rhe Fioht AGAINST Polyaamy,

Editor The Evening Journal.
The result of the four-year fight to
oust Reed Smoot, Of Utah, from the
United States Senate, to which august
body he had been legally elected,
should convince the people OF this
country that the method employed TO
fight polygamy was unwise. An ex-
animation of the final vote upon the
resolution to oust the Senator discloscs
the fact that the resolution was sup
ported mainly by Southern men. The
chief cause of this support is the char
acteristic gallantry Of the Southron.
Respect in the South for womankind
cannot be excelled anywhere In the
world, and, in my opinion, Il Is doubt
ful whether II can be equaled. This
fight against poiygamy was inaugural
ed by women, and the men OF the
South promptly and naturally cham
pioned the cause and fought for II more
out OF regard for womanhood than for
the permanent maintenance OF the
principles which lie at the foundation
Of our form OF government.
The fight against polygamy must be
conducted along other lines. It was
shown during the discussion ia the
Senate that Mormonism is spreading
and that It has great power and iniu-
+ tence in other States. If this power is
60 be checked II must be by mission
airy work. Let the women concentrate
their efforts in spreading the Christian
religion in the enemy's camp and there
win be no need OF appealing TO Con-
gress. Yours truly,
