Mediation Saved from Failure.

II was dramatic coincidence that the Niagara
Falls conferrees signed their incomplete peace
protocol just as the news was arriving that Gen
eral Villas forces had captured Zacatecas 1t
almost seemed as if the mediators had calculated
20 a nicely their retreat from the untenabie po-
sition which had long deadocked the negotiations.
Mediation would have gone completely the
rocks if the original mistake had been persisted
in of trying to deal with the internal situation in
Mexico without consulting the opinions and wishes
OF the excluded COnstitutionalists.
1t became evident some time ago that the selec-
ton of a provisional President to succeed Huerto
could not be wisely undertaken by three Huer-
tista and two American delegates acting in con-
cert with the representatives of the A B powers
Had the revolution been confined TO one or two
northern states, and had. its power been waning
instead Of waxing, the conference could have af-
forded to ignore it in setting up new and better
order in Mexico. But the sweep Of Villas vic
tories upset any such project. The plan which
the mediators had been trying to work on became
unworxable after the capture Of Monterey, Tam
pico and Saltillo. Villas triumph at zacatecas
would have hopelessly bankrupted it,
Fortunately the mediators changed front in time

arrest of American sailors at Tampico and the
seizure of Vera Cruz, they have now paved the
way for a renewal of friendly relations between
the United States and the President who is TO sue

with Huerta rather than with the Mexican people

internationally the dispute is adjusted or fairly

the mediators deserve cordial thanks. 1t might be
said that in view Of the generous inchnations Of
the administration at Washington It would have
been possible to settle the international question
within a week. The Constitutionalsts were but

Prison PRIVILEGES for Merit.

Wardens Of the state prisons have received in
structions from Superintendent Riley to classify
their prisoners into three grades, according TO
their behavior within the walls Convicts with
perfect record for six months 80 into the first
grade. with desirable privileges. Those with good
records. but variable, 90 into the second grade,
with fewer privileges. In the third grade are the
hardened vlolators of prison regulations.
This is more sensible classification than the
old method Of grouping the cOnvicts according TO
the degree Of their crimes or the number Of terms
they had served previously. 1t permits the treat
ment of the prisoners on their records behind the
walls and offers an incentive to good behavior
there Such an incentive easily might produce
genuine improvement of character, which is what
prisons are desired to do, but have notably failed
tc do under old-fashiOned neglect brutality, lack
of sanitation and the rest Of the hopeless cOndi-
tions which characterize Sing Sing, for instance.
If the wardens carry out this new scheme intelli-
gently it should be better for the men both while
they are prisoners and after they leave the prison
life behind them

Anti.Cricket.

The beadmaster Of Elton and other distinguished
citizens of England who set out to abolish goii
with harsh words have bit off more than they
expected Their chief aim was to uphold cricket
sadly waning in popularity Their chief result
has been to stir the anticricketers into Wild out
bursts of scorn. Golf or cricket? Give them golf
every time!
One has only TO recall how intimately cricket
has been bound up with the empire TO realize
what the present proclamation amounts to. Shades
Of Tom Brown and the Duke of Wellington! What
trembling pen can reproduce the words uttered
by rude anglo Canadian so signing himself
to a letter in "The London Times? He reports
his experience with "our national game" recent
experience occurring at Sheringham some two
years ago
"AnClo.C canadian" went up to the Recreation
Ground for game Of tennis There he was seized
by a cricketer in authority and impored to save
the honor of the town by playing cricket for its
team. The writer did not want to play cricket
He wanted to play tennis. But the mention OF
Engand's greatness. the Duke of Wellington, etc,
so melted his resolution that he agreed to play.
His team won the toss-or lost it. At any rate
il Dated first At II a. m he began TO play
game. From II to "AngloCanadian' smoked ht-
teen cigarettes, read the whole Of "The Daily
Telegraph" and umpired a mems four. Don't
forget he insists that he was playing cricket all
the timeD Then he ate a large quantity Of food.
Still playing cricket from until 3, he finished
his packet Of cigarettes and read The DAILY
Mail" Then he went in to bat and for ten minutes
was busy getting sixteen runs. Continuing the
game from 315 to 4:15, he borrowed cigarettes
and explained how he came TO leave his pouch at
home. For several icons after 4:15 he stood
rooted to one or two spots in the arena both re-
mote from the centre Of disturbance. Once in
decade ball came his way. Lastly, the game
ing been arrived at
Following this account of a days cricket. anglo
Canadian" announces that he has given up play
ing games and plays psstimes instead. He sticks
to tennis. wherein he runs about twenty miles
of an afternoon, without time to light match
let alone smoke a cigarette. Or he turns to the
fierce contest involved in the paStme Of golf
The finer characteristics of mankind may come
only to cricketers but this critic cares not
What he seeks is, primarily, bodily exercise and
secondarily the spirit Of emulation
To my mind the finest ball games are baseball and
hockey on the ice; the latter incomparably the
swftest game of all. Then football, then
lacrosse, then racuuets, then lawn tennis then golf
then billiards, then puff-ball, then marbles, then
cricket.
For such an ungFateful child no punishment
can be too severe. We suggest that that anglo
Canadian be set to playing cricket for the rest
of his natural life.

