Chaos in Mexico.

The notice given to the Mexican government by
President Wilson that he will not recognize the CON
sttutionay Of the election ordered for October ~
is perhaps logical development of the admins
trations policy Yet the election was the one thing
necessary establish that appearance Of regularity
which the President has made, and In the main
rightly an indispensable prerequisite to recognition
by this government of Mexican chief executive
deriving his power by popular grant. The last hope
Of obtaining a declaration OF the popular Will fall
Ing in which direction shall the United States look
for an opportunity Of re-estabshing official rela-
tons with Mexico?
Nothing said In defence of General Huerta Will
be heard with much liberation by the American pub
lic He is self seeking military dictator and
usurper Yet It must be regretted that the conces-
sion Of prompt popular election dragged from him
by President Wilson must now be allowed to be
come worthless for American purposes through the
turbulence and perfdy of the man who gave 1t.
1t looks as if chaos Is ahead in Mexico and as If
the United States in order to protect its own inter
ests would have to modify the attitude Of neutral
moral pressure which promised so well at the out
set, but which has failed to do its work.

Why Secret Sessions

Senator Elon R. Browns complaint that an Al
bany newspaper published mistaken account Of
bis activities in Mondays secret session Of the High
Court of Impeachment emphasizes the undesirabiity
of secrecy in the conduct Of Impeachment trial.
Why should the court wish to sit behind closed
doorsf Courts of justice are supposed to be open,
and in the settlement Of grave constitutional ques-
lions such as are involved in the impeachment Of
Governor Sulzer the public is entitled to all the light
it can possibly get from the deliberations OF the
body appointed to try him.
Why hedge about with secrecy debate on the
sufciency Of the articles submitted the advisa-
biity Of considering their enlargement by the court
itself? 1t does not seem as If any public interest
can be served or protected by carrying on in private
debates on the interesting questions of procedure
which must arise in a technically complicated case
like that made against the Governor. The mem
bers of the High Court of Impeachment are all act
iny as. public agents. Why should they not make a
complete public record of all they do and say?

The "Anti-Murphy" Head of the
Murphy Ticket Gets an At
tack of Nerves.

Mr. Mccall is incensed because some newspapers
The Tribune among them-have ventured TO as
sume critical attitude toward his assertion that
no Is mo mans man." He contends that question
inc his professions as a candidate contrasting his
-avowed good intentions with his past record as
politician is abuse Of the freedom OK tne press
If he lives long enough, he says, he is going u
curb the license of the "cowardy editors VINO nave
annoyed him by suggesting that If he Is elected ne
viii forget all that nonsense about being the lead
ing "anti-Murphyite' on the Murphy ticket ana I'VE
nm 70 the standards of loyalty" TO which he as
Tammany man Of thirty years standing has been
faithfully trained.
That Mr. Mccall should shy at the attribution to
him by political opponents Of the sterling virtue OF
fidelity shows that he is suffering from badly shat
+orad nerves. In his own household exactly the
same commitment has been paid him by men who
have long looked at politics from his point of view
When he was designated for Mayor by the Del
mopico Council Of Eight big Tim" Foley explained
that he was chosen in preference to Gaynor because
he was "a man of our kind" Colonel Asa Bro
Gardiner recently found cause for jubilation at
Tammany gathering in the fact that Mr.. Mccall
was not an migrate" like Mayor Gaynor or Mayor
Mcclellan II ninetenths of the Murphy following
In this city should speak their true sentiments they
would also say that the present candidate for Mayor
was friend and brother to mstrust whose
stanchness IN time Of need would be to deny the
milk Of human kindness its SAVIOR and to abandon
faith in the fundamental verlties Of life.
Only candidate with nerves on edge and lack
ing the saving grace Of humor could persist In de-
picting himself as mo mans man" after particl-
batting personally in the Delmonico Council at which
he was designated. He was thoroughly familiar
with the processes OF that designation and with all
the obligations which its acceptance implied What
has Mr. Mccall ever done to show his indifference
or hostility to Murphy? He has been one of the
inner circle of Tammany advisers for years, and 1t
is ludicrous for him to attempt to dupe the public
at this late hour with few vague professions of
independence like IT follow no bel-wether.'
If he wants to prove that he is, as "The Sun
SAYS an "antiMurphy" candidate on a Murphy
ticket, he should issue a real declaration Of war
against Murphy instead Of merely getting irritated
when The Tribune and other newspapers point out
that there is not the faintest trace Of anti-Mur-
phyism in his record. That would be much surer
way of confounding his critics than threatening to
chastise them for msusing the liberties Of the press

