DpdIldi uOoCOhNohNo OA IhO OOH- quistadores, but claimed by his people. Surrounding them are mountain fastnesses where are scores of natural strongholds, where few men may stand off an army. Retiring to those strongholds he has laid in wait for opportune mo- ments, and has pounced down into the valleys, pillaging, burning and destroying without stint, and escap ing again to his mountain strong holds before troops sent against him could overtake him. Every laborer on every plantation, of the same blood and race as his own men, is spy for him, and their savings go toward arming, equip. ping andnfeeding his men. Zapata is but the chief of many such lead CTS, some working in conjunction with him, and others working in- dependently, but all declaring themselves Zapatistas. Then, be- side there are arising throughout the republic murderous bands, calling themselves revolutionists, who have taken advantage of the absence of troops from their own localities and the unsettled condi. tions to embark in course of rob- bery, calling themselves revolution ists always, but having no principle to fight for nor any demand for a restoration of ancient rights.
 The situations described have brought about in some parts of the republic, a condition but little short of anarchy. And the remedy is a problem. It is very easy to prescribe remedy, but when it comes to an application thereof there will be found many difficult ties in the way. In some quarters it is alleged that the United States will have to intervene, and restore order in Mexico. Those who take that view do not comprehend the magnitude of the undertaking, the scope of the power of the govern ment of the United States, the duty of it's government, nor the temper of the American people. To restore order would necessitate a repression by the force of arms of all those fighting for restoration of ancient possessions, or wrestling from the present owners those pos sessions, and their parcelling among present claimants. To do either would require the service of an army of considerable magnitude. The American people are not going to tax themselves to support a great army to send into Mexico to adjust the relations between des- cendants of the original inhabitants of the land and descendants of those who dispossessed them. That is what intervention would mean; and the American people have in ,Lo Dl, ,;l;,o;,o, ..bort o II tbn4 l. J

q SERIOUS PROBLEM.

It is doubtful whether many Tn |the United States understand the real situation in Mexico, and the |means and measures necessary to |bring about permanent and last ling peace, so necessary to the pros |perity. of the country, without |resort to the stern, represslve mill' |tary measures that have served in the pastto keep down disturbances. |And the great problem is to find remedial measures that are practi' cal without the adoption of policy that will be confscatory, and will work a great damage to vested rights.
 It Is not known generally that the republic has an Indian prob-' Hem of its own. All over the re- public are bands and tribes of h. dians, like the Yaquis, who occu- pied the land before the Spanish conquest, and from whom the own- ership of the soil was wrested by 
 the conquistadores, reducing the original occupants to a condition
 of peonage. They and their des- cendants have been the hewers of
 wood and drawers of water for the victorious conquistadores and their descendants; and of the prolific productions of the soil they have received but small part in return for their labor. Among all those various tribes of Indians there has smouldered distrust and venom ous. hatred of the occupants of the soil. and they have harbored in their bosoms always a belief and
 desire that they will he restored one day to possession of the soil that was wrested from their fore. fathers. That belief and desire
 has been a string to be played by K all ambitious revolutionists in
 Mexico. Among the tribes possess ing 1t they have found their best
 recruiting ground, and have drawn
 thence their 6ercest fighters. But when successful they have forgot
 ten their pledges to the Indians,
 and have done nothing toward the
 promised restoration of the lands
 demanded. Now, following upon
 the heels of successful revolution
 the Indians have determined to be put off with promises no longer.
 They are insisting that the Madero
 government make good it's promises and make restoration of the lands
 they claim, That is the secret of
 the Zapata rebellion in Morelos
 and adjacent states. Zapata was
 cue ot the most daring of the Ma
 dero leaders, and his followers are
 of the native race. When Madero
 obtained ascendancy Zapata refused
 to disband his forces, holding them
 in band to bring about, if possible
 complete restoration of the lands claimed by his followers as their

New Rule in Regard
to Examination Of .
; ALI Country Banks

NEW YORK, Sept 21-A ruling Of
great interest to country banks was laid
down here today by Lawrence o. MUIR
ray, comptroller OF the currency, in an
address delivered to a gathering of ma
tional bank examiners. On and after Oc-
tober l, he said. he desired that at the
examination Of all country banks the
board Of directors shall be convened and
the examination of assets made in their
presence.
The comptroller cautioned the examin-
ers to inquire very carefully into any
undue concentration of the loans of
bank in companies controlled by the
banks officers or directors
Il speak now" he continued "of any
bank where such concentration would
ruin the bank If the loans are bad. When
ever you come across a case where the
directors or officers are iinduly concen-
trating the funds of bank in corpora
tons controlled by themselves, and where
you have no information on which to base
an opinion as to whether the loans are
good or bad, it seems to me- you are
clearly entitled to one Of three things;
First, that the books of the corporations
be voluntarily opened to you, or, second,
that the directors give you a full state
ment In detail of the business of the con-
Germs; or. third, that copy be given you
OF a report on the company or corpora
ton made by an independent auditor
Mr. Murray complimented the examiners
for their work. but added that I'VE must
improve it materially"
He said he considered the country ex-
aminer is often overworked and UNDER
paid, but nevertheless he insisted "that

banks be materially heightened

BINGHAM, Utah, Sept. A.-Three. hun
dred strikers reappeared this morning in
the Notifications on the mountainside
known as the shooting gallery, from
which the firing was done toward the
Utah copper mine on the first days Of
the miners strike here.
The men are supposed to be a part Of
the force which came down from the
breastworks to hear the address of Gov
ernor spry on Thursday. The fortress
was deserted yesterday and it is sup
posed that its reoccupation is due to the
predictions that nonunion men would be
put to work by the Utah Copper COM
pany today.
Superintendent Schilling of the company
did not confirm the predictions. He said
this morning.
I'VE will do nothing today,

lished on the theory that the line might
