Polygamy is just a8 pure in Utah as it could have been in the promised land. Love and virtue are the same tbe world over, and justice is the same in every state All the languages of the world are not suffieient to express the filth of polygamy. It makeB of man a beast, of woman a trembling slave. It destroys the fireside, makes virtue an outcast, takes from speech its sweetest words and leaves the heart a den where crawl and hiss the slimy serpents of the most loathsome lust. Civil.zation rest upon the family. The good family is the unit of good government. The virtues grow abont the holy hearth at home - they cluster, bloom and shed their perfumes around the fireside where the one man loves the one woman. Love - husband - wife - mother - father - child - home - without these words the world is but a lair, and men and women merely beasts,- Bob Ingersoll .