A SUFFRAGE SIGNPoST
Indicating What May Prevail it
Women Get the Vote.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some of the utterances of the
leaders in the vote chasing movement
suggest to the minds of many that it
might be we'll for the onlooker 10
heed the admonition set at railroad
crossings, "Stop! Look! Listen!"
A business man, In conversation
with an ardent suffragist, was amazed
TO learn to what lengths the women
are going in their endeavor to obtain
the coveted ballot. ! quote as nearly
as possible her own words.
az neither believe in God nor man,
although brought up a Roman Catho-
lie. The Church, in my opinion, has
been the great agency in holding back
women. The best thing ever done IN
England and the most hopeful sign
in the suffrage movement is the
burning of churches. Votes are not
the whole of our scheme. They are
but the means to an end. You Ameri-
can men think there is no militancy
here, but just fail to give US the vote
in 1915, and you will see militancy
like in England
Such sentiments are a danger signal
TO the indifferent, and to those who say
LET them vote il they want to-" Here
in New York State we must consider
well what it would mean to our
commonwealth if erratic women like
the one quoted above should be given
a hand in law-making.

T. R. FOR GOVERNOR
A Bully" Candidate to Save the
Situation, Thinks Reader.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | notice in your news columns
that former Governor Benjamin Odell
has been giving his Republican breth-
rem some good advice. There is prob
ably no man in the State of New York
who knows more about the ms and outs
of politics than this same Newburgh
citizen.
When he was chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee Republicans
and defeat were strangers.
He tells The Tribune readers that it
is time for the Republicans and Pro-
gressives to bury the Ratchet if they
want to win the next election.
If they don't it is very plain from
the Odell point of view that the next
Governor of the state is going TO be
Democrat.
There is only one man who can save
the situation, and that is T. r. To
unite the Republicans and Progressives
T. +. might change his mind and run
for Governor. Wouldn't that be just
bully? }. l.. IL. I.

ner No insurance company would ever undertake
to write a certain kind Of insurance without

A BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE
Only Way to Protect Themselves,
Says One Who Suffers.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: President Wilson thinks that
business men are conspiring to defeat
certain legislation on which he has
set his heart. / think he is more than
half right. But he is wrong when
he says the conspirators are big in
terests and dishonest business. The
"conspirators" are straight, honest
business men, both small and large,
just beginning to fight for their very
existence.
Mr.. Vanderlip, in his speech in
Newark last night, said: "Many of the
recent legislative proposals are no
more ineligible than the famous
cubist composition entitled A Nude
Descending a Staircase. | think he
is more than half right.
Do we business men realize our
present position as regards the max
ing and administration of laws to
regulate the conduct of our own
private business? Do we business
men realize that we have no influence
in the moulding of the laws which
decide what we may or may not do in
the conduct of our own business? Do we
business men realize that Congress is
composed largely of lawyers, the vast
majority of whom know absolutely
nothing of the needs and require
ments of business, and who seemingly
lie awake nights conjurlng new
methods by which honest business is
hampered and made difficult?
The government by the same law
compels the railroad TO maintain one
price, prohibits the manufacturer
from doing so, and encourages the
pirate" class, "the Anarchists IN bust
ness" to cut prices and misrepresent
merchandise to the injury of all
decent merchants and the lowering of
all business standards. The whole
sale merchant is permitted to sell
goods from his trunks to the retail
dealer, but is prohibited from deliver
ing what he has sold-the goods he
has sold must be shipped by express
from some other point. Did business
men shape these laws? Hardly!
The laborer has his union, the
farmer has his grange-why not the
Business Mems League embracing the
whole country and every kind of BUSH
ness; a league so powerful that its
plea for sane and just laws could not
De ignored. Trade organizations and
boards of trade are very good IN their
way, but they lack the power that
would be concentrated in one vast
organization where each individual is
personally and vitaily interested.
Shall this league be established and
for business men only?

THE DIALOGUES
Their Government of the American
People Is Criticised.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There seems TO be confusion
recently as TO what a government is
good for. The average American ex-
poets his government to protect his
interests-and those interests do not
merely consist in the right to live.
In private lite a reasonable man can
not complain if he owes money and
is justly evicted from his home; but
if he is the right sort he would
Not only have the just interests OF
sacrificed by the government, but a
more serious consequence threatens
us-loss of prestige ana national
supremacy. The dialogues forget
that all through history the truth has
been demonstrated that a nation
must either be dominant or go under.
We see the same sentimental in
depreciation bringing business dis
aster at home. The catalogues in
their campaign against just business
activities justify themselves merely
by the cry of "the interests" As a
matter of common sense, no man
thinks anything of a government that
does not protect his interests. IL Dy
good fortune, hard work or inherit
ance, he acquires properties, he ez-
poets to be protected in his property
rights. The attitude of a government
opposed to such just protection mere
ly encourages the idle, the envious
and the covetous who are against the
Interests" merely because they de.
sire TO bring on a change and despoh
those who have anything.
