The Capital Goes Reaainu.

Our Bisbee brethren are not meet ing with that degree of encouragement We had expected in their project for the removal Of the capital from Phoe- nix. It might have been supposed that Bisbee would have been overwhelmed with applications for the location of the capital. but we are pained to record that there is woeful apathy in all Arizona towns. Our capital is evidently not so much of a prize as We are wont to regard it.
 Bisbee had tentatively located the capital at Tucson. but Tucson seems not to have become unduly elated. The Post, on the contrary, while ac- knowledging the generosity of Bisbee's proposal. regards the gift as impes- sible and not altogether desirable.
 The Post assumes that the pro posed constitution of Arizona will be- come effective, in which case the capital must remain in Phoenix until 1925. Though expressing no good will toward the people of Phoenix, who are distinguished rather for their hoggish propensities. ingratitude and other unworthy qualities, than for nobleness of character. the Post finds that Phoenix is more nearly centrally located than any other town. and that at the time Of year when the legisla- ture convenes. it possesses certain climatic charms which do not at tach to many other Arizona localities
 Bisbees indignation against Phoe- nix is regarded by the Post as just, but in all the circumstances. un- availing. It is impossible in the opinion of the Post to visit this par ticular form of punishment on Phoe- nix. which, so far as the Post sees, will escape the penalty for its mis- deeds until that dread day when the | heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll. when time shall be no more | and when all the capitals in the | world shall be permanently removed. 1

MeSicap Peace

According to this mornings dis patches the only stumbling block in the way of peace in Mexico has been removed by the announcement of the intention of President Diaz to resign as soon as order has been re- stored in the republic. All the other demands of the revolutiOnists had been met weeks ago in the mes sage of President Daz to the con gress, though at that time the gov ernment had not officially recognized the existence of the revolution.
 Peace will not come without humil- iation to the aged ruler, who contribu- ted so largely to the freedom of his country and whose iron rule for the last thirty years has averted chaos. Mexico has been a republic only in name. The government has been as nearly despotic in reality as any that has flourished in the world within the last century. but the despot was d wise and patriotic one, and under his rule Mexico. by reason of it's peculiar conditions, flOurished as it could have done under no other form. Development was encouraged and life and property were made secure. The people. the mass of whom were ignorant, were protected against the dema gOgue. who could have led them only into anarchy.
 It may be that Mexico will regret the passing of Diaz as the Greek slave remembered that his country was happier and prouder under the Tyrant of the Chersonese.
 But We believe that the revolution was less a protest against the despot- ism of Diaz than against the oligarchy which has been slowly displacing it and which has year by year become more hateful to the better classes and more oppressive to all. The gov ernors Of the states, the members of the cabinet. owed nothing to the peO- pie, but all to DiaZ, whose advancing age made him more and more srs- ceptible to improper influence
 The revolution was not the rising of a single faction. the expression of ! a single protest. It was a pool of re- | sentiment. That against the ire | sponsible rule of the presidents ad- | visers was the rallying point about which gathered a hatred of foreign | CTS and the manifold grievances of 1 the lower classes

Keeping Fourth Hand Off.

Keeping Fourth Hand Off
 Some players ask: What is the use of you forcing your partner to go two no-trumps, if he already has the bid for one, the second hand having passed? The answer is that if the fourth player, who has yet to speak. overcalls your partners no-trump with two in a red suit and your partner has only one trick in that suit and nothing in spades, he will certainly drop his no-trump and it will be impossible for you to show your tremendous spade suit when it comes around to you again, because you cannot over-caH two hearts with eight spades. All you can do is to go to the two no-trumps your self, which may be a losing game. as we shall see presently.
 If your partners original che nO- trump is overcalled by the player on your right, who bids two in a red suit many persons sitting third hand make the serious mistake of advancing the partners call or two no-trumps if they have a sure stopper in the red suit Suppose second hand says two dia- monds. and you hold three diamonds to the ace. jack, it is clear that if the second hand bid is second your part ner has nothing in diamonds and it would be quite safe to over-call the two diamonds with two no-trumps to show your partner that you could help him by stopping the called suit.
 Doubling Stopper.
 But you cannot tell what your part ner had when he went no-trumpS and it is not your business to advance the bid. Leave that to him. The proper way to show that you have q stopper or two in the declared suit is to dou- ble two diamonds, which shows your partner not to be afraid of that suit if he has the rest of a mo- trumper. This leaves it to him either to go on to two no-trumps or to use his nO-trump with your stoppers to defeat the two-trick contract. Bluffs made by the second bidder are often exposed in this way, because if you double, showing honors in the suit, and your partner also has that suit, he knows the twOt trick call is false. If you go two no-trumps instead of doubling you may miss a great chance for heavy penalties.
 The circumstances are slightly al- tered when it is the fourth player that )vercalls the no-trumper. second and third hands having passed. If your partner goes on to two no-trumps himself you have nothing to say, but f he drops his no-trumper when the l ourth player overcalls it. and you have i he called suit stopped. you should go | wo no-trumps instead of doubling, be- | 'ause you are on the wrong side of the l maker to double and the suit will be | ed through you.
