In the Century, the “ Legal Aspects of the Mormon Problem* are discussed by Arthur G, Sedgwick, who concludes m follows: The faifttreof the attempt to break up the Mormon system by Congressional legislation does not, by any means/ show that the Mormon system will ultimately prevail in Utah.

A strong tendency ip the direction of aganjagw between Gentile mea and the daughters of Mormon par ents most spring up. Indeed, this is aaid to show itself already.
