RAPIDITY IN MEXICO.

Things arc certainly moving rapid
~ in Mexico. According TO the
dispatches, Diaz is as good AS
out; Madero is pacifed; De la
Barra is about to be President of
Mexico. and Gomez is his right hand
That is the way events appear to be
shaping, and certainly they arc shap
ing fast.
1t is likely that the ultimate goal on
the one side or the other will not be
reached at once. but the outcome will
be as stated, unless there is an unex.
pected shuttle of the political cards
1t is extremely difficult to get al
the probabilities and the secret springs
and motives Of politicians in Mexico
but it seems to be settled, as stated
above, that Diaz is out, that Maderc
is in eclipse, and that new ministry
under the direction of De la Barra will
come in, and that this new arrangement
Will restore peace, or will at least si
lence all clamor for further insurrec
ton 1t is probable, TO be sure, that
armed lawlcss bands will infest the
country for some time TO come. A
good many of these bands arc nov
operating IN Mexico, apparently with
out any connection, and without the
recognition of any supreme authority
either Madero or Diaz. Some of these
perhaps, will not recognize the new ad
mlnistration, but they will be less bold
In their operations, and will confine
their acts to the usual feats Of brigands
which they are.
The United States will take a specia
interest in this new arrangement be
cause it promises peace and the be
ginning of the establishment of settled
order, which has been pretty thorough
ly braken down by the different in
surrections in the various States o.
Mexico. And because this new arrange
ment promises the restoration of peace
and order, the people of the United
States will rejoice. They will rejoice
further in the forbearance of President
Taft, who, under great provocation, ha!
kept cool and refrained from any act
that might be cited as hostile by tn,
new government of Mexico If is for.

the people Of the State ought to be IN
formed of that fact. so that they can
make up their mipds whether they wish
TO continue the nse of convict labor IN
making the roads or not.
At present the experiment seems to
promise success. We trust that il will
be successful: but must urge that the
fullest possible information shall be
given to the people Of the state ms to
cost, results, and in general the merits
involved in the whole question.

CoNvICTs AND GOOD ROADS.

We note that the movement for good
roads appears now to swing on the
proposition that convict labor shall be
used in making those roads This S
specifically opposed by the Building
Trades Council, and doubtless that op-
position will manifest itself in some
vigorous way. What form it will take,
Of course, the future must determine; /;
but in the meantime Governor Spry is
coming forward with tho proposition
and will enter upon the making of good
roads by convict labor in earnest
The first work planned is the road
between this city and Ogden. In this
the owners of automobiles are taking
ural that they should do. No stretch
OF road in the State has greater travel
upon it than the one between this city
and Ogden, and none has greater posi-
bilities of being made pattern road
which il would be desirable to follow
in all parts of the State. The idea is
To adopt the most expert and approved
plans, TO have the work supervised by
those who know precisely how roads
ought to be constructed, how to make
them even better than the old Roman
roads, and 10 use the State S prisoners
to do the manual labor Two camps
are to be established, one probably not
far from Kaysvillc, and the other in
the vicinity of Bountiful, as headquar-
ters for the convict workers on the
roads. This would make convenient
labor could be easily transported from
camp 20 work, with the least loss of
time, and the least cost in money
The people Of the State will look
ing interest. There will be two main
| considerations to be kept in view. The
first, of course, is the making of a
perfect road, road that will he OF
face, that will require the minimum of
cost TO maintain, and that will last for
generations.
The next matter, also OF high I'M
portance, is the economic question in.

the cost of these roads per mile as
built by convict labor, so that they car
form some idea of whether the use OF

greatest value to the outlying countie!
| where the use of convict labor will
probably be impracticable. This pari
OF the account ought to be kept in
clarified and exact form, so that there
can be no dispute about it, and that the
people of the State will know whether
it pays to employ convict labor on the
roads or not If it pays, such use viii

derive very great advantage from il
in the construction Of goods roads gen

THE WRONG SPIRIT.

At the United Confederate Veterans
Reunion in Little Rock. Arkansas, on
May 10Th, the orator Of the day, MIR.
r. C.. Cave of st. Louis. undertook to
fix the responsibility for the civil war
upon President Lincoln. The spirit IN
which this was done is fully as repre-
hensibe as the undertaking itself. II is
not possible that history could take
that view of the case, since the re-
beIlion and war against the United
States began before Lincoln was In
augurated State after State, South
Carolina leading, declared themselves
out of the Union. made war upon the
flag, and established wrongful ale
glance to a government which they set
up for themselves, and maintained de-
facto for upwards of four years.
1t is impossible that any candid judg
ment could hold Lincoln responsible for
what was done prior to his Inaugura'
ton as President. Besides, his utter
ances were all full of brotherly love,
His inaugural address bore the spirit
of good will, kindness, and concession;
he would give up almost anything TO
preserve the Union. That was also the
keynote Of his administration through
out. He was the kindliest of men, the
most tolerant of statesmen, the most
generous of Presidents. This attempt
to hold Lincoln responsible for the sins
Of others, and especially for the sins
Of the hot-headed politicians of the
South in 1860 and 1861, must neccssar
lily fail.
The attempt made by Mr.. Cave Will
shock every loyal heart that comes to a
knowledge of his assault upon the
memory Of Lincoln. Tt is often said
that the Northern men who Hwaved

