Show Got a Mash A few days ago we received a lengthy circular containing matter enough to fill two columns of our paper purporting to come from the female publishers of the Anti Polygamy Standard of Salt Lake City the burden of which seemed to be an appeal for a few thousand dollars for the purchase of printing material etc and was addressed to the women of the United States Among other things the statement was made that the projectors wanted the contents of the circular to be brought to the notice of every woman in the land and suggested that editors should publish pub-lish the same to the furtherance of that end Our circulation being limited and far short of meeting the demand and knowing that boone bo-one else would publish it we thought of a plan for accomplishing the result and wrote as follows upon the bottom of the circular and returned it to the fair publishers publish-ers Get 40000000 of these circa lars printed and distribute them judiciously and you will probably prob-ably attain the end desired We expected thanks and a request re-quest for our photograph and were therefore severely shocked at receiving the following which however the poor dear creatures crea-tures forgot to date and sign but the envelope bore the Standard card and was postmarked Salt Lake city July 12 1883 330 p m It will be some time before we shall offer any more kindly advice to strange women if women It was who wrote these beautiful lines If it were not for the presence on Gods fair earth of just such libels on His image as you are there would be no need of such appeals to the Women of the United States no need of societies for the suppression of crime ignorance and bestiality of any kind Hayville NY Sentinel |
