Ell PAso, Tex. Feb. 37.-Nowhere except
among the Mormon colonies in Mexico
can Mormonism In its original phases now
be found and studied. One Of the effects
OF the Edmunds act was to gag 10 great
extent the Mormops In the United States
and to influence them to adopt policy
OF discrimination.
In MEXICO il is different. There they are
without fear OF arrest and imprisonment.
and they talk and act without the same
restraint as In the United States.
The information here given about the
Mormon colonies in Mexico was obtained
while the writer lived among them seek
ing restoration of health through change
of climate. There being then no hotels
among the colonies, lived as a member
of various households, some eight or ten

colonies except one.i

be any material oonoealment OF the details
Of thsir household and social life. They
are simple minded. open, frank.
They answered my questions readily and
freely. and often with an express purpose
to convert me to their own belief. Every
Mormon ia a missionary wherever you
ind him. To preach his gospel is a relig-
ious duty.
When the Edmunds act went into effect,
the polygamous Mormons and they
were but q small percentage OF all the
Normons In the United States-had three
COURSES open to them; first. the man with
two or more wives might cease marital
relations with all except one, obeyins
the Edmunds>law in good faith; or. second,
he might endeavor to continue those
polyeamous relations clandestinely, taking
his chances OF arrest and imprisonment
or, third. he might remove his several
families to some locality where the Ed
munds act was not likely to be enforced,
or where 1t did not apply.
Many polygamous Mormons adopted
the second course. Many others were not
willing TO abandon their plural wives.
In looking about for q locality where they
could continue their polygamous relations
unmolested, their eyes naturally turned

thing necessary TO successful home building

But what about polygamy? Do they
practice polygamy In Mexico?"
They do. That is what they went there
for. They not only practise polygamy
but they practise it openly, and without
the least effort at concealment
During the eight months Of my stay
among the Mormon colonies l lived in no
fewer than six polygamous households.
In one case two wives lived under the same
roof, and third in another colony. The
husband had been convicted under the

On one occasion when was introduced

WAS told that the proportion Of
polygamous Mormons In the colonies in
Mexico was much larger than II ever was
in Utah. My recollection is that an esti-
mata of 10 per cent. of polygamists was
given for the Mormons in Mexico. This
Is to be expected, because the colonies
were founded expressly as refuge for
polygamous Mormons
I was also told that the proportion OF
polygamous Mormons In Mexico was gradu-
ally decrea ing, because the younger gen.
Grafton were not contracting polygamous
marriages, and many Of the new Corners
from the States were monogamists. One
Young man, a son OF father having several
wives, said TO me emphatically:
-Polygamy has got to go!'
This brings US TO the question, Are polyga-
nous marriages being contracted among
the Mormons in Mexico?
I do not positively know. When ques-
toned on this point the Mormons there
always denyit. heard Of one case which
thought authentic, and ] asked church
official about IL. He admitted that the man

Canaan.
Representatives OF the Church were
therefore despatched to the City OF Mexico,
and, so the Mormons told me, obtained
assurance from the Mexican Government
that IL the polygamous Mormons colonized
in Mexico and lived peaceable, inonensive
lives. obeying the other laws Of the country;
their family relations would not be PRED
into by the Mexican authorities.
Having obtained what they deemed
satisfactory assurances the Mormons pur-
chased several large tracts q land in the
western part Of the State of Chihuahua
and established half dozen colonies there.
The nearest OF these colonies is about l5o
