the admission of oC the state slate to the Union could find some some soine way wa In reason and in nature to forego the further observations of their rule But BUl we realize that a condition of or

Antl if the they can find in nature and In reason no noway noway noway way out of or th the tho situation which embarrasses their friends we wo prefer to per per- mit mil t polygamy In these old men mell an and old women who entered that state before the manifesto If Ie these constituted tenths nine of oC the Mormon people the problem would be bo different But there was never a a. time limo even before beCore the enactment of or the tho first statute against pol polygamy gam when third one-third of oC the adult male membership membership mem mem- of or the tho Mormon church was living In
