Vale Mormon!
The Antj-POlygamy League Sounds the

The An1-POlygamy League Sounds the
Knell of the Plural Marriage.
If II be true, as reported, that i've
hundred young Mormons who are not
polygamiSts have become so stirred
up by the revelations of President
Smith that they demand that the
polygamous relations of officers of the
church be abandoned, the sentiment of
the East regarding the population Of
Utah viii be likely to change some
what. 1t is said that these young
MormOns threaten to get out of the
church unless polygamy is once foI
ell dissociated from it.
This IS just what might have been
expected to happen in the State of
Utah in course of time, and it is en-
eouraging to have it happen so soon.
In country so permeated with the
spirit of progress as ours, it has been
practically certain for many years
that when the fashion of monogamv
once came into Salt Lake City it
would be but a few years before all
the younger households should be con
strueted on that basis, and the polyg-
amous family regarded as archaic ant
ridiculous. The ridicule which j
heaped upon the Mormon with plural
wives, in newspaper articles, IN car
toons, in jokes, constitutes a force
which the younger members of the
church cannot withstand if they
would. This ridicule, owing to the $50
lation Of the Territory, did not pene-
trate the old-time community of Salt
Lake City; but with modern daily
newspapers and books, and young
people educated at Gentle schools, It
becomes a serious factor in the mold
ing Of public opinion. There is moth
ing to which the average American Is
more amenabla than the fear Of max
ing himself absurd and are the young
Molmons going to pose willingly be-
fore the world as husbands of numer-
Gus wives, with children too numerous
to mention, and be regarded with
humorous pity by their business asso-
eiates as men obliged to buy boDnets
