Only One Governor.

Governor Suzer has shown good judgment in
bowling to the decision of the Supreme Court in the
Third Judicial District and acknowledging the sus-
pension Of his functions during the continuance OF
the impeachment proceedings When Lieutenant
Governor Glynn assumed power as acting Governor
there was good deal Of doubt to whether he
was entitled to do The provisions Of the consti-
tuition were indefinite and conflicting and had never
been judiciay interpreted.
The Tribune suggested at the time that the courts
ought to be asked 10 pass on the question and 1t Il
TO Mr. Suffers credit that he not only invited Mr..
Glynn to Join him in presenting the issue, but that
when Mr. Glynn refused he went ahead singly and
carried the question into the Supreme Court by
granting pardon 10 Robin
The court decided against the Governor all along
the line, and there is opportunity now left 10
carry the matter to the Court Of Appeals. II is
therefore only common sense for the Governor TO
accent the situation as it is and to let Mr.. Glynn
discharge without hindrance the duties which. ac-
cordng TO Justice Hasbroucks ruling, have dcyOlyel
OH the Lieutenant Governor I'd interim. Orderly
procedure requires that the state shall have but
head at a time. Mr.. Suffers recession has happily
terminated the spectacle OF civil disruption at Al
bany which has offended public opinion here and dis
credited New York in the eyes Of the country.

IT'S MEAN TO BE DIGNIFIED
But Truly American to Turn Flip
Flaps

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune's venomous attacks
on William J. Bryan because he delivers
Chautauqua lectures are a fine example
of the hopeless proyinclalism of New
York City journalism. You seem to be
incapable Of getting the point OF view OF
the average American outside OF New
York. You say that Mr.. Bryan has no
right 10 make an ass of the country by
appearing on the same bill with yodelers
and other entertainers. How does IL
lower Mr.. Bryan or reflect on the Office
OF Secretary of State TO address the same
audiences as these entertainers do?
The simple truth is that the ordinary
citizen glories In the democracy OF so
distinguished an American when he
speaks under these circumstances. He
knows these entertainments are respec-
table and msrvels at the snobbery and
narrowness which frown upon il or seek
to place a halo on the head OF a high
Official
AS 10 the sordid habit OF accepting pay
for lectures. perhaps it would please New
Workers better II Mr.. Bryan we're TO

To Run or Not to Run Is Huerta's
Question.

The announcement that General Felix Diaz bias
been recalled to Mexico and that he is likely TO re-
ceive the support Of the provisional government in
pectation that General Huerta himself will not be
a candidate 1t may not be e1pedient for a procla-
nation to that effect to be made at the Mexican
capital The essential thing is that there shall In
fact be no such candidacy.
There is the more reason for expecting General
Huerta not to run because every day makes It the
more difficult for him 10 do without the most
Obvious trickery. We have ii on his own--or his
Foreign Mnister's-authority that he cannot CON
situtionally run If he retains his present place
provisional President. But the date of the election
is now getting near at hand lie might have quail
fed for election by retiring from the provisional
Presidency some time ago. To do tnat at the eev-
enth hour would be too palpabe trick for evading
the constitutions II would ALLEVIATE the better classes
Of Mexicans and would disgust the rest OF the
world
Either way the election went General Huerta
would be the loser If he were beaten, ne would
be Inundated and his future in Mexican politics
would be blighted. If he were elected. he would
suffer the odium Of having won by means Of a trick.
at the expense Of the plain meaning Of the consttu
ton We must assume him 70 be man Of discre-
ton and foresight to whom these considerations
obvious. Doubtless he wants to save his face" in
Mexico and to that end he may refrain from doing
what would seem like yielding TO American dcta-
ton while precisely the same end can be attained
in another way.

more successfully illuminated If the majors domo

Is a New York Dickens Needed !?

Judge Swami, in his complaint Of the overcrowd-
ing of the City Prison calls attention for the thou
sandth time TO the evils of the laws delay. The
congestion is due he truly says to the form Of legal
procedure which prevails here and which is anti
quated, cumbersome, complicated prolix and filled
with possibilities Of almost interminable delay; and
relief is to he had only through legislation thor
oughly amending the code.
couple Of generations ago legal procedure in
England was in similar respects the worst in the
world. Dickens paid special attention to it in a
number Of his best works, putting both typical law
yers and the system in an everlasting pillory of
ridicule scorn and rebuke. Since then and largely
because of Dickens's scathing exposure of abuses,
the procedure has been radically reformed, until
now ii is one Of the best in the world.
For years complaints, protests and what not have
been made against the evil here but in spite Of all
1t persists and increases Can it be that we
are waiting for some American Dickens TO compel
the doing Of the work which lawyers judges and
legislators know needs to be done, but which none
of them seem able or willing to do?
