Editor Deseret News:
Mr. Editor VIII you kindly permit me
to ask Mrs. Elizabeth Cohen few per-
tineut questions by way OF an open let
ter through the columns Of the Deseret
News?
Mrs. Elizabeth Cohen. on reading the
Appeal" that YOU have sent to the
women Of Illinois. you say the "Wom-
ans American club, and the gentle
women of Utah generally" Do you
mean TO tell us that the nom Mormon
women of the state have authorized you
10 act for them in your trying to inter-
fere with the rights OF the citizens OF
the state of Illinois? II such IL the case,
please tell us the names of those gem
tile ladies' of Utah; show that you are
not assuming this privilege yourself
without being authorized by anyone,
except 1t may be those of your own par
~.
Is 1t not true. that the people of this
state, the Mormon people. have In years
gone by been your best friends? Have
you not stated that when you were not
in as fiourisbing condition as you
now are, you partook Of their friend
ship, in short, that they were the most
sympathizing people you had ever met,
and that you would never forget their
kindness? Perhaps your memory is
treacherOus.
Is It not fact that you were elected
treasurer of the Womans Democratic
club in 1899, the greater number of the
members being Mormons?
Were you not again honored by them
and elected president of the club in
1900 and again in 1901.
Was ii not in October, on the 10th
day, that, after Introducing Mr.. j. G.
LeaTy to the club as the next mayor
of Salt Lake. and by so doing gave him
reason to believe that you would sup
port him at the polls. and directly after
he left, you presented your resignation
and demanded that it be accepted
And thus deserted your post a short
time before election.
Didn't you do this SO that you could
work for the Republican nominee, Ezra
Thompson?
a few months after YOU came back
to the club and declared you were 4
good Democrat. Were you not given
S75 or 800 from the state Democratic
fund, when, at your husbands request,
you were sent to organize clubs? The
money was to enable you to dress fl
tingly for the occasion. and were you
not again honored by being elected
president of the club in the year 1908 ?
After all your professions Of being a
thorough. true Democrat, did you not
again desert your friends who had
shown you so much friendship on the
9th of October. just before election.
this time to join the so-called Amer
can party. that is in direct opposition
to the time-honored American primer
pies established by the fathers Of liber-

You say you are las good a Demo-
crat as ever" Can you find anything
in the life of Jefferson to show that
he ever jumped from one party to an
other, or that he ever deserted his post

TO whom II may concern; We, the
undersigned, women residents OF the

Mormon Church, do hereby respect
fully register our protest against rep
reservations made in certain Appeal
TO the Women of illinois, signed by
Mrs Elizabeth Cohen and Mrs Hottie
l<idder, of Salt Lake City, to the eff
feet that the so-callcd gentle women
of Utah generally presume to inter-

that each state should be left to solve
It's own problems. without interference
by citizens Of any other state.
1--WE protest against the insinuation
In the Appeal that the so-called gem
tile women of Utah censure any SEM
ator for casting opprobrium upon the
acts Of those who We're responsible for
the tragedy OF Carthage We hold
that murder can never be anything
but a hideous crime in the sight Of the
Almighty. We deplore persecution in
any form. knowing that though the
victims OF persecution sometimes are
far from right, the prosecutors are al
ways wrong,
Finally we do not recognize the
right OF the signers of the so-calcd
Appeal to speak for any considerable

And lot me tell you. no gentle. ten

any loving mother would 80 far forget
her obligations, neither would she sully
the name OF woman, by publishing base
talsehoods: by villifying and ruisrep-
reSeuting those who had once been her
friends and saved her from suffering;
neither would she ever permit herself to
seek TO bring trouble upon loving moth
ers and children of those who. afore
time befliended ana kept from suffering
herself and her children; yet as YOU
have stated you do not believe in n
supreme Being, you cannot realize the
consequence OF your acts; your having
been blessed by nature with intelligence
and through your ambitious nature
somewhat fanatical.

Is il not true that your avOwed pur-
pose In coming here was TO help drive
the Mormons from their homes. as you
ha We been reported by your associates
Would any delicate, refined lady. such
as you have professed to be. gloat over
wrongs and murders that were commit

innocent people were made to suffer?

the ladies OF Illinois, and tell them It is

quest not the request of the respectable

THOUGHT ALL SAW DOUBLE.
Wife of Kansas Cattieman Has Queer
Experience-Cure Finally Effected.

A remarkable story, according to the
Kansas City Journal, can be verified by
a we'll known oculist in Kansas City.
In one OF the counties of western
Kansas is a cattleman who has grown
wealthy. His wife,, Q charming woman
or some 40 year recently began To
have severe headaches. A local physi-
clan decided that the trouble was with
her eyes. The family could not believe
it, as she had very keen sight from
both far and near. However, the hus-
City for expert examination. In the
course OF the examination the profess
sional man held up a candle and asked
her what she saw. II see the two
lights" she answered calmly. 'Two!"
exclaimed the surprised husband.
'Have you always seen two of me
when you looked at me?" why, GER
tainly, dear" vas the answer. Don't
you always see two of me?"
And hen came the revelation that
this educated, intelligent woman has
never known In all her 40 years of life
that everybody didn't see double. She
had accepted her own condition as a
matter of course 1t instantly account
ed to the husband for little indefinite
movements which he had frequently
observed in his wife when she was
reaching for an object, and il was a
matter of great establishment to the
woman when by an adjustment OF
glasses and through treatment she be-
gan to see as other people do.

CURED one hot July day down in Wash

the day before, the thermometer was how
ering about the So mark n both clubs
were pretty well tagged out. But we
played the game for keeps just the same,
THE Washington club knocked Waddell
out of the box and / sent In Bender, who
had a great year then, n the Nationals
hit Bender, too.
Finally, when in the last or next to the
last inning, with Washington leading us
and all our men dead on their feet, Sey-
bold became affected by the heat and re-
tired from the game, i sent in young
Armbruster to bat for Socks. With
Harry Davis on first base, and Washing
ton having the game sewed up that kid
got on to one or Tom Hughes curves and
laced the ball out toward job Anderson,
in left field. Just as John came in to take
the ball on the first bound, it struck a
billy place in the outfield and, bounding
over his shoulder, rolled away a to the
fence. Armbruster chased Harry Davis
over the plate on his home run n we
won the game"
