MEXICO TIRED OF STRIFE
People Feel That Government Will
 Eventually Triumph

Mexico is tired of revolution and disorder, there is no doubt about it The great majority of the people and all legitimate interests cry out for peace and an opportunity to do busi- ness again.
 With the general acceptation of the belief that the government will win. and gradually restore order in Mex icO. has come condition entirely new and one that we have noted be- fore. It is the philosophical resigna- tiOn to accept things as they are; to begin picking up the frayed ends of business and building again for the future. abandoning the fOrlOrn hope that some restoration suddenly would put the country back in the condi- ton it was two years ago.
 This is now clearly seen to be inn possible and it is just as well to re- alize the facts. if at the same time, it is realized that there is work to be done right now in the reorganiza = tiOn of the nations commerce and in 1ustry There is hope and promise in the fact that the people have lost interest in the details of battles and minor conflicts. They have made up their minds that the government will succeed and they are anxious to get back to business and the routi ie of Teaceful existence Mexican Hcr.l3

RAY AND G|LA R. R.
 MAKES DENIAL
Says Further Commission Has Moth
 ing to Do With 1t

The Ray and Gila Valley Railroad
 company. against which a complaint
 was recently filed in the office of the
 state corporation commission relative
 to transfer charges. has made answer
 before the commission and the case
 will come up for hearing at an early
 date. The complainant is the Pacific Creamery company
 The answer denies generally the allegations of the complaint and also denies the right of the commission under the law to make an order in q case of this character.
 It is claimed by the complainant that the transfer rate charged by the company is excessive and seriously in-
 terferes with it's business. It is also said the railroad company makes charecs for transfers in cases in whlct no transfer is actually made and thai this is clearly an unjust and unrea- sOnable practice.

A QUESTION OF VALUES
A Little Progress Made Renders More
Advance Possible.

"Bennington's greatest need is
the establishment of wholesome rela-
tons between its young men and wo-
men" Such has been the statement
Of two investigators from national
organizations who have spent fort
night each in careful study OF our viii
lage. How many know that there are
seven resorts where gambling Is be-
ing regularly carried on, three on a
commercial basis, and that there are
as many kitchen dance halls In con-
nection with what are practically i'm
moral resorts? Statements from ply
sicians confirm our worst fears as to
the awful harvest which Is reaped.
Most alarming of all is the fact that
the frequenters of most of these re-
sorts are by no means limited to one
group of people, all are represented,
even our high school.
In our day, in the things we really
enjoy, is found the key to our true
character. If such standards con-
tinue among our young people what
will the Bennington Of the next gen
Grafton be? AS one of our citizens
has said I'VE have history but its
under the sod" We have wonderful
natural scenery, we have great water
power possibilities, and we have q
Board of Trade-but what can we dc
without men?
This craving for good time among
our young people, which has led to
such disastrous results, is in itself ma
tural and good and that it is distorted
is due to lack of adequate opportunit
les. Ancient and medieval cities al
ways provided public games and festi
walls. It is only our modern cities
perhaps due to our Puritan inheri
lance, that has concluded II is nc
longer necessary to provide for this
Unsuitable desire for play. This con
dition Is not peculiar to Bennington

TOM BROWNIES VIEWS
Democratic National Committeeman
From Vermont

Rutland, March Attorney Thorn
as II. Browne, the Vermont member
of the national democratic committee,
returned Saturday after visiting Bal
timore in connection with arrange
ments for the national convention.
"As it strikes me" Mr. Browne said
today in reply to an inquiry concern
ing the outlook, "the situation appears
to show more work being done for
Governor Wilson than for any other
of the men named in connection with
the democratic nomination for the
presidency. At the same time he
does not seem to be gaining ground
so rapidly as he did three or four
weeks ago. Within the past three
weeks Speaker Clark has been grow
ing in strength, and although Wilson
has succeeded in dividing the Okla
homa delegation with Clark, who was
expected to capture ii as a whole, the
Missouri man is making good progress
in the east, of course, at Wilson's ex-
pense.
Congressman Underwood of Ala
bama is regarded with favor by the
business men of the country, as
heard expressed in New York, and he
probably will have the support OF sew
eral of the southern states. He has
great number of friends and admir-
ers among all classes. The move
ment in favor of Governor Harmon Of
Ohio continues to make steady prog
ress.
Governor Marshall of Indiana will
have the support of his own state, as
matter of course, and he is regarded
by many close observers as a very
likely compromise candidate in case
the leaders in the convention succeed
only in killing each other of. Then
there are Governor Baldwin Of Con-
necticut and Governor Foss of Massa.
chusetts who probably will be present
ed each by his own state.
my impression concerning the con.
test, as il includes the men named,
is that 1t will be so close and will de.
velop so much friction that 1t will be
impossible for any one of them to Sc
cure the nomination. OF course that
is only my own personal impression,
derived from what have seen and
heard. Should this be the result
there is only one man upon whom |
can see any prospect of the conven-
ton uniting and that man is in no
sense a candidate Undoubtedly he
would resent even the suggestion that
he may be the coming man. Never
theless, Mayor Gaynor of New York
appears to me for many reasons. to
be one to whom, If such an emergen-
cy as / have suggested may arise, the
convention would be most likely to
turn. His own record and the impor-
lance of New York state are two
of the things that would force him
into the field in case the need arises
for some candidate other than any OF
those already In the race"

BASE BALL BuNTs

The latest reports from the manage
ment of the Utica team of the New
York state league is that Johnny"
Bosk, the former Bennington pitcher.
has signed to play with Utica for the
coming season. II was rumored re-
Gently that Bosk would be unable to
play this year because of the injury
he received in his home town, Fitch
burg, last season when he sus-
tanned a fractured skull when hit by
a pitched ball, but he has evidently
made a better recovery than was for
a time expected. No ball player who
ever wore a Bennington uniform had
more friends here than Bosk and they
are all hoping that he will make good
with Utica.
