective.
Indeed, OF the two, consecutive
polygamy, as carried on In all the
states, under sanction OF law, is more
productive OF present evil and lmmor-
allty and more dangerous TO the future
Of the nation than is the simultaneous
polygamy That may be carried on In
violation Of the laws Of Utah.
statistics have shown that more

the lHllcu SthteS are procured TOT HI-
mediate remarriage 10 another person
already selected.
What condition could be imagined
with a stronger and more steady ten
dency to undermine the home and TO
cause to be held lightly the ties that
should be held as the most sacred on
earth?
"Courtship and engagement OF per-
sons already married Is a crime and
scandal 10 which the law should no
longer be an accessory. The mothers
OF the land need 20 worry less over sup
posed polygamy in Utah than over this
open, legalized consecutive polygamy
that is going on In every state.
Mothers may well look with dread
upon the future Of their daughters
while a pOlygamy so widespread and a
morality so lax prevails outside Utah
and is finding its victims IN annually
increasing thousands IN every plane OF
society.
Until there Is a divorce law In every
state forbddlng remarriage OF divorced
persons except under certain strictly
prescribed conditions polygamy win
continue to flourish throughout the
