A MEXICAN PRoTECToRATE.

The discussion of the Mexican situa-
tion by Senator Albert 3. Fall of New
Mexico is not as convincing as such
discussion should be if it is to be ac-
cepted as a solution of the present
troubles either by the people of Mexico
or OF the United States. Senator
Fall urges a protectorate by this coun-
try, his idea being, az any rate, to have
a protectorate especially for the north
ern States of Mexico, He insists that
there Is growing sentiment in those
States in favor Of annexation to the
United States. this because OF the de-
sire for settled government. peace, and
order.
It is quite conceivable that Senator
Fall may be right in this, for pro
onged period of disturbances, turmoil,
and bloodsbed would naturally cause the
people to look to the best practical
means for ending the chaotic situation
in which they find themselves But we
do not believe that it would be either
wise or practicable for the United
States TO assume protectorate over
Mexico, or any part Of Mexico. The
lprotectorate contemplated would he a
costly business for us. and a bloody
business for the Mexicans, unless it is
entirely voluntary and acceptable to the
| Mexican people. and especially 70 the
Mexican leaders. But, since those
leaders have their ambitions, and arc
likely to strike for their own personal
advantage whenever opportunity offers,
I it is hardly TO be expected that they
would see their advantage in annexation
to the United States; for, under an
nexation there would be practically no
opportunity presented for the usual
methods Of realizing their ambitions in
ways so well understood in Mexico. All
the old brigandage would have to be
given up, all the old opportunities OF
taking advantage Of a critical situation
to raise a rebellion for the advance
ment of the political fortunes Of this or
that turbulent leader; for, under
American jurisdiction or protectorate
the very thing that would be suppressed
first of all would be exactly the sort
Of demonstrations, political and bloody
that have been Che distress Of Mexico

TARIFF REVISION SHAPING UP.

The statement comes from Washing
ton that the President and Chairman
Underwood Of the House Ways and
Means Committee have practically
agreed upon the features of the tariff
bill which will be proposed for the
revision Of all the schedules. It is
significant that the dispatch carries
the statement that wool is not to be
put upon the free list, but that if
teen.cent duty Is to be retained-pre-
sumably upon the secured wool basis.
But fifteen-cent duty upon the secured
wool basis is too small. It has been
figured by the wool mon that the
least that would afford them adequate
protection is a twenty cent duty, and
that this twenty-cent duty would be
sufficient only on the basis that the
imports Of wool on the secured basis
should be in whole feeces. AS it has
been in the past, secured wool has
been brought in even under the present
thirty-three-ceut duty at large profit,
because the importers were allowed to
select the choicest portions Of the
fleece and reject the poorer portions.
It is probable, therefore, as we reckon
it, that the new tariff duty will carry
the twepty-cent rate and will require
that imports on the secured wool basis
shall be of whole heeces in place of
selected portions Of the fleece. We
may note hero the later report that
President Wilson and Chairman I'm
derwood have agreed to try to get
free wool; but we don u believe for
minute that they can do it.
The statement is also made that
sugar is to be put on the free list;
but it is significantly added that there
is no real expectation Of carrying free
sugar, since a number Of the Demo
cratic Senators will oppose it, The
statement is that "both the President
and Mr.. Underwood know that a bill
admitting sugar free hasn't the ghost
of show to get through the Senate E"
That, we take it, is plain statement
Of fact, and the inference is fair,
therefore, that the free-sugar provision
is put in the bill to be knocked out.
"leaving the Senate with the idea that
it has gained a victory" Not only
will the Senate have this idea, but
in fact it will be a victory, because,
except for the detection Of sufficient
number of Democratic Senators to de-
feat the free-sugar clause, undoubtedly
free sugar would be carried in the
bill
We have good reason to believe that
the same influences that will defeat free
sugar will also defeat any attempt ma
terially to reduce the tariff on lead
or zinc; for there are even more Demo
cratic Senators who will oppose that

