MORMONS PLANNING
INVASION OF MEXICO

Guadalajara, Mexico, Sept. 2.-Ths
Mormons are planning an invasion OF
Mexico. Sometime ago they purchas-
ed, for colonization a large
tract of land in the state OF Mexico,
and another in the state of Oaxaca.
and within the last few days they
have closed a lei for 100000 acres
of rich land in the Fuerte river val
ley in the state Of Sinaloa. 1t Is said
to be the plan to send $4,000 Nor
mon families from Utah, Colorado
and Nevada into Mexico.
A short time g Mormon interests
secured from the Mexican govern
ment a concession covering the manu-
facture of e ugar in Mexico. 1t
is proposed to at once inves $780,
900 gold in the industry.
Mormon Investigations in Mexico
have extended over several years, and
the heads Of the church are entirely
satisfied with the possibilities OF the
republic. The Mormon colonies es-
tablished several years ago, in the
northern part of the state of Chi
huahua are very prosperous.

Amid the circling blue she stands.
With darkened eyes and folded hands.
O'erlooking wide extended lands.
The winding roads beneath her crawl.
And sunshine's CLEAN and shadows
Sweep thwart her gusty mountain
wall.
Down governed ways wild waters flow
And homes of men lie far below,
Whose joy or grief h cannot know.
There, wheels a hawk on lagga~d
wing:
And harken what the breezes bring
When all the bells of silver ring.
The hosts of night above her shine;
And day, whose hours are all divine.
Its glories in her tresses Irvine.
The thunder heads fill half her skies,
And round about tall peaks arise
AS affairs fit for sacrifice.
Above all petty strifes and greeds.
Above all doubts and doubtful creeds,
Alone and mute she tells her beads.
With matin praise and vesper prayer.
For all oppressed by carking care
Alone with God she wrestles there.
Was it for sin she prays apart
Or was it hurt from loves fierce dart,
That turned to stone a broken heart"
Niobe k with sanity grace
She gives no sign from her high place;
No smile we see. no tear we trace.
1t may be sweet as bee may sip,
Or bitter as the alOeS drip,
Yet mute as morrow is her lip
Her hooded face though none may
see,
Though stilled her mortal pulses be.

MIR. BRYAN AND HIS
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Washington, Sept. A. United
States Senator Bailey was in Wash
ingtOn for a few hours on his re-
turn from New York where he at
tended the Bryan reception. Like
many other democrats, Sen
I ator Bailey is apparently not very en-
thusiastic over the doctrine of munic-
fpal ownership, though he declined
to discuss the subject or any part OF
Bryan's speech at this time. Il have
not read the speech carefully" said
Senator Bailey, land 1 am not pre-
pared to say anything on the subject
at present."
Other democrats were equally nom
| communicative on the subject of the
advanced step of municipal owner
ship family advocated by Mr.. Bryan.
Democratic newspapers, however. are
bristling with protests against that
/ feature of the speech Here are two
typical expressions culled from dem
ocratic papers,:
The Washington Times says:
What Mr.. Bryan said about govern
ment ownership was somewhat tenta-
tive, and would not need be embar-
RAISING to his party if it were not
that he failed to press forward any
other specific remedial and
insist upon immediate consideration
of it, Government ownership stands
out as the one clear. sharp, well-de-
fined new idea On the trust ques-
ton Mr.. Bryan was distinctly diSaap-
pointing. He was vague and unsatis-
factory. he roundly declared for leg
islation which shall make a private
J monopoly impossible but he failed
to tell what that legislation shall be-"
The Baltimore Sun, which is more
moderate in its criticism, says: Mr.
is not without positive politics,
Notwithstanding the wholesale appro-
priation of his thunder during his
s%ojourn abroad. In the main, his po-
sition. as disclosed by his speech yes
terday. is not much in advance OF
public sentiment. The principal ex-
ception is his advocacy of federal and
state ownership of railroads. So far
as the railroads are concerned, Mr..

BRYAN ADVISES ABOLISHMENT
OF RAILROAD PASSF-

Chicago, Sept. 4.-W. J. Bryan. as
the guest of the local democrats, de-
livered today, within eight hours, two
addresses. His first speech, which
honor by members of the Iroquois
club, dealt entirely with political is
sues and economic questions of the
day.
| The second speech, which was made
at a banquet given in his honor by
the Jefferson club, was devoted to
National Committeeman Roger c..
Sullivan of Illinois. whose resignation
was endorsed by the recent state
convention. which also declared in
favor of Mr. Bryan as the next
| democratic nominee for president
Mr.. Bryan not only scored Sullivan
and his political methods unmerci-
fully, but informed the democrats
present, many of whom were dele
gates to the recent state convention,
that if they accepted Mr.. Sullivan
they could not endorse him in any
way. He informed them emphatic
ally that ne would have none Of the
approval of the democrats of Illinois
4 and that he ~repudiated their recent
endorsement of him.
In his afternoon address Mr.. Bryan
said regarding his recent ~utterances
in New York on government owner
ship of the railways: Il stated what
L thought with the expectation that
everybody else would exercise the
n cCIAIS SSoOI III ~ uloSu SlO III
the question. l was led to my con-
illusions by the corruption of the
people of the United States by the
railways, as I have seen it,. In my
Judgment we have no more corrupt
ing influence in American politics
than the railroad. 1t has corrupted
the people by h pass. L have known
| judges to be elected by railroads and
L have come to the conclusion that
this corruption cannot be eliminated
until these natural monopolies be-
come the property of the govern
| ment. L am opposed to Capitalization,
L believe that h state can
best do that which concerns the state
| alone. Because 1 believe in the doc
prefer that instead of having all the
railroads combined by the federal
government, we should ave the
local lines owned by state govern
ment and only the trunk lines owned
by the federal government"
Il want to say to you tina all over
the world there is a perceptible
growth IN demoeratlf IDEAS Wnen I
course, in hat broader sense. DEM
ocracy means h rule of the people.
1 think possibly there has been less
progress in this %ountr in the direc-
tries of the old world. That may be
explained by saying that we have less
distance to travel than they in Eu-
rope and that we have to some ex-
tent felt a counteracting influence in
the last twenty-five years that to my
mind can be traced to the dominating
influence on the part of great corpor-
atoms interested in favorite legisla-
ton and in special privileges"
Senators by Popular Vote.
Mr.. Bryan amid great applause adj
vocated the election of United States
senator's by direct vote. and then adj
ded:
Il think it is time to speak in re-
gard to he United States senate
plainly, and in my judgment the reas-
on why reform has been delayed for
a decade or more. is because preda-
tory wealth has put corporation tools
in the senate; and until this can be
remedied and the senate brought into.

with probably fatal results.
The tragedy was as terrible as 1t
was unexpected. The hour for the
ceremony was at hand and the guests
who had been hidden to the festival,
together with the justice of the peace.
Herman Schultz, who was to perform
the ceremony, were assembled in the
parlor of the home of the brides
father, Reinhold Kutzer, one and one
half miles from Comfort.
Young Reinhardt walked into the
room where Miss Kutzer and the
pistol from his pocket, leveling it at
his sweetheart She threw up her
hand as If to ward off the danger and
three shots were fired at her in rapid
succession at close range.
The first bullet entered her heart,
killing her instantly. Reinhardt then
turned the pistol upon himself and
fired two bullets into his own breast.
One Of them entered the left and the
other the right side. He was living
at a late hour last night, but was
not expected to survive.
The cause of the tragedy is not
known.
The relations between the sweet
hearts have been typical of lovers and
the marriage was expected to be hap
py. The theory of the neighbors is
that the young man was excited and
temporarily irresponsible.
