An IncOnspicuOus Mayor.

The noteworthy sentence In Mayor
MrTcuFI's speech of acceptance was his
desire for mum administration. The
Mayor said:
81 would rather have the government
of this city for the next few months in
conspicuous than have it heralded from
day to day In the papers through prom
Uses made as to what will be done
This reaction against limelight and
the open mouth tends to prove that

astraton. Few public men can stand
the test Of loquacity. THEODORE ROosE'
WELT Is the only man whose name comes
To mind as an example Of public man
who has held his popularity In spite
of his talkativeness. And were We tc
attempt to put a finger upon President
WILSON'S chief source Of personal
strength we should lay it upon his
shrewd taciturnity. Perhaps 1t has
been n source of annoyance and dsap-
pointment TO him that his example has
not been emuated in other quarters
but that, as KIprING says, is another
story.
Mayor MITCHEL's youth makes his
plan OF reticence all the more seemly
Were his words to be "heralded from
day TO day in the papers he could not
escape the false charge Of being ego
tistical on the one hand and bOastflll
on the other. A reasonably silent mar

Such n policy would deliver unarmed
men Into the hands Of the insurgents,
who are not disposed to give quarter
10 fugitlves. It Is true that a neutral
need not afford asylum to individual
bclllgercnts who come over into It's
territory to escape capture; but what
sound authority Is there for sending
them back without their arms? HAL
LECE maintains that II the fugitives
SURF nder their arms 10 a neutral they
can claim asylum, and other authori-
ties share his view. OPpENHEIM by
implication says that II the fugitives
are sent back TO the zone Of warfare
they must he permitted to retain their
arms. Article 81 Of the Hague con-
vention Of 1899 covers the case Of the
reception Of armed bodies Of belliger-
ents. as distinguished from individuals,
that cross over into the territory Of a
neutral, as follows:
"a neutral State which receives in its
territory troops belonging to the belliger-
ent armies shall intern them. As far As
possible. at a distance from the theatre
of war.
1T can keep them in camps, and even
contine them in fortresses or locations as
signed for this purpose.
1T shall decide whether officers may be
set at liberty on giving their parole that
they will not leave the neutral territory
without authorization"
The cost Of maintenance Is charged
against the Government to which the
bclligerents belong. In the Franco
German war Of 1901 a French army
of $4,000 men with 10000 horses was
intcrncd in Switzerland. and France
had to pay a bill Of II 100000 francs
for the support Of the army which had
sought asylum in Switzerland. The
| case of the Mexican combatants OF
either side who flee into United States
territory is complicated by the fact that
the insurgents. II they proved victorious
in the war, could not be held respon.
sible for the detention bill Of Fe,lerais
and on the other hand, a Federal Gov.
eminent would not settle for the ex.
penscs Of insurgents.
In the large sense the men Of bOtf
sides are belligerents, and It is Difficult,
to see how asylum can be denied then
either rs individuals or as organiza
lions, cost what 1t may. As for dis
arming fugitivcs and driving them bacl
to the soil they fed. probably to meet
the fate Of massacre. no United States
officer should he asked to commit sucl
an inhuman act. We judge from q
statement made yesterday afternoon by
Secretary GARRISON that in future fugi
tive Federal soldiers will be deprived
of their arms hut not turned bacl

In the ranks OF the suffragists. In
Maryland, where General" EDNA s,
LArIMER, who has marched with Gen

for a hike to Annapolis to impress the
Legislature, there Is outspoken protest
against the expedition as unseanly and

advertising the cause. One OF them,
Mrs. WILLIAM ]. Brown. president OF
the Equal Franchise League, points
out that when the wOrkmen want a

book they do not march on the State
capital, but send delegation Of their
ablest men to argue the matter at a

A NEW DANCE.

A new dance has been started in New Britain, which is said to be a building shaker and which is really worse. than the barn dance which had to be abandoned lest it destroy build- ings in which dances are held on the upper floors. The new dance has not yet been formally christened but it has been nicknamed the "horse trot' and for violence to building construc- tion has everything else beaten to a frazzle.
 This dance is described as some thing of hop and when coming down the homestretcl1 all come down on one foot together, then on the other and then on both feet, the build- ing shaking and the walf flowers emit ting a cheer showing that though not dancing they are in perfect sympathy with the hoppers and runners. This is believed to be the newest of the mod ern dances and is calculated to make business good for those engaged in the building trades.

SENATORIAL CONTEST.

The advent of spring has not added any new life to the contest for United States; senator in Connecticut. In the McLean-Bulke1ey campaign there was something doing all the time for several months previous to the meeting of the legislature, which chose the senator at that time but here we are within about four months of the holding of the conven- tions which will make the nomlna- tions this year and there Isn't peeI from any of the candidates.
 The other day one of the New Ha- ven papers spoke of the liking Con gressman Mahan had Tor Washing ton life, it followed it up with little prose poem as to how he looked and
New Britain herald., 1914-05-04

then coyly referred to his senatorial ambition. No one will say that the gentleman from New London is lack ing in any of the qualifications neces- sary to make an efficient senator, but the get there strength is not as we'll developed as may be regarded as sut- ficient to carry him through the vari- ous towns and cities of Connecticut. Even the esteemed governors friends are not as vociferous s,s rormely, not that they are losing their admiration for him but the indications for vic- tory are not as strong as they were some months ago. A good deal will depend on what the progress1ves will do. If they run as we'll as they did two years ago the democracy will still have a chance but if they con- tinue to dwindle as they have been doing in some contests then the con- ditions will favor the republicans. Senator Brandegee seems to be gail ing in favor with his party and it is going to be a hard job to beat him. It is time that the leaders on both sides were up and doing.
