Carranza and the Truce Question.

Carranza and villa would be strangely unself1sn
statesmen if they should consent at this Juncture
70 a suspension Of their campaign aga inst Huerta
They are not involved directly In the Huerta gov
ernments troubles with the United States. Their
revolutionary movement has made rapid progress
Monterey has fallen into their hands at little cost
and SaItillo is now the only Huera outpost left
in Northern Mexico
They can probably capture Saltillo if they move
against il promptly, and its fall would make it i'm
possibe for Huerta to defend Tampico much longer
Carranza is already planning to move the Const
nationalist capital from chihuahua TO Monterey
Long before any settlement by mediation could be
expected the revolutonists, by continuing fighting
could dslodge the Federals far south the
line from Tampco to san Luis Potosi and Iaca-
tecas.
The relations which have existed between the
Wilson administration and the Constituencies
do not Justify insistence in Washington that
truce between the Consttutionalists and HuertaS
forces shall be made a preliminary to mediation
Such a demand could be based only on the theory
that the United States is going to undertake
thoroughgoing intervention in Mexico Events
may drive Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Bryan 10 that
course but clearly against their will. So far n
they have gone their policy logically allows Car
rama and Villa free hand in occupying and Or

WORDS A SAFETY VALVE
Fanatics Should Be Protected and

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The exhibition of bad taste that
is being seen in connection with the
melancholy Colorado incidents should
evoke our pity rather than our anger.
The mourners do not seem 10 realize that
Mr. Rockefeller is Just as much victim
of the false ideals which have gradually
instituted the captalistic system as the
miners or even themselves.
1t should be obvious that when the
noblest sentiments of love and sympathy
provoke perfectly nice individuals TO
mourn publicly. 10 stamp, spit and call
names. something is wrong. and it is TO
the interest of every one to find out just
what il is.
One thing has been abundantly proven,
that Selling agitators and running them
off to Jail does not produce any lasting
benefits, though it amuses Office boys TO
see them go.
Agitators in any walk Of life are the
most vital sign OF life in the body polite.

The response to the large and small meetings

dence that the question of granting the ballot |"

In This state the question is practically certain to
come before the voters soon. Probably majority
of both men and women have yet to make up their
minds whether suffrage is wise or not. The sur
fragists do well to the fullest and frecst

passage over q muddy and turbulent
estuary constitute a journey TO a foreign
country where modes of speech. habits OF
thought and styles of architecture arc so
fundamentally different from Manhattan
Mr. Wall complains that the price OF
lots in Brooklyn is only one-thlrd that Of
lots in The Bronx, at the same distance
from City Hall. and with truly Brooklyn
reasoning he proposes as a remedy the
election of a BroOklynite for Governor. II
as the result OF such election the price OK
lots goes up IL would be good for the land
owners, but what OF the tenants? A seri-
Gus obstacle In the way OF his proposal
would be the impossibility OF getting
n ajority Of the electors TO agree on any
one for the place. Even Gaynor, sener-
ally conceded 10 be- the greatest man
whom Brooklyn has recently harbored

of the electorate.

sometimes forced 10 live there. Tor some
years they struggle against submersion IN

success. Finally they give up the struggle
and join the local church or the tax
