SALT LAKE Cry, UTAH, March Il
President Joseph +. Smith, OF th'
Mormon Church, is being hailed as I
king among men and as the mos
splendid type Of Gods manhood" to
day by the plural wives and thu
polygamous ~churchmen of Utah.
At the head Of an army Of plurall
who are supporting Smith, is Mrs
Maggie Shipp-R Roberts, the plural
wife Of Brigham II. Roberts, who was
expelled from Congress because he
had too many wives.
"Do you believe that polygamy Is
divine a President Smith says, and
do you indorse his stand that the hus.
bands should not desert their plural
wives?" she was asked. Mrs. Roberts
did not hesitate a moment.
II am glad 10 be able to put myself
on record On that proposition" she
exclaimed. 81 certaingly would never
have accepted polygamy unless l be-
lieyed that Ii was divine and a direct
command from God. | SO hold and
shall neverdepart from that view. Ii
| were a man | would be ~Incarcerated
forever and give my life before l
would desert my plural wives.,
Mrs. Juliena Smith, the third wife
of President Smith, went Mrs. Rob-
erts one better. She said:
II do not believe that polygamy is
divine. ] know IL is. IL comes from
God. There can be no question Of
that. l endorse all my husband has
said and all he will say, for he is a
man OF truth, OF course, no true
nan will desert his plural wiyes.n
Mrs. Edna Smith is the first wife OF
the Mormon chief.
"0f course, polygamy Is divine 1t
is a God-given covenant and is accept
ed as such. l do not care to discuss
the issue except to say that l endorse
that my husband has said on the
subject. l uphold every word that he
and believe like he does that 1t
would be cowardly t odesert the plural
wives.n
Mrs. Josephine Smith, second wife
Of Apostle Henry Smith, said:
II believe that polygamy is divine
and l accept every word OF the reveal. !,

Secretary Dixie, of the National
League for the Protection of the Fam
lily, has supplied new summary of
the reasons for uniformity Of divorce
laws throughout all the States, and
uniformity Is to be gained, he con-
tends. by concerted action of the sew
eral States, not by national legisa-
ton.
Congress cannot pass a divorce law
until the federal constitution has been
amended. and amendment to the fed.
eral constitution is next to the impos-
sible. Besides. there appears no good
reason why the national government
should do for the States what the
