cmnly that the American administra-

which operations were being carried
on. and with no accurate knowledge
Of the City's finances. now finds itself
confronted with the alternative of a

That IS. of course too bad But can

giant and ignorant administration with

Is really not what this cNtravagant adj

can such an administration be trusted
with funds2
II Is not sufficient to say that some
OF the officials arc respectable and
successful business men. because they
have proved themselves powerless
against the self-s appointed gang of
dctators that has assumed control.
The question Is. can that gang be
trusted with more money to squander?
The argument advanced that unless
the bonds are voted the tax-levy will
be raised IS really not worthy Of con-
sideratipn, for the simple reason that
after the bonds are voted. the tax
rate Will, IN all human probability
be increased too. to meet the in

has broken faith with the citizens be-

control of public funds.
1t Is for the citizens to say whe-
ther they want to Increase the public

so, they should reflect that the city

TO STOP AN ABUSE.

Two years ago law was passed I'M
der which naturalized citizens who re-
side abroad can be deprived of their
citizenship, unless they take the pre-
caution of registering with the nearest
American consul The Federal authors
ties have now taken steps TO make that
law operative in the case of one citizen
residing abroad.
Abraham Moss was naturalized in
this country in 1892. He left in few
months after securing his papers and
has since been living in Pretoria, South
Africa. He became involved in trouble
with the South African government
recently and promptly appealed 10 the
State department at Washington for
protection. The authorities, after In
vestlgat!ng the case. began suit IN the
Pennsylvania district. whore Moss has
been admitted to citizenship for the
cancellation OF his naturalization pa
pers.
The law was enacted in order to stop
the abuse Of foreigners In coming here
and obtaining citizenship and then leav-
ing for the Old Country and claiming
protection under the American flag,
The existence of the law should be Of
interest 10 all nnturalized citizens who
go abroad and remain away for years,
perhaps, Unless they register with an
American consul, their citizenship may
be jeopardized.

NOT A REVOLUTION.

The Editor Of the Mexican Herald, In
a dispatch TO the New York Times con-
corning the recent border troubles in
Mexico. says II is not rebellion, or
revolution. The cause OF the upris-
ing. he explains, was the restitution OF

and industrial plants. In some regions
unemployed men, being in this frame
of mind We're easily worked upon by
Mexican agitatOrs who had taken ref
uge In the United States. and two years
ago began a movement designed to TO-
ment popular sentiment against for
eigners. That INSCRIPTIONS plot, he
adds, failed ANONYMOUSLY, and since
that time the agitators have been look
ing for favorable conjuncture of cir
cumstances to start rising against
the federal government. Their oppor-
tunity cane when many people In
northern Mexico were out of work and
when the active criminal element could
be easily enlisted IN a scheme for loot
ing towns where there was no mill
tary protection. The movement shows
lack of careful organization and is des-
ttute Of strong leadership.
1t may be added that northern Mex
leo has suffered from poor crops which
has aggravated the situation. Discon-
tent often follows hard times, especial
ly when there are agitators on hand
to lead the disturbance.

An honest city treasurer would not
dare to touch that trust fund for the
general expenses of the city. He could
not do so without being liable under
his bonds. No one knows this better
than the salt Lake Tribune, which goes
on day after day claiming that the
