And all this row has boon mado over 74 old people who are living in tho relation re-lation they entered Into yenrs and years ago, and who, In tho course of a very fow years must, In tho natural order of things, pass away. Salt Lake has a population of approximately 75,000. Thoro are fow cities In tho United States which could mako n better bet-ter showing on tho polygamy question than Salt Lake, oven not counting those in other cltois who practico polygamy po-lygamy on tho European plan. It Is evident to anybody who has any sonso of fairness and justice and reasonable perception that polygamy In Utah Is a thing of tho past, and in a very fow years will bo extinct. Thoro is no fairness fair-ness nor honesty In tho war that Is bolng waged on Utah. Tho worst thing about this war is that It is waged by pcoplo who Hvo In Utah and should help to build up instead of tear down. And all this row about 74 old polygamists, many of them tottering on tho brink of tho grave! 'It's astonishing aston-ishing to what extent a fow charlatans can fool the pcoplo. |
