Show Tney Do It, "All the Same." The Salt Lake Democrat says "the people of Utah are anxious to spread the idea that the law against unlawful cohabitation co-habitation is being fully enforced. So it is as far as the Courts can enforce it with their present prosecuting force, but the people of Utah are violating the Edmunds law more extensively than the Courts can enforce it under the circumstances." And this is true. In fact, a Mormon, well known in this section, said in the hearing of the writer during the past week. "They (the Gentiles) may try and convict and imprison a dozen or- two . of our people, peo-ple, but we have ten to their one, who are marrying two or more women, and the crop of babies will keep us ahead by a good majority."