TEACHING AND SCRUBBING
Mothers Do the Latter, Why Not tae
Former?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Franklin ID. Clum, NJ. D., asks,
How can woman be a wife and n
mother and a teacher In public school at
one and the same timer" The answer IS:
Some OF them have to be wives. mothers
and breadwinners at one and the same
time, and they have as good right TO
teach school as to scrub office floors or
work in sweatshops. The doctor does not
seem concerned about these.
He says It is a mans duty to support his
wife and children, so that she Will not be
obliged to neglect her home and children.
Right no is. But not every man does his
duty. The very fact that the mother
wishes to continue teaching after bearing
a child, leaving 1t in the care of others, Is
evidence that ii is necessary woman
does not teach school over eighteen years
just for pleasure or pure cussedness.
II II Is any Of the Board Of Educators
business how the money is spent which
they pay teachers, II is quite as good
cause TO spend 1t raising children OF the
good stock of teachers as to spend it for
freakish fads in clothing. A mother is not
more apt to become inefficient with her
babe In the care of a nurse than girl Is
TO be thinking OF her beau or of getting
one. GEORGE NJ. BlERBOWEh.

Canal Builders as Operators.

That is wise decision OF the Washington gov
eminent to retain the military engineers in charge
Of the Panama Canal for some time after its open
ing; at least until 1t has been thoroughly tested and
the passage Of commerce through it has become
commonplace. 1t is quite obvious that nobody else
could do the work so readily with much assur-
ance Of success as the who have for years been
planning and preparing for it and who have actu-
ally constructed the plant
Indeed, it might not be bad scheme to retain
them permanently on the work. That would not,
of course interfere with the general civil govern
ment Of the Canal Zone The extensive fOrtifca-
tons which are being constructed there will require
the constant presence Of a considerable military
establishment, and It might really simplify matters
and doubly safeguard the canal to have that estab-
shment include the direction of the operating force

The Crime of Marriage.

Having been so successful in ferreting out Grim
inals among our married women teachers who actu-
allv had the brazen immortality to have children
orr BOARD of Education now seeks other fields to
conquer. General Wingate, one of the sterneSt
moralists on the list suggests mat marriage itself
shall bar woman from teaching.
There is at least real logic in this view 10 per-
NIT q woman to teach after marriage, but TO Gust
her II she has child, is about as inconsistent ana
immoral stand as a supposedly intelligent and
moral body of men could take. To adopt General
Wingate's suggestion would at least relieve the
hoard Of the odium of actively instigating wrong.
or course such insignificant ideals as efficient
teaching and justice to women are quite another
affair. BY the time the members Of the board
awake to the Importance of these topics they will
probably have been long since legislated out OF
existence.

yoturnos loss and there should be every effort to

But. thanks to a vigorous campaign. every reason
able reform suggested by the facts has been writ

SUFFRAGE IN CALIFORNIA
The ANTS Charges Meet a Flat
Denial.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: An authoritative answer to the re-
cent attack made on equal suffrage in
California by Miss Alice Hi Chittenden
has been drawn up by the chairman OF
the California State Board of Control.
John Francis Neylan.
Miss Chttenden claimed that there had
been an extravagant increase In expendi-
ture since women got the ballot. Mr..
Neylan points out that the increase has
been less than In any previous biennial
period In California's history. She said
the last Legislature created thirty-one
commissions which would cost the state
s, 100000 a year. 1t created only six COM
missions, four OF which were unsalar!ed,
and the money appropriated for all six
OF them totalled only little over tenth
OF 100000 Miss Chittenden said the
state funds were so depleted that Cali
fornia could not make any appropriation
for the Panama Pacific Exposition The
state made an appropriation of $S.Wc,oU
for this purpose-a much larger sum than
Illinois appropriated for the Worlds Fair
In Chicago or Missouri for the exposition
in St Louis Miss Chittenden claimed
that there had been too many useless In
vestigations. Mr.. Neylan says there have
been nineteen In all. sixteen of them
made by the State Board Of Control. OF
which he is chairman. In each of these
sixteen cases the official investigated con-
fessed his guilt and was forced to refund
his stealings. Mr.. Neylan knows all about
recent conditions In California, and Is
able to cut up completely Miss Chitten-
denis Comedy OF Errors.

trained on a child's mud fort the destruc-
ton could hardly be more complete. MT
