THE MORM0NS
Intend to Leave Utah-Bought 10000
Acres in Mexico and Are Promised
Freedom to Follow Religion Unmo-
Tested Including Polygamy if Desired,

The Times Democrat Galveston, Tex
as, special says: Following the sale Of
10000 acres of land in Coahuila, Mexico,
opposite Eagle Pass, Texas, to the Nor
mons, comes the report from Prophet
Hamilton Smith of the Mormon Church
that President Diaz has promised tbs
Mornons liberty for the full practice OF
their religion, which means polygamy
without interference. This officer of the
church further states that Utah in the
near future will be abandoned by his
people, who find more profitable homes
in Mexico, where they will no longer
suffer religious prosecutions. He says
that his people really do not intend to
return to plural marriages, But that is
part of their religion which has beer
forbidden in the United States, and
gradually their rights and freedom have
been diminished by laws passed by the
United States with direct intent to per-
secute the Mornons.
=,
The Mormons have a well organized
colony on $4,000 acres of land adjoining
the 10000 acre tract just acquired, and
they hold options on nearly a half mil
lion more acres of good land in that Vi
eirity. The colony established in Mex
ico in the State of Chihuahua nearly
three years ago and which year ago
moved to the 65, 600 acres in Coahuila
was a test colony sent to Mexico BY the
Utah Mormons to study conditions, the
treatment of the Mexican government,
and to pave the way for the requirement
of more land if everything was satisfac-
tory.
Fifty families will leave Utah within
two weeks for the Mexican home, and it
is planned to have a Mormon settlement
of 5000 families in Mexico within the
next eighteen months. Mexico valves
the duty on all Mormon property moved
in, including all machinery and stock
Taxes are also waived for twenty-five
years, and while the price of the land is
not made public it is said it amounts
practically to a gift from the Mexicar
owners to the Mornons

MUNICIPAL PRIMARY
The Results Viewed as an Index to Bet
ter Things.

It will not be denied that the general
conditions of Shreveport are dlscredlt-
able. To be more direct, it may be said
that the disregard of law applying to as
signation and to gambling is fragrant and
that the number of men dru1k on the
streets gives the best proof that the law
is not enforced.
Who is to be held to account is mat
ter beyond the province of the Caucas-
ian.
If it be intended to make odiouS the
laws bearing on intended restrictions,
then the present stage of what some of
the community would have Wide-open
town has almost been reached, but a
silent protest is being developed into a
remonstrance which if not needed, wifi
culminate in an open revolt by the pop
ulation standing for law and order.
In this pronouncement for law and
order all alignments are being laid
aside, notwithstanding the desperate eff
forts of some individuals to interject and
keep alive the question of antis and pros
which has been settled and is dead
issue.
What the people want today is a
change in the system of the municipal
government The present system fails
to respond to the needs of this progress
i've community, but it is notable that the
most determined opposition is, excepting
the few directly and indirectly con-
nected with the municipality, from the
class having little at stake in the COM
munity and who are moved and
persuaded more or less by appeals to
prejudice.
To the observer of events it is clear
that the result of the municipal primary
of September 6 is an index of better
things. 1t is a demonstration that the
people, at least the majority, will insist
on the best men offering for positions
being, entrusted with responsibility.
As a pretense for what appears to be
a disregard of law, it is assumed that
the law can not be enforced, but this fall
lacy will be demonstrated when new
order is established and when the law
abiding people shall demand law en-
forcement and such demand shall be re-
speeted obeyed and carried into effect
fairly and fearlessly.

DECLINE IN COTTON.

New York, Sept. 6-Following nearly
six months of almost constantly advanc-
ing prices, there was sharp decline in
the cotton market today, with September
contracts breaking to I3.4o, or $2.25 per
bale below the closing figures of last
week. Selling was general and was at
tributed to the fact that with the passing
of August the market is entering a pc
Rod of increasing available supplies,
while it is claimed that Southern offer
ings for prompt shipment are increasing,
there is very little demand from mills
The old crop bulls bought September
moderately on the decline, but gave nc
aggressive support.
