AFTER HUERTA, DIAZ?

Felix Daz, nephew of Porfrio of that house
initiator of the Vera Cruz revolution which ended
III fasco and coparner of Huerta in the carnival of
treason and assassination which made Huerta die
tator, announces himself a candidate for President
of Mexico at the October election. Huerta has in
dicated that he will not be candidate.
Should Huerta keep his pledge, it may be as
sumed that he will lend the official and military sup
port of his regime to Daz In that event, Diaz would
probably have the presidency stolen for him, and
the theft would quite close to constitutional
regularity as did some Of the elections of the elder
Diaz, notably that of 1910. The United States, hav-
ing recognized those elections regular, could not
we'll make different rule to bar Felix Diaz.
What would be the gain to substitute Diaz for
Huerta? Diaz betrayed Madero, attempted re-
VOLT failed was captured, and, because of the hu-
mainly of Madero had his life spared, when, by all
Mexican precedents, he should have been taken out
and hanged From his cell he conducted the con-
spiracy that ended in the betrayal of Madero and his
undoing
There is no choice between Huerta and Diaz.
One is as bad as the other They are tarred with
the same stick, partners in the same unspeakabe
crimes agents of the same exploiting interests,
backed by the same military and political forces, de-
voted to the same purposes of looting their country
and subjugating its people.
The Diaz candidacy will be found vastly to COM
rlicate our relations with Mexico. There is every
reason why Washington should bar Diaz from the
succession that holds in the case of Huerta An hon.
est election of Diaz is impossible. Yet to prevent
dishonest one would require complete reversal OF
the Wilson policy of noninterference
Diaz's declaration that he will run for President
has the ring of a new defiance to Washington
Seemingly the butchers now in control at Mexico
City are bent upon exasperating Washington to the
last degree on forcing it to make actual war Diaz
has taken step which makes just that event more
easily possible than anything short of like candi-
oacy by Huerta himself could do.

A WEST POINT INQUIRY.

Chairman Hay, of the Military Affairs CON-
mittee, is going to have searching investigation
into the management of West Point. He thinks the
discipline is unduy rigorous and that too much is
exacted from the young me1 of the cadet corps.
As to both Annapolis and West Point there has
long been feeling that the faculties considered it
their foremost duty to make it impossible for young
men to pass the examinations. They have seemed
to take pride in plucking as many as possible, in
order that others might take their placeS-to be
rlucked in turn.
1t is senseless to expect the impossible of STU
dents, and in some cases the academy requirements
verge closely on the impossible. Moreover, the ex-
IRENE rigors open an easy way to discrimination and
favoritism. 1t is too often charged and too widely
believed that the two academies are so conducted
that sons of army and navy families have better
chance to be admitted, to pass examinations 10 grad
uate and get commissions, than other young men
Perhaps that charge is groundess; none the less II
is made, and with increasing frequency If it is well

WALTER JOHNSON'S HARD LUCK.

There is something pathetic and dramatic in the
break in the winning streak of Walter Johnson, Wash
ingtons famous pitcher. After amassing a total Of
fourteen straight wins, Johnson is defeated in the
best game of baseball he has pitched in his six years
service To hold the opposition to one hit for ten
innings during which but one man reached second
base and then to have his roommate lose the contest
by an error is an added blow.
Johnson, however, needs no further proof of great
ness, although he missed the chance of creating a
worlds record for straight wins, which would have
created another record for wins and losses in sea-
son.
But that's the kind of thing that makes baseball
the greatest of games When the greatest of pitchers
can lose the greatest game he pitched, it proves
at least that there are people than the pitchers

NEW BUILDINGS
 OF HOSPITAL ARE
 DEDICATED TODAY
Rev. James c. O'Brien, Former ly of This City, Pronounces Benediction at Stamford.

Stamford, Sept. 2o-The new build ings of the Stamford hospital, on Hub bard's Hill were dedicated, this af- ternoon. Hundreds of persons dur ing the day visited the institution to inspect the new parts. The hospital represents an outlay of $400,0O0 of which $160,0O Twas contributed by the directors and fncorporators and much of the remainder by popular subscrip- tton. The buildings stand upon a site of F acres in extent, donated by Al bert Crane and are of brick and fire proof. An isolation hospital for con- tagious cases is a considerable dis tance from the main structures. These include power plant, kitchen, laundry, etc.
 It is claimed that in it's plan and equipment the new hospital is superior to any of it's size in the country.
 The Stamford hospital was estab- lished in 1893 and until, now has oc- cupied a building on East Main street which was formerly a residence.
 Edwin L. Scoheld, president of the hospital corporation, presided at the dedication exercises and accepted the keys from George B. Post the archi- tect who had received them from A. R. Whitney of the contracting firm. Addresses were made by pr. S. s. GoIdwater, of New York; Mayor Wal ter G. Austin and Dr. J. Smith Dodge, of Stamford. Prayer was offered by Rev. Howard A. Johnston, DID,, pas tor of the Presbyterian church, and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. James c. O'Brien. pastor of St. Johns Roman Catholic church.
 In connection with the dedication of the Stamford hospital buildings, to- day, it is recalled that only short time ago the hospital accommodations in this city were taxed to their utmost. That was at the time of the collision Of I1n fxzo of he SnriO express at the Stamford station, on June 12.

GIRL SUICIDES

 FOR SIX MONTHS

Chicago, Sept. 20.-socia1 welfare workers were interested today in the fate of Selma Peterson, a 19 year old girl employed in a clothing factory, who committed suicide after she had lived six months on meals which food experts said were sufficient to sustain life. Her reasons for her act was giv- en in a note:
 Wages too low. Life not worth 1iv- ing-''
 In notebook she had set down weekly expenditures, showing that meals, room rent, carfare and laundry took SIPS of her $S wages. There were entries which stated that her daily diet consisted of the following:
 For breakfast coffee and rolls; for dinner, beef stew and milk, rice pud- ding; for supper, fruit salad, graham crackers and milk.
 Shortly before the girl died she re- gained consciousness. To a physician she said:
 Doctor, did you ever live for six months on 20 cent d1nners?'
 The menus in the girls diary were submitted to an expert on food values who asserted it contained all of the clements necessary to support life.
