A Speedy Election and Constitu
tional Government in Mexico.

The Tribune's special cable adyices from Mexico
City yesterday morning were far more welcome
than the lurd press dispatches of an hour oerore'
and were also more accurate. 1t seemed lhcreuioie
that General Huerta could have become so utterly
mad as to issue few hours ulumatum 10 tne
United States peremptorily demanding recoeni-
ton of himself as constitutional President Inc
verest tyro in International law knows that there
is nothing on which every sovereign nation Is more
a law unto itself without even the Ned or giving
Ereasons or explanations, than the mSher OF recog
snizing other powers A demand under penalty for
srecogniton would be a Inonstrosity.
Upon whatever extravagant or misunderstood
lutterance the story was based, 1t Is agreeable 10
F1now that 1t is altogether repudiated by General
luera and his ministers and that at the very hour
when he was reported to be preparing 10 cry
s-Havoc and let slip the dogs Of war the de fdoto
president of Mexico was in amicabe conference
with the personal representative Of the President
kof the United States.
! The conference with Mr.. Lind may have been
sntended only as diplomatic courtesy to THIS coun
TRY but even such a courtesy was greater than was
srecenty expected 1t indicates a more reason
sable disposition than was supposed to exist rev
ldays ago. when people were wondering II MT Llhu
would be permitted to land or to proceed TO the
mexican capital: and there was much superhea'eu
talk about his being elected from Mexico unless lie
compiled with certain impossible conditions
II General Huerta declines mediation, as is re-
ported we do not see that the power Of the Amerl-
can administration TO influence the situation IN
Mexico will be exhausted Though he may decline
mediation Huerta has desire to afront this coun-
try His troubles would be increased by our recog-
MIXING the Mexican rebels or permitting them TO
purchase arms here. He will not want either OF
these actions to be taken and will therefore be dis
posed TO listen to reason.
The end at which this country should aim Is
plain Mexico should be got upon a constitutional
basis as soon as possible An election should be
held in Mexico at the earliest available date. The
election should be real election, at least as nearly
a real one as Is possible to hold In country where
popular government is at'so rudimentary a stage as
in Mexico And General Huerta, who is repre-
scented as being in doubt whether or not to run for
tho Presidency. should be persuaded not to run.
This course would speedily furnish Mexico with
government which this country could recognize.

SUFFERS SLATE CLEAN
So a Reader Declares In View Of the
Governor Fight.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

part OF the newspapers OF this city TO try.

dence presented by an ex parte Quitting
II mildly committee. without hearing Mr..
Suffers defence

Gus funds. have often deposited checks for
those funds 10 my personal account in
the bank. I myself have signed state
ments or reports made out by bookkeep-
ers or others. believing them 10 be cor
rect. and afterward found there were mis-
takes in them.
Yet am not criminal, because In the
first instance I afterward made an ac-
counting and replaced the amount OF the
checks used. and never had any intention
OF doing otherwise.
am not criminal. because in the sec
ond instance believed the statements or
reports we're correct and had no intention
OF misleading any one.
IL there any evidence to show that
william Sulzer has done anything any
worse than / did as confessed above?
Perhaps he is guilty as charged by his
enemies. Finding himself elevated by the
fates to an Office and an opportunity for
great service TO his fellows, he has used
every effort In his power TO properly per-
form that service. In doing so he has
braved the persecution and hatred OF a
powerful organization.
In doing so he has exposed himself to
attacks and dangers tperhaps even DEATH
which powerful and INSCRIPTIONS or
Ranization has turned upon him. The
rare courage and desire to do his duty In
the face OF appalling dangers which this
man has shown have, In my mind, wiped
the slate clean so far as his character is
concerned. @. Il. NORTHRUP.

The Danger of Being Unmarried.

II you are unmarried and at the same time a
member of the despised male SEX the statistics
put forward by the Equitable Life Assurance Society
may well cause you to hang your head Thirtynne
out of hundred male adults are unmarried, de
clare these omnous figures. Also. there are nine
million unmarried women above the age Of fifteen I'm
the United States Says the report In commenting
upon this condition:
While an army Of single men are lavshing their
earnings and their affections upon themselves and
many Of them developing extravagant and often
vicious habits--an existence which they prefer to
an orderly, economical married life-another great
army Of young women are forced TO toll In our
factories and business houses for the necessities OF
life.
AS gOad 10 the reluctant man, the Equitable ex-
pert proceeds to cite alarming figures, showing how
unsafe 1t is to remain unmarried The death rate
among unmarried men is 81 per cent greater than
among married men for the period of twenty to
twenty nine years Of age From thirty to thirty
nine It IS 119 per cent greater risky thing not to
have wife evidently.
True as this is, we refuse to let all the blame
rest upon the shoulders Of mere man The present
habit of postponing marriage should be very seri
Gus concern Of society. But any fair consideration
OF the facts will fix the responsibility quite az much
upon women as upon men. In our view reluctance
to marry belongs to neither sex alone and Is but
one Of many outward and visible signs OF the whole
feminist movement, the experts love to call
it. 1t flows from variety Of causes economic, So
cia psychological. Nothing but sane and frank
treatment Of the whole woman question in its every
aspect will solve the problem raised.
And by that time shall have new woman's
problem to make life exciting and worth living, let
us fervently hope and pray.

is not the case. The duration OF fire re-

Contracts and Indictments.

1t is notorious that the good roads all over tne

tributed $5OOOO0OO and made beginning on an
other $5OOOOOOO have been anything but good III

The Pocket and Emancipation.

No woman has right to call herself emancpateu
unless she has pocket. Every woman should nave
at least one pocket The statements are made Oh

women movement who intends to devote hersei
also TO the new issue, pockets for Women.
There seems to be a natural connection between
feminine emancipation and the pocket, place lor

pocket would be unquestlonable But what about

The Prospects with Regard to Thaw.

Canada is likely to send Thaw back to this coun-
try as an undesirable alien, just as this country

bring him back to Matteawan. If he is returned

Estate authorities, but be will doubt be arrested
An New Hampshire and can be secured and brought
to New York under Indictment for some offence
lconnected with his escape So there appears to be
every likelihood that he will be back in GUS
ltody at Matteawan
: When he is there again the careessness which
resulted in his escape should The strictest
confinement should be his lot in the future. The
Flaw which permits plotters to hold private converse
with him in the asylum should be changed. The
law which permits him to require the courts to re-
try his case at frequent intervals should be
changed. And the states generally should agree to
extradite fugitive criminal insane persons, Just
they extradite other criminals Society needs to be
better protected from homicidal manacs like Thaw
than It now is.

The Jeremiad of Senator Tillman.

The extravagant plea which Senator Tilman
pitchforked into the suffrage controversy has dis
pleased the ants quite as much rs 1t has aroused
the suffragists. A dlatribe, not argument, It Is
called
The trouble with such outpouring is that 1t
proves altogether too much. If the Senator from
South Carolina Is right, family life has broken
down in the United States and country IS totter-
ing to its fall. Such being the case why worry
about a tri1e like woman suffrage?
The eveheaded anti-suffragsts fall into such
error They do not attempt to put the blame for d-
vorce on the suffragists-Or view such evils fatal
diseases Nor do they insist that women cannot
contribute more largely to the public life than in
the past.
They base their argument on the obvious fact that
women in general do not wish TO vote and they
make the reasonable plea that women would find
the duties involved in casting the ballot heavy
and futile burden that would hamper not aid their
usefulness.

The Billboard and Sky Sign Nuisance
