TALKED OF MORMONS
+. A. Utter Says That They Sill
Practice Po'ygamy.
Reed Smcot Must Bow Down to
the Court
Courts and Judges Under The Rule
of His Class.
Influx of The Antis Will Only Change
Things.

f. A. Utter of Salt Lake City, who is
in the city on business connected with
mining interests in that state, had an
interesting conversation this morning
with Free Pres reporter respecting the
Mormons and their ideas. The talk
drifted in this direction from the Incl
dental mention of Senator Reed Smoot
The senator, he said, was admittedly an
exceptionally able man and if he could
/ church, would be as capable representa-
/ tive as the state could have in the up
per branch of the national legislature.
f. When his name was proposed for senator
. in the convention that nominated him,
he could not allow his name to be used
without first consulting the Mormon
president and two counsellors, to whom
he as one of the twelve Mormon apos-
ties is accountable.
When asked concerning the repudia-
, ton of polygamy by the church of Nor
mons, Mr.. Utter said this Reputation
was only temporary move. The church
had discontinued countenancing the prac
tice of polygamy owing to the fact that
it was against the law. This, however,
was only plan of avoiding trouble I'M
til the nation could be convinced of the
righteousness of polygamy, and when
this end was accomplished, the practice
of polygamy could be resumed. Poly
gamy was taught today in the church
in theory.
The older polygamists, Mr.. Utter said,
continued in the practice almost I'M
molested. Whenever complaint was made
against one of them he was simply ar
rested, pleaded guilty and was fined
500, only to 90 back home and continue
in the same practice.
In Salt Lake City, the majority of the
inhabitants are anti -Mormons but in the
state at large the Mormons still hold
the majority vote. Hence the courts
are subservient to the Mormon church,
and by the trifiing fines that are impos-
ed by the judges for the offense of poly
gamy, the sin is really licensed.
1t was only to obtain admission into
statehood that the Mormons legally re-
pudiated polygamy, but never intended
to give it up. They regard it as one
of their most scored religious duties.
Mr.. Utter thought polygamy would
die when the influx of people from other
parts of the country become sufficient
to turn the majority against the Nor
mons. The rapid development of mining
interests in the state, especially in cop
per, lead and silver region of the Beaver
lake district, would probably accom-
plish this in the not very distant future.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Curious Laws. Prevalent in Foreign
Countries,

There are many curious and interest
ing facts regarding the marriage and di
vorce laws of foreign countries" said R
j. Brown, who recently returned from g
trip abroad, where he made study Of
the question.
breaches of promise are averted in
Hungary by an express declaration of the
civil marriage act (lS95) that the rela.
tions created by bethrothal do not give
the right to command the conclusion of a
marriage, but if either party withdraws
from an engagement without just rea-
sons he or she is bound to grant COM

CURED. Divorce in the English sense
does not exist, but the courts can decree
the personal separation of a married
couple without dissolving the bonds of
matrimony.
"a curious law prevailing in France,
provides that, before being married, chill
dren of family, although over age, shall
seek in respectful and formal terms the
advice of their father and mother 1t
makes no difference, however, whether
the consent of parents is given, for the
couple can be married a month after I'M
der any circumstances. This is also the
case in the Netherlands.
"a divorce further entities the inno-
cent party to recover all the presents
he or she may have made.
According to the constitution of the
Netherlands, the civil marriage must al
ways precede the religious ceremony. The
latter, indeed, is left entirely to the
conscience of the parties concerned.
There is also a law providing that no
man or woman under thirty can marry
without the consent of parents. If the
consent be refused the couple have to
appear before a judge, who advises them
as he thinks best.
Many countries have now abolished
all marriage fees. This is the case in
Norway, while in the Netherlands GER

! a man in Iowa has invented a machine
which he solemnly declares will mill;
COW more thoroughly than it can be
done by hand, and with which he claims,
one person can do the work of five or six.
Whether this proclamation of the po-
etc unites shall be permitted to invade
Minnesota or not is a question now
trembling in the balance State Dairy
Commissioner w. w. p. Mcconnell has
gone to Iowa to witness a test of the
mechanical mixer, and to determine it's
practicability for use by the dairy
farmers of this state.
Thus far Mr.. Mcconnell knows of
the machine only through correspon-
dence, and there are several points of i'm
portance regarding its operation upon
which he is not informed. To The Globe
he said last evening.
1t is claimed for this machine by its
inventor that it enables two persons to
do the work of five OF six, and that as
the milk passes through tubes it is eff
fectively protected from all barn odors
and contamination from any source. The
machine is operated by two men, and it
is asserted that with one of these APP
planes two men can milk eighty COWS
regularly and also look after their feed
ing and give them such other care as is
necessary.
If that is all true and the machine
is otherwise practicable it will be a
great boon to the dairy farmers of this
state, for now their greatest trouble is
the labor problem. There are dozens of
our most prominent dairymen who have
quit business merely because of their
in getting hired help, and
others are cutting down their herds for
the same reason 1t ruins a cow for
dairy purposes to have one person milk
her today and another tomorrow, and
the rapid changes in help soon make the
business Improbable.
The machine is to be tested on thirty
five cows as soon as possible after l ar
rive, and l shall then learn whether it
is practicable or not. We may find tn
it is too expensive for the Minnesota
farmers to buy, or it may be that there
will be difficulties discovered in keeping
it clean. [ understand that it is neces-
sary to use rubber tubes, and I don't
know how complicated the machinery is
