as otherwise but the same startling result is manifest also in california according to the following from the oakland transcript 1 anici pt of july 9 can anybody give the reason for tho the disparity in numbers between the sexes born into the world for instance in san francisco there are more girls than boys be tween the ages of five and seventeen years yeam in oakland between the same ages there are more f girls than boys about the same average is is observable in sacramento and other towns in the state now why is this thi s thus how are all these girls gilsto to get husbands unless they emigrate to oudom add to this the statement made in n the old world and also in the new world both on the atlantic and pacific slopes that the girls amm ame showing themselves really apter and si

mormonism or at least its supposed obnoxious features still contends that the let alone policy is far the wisest and reasons in this way what to us is an absurd immoral anachronism is to these people a part of their religion they insist that any interference with it will be an infringement of a cons titu dional guaranty will be to set on foot a religious persecution of course this claim of theirs is illogical and all that but it is put forward in perfect good faith and itis not without a certain force it adds to the awkwardness of an awkward situation then too t they ey remind us that utah

abiding of all the territories for two years and more they have been practically without courts through no fault as they claim ot of their own it has been impossible to get a case tried except by mutual agreement of th the e parties to waive all irregularities yet life and property have been as safe as in massachusetts they are not to blame they argue either for the annexation of their home to
