The governor now decided to march
his whole force into Nauvoo but does
not seem to have had any clearly de-
fined object for so doing. The morn
ing of the 9th was fixed On for the
march; and on the Goth the order was
given, and message sent to the
troops at Warsaw, to meet him and
the main body at Gordon's Point,
about seven miles from the city. But
on the morning OF the day fixed for

tions of taking force into the city
and called council of his officers for

governor took the responsibility, coun-
fernandez his orders, and disbanded
the troops-except three companies,
two to remain at Carthage, and one to
accompany himself and few friends
into Nauvoo. An order to this effect
was accordingl. forwarded to the
companies at Warsaw, who were al
ready on the march, and they were
met on the prairie by the disbanding
officer before reaching Golden's Point.
After being disbanded, portions OF
these returned to their homes, while

Demands State Arms.

l. lie governor next demanded that
the state arms in the hands of the
legion, with which they had been sup
piled by Quartermaster General Ben
nett should be delivered to him. To
this demand they complied by sending
in three pieces of cannon and 200
stands of small arms.
The surrender Of the chiefs being
insisted On by Governor Ford on the
24th, the prophet, his brother Hyrum,
and some members of the city council
came in and surrendered to the Off
GERS holding the writs, and voluntari-
ly entered into recognizance to appear
at court. In the meantime new war
rant, charging Joseph and Hyrum
| Smith with treason had been issued
and they were again arrested by the
based on the alleged fact OF levying
war against the state, and of declar-
ing martial law in the city, and order
ing out the legion to resist the execu-
ton of the laws Here Historian Ford
gives novel definition of treason. He
says.
Their actual guiltiness of the
charge would depend upon circum-
stances. IT their opponents had been
seeking to put the law in force in
good faith, and nothing more. then
resistance to the posse comitatus and
the militia of the state, most proba bly,
would have amounted to an array OF
military force in open treason. But il
those opponents mainly intended to
use the process of the law. the militia
OF the state and the posse comitatus.
/ as catspaws to compass the possession
/ OF their persons for the purpose OF
numbering them afterwards, as the
! sequel demonstrated the fact to be.
1t might well be doubted whether they
were guilty of treason" Hist. p. 337.
| On this point Mr. Gregg wrote:
So treason. instead of depending
upon the acts and Intentions of the
persons charged, is to be measured by
the acts and Intentions of others. 1t
Is principal of law that intention
must be taken into account in defin.
Ing crime, but it comes strangely from
the executive of state, that to con-
stitute crime, the intentions of per.
sons who are endeavoring to bring a
criminal to Justice, rather than his
own, are to be considered. But by
what process does Governor Ford so
summarily arrive at the intentions of
those he styles the opponents of the
Mormon leaders,"

WILL

To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
1t is now the general belief of those
who keep in touch with the trend
of political and International move
ments that the United States Senate
will decline to ratify the new arbi.
tration treaty between England and
the United States, and that this so
called peace treaty will eventually
add another political blunder to the
administration Of the well-meaning
but injudicious President Taft.
The recent election in Canada, in
which the reciprocity bill between
that country and the United States
upon President Tafts reciprocity pro-
jcct, which cost the American tax
payers hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, but also will be instrumental in
causing the defeat of the Presidents
arbitration treaty between England
and this country.
The overwhelming defeat of the rec
Canada and the subsequent approval
of that vote by the entire British
press, is strikingly significant at this
time, revealing, as 1T does, the selfish
and unfriendly attitude Of the people
of Great Britain toward any move
ment that might conduce to the inter-
ests of the American people.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
H. I. l.. repeats the story that two
great foreign socialists were united by
mutual consent. without any other cere-
mony whatever, and because no social
list protested against such action quotes
that as positive proof that socialism
will break up the home. Now there have
also been two very great foreign musi-
cal composers who even swapped wives
by mutual consent without other cere-
mony, and never heard Of any
musicians protesting against it, but
does that prove music a dangerous
thing that will break up the home? II
H. T. L; reads the papers he surely
knows that there are hundreds Of
Democrats and Republicans doing the
same thing and much more right along
l never heard OF any of them having
been read out Of the party on that ac-
count. Does that prove those parties
are dangerous things and will break
up the home? What has politics got
to do with that anyway? But I do

Approves Plans
Of Squadron Movements

Secretary Meyer has approved the
plans for the movements of the At
lantic fleet following the mobilization
and review in New York, November !.
The first squadron, excepting the Della
ware and Kansas, will proceed to New
port, r. l.. and the second squadron.
excepting the Rhode Island and Idaho,
will proceed to Hampton Roads.
These squadrons will engage in drills
and exercises for about fifteen days, and
they will then exchange bases, meeting
at sea for joint drills. Early in De-
visions will go to their home ports, and
the second division will go to New York
for the holidays, remaining until Janu-
airy 2.
The entire fleet will assemble on the
Southern drill grounds early in Janu-
ary, and will go direct to Guantanamo
for winter drill.

VIEWING THE GAME FROM
OUTSIDE.

The ethics of watching baseball
game from any vantage ground out
side the inclosure where toehold OF
knot hole may be found probably
weighs lightly upon the conscience OF
the average boy-or man-under any
circumstances. When it is the cham.
pionship in a world series that is at
stake the burden of guilt seems even
lighter.
At the same time the unfortunates
who lack the price will feel somewhat
better, in a general way, to find that
the question has been judicially decd
ed, and while the court did not dwell
at length upon the law or the ethics
he at least turned loose the culprit.
The case was that chauffeur who
climbed an electric light pole to witness
Mondays game at Shibe Park over in
Philadelphia. We are not informed
at what stage of the game he was ar
rested, but there is a sneaking sort of
wish that it was not until somewhere
near the end.
He was arraigned before Magistrate
Morris and that exponent of justice
in the City of Brotherly Love showed
that he had not yet forgotten the
days OF his youth. The defendant de
clared with a touch of pathos that he
wanted to see the game and didn't
have any money. Everybody else was
inside the grounds and there wasn't
any chaufing to do. He just couldn't
resist the impulse to climb the elec
trio light pole and see what he could
see.
The kindly judge was touched by tn.
chauffeur's plea. He not. only released
him, but he declared from his plac.
on the bench that if he were broke

Human Sympathy the Base

The Old Homestead plays upon the
threads Of human sympathy. Such a

he might be tempted to do the same
