from the Eastern religious and secular

That infamous utterance from the

spired by the hierarchy, and which was
quoted by the Deseret News as a de
fense," has aroused a feeling of indig-
nation which Will not be stllled until
punishment is meted out
This Nation Is determined that the
fraudulent polygamy Of today shall not
DC continued as a menace to the dignity
and welfare OF Mormon girls. And II
Is even more determined that the po-

nounce infamous condemnation upon
