Show SUPPOSED INTENDED E EMBARGO GO this little community in ill tile rocky mountain region is evi dently a genuine latter day phenomenon people are giving r themselves no end of trouble concerning us

imagine agine they must make a f i popular stroke in some sonic direction judging however from the results reul ts of gomilar efforts of other parties nothing will be gained by thus t sacrificing principle upon the ignoble altar of popular prejudice if it aft true that the idea of making any application of the tile prohibitory hibi tory law against the importation of chinese women to the united states for ini immoral moral purposes to tile IN mormon immigration has lifts bee been entertained the cabinet may as well atop stop short we hope for the w credit of so august and raid supposedly wise a body as ws the cabinet of the U S government governments that they have been misrepresented represented mia in the matter because of the absurd we might say ludicrous nature of the notion it must be clear to every mind that is not badly befogged that a law made with a specific intention and special application cannot I legally cg a I I y be diverted from its proposed channel the law in question was made specially to ba be applied to a certain class of chinese women mormon formon wo men who emigrate erni crate to the united states from froin abroad arc are not only t not
