BAD WORK IN MEXICO.

II is bad work in Mexico if the in
surgents allow in their jurisdiction,
bandits to hold up peaceful travellers
and demand ransom for their release.
1t is worse for the insurgents If they
are in League with that kind of work,
or arc unable to stop it. The party in
any sort of contest which engages In
work like that is sure to come under
the exccration of the civilized world.
derers and robbers.
Tho defeat of the government forces,
reported in the dispatch yesterday
morning, is the first real success that
has been noted in the insurrectlon.
How long the insurrcctory forces will
be able TO keep up their organization,
will depend very much on the. prestige
they may gain by such victories as
this. In the meantime, IL is worth
whlo 70 consider tho forces that tho
government can bring against them.
Tho standing army of Mexico consists
Of 30 battalions of infantry, and 4
battalion cadres; II regiments OF cav
airy, and regimcntal csdrcs; rcgi-
ments of field artillery and 3 cadres,
| regiment and l cadre of horee ar
tillery, | of mountain artillery and |
cadre, sections Of garrison artillery,
and A mitrailleuso company, | battalion
of engineers with a telegraph section,
and an engineer field park. There are
also certain auxiliary troops, amount
ing all told to about A squadrons and
. or ; companies. The peace ostah
lishment consists OF $4,000 non-com
missioned officers aud mon, and 2500
commissioned officers. Tho nominal
war electives bring the total force up
TO about $4,000 men. The cadro is the
framework or skeleton of regiment,
consisting of the mmIssioned and
non commissioned officers, around whom
the newly assigned men may be formed
in order to raise the command to its
full strength.
Doubtless the Mexican army will be
put now upon its war footing, and the
campaign against tho revolutlonsts
will be pushed with the usual Diaz
vigor until tho movement is sup
pressed; for We do not believe that,
even with the prestige Of greater sue
cess than has so far been shown, there
is any prospect Of overturning the Diaz
government in Mexico

THE NEWS'S MISLEADING.

Hon. Brigham H. Roberts has writ
ten to The Tribune letter, in which
he takes exception to statement made
by this paper on the morning of Fri
day, December I6, 1910. This state
ment was made in an article entitled
Elder Roberts on the Danitcs.'
1t is not within Tho Tribune s in
tent to misrepresent Mr.. Roberts If
the distinguished gentleman will take
further notice of our article, he Will
find that our excerpt was from the Des-
eret News. Our idea was to simply pre-
sent the truth that the Danite gang
was of Mormon origin; that none but
membership. It seems, too, that our
idea IN this respect is approved by Mr..
Roberts, for in his communication he
says that "Neither in the chapter deal.
ing with the Origin OF the Danites, >
nor in Americana for November, nor
in any other of my writings have !
ever said that Marsh or Phelps were
communicated for being connected
with tho Danites. -
First of all, The Tribune quoted from
the review Of the Roberts article which
was published in the Deseret News, and
it was that which We declared to be
fulse Now Mr., Roberts denies saying
il, and that denial is good with us
This paper afterwards stated that any
presentation which would appear TO fix
Thomas s. Marsh or w. w. Phelps as
being apostatc from the Mormon
church, simply because they were mem
bers of the DANTE gang, was and is
untrue. There is no doubt in the mind
of The Tribune that if Mr., Roberts
had before him all of the facts, his
Mormon church history would be diff
ferontly written.
We do believe that Mr. Roberts
should have written his letter 10 the
Deseret News; for that paper put the
construction upon his writing that The
Tribune quoted. We further say. as
We have said before, that David Whit.
mer, John Corrill, w. W. Phelps, Orson
! Hyde, John Clcmenson and others of
! the Mormon church were eXcommuni-
Gated because Of the fact that they de-
nounced the DANTE gang as Iswbreak.
ers. We say now that Sidney Rigdon
and Joseph Smith were prime movers
/ of the lawless outfit. In effect. ii is
admitted by Mr.. Roberts that there was
la DANTE gang. 1t might as well be
stated by any proponeut of the Mormon
cause that the Melchisedck priesthood
is not Of Mormondom. as to say that
tho DANTE gang was not of Mormon
origin. 1t was a murderous, pillseing
outfit OF vandals. Its binding force
was in its support of the founder OF
Mormouism aud his cosdiutors. There
is no claim other than that il was Of
Mormon origin. 1t is not denied by
the News, or by Mr.. Roberts, that this
is the case. There seems now only TO
be desire to throw off responsibility
for the outfit.
However, il is fair to say for Mr.

POWER SITES RESTORED.

We are glad TO sec that President
Taft is disposed to release some of the
tied-up lands in Utah, even those that
arc not available for water-power sites.
There is altogether too much land tied
up in various ways, and the people IS
opportunities correspondingly curtailed
1t is the fact that the assumption
of control over the waters by the Fed
eral Government is arrived at through
4 subterfuge, and is based upon the
control of the land which is in the
National Government, the same being a
usurpatiou so far as the control of the
water is concerned, which clearly rests
within the powers of the State.
Still, the general government has as
sumcd the control. and we cannot dis.
putc il if we would, We trust, how
ever that with further enlightenment
the President Will see his way clear
10 the further release of the lands re.

his Withdrawals to either lands or wa
ters that are not available Tho best
IS none too good for the people and
the prospective settlers. The President
Will be supported unanimously through
out the West. if he will throw off, TO
large extent, the hampcring policies
of the late Chief Forester; and the

THE CLERKS WON'T BE HURT.

The direction OF President Taft that
the clerks in the executive departments
Mt WASHINGTON shall work half an hour
longer each day. appears to have made
great stir in the capital. And yet
there was no occasion for a commotlon
about it, Those clerks have too easy
time Even with the added half hour.
they will work but seven and half
hours day Most persons who have
work TO do, would consider hours like
that to he light. II is a marked drop
from the legal eight hour day. and the
one who is accorded the short day is IN
luck.
II is no wonder that President Taft
thinks the scvcn-hour day TOO short.
It is too short The mon and women
who work in all parts of the Republic,
have TO work hard, and long hours, and
they must support from their earnings,
the Government, including the Washing
ton clerks The latter have had much
the better Of it thus far, and President
Taft IS to be commended for his order
adding half an hour to their days work.
II he had added full hour, there would
still have been no reason for them TO
complain They are not hurt. and may
