We earnestly plead with our coun-
ty authorities who have in charge the
rebuilding of the bridges, that they
try the experiment Of building Of
some Of these bridges with re-en-
forced concrete. Such structures
would be able to withstand the floods
and would last 500 years. They would
not cost much more in the building
than the wooden bridges.

MEXICOHAS A
TART RET0RT

Washington, Dec. REPRESENTATION
of the state departments rejoinder to
the Mexican reply to Secretary Knox's
note of last September demanding pro-
lection for American interests in Mex
leo may not take place until after the
holidays. Mr.. Knox is leaving today
for his home at Valley Forge to be
absent until early in January. The
note, in a way, is likely to be of his
toric character in marking a dinstinct
crisis in the relations of the two coun-
tries. Officials disclaim that the note
will be an ''ultimatum" But that it
will deal with issues of the firmest and
most uncompTomising spirit is fully
expected. To the surprise of the state
department the Mexican reply was full
OF resentment of the secretary's sug-
gestions and even went to the point of
lmpugning the accuracy of the state
ment of alleged facts contained in the
note. 1t charged that many Ameri-
cans who complained of mistreatment
were themselves to blame. II prac-
tiCally intimated the Orozo uprising
would have been impossible except for
American support. Reports of contiI-
ued disorder and turmoil throughout
Mexico are still pouring into the state
| department.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 21-John H.
Hall was convicted of conspiracy as
result of the operations of the Butte
Creek Land and Live Stock company,
OF which w. w. Steiwer was president.
Complaint was made to Hall that the
company had illegally fenced part of
the public domain Hall, it was said,
did not press the case. The govern
nent took the view that Steiwer, be-
ing a member of the legislature, used
his influence to have prosecution
checked in return for Steiwer's polit-
ical influence for Senator John H.
Mitchell.
Prior to his prosecution for "con-
spring with Steiwer" Hall forgot the
names of persons who could have en-
abled him to explain his actions; it is
said.

What is the rate OF mortality in the
United States, and what nationwide
steps may be taken to diminish this
rate?
These are some of the questions
that were troubling social welfare
workers when the bill was passed.
They are questions that could not well
have been answered before the bureau
was established. Yet they are tre-
mendously important.
When Miss Lathrop came to Wash
ington in the spring she Immediately
set about to find the answers to these
questions, and others. She surrounded
herself with competent assistants. She
set about her task intelligently, deter
minedly. She has already accomplish
ed much.
Though he field in which she
works is broad one, Miss Lathrop is
now directing special attention to the
subject of infant mortality. She has
learned that three out of every ten
children who come into the world die
| before reaching the age of ten years
| She is determined to diminish this ap
palling death rate. She has not made
public her plans, but few doubt heI
ability to succeed, in some measuft
at least.
An occasional dQHbter to the CON
trary, Miss Lathrop Is rapidly making
her bureau one of the most important
of any in the great departments oi
government. She is helping to dis
prove the old saying, true enough In
! its day, that Uncle Sam cares more
for his live stock than he does for hi!
