Governor Carranxa,s Platform,

In the new seat Of government at
Saltillo Governor CARRANzA Is making
up for lost time by publishing his
ideas Of government for the OBLIGATION
of the mediators mt Niagara Falls and.
obviously. to qualify for the succession
to President HuERTA In the estimation
OF Mr.. WILSON. 1t must be admitted
that Senior CARRANzA shows sagacity.
Thus he declares against conilscatlon
Of lands If the owner Of record has a
valid title, and Spaniards are assured
that they will be allowed to return to
their occupations, provided they have
not been "perniciously active" against
the Constitutional cause. a sop to Gen.
eral VILLA.
To Governor CARBANzA's credit Ii can
be said that he has never given encour-
agement to the contiscations and par
the poems which LUcIo BLANco and
other commanders, including Francisco
VILLA, have ordered. As a matter Of fact,
the transfers In most ca ses were made
for term of ten years, an arrangement
which the first Congress after the war
will probably upset. The poems will
be satisfied II they can have few acres
by paying for them on the instalnfent
plan, so that there will probably be no
great difficulty In the States buying
large tracts from willing proprietors
and giving titles. Before the present
instruction the CREELs and other hated
clentificos were dividing tracts Of land
among the poems and accepting small
payments, fact that has not been pub
lished far and wide by the Carran-
zistas.
The finances Of pacified Mexico have
also engaged General CARBANzA's at.
tention. He proposes a central bank of
issue with all kinds Of currency Sc
cured by gold deposits. This ought to
take with President WILSON. In fact,
the First CHER is prepared to be as
progressive as any man, and judging
from the impression he has made mt
Washington he seems to be the choice
Of Mr.. WILSON for President Of Mexico
II the voters want him, a consumma-
ton that might easily he arranged.
1t Is fair presumption that when
Governor CARRANzA has finished his ex.
positions upon government he will be
ready to take part in the mediation at
Niagara Falls provided an armistice
Is not insisted upon.

But heartsease seems quite out OF fashion!
A lack OF thrift that is displayed

CANAL TOLLS.
Cen BE Charged on and Refunded 70
Our COast Y lse 9hlnning.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN---Sir. A
clause In the Hay-Pauncefote treaty reads
as follows:
The canal shall be free and open to
vessels of commerce and war Of all nations
observing these rules, on terms OF entire
equality. SO that there shall be no discriml-
nation against any such nation or its citi-
zens or subjects In respect OF the conditions
or charges Of trafhc or otherwise Such
conditions and charges Of traffic shall be
just and equitable.
II 1t be conceded that these words have
any meaning at all. It must follow that the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty forblds the United
States to establish rates favoring her
own commerce at the expense OF other
nations. and the exemptions from tolls
OF our own coastwise trade might fairly
he interpreted as discriminating against
other nations. Thus compare a cargo out
Of PASSPORT, Me. bound for Seattle. Wash.
with one from ST. John. ". b., bound for
Vancouver. y. G. Under certain circum-
stances the former, being free from canal
tolls. might easily compete with the lat
ter and establish discrimination against
the Canadian coastwise trade. Hence 1t
would appear that we can Justly exempt
our own coastwise trade from canal tolls
only by granting the same favor to those
other nations bordering both upon the
Atlantic and Pacific. that Ia, to Canada,
Mexico, most OF the Central American
republics and Colombia
OF course to state this proposition Is
but TO expose It's absurdity, but Is there
then no means whereby the United States
can exercise liz undoubted right to regu-
late Its own internal affairs without con-
traveninE It's solemn treaty engagements?
There is n perfectly simple one. Let the
Government charge our coastwise shipping
the usual tolls and then refund them.
Against such a procedure the other sig
natory Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty could
not raise a word of protest. since the
Government OF Great Britain would stand
on complete equality with our own. with
the equally unquestioned right to refund
Panama Canal tolls to its nationals.
This expedlent Is so simple and direct
that 1t must have occurred to every MEM
Der OF the Administration and OF Con-
gress, and yet not one of them has had
the courage to propose II. Its very sug-
geston would be met by the scream OF
ship subsdiesv - and we all know that
ship subsidies are wicked. II makes no
difference what you do as long as you
call the act by an approved name. As
people we have been designated material
lists or idealists. according to the angle
OF vision. In truth we are nation OF
verbalists. We venerate not things or
ideas. but words. OPERA Non VERRA

On Certain Combinations In Restraint Of
Republican Government.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
editorial article on THE Regulation of the
Executive" in this mornings SUN Is to me
the most satisfactory sentiment you have
piu forth in n long time.
When the Constitution OF the United
states was adopted a fundamental provi-
sion was that our Government should be
carried on through three independent
branchts, the Legislative, the executive md
the judicial. or the motive power, provided
with check and a balance wheel, This
was a safe and sane provision against
future despotsm; in other words, against
the monopolization Of power in the hands
OF one man or a small group Of men. To
the lay mind It must seem quite as bad TO
have these departments OF Government,
or even two Of them. combine to control
legislation and International policies. as
1t 10 to have manufacturing. transporta-
ton and banking corporations combine TO
control trade and business for private
beneft.
Ny own opinion IL that It is desirable
to have the corporations and trusts rexu-
lated in conservative way for the public
benefit and welfare. Mono the less, !
think that the legislative and executive
branches Of our Government should each
b kept within the limits laid down for
them by the Constitution.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--sir: Who

Yet shines serenely on

The recent revival Of one Of OSCAR
WILDE's plays in London Is evidence
that managers feel the need Of return
Ing to some Of the older plays to fill
their theatres. MARGARET ANGLIN met
with great success in her performances
Of Lady Windermere's Fam" and now
in London GEORGE ALEXANDER has found
the public grateful for "A Woman of
No Importance" The Wilde plays do
not age as some that are deeply rooted
In life. They are ms artificial as the
Carolinian dramas, and 1t may happen
that they will continue to be enjoyed
when GALswoRTHY and SHAW are no
longer to the public taste.
1t may be that the English stages
supply OF old comedies will even be
enriched by these plays Of WILDE.
Works of the generation Of writer's
that succeeded SHERIDAN and GOLD
SMITH have not exhibited the vitality
once expected Of them. Nowadays
London Assurance" cannot he made
interesting to theatregoers; and what
Of "Old Heads and Young Hearts"
Money" and the Victorian plays which
might have been expected to gain some
sort Of foothold in the theatre? The
Wilde comedies are Of course much
younger, but they possess qualities
that seem to predestine them to longer
lives. They are not dependent on their
~ N .iNI Af
ciety. They are audacious and dazzling
and artificial. and their flash Of wit
seems as likely to strike fire In one
generation as another.
The London manager was wise
enough to have the one feature OF these
dramas which might have seemed to
mark their age carefully eXcised; the
phrases and references, the tricks Of
speech which were current when the
comedy was first acted. have been su.
perseded by the talk Of the day. Thus
Is justice done to the authors wit and
he does not have to struggle against
old fashioned irrelevnncies which bear
no relation to his best lines yet might
make the play appear old fashioned
American managers should act with
the same freedom. Half the devices
in "A Scrap OF Paper" found by the
alert to be out Of mode could have
been removed by the revision Of the
dialogue. This process should be fol-
lowed in the case Of MI old plays re-
vlved. Perhaps the Wilde comedies
really need 1t least Of all. But the
success Of "a Woman Of No Impor-
lance shows that It Is not safe to
ignore this precaution.