that the country has, to a perfect re

LOCAL SATISFACTION,

The Tribune is very glad indeed to
see the spirit in which the business
community of Salt Lake welcomes the
decision of the Supreme Court IN the
great trust eases. We say cases ad'
visedly. because it is inevitable that
the same principles which have been
announced in the Standard OIL ease
will be followed in the tobacco trust
case, Just AS they have governed the
court IN all prior decisions involving
questions under the nti.trust law. The
business mon of Salt Lake City are
unanimous. not only in approving this
decision, but in the opinion that the
decision will help business conditions,
and Will tend to foster progress, TO
stimulate industry. TO ease the finincial
market, ana to aid all business enter
prises.
Probably Salt Lake City has suf-
fered less by reason of the depression
that mas been upon the business of the
country than any other city of any
Importance in it. AT the same time,
when the country generally is under a
financial or industrial cloud, ii is i'm
possible for even so prosperous and
staunch city as Salt Lake TO achieve
the degree of prosperity, and to ad-
vance its population and development,
as it would do if general prosperity
ruled throughout the country.
1t is good TO see that Salt Lake husl-
ness men are entirely in accord with
the sentiment of business men through
out the country, as expressed on thlS
decision All agree that things Will
now "'loosen up that industry Will
be stimulated, investments encouraged,
and that money heretofore locked up
and held with more or less strictness,
will be easier and more freely offered.
There are many large enterprises
under way in Utah at the present time.
These take the form, very largely. of
reclamation projects, opening new lands
to settlement, partly in dry farming
and partly by irrigation, bat all re
quiring more or less money to handle
and TO bring to successful results The
approval of Salt Lake business men Of
this decision, and their opinion that 1t
will result favorably to business, In
dustry and progress, is therefore OF
the highest practical value at this time.
In accordance Herewith, we shall ex-
pect to see the helping on of worthy
enterprises of many kinds. and that
those who are engaged in them will re-
ceivc such financial cooperation as they
need; and this as they will be able to
show is safe to invest. The decision Is
all right, the way it has been received
throughout the country is splendid; the
way in which ii is received here locally
is quite in agreement with the general
sentiment of business throughout the
United States. And so all is we'll, and
everything seems ready for new start
towards greater splendor of achieve
mcnt than ever before.

DEPENDS ON TRAFFIC
Question of Public Demand COnsids
cred by the Railroads.

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 14.-That the
construction of the north extension Of
the Northern Pacific depends largely
upon the demands that might be made
upon the road for train service is the
view held by @. L. Zimmerman of this
city who has just returned from St.
Paul yhere he held a conference with
President Howard Elliott of the rail-
road with reference to the construc-
ton question. 1t is feared by the
railroad. Mr.. Zimmerman says, that
the road does not wish to construct
the line and then have to inaugurate
daily service as there would not be
nearly enough traffic to pay for such
service. Efforts will be made to Sc
cure agreements from the towns
along the route that they will make
no demand for any service other than
that which may appear, in the minds
Of the railroad officials, profitable,
such agreement to hold over the first
year of the lines operation.

THE MARKETS
the smallest reserve surplus of the

the smallest reserve surplus of the
decade with the exception of 1907.
The wheat crop began to move much
earlier than usual and the prospect
of record cotton crop prompted
extraordinary preparations by south
ern bankers. This position is respon-
sible for the pressure by the banks
upon speculative borrowers, which
was the main influence in the move
ment Of liquidation.
That the early prospects this year
for the crops except cotton, is mater
tally altered was demonstrated by the
government grain report of last Tues
day. decline in condition of corn and
spring wheat was more severe than
was indicated by what had been re-
garded as exaggerated reports. A
formidable effect on sentiment was
produced, also, by reported demands
upon western railroads for higher
wages, with rumors of labor troubles
elsewhere.
Published utterances during the
week by influential capitalists show
ed a decree of solicitude over con-
ditions growing out of the supreme
court antitrust decisions.
The conviction has gained force
that great industrial aggregations
must be extensively readjusted and
there is dread of the confusion which
would result, If in nothing else, in the
computation Of values of segregat-
ed fractions of existing corporations.
This feeling was not allayed by the
public assertion of the secretary of
the interior that some measures of
protection Of the good as we'll as of
prosecution Of the bad were impera-
tive in approaching the corporation
problem of the commerce Of the Unit
ed States was to be kept at the posi-
ton it has reached.
Good effect was produced by the
copper producers report and the
United States Steel statement of I'M
filled orders. Copper stocks are
brought down to a lower figure than
since last December and the steel un-
filled order tonnage has risen higher
than since August of last year. These
promising industrial conditions kept
up hope of forces Of recuperation to
be met in the financial markets.
