After all the carping criticisms of
President Wilson's Mexican policy of
''watchful waiting" it seems almost
certain that he is going to win out.
President Huerta has abandoned the
country, and the details of the peace
arrangements with Caranza and Villa
and the other warning factions seems
to be only the question of little time.

a Psychological Difference.

The Assistant Secretary Of Com,
merce. EDWIN FORREST SWEET, has EN-
barrassed both President WILSON and
Secretary BRYAN by attributing to Mr..
WILSON desire not to succeed himself
unless he can do so unselfishly and for
the country's good. To quote the ex-
Mayor OF Grand Rapids
A"If President WILSON does run again
he will not do so from a love OF power
as ROOSEVELT might. but from a sincere
conviction that the country would profit
by his continuance in office and that q
second term would be necessary to the
successful working out OF his policies"
Whether Mr.. WILSON loves power or
not, he exerts and exercises 1t, some
times In way to suggest that Mt.
ROOSEVELT was not more fond Of It..
Every President seems TO covet a Sec
ond term to carry his policies to con-
summation. So Mr.. WILSON is no ex-
ception. That the Hon. EDWIN For
REST SWEET was not speaking wantonly
may be gathered from a Washington
despatch with the hall mark of inspira-
ton, which says: IF EDWIN +. SWEET
was correctly quoted in saying that
President WILSON did not desire a Sec
ond term. he said more than the Presl-
dent ever said publicly"
So it is known in Washington that
Mr.. WILSON has talked about the mat
ter. behind his hand, as 1t were. The
same despatch describes Mr.. BRYAN as
steadily maintaining that the President
is estopped by the Democratic platform
from seeking second term. 1t Is the
working out of the old conflict between
the spirit and the letter. The Demo.
cratic platform seems susceptible Of
many constructions II Mr.. BRYAN
sees any obstacle in his friends path
1t may be purely psychological, yielding
to realistic treatment.

Much nonsense Is written about the
educational value Of opera. What sort
of education Is to be derived from
the absorption Of ''Tosca" or "Zaza"?
At all events 1t would not be in the
nature of development of taste or
morals OF the refining influence, how
ever, Of good music and Of some operas
there can be no doubt.
The purpose of the century Opera
Company Is TO establish an institution
which shall give opera in the vernacu-
lar ut prices within the reach Of the
public prevented from enjoying the
Metropolitan Opera House. This pur-
pose has been widely praised. That the
performances should be given in English
seemed an essential partof the scheme,
but the directors have in their wisdom
decided that certain operas shall be
sung in the language OF the originals
Thus the public will have the oppor-
tunity TO learn through generally capa-
Bile performances the operate literature
of all countries. But 1t will not be pos
SlDle LOT them 10 near Hi tneSe WOrkS
in language they understand, and In
this respect the educational value Of
these performances seems more prob
lematical than in the case of the operas
rendered in English.
To give proper force TO this educa-
tional scheme the operas in Italian or
German should be sung by Italians or
Germans or persons speaking and sing
ing those tongues with absolute correct
ness. 1t does not always happen TINT
English is correctly sung or spoken. but
there is always the supposed educa-
tional value Of the story. Since that is
not so evident In a performance given
in a strange tongue, there should at
least be the advantage of faultlessly
delivered Italian and German. Doubt
less the directors OF the Century Opera
Company were prepared to provide
these advantages when they announced
such variation from their programme
as operas In foreign tongue.

The New Haven Green.

What shall an ex-Presdent do with
Mr.. TAFT answers the question by en-
listing In one good cause after another
and giving without stint of his talents.
On Thursday he was pleading for the
integrity Of the New Haven Green In
his address at the laying OF the corner
stone of the new post Office which will
be reared Mt one side of those sixteen
verdant acres.
The Green Is so rich in historic
memories that even Mr.. TAFT with all
his research could not do justice to
them, but he made the past vivid to his
hearers so that they might understand
what a sacrllege encrOachment upon
the time honored centre Of New Haven
life would be. Set apart in 1888, the
accessions of CHARLES H., WILLIAM
and MARY and three of the GEORGES
were proclaimed there, and there
walked the Regicldes GorFE, WHALLEY
and DIxwELL, who are perpetuated in
names given to New Haven thorough