ever since Madero began his insurrec-

ever since Madero began MS 1neurrec-
tion.
AS we have pointed out heretofore,
there is unquestionably, and always has
been, good deal of American senti-
ment in Sonora. There is good deal
less Of IL in chihuahua and less still IN
Coahuila. But Senator Fall may be
right In stating that there is re-
markable growth Of this sentiment In
all of those northern States. IF so. and
if he is right in stating that they are
pretty certain to detacb themselves
from the present Mexican entity and
government, which is a plausible view
in line with recent developments, then
it may be quite within possibilities, as
he suggests, that protectorate over
those States for the purpose of restor-
ing peace and order, and with view
to subsequent annexation, might be
practical solution of the troubles for
both countries

DEATH OF JOHN BECK.

In the death of Mr.. John Beck the
State of Utah loses one of it's most
picturesque characters. Mr.. Beck was
4 man OF wide activities, of an inquir-
into many forms of activities. He was
at one time very wealthy man, but
his misfortune was to trust too much
and too implicitly.
He was active in mining, in manufac.
lures, in speculation, and in the general
development Of the State. He was the
great factor in the Bullion Beck mine,
He took an interest in the natural re-
sources of this region, as when he un'
dertook to utilize the warm waters OF
tho spring at Syracuse, and to develop
an interest in the preparation of what
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-04-03

this conclusion as stated by Justice
Golf; for there is no man in the coun.
try more competent to form judg'
ment Of this kind than the dis
tinguished iurist named, and no one
has had any better opportunity TO
form judgment on this question; and
other keen lawyers have come to the
same conclusion. 1t is, therefore, not
without reason that attorneys ex-
perienced in the practice of their pro-
fession are loath to have their clients
60 upon the witness stand if those
clients are guilty, but they are eager
to have them go upon the stand If they
are innocent. And so the conclusion
Of Justice Golf has, in fact, been an
ticipated by the shrewdest attorneys of
general practice that we have. Any
one who has paid much attention to
court procedure must have noticed the
fact, as stated, that attorneys discFlml.
nate very much with respect to put
ting their clients upon the stand, and
that is the line of discrimination which
they take. An experienced attorney
will not advise his client to go on the
stand if that client is guilty, except
in the most desperate and hopeless OF
cases.
Justice Golf is not directly quoted on
the contrary proposition, that a guilty
witness is pretty sure to give himself
away if he goes upon the stand; and
yet. that is the corollary of the major
proposition which he sets forth, and
that corollary is, as we have indicated
fully borne out in the practice of the
most acute lawyers who have had much

proposition than would oppose free

proposition than would oppose free
sugar,
And with the retention Of proteo-,
tive duty upon wool, upon sugar, and
upon lead and zinc, there would ap-
pear to be no reason why the income
tax should be proposed; for with a
due eye to economy the Governmental
customs revenues would not be ma
terially interfered with by revision
such as is evidently contemplated
Why, therefore, the great pressure for
an income taxY The Democrats have
been assuring the country that they
would reduce the burdens Of the peo'
pie, but now the first thing that they
do is to undertake to impose new taxa
tion and increase the burdens. The
income tax provision ought to be left
for some great crisis or Governmental
urgency, aud not imposed as routine,
every-year sort Of tax. The Demo
Gratis will certainly lose politically far
more than they will gain by imposing
this new form Of taxation, for it gives
the lie to all Of their protests Of econo~
my heretofore, and to the claim that
they want to give relief to the people
from their burdens Of taxation.

PSYCHOLOGY OF EVIDENCE.

Justice Goff Of New York is very
acute jurist, Of long experience on the
bench, answering in duty, and of the
highest order of judicial ability. His
observations after a long period Of ser
vice as Judge, are always Of the highest
value. Accordingly, recent utterance
of his to the effect that he has never
seen an innocent man who took the
witness stand in his own behalf con-
victed Of crime by a jury, is of very
great Importance.
There is deep significance also in
