THE MAYOR AND OLD HOME wEEK.

VAT TlLMINGToNIANs welcome the suggestion made by
w Mayor Howell that have another Old Home
Week celebration in this city October in connec
ton with the laying the cornerstone of the new mu
nicipal building.
Such event will be good for the people and good
for the city. It will break the dullness of the year
for the former and be Of great advertising value to
the latter.
The people, old and young, residents and visitors,
derived vast amount Of enjoyment from the Old Home
Week carnival held two years ago. The sentiment was
overwhelming that the time and money that delightful
function cost we'll expended.
Mayor Howell makes a studious effort to keep his Of
hc'al finger upon the public pulse. n was not until
he had discovered that it was beating in favor OF Old
Home Week that he called the City Hall conference and
suggested the propriey of beginning the agitation in
favor of the carnival.
There should be holding back by anyone City
Council and he other municipal departments the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce and other civic
social organizations and Individual citizens should man
ilest to get behind the Mayor and assist
him in working out the general and the detailed plans
To our merchants particularly the suggestion Of the
Mayor should be welcome The carnival will bring
our people of their homes for healthful enjoyment
IL will attract thousands visitors our city, il will
result in the securement for city of many columns
desirable and priceless advertising the American
newspapers, and it will produce a neghborly
feeling among citizens
Some may object TO the carnival the score that
will interfere with the orderly. flow of business So
it may for lite while. but lasting harm and much
lasting benefit will result from such interruption
The New Orleans Mardi Gras, for instance. interrupts
business through It the Crescent City better ad
vertised each year than through any other single
agency
II we are to have an Old Home Week celebration it
should be a scale in keeping with the dignity of
an aspiring city such have here and 1t is OF para
mount importance that time be lost in lining up tho
creative forces agreeing upon comprehensive plan
and getting the work unde~ way.

HuERrrs RESIGNATION AND FLIGHT.

=, ENERAL vlCToRIANO HUERTA no longer is pro-
VI visonal President Of Mexico. Recognizing the
utter hopeessness Of his position he formally resign
ed the presidency yesterday and Francisco Carbajal
appointed to succeed him pending resdiustment
of the internal affairs Of the republic Huerta's
tirement marks the inslorious end of administra-
ton which, in its infancy baptized with the blood
of Francisco Madero
With the way to the capital wide open to the Con-
stituonalists Carbaias tenure of office likely to be
short In reality. he selected merely to hold
the situation in hand pending the arrival Of the vic
torous nstituuonalists.
In offering his resignation Huerta said that II was
based the highest patriotism and complying with
supreme duty country" In reality it was based
the fact that he realized that in the temper of the
people OF Mexico, he must resign be gnominously
overthrown, and that too, in very short time. His
position had become untenabe. He made the best of
bad situation If he be wise he will lose time in get
ting out Of Mexico. The shameful and shameless way
in which he betrayed Francisco Madero and subse-
quenty countenanced his murder has forgot
ten forgiven There thousands Of Mexicans who
would be we'll pleased to inhict upon him the extreme
penalty for did close of the Madero ad-
ministraton II is doubted that promises immunity
will him II he remain in Mexico To the Madero
partsans victory by the Consttutlonalists would not
be complete It not featured by killing Of
who is looked upon the murderer of Madero and
his kinsmen and friends Huerta already has left
Mexico city Presumably he is endeaSoring to get out
of the country.
The really important thing about the retirement Of
Huerta is the effect Il will have upon the work of
composing the internal affairs of the republic Prevail
ing opinion is that ii simplihes the situation materially
and will facilitate the reconstruction upon lines
of lasting peace With Huerta out and Carbaia ready
TO get out at any time readiustment should seem to
call for IT, the great thing that remains TO be done
is to agree upon provisional President who can COM
mand the loyalty of all Mexcans pending election
and the selection by fair at that election of
President who represents Mexican sentiment to such
degree that his accession will not give another
revolution.

In any review Of political conditions
of the country II is an exceedingly op-
timistic Democrat who can perceive
any trend of popular sentiment TO
ward his party
AS in 1912, the hope Of the Demo-
cratic party lies solely in the division
OF its opponents, and as in 1912 indica-
tions are plain that the Democratic
vote will be much smaller this year
than in the past twenty years, smaller
than in the Presidential year. when
it was smaller than in 1896. 1900, or
1908.
In 1912 hundreds Of thousands of
former Republicans voted for the
Democratic candidate, not that they
had changed their political principles.
but through desire to defeat the Pro-
gressive or Republican candidate for
the Presidency.

SENATOR Du pONT AND THE SOUTH.

THERE are few men who played conspicuous part
the Northern side in the Civil War who are
popular in the Southland today than is Colonel
Henry A. DUPONT, senior United States Senator from
Delaware. That is due largely to the fact that not
withstandng he fought uncompromisingly and ehec-
lively for the preservation of the Union since the fna
surrender at Appomatox he has manifested delicate
and in many instances helpful regard for the sensi
biities Of the people Of the South The following edi
orai from the Washington Post aptly illustrates the
practical helpfuness which has featured the career of
the senior since the closed and particu-
lary since he has occupied official position which

have in nearly every instance, de.
parted from the Democratic camp
while the real Democratic voters are
alienated, disappointed, dissatisfied.
The Democratic forces today IN
nearly every county, district, and
State are totally demOralized.
The rank and file have always been
proud of their leaders keeping faith
pledges and campaign promises and
they can no longer retain that pride
or point with pleasure to the record
which is now black with reputation
OF the platform pledge and the stains
Of broken promises.
The platform pledges and the can
didates' promises are all that the vo-
ters of the Union have offered by any
political party: when those pledges
are worthless and the promises val
ueless. candidates Of the party have
little reason TO expect either popular
support or popular approval
There Is a firmly grounded moral
sentiment i'm the voters of the United
States, which is in revolt at the recent
blows TO political morals and national
honor
II is reported in California, in Colo
radO, in Louisiana in Indiana. in
Pennsylvania, in New Jersey. in Mas
sachusetts now, and next November
will bring news Of it in every district
and every State of the Union.
The Democratic line of voters is
much thinner than it was in 1912.
Hope and confidence have little
part in the Democratic campaign Of
this year
1t will be defensive campaign from
start to finish with every Democratic
candidate.
Neither the good crops nor the dis
tribution of patronage will bring
strength to the Senators and Repre-
sentatives who have to face the voters
with apologies for their own OF the
administration violations of plat
form pledges and promises.
