ly been thing in name only and wholly
subservient to the will and the whims
of the dictator. Apparently the Mexi-
can people are coming out from under
the thralldom of his power and are be-
ginning to assert themselves. 1t looks
like the beginning of the end for Huerta
in Mexico.
At the same time that Huerta goes,
the two men in northern Mexico, Car
rama and Villa, ought to go also. In
the scheme of the new government that
bids fair to be erected on the ruins of
the dictatorship neither Carranza nor
Villa should find part. Both have
proven themselves unreliable, unfit,
spurred on merely by personal ambition
and totally without the qualifications
to make broad-minded leader of peo-
pie which needs wise control. In all
the millions of people in Mexico there
ought to be man capable of taking up
the presidency and carrying it through
with a decent adherence to right and
order.

The wellesley Fire.

The salient feature in the destruction
of College hall is the escape of the $50
occupants without injury. Beside this
good fortune, the loss of the building,
though calamity to the college is in
significant.
Much is said In Jest about fire drills.
That such humor is as unwarranted as
similar illusions to the militia in time
of peace was shown yesterday morning.
Never was the value of order and dis
cipline more clearly demonstrated. The
FIRE occurred at night. 1t started at the
time when slumber is said to be most
heavy. The flames spread with rapid
ity. Yet there was no confusion, no
panic. For all apparent variation from
the usual routine, the early morning
exhibition might well have been the Gus
tomary fire drill. To be sure, some cir
substances favored the fortunate issue
The blaze originated near the top of
the building. The corridors were not
filled to suffocation as they might have
been had the fire begun below. But this
does not detract from the credit due to
the Wellesley girls and the faculty
members in the crisis. There was
smoke. Sparks were flying. The fires
crackle was audible to all. Before the
head OF the line of girls left the building
the entire west wing was afame. Far
less peril has often created greater panic
and needless havoc In woman's dor
mitory at Walden university at Nash
vile, Tenn, II years ago, fire under al
most similar circumstances caused the
death of seven girls. The catastrophe
in the Chi Psi fraternity house at Cor
nell few years ago is still fresh in the
public mind
Again the handicap under which rural
fire apparatus labors at blaze of con-
siderable dimensions was shown. The
building was old and fell ready prey to
the flames. In its destruction has again
been exemplified the great need of fire
prevention. This lesson win no doubt

college hall rises from the ashes on the
shore of Lake Waban.-Boston Herald

THE DECLINE OF HUERTA.

When the Mexican people learn how
they were deluded into the belief that
the United States occupation of Vera
Cruz was the first step in campaign
of territorial requirement, when they
learn that Huerta has been appealing to
them in the name of patriotism when as
a matter of fact he was enlisting their
aid for his own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
when they learn that the visit of the
American was merely for purposes of
pacification, when they learn, too, that
they have been woefully misled by the
newspaper stories of alleged success of
Mexican arms against the Americans
when they learn all this, and more, they
will be likely to turn against the dicta-
tor in Mexico City with great anger.
Then will be the time for Huerta TO
abdieate, if he doesn't see fit to do so
before the crash comes.
That there are indications of a par
tial awakening of the people to their
own power and to the fact that they
have been used merely as a tool by
Huerta is indicated by the new spirit
that is finding Judgment even in the
capital city, where the Huerta senti-
ment has reigned supreme for over
year. 1t is stated that a new and more
friendly feeling toward the United
States is developing in Mexico City and
that many people of the capital are com
ing to realize that the landing of the
Americans was not for the purpose of
invasion and snatehing of territory but
purely to restore peace in the troubled
land. Another indication.is to be found
in the assertion that it was the Huerta
cabinet that accepted the offer Of good

vERMoNT's ESTIMATED GROWTH.

yERMONT'S ESTIMATED GROWTH.
The U. S. census bureaus estimate of
the population of the United States and
its larger subdivisions sees fit to give
Vermont growth during the period
from 1910 to 1914, a modest growth,
to be sure, but Indicative of forward
movement in the state. An estimated
increase of 5,249 would be meagre for
small city in the boom states of the
western section of the country but for
Vermont it is fully as good as the ad
vance made for decades, and the com
pleted decade between 1910 and 1920 is
likely TO reveal that Vermont has
eclipsed recent rates of increase by a
good margin of percentage. Indeed, the
rate of increase credited by the census
bureau is about equal to the per cent Of
increase in the neighboring state of New
Hampshire, which has been reckoned
as faster growing than Vermont; and
it is, of course, quite in contrast to
the showing of Iowa, wealthy and
large state, which is given decrease in
population from 2,224,77l to 2,22l, $50.
Providing, then, that the estimates of
the census bureau are fairly accurate,
Vermont has no reason to be downcast
over the showing but, on the contrary,
to be much encouraged. Vermont prob
ably never will grow rapidly, but it is
growing solidly, with none of the mush-
room sort of development.

Those 20 fiat cars brought into Barre
over single railroad on a single day
indicate anything but stagnation of
business in the Barre granite in
dustry during the winter just passed
Every one of those cars win 90 out
loaded with granite, much Of which will
be finished work, thus giving to Barre
both the benefit from the sale of the
stone itself and the benefit from fashion
ing it into the form desired for the cree
ton in cemeteries throughout the con-
tinent. Most likely, too, the other rail
road which ships vast quantities of Barre
granite has as many fat cars ready for
use in sending out the granite. Taken
altogether, the two will carry away

CURRENT COMMENT
Yellow Journals in Mexico and Here.

Most Americans will regard it as lit
tie short of humorous that the news
papers of Mexico City were yesterday
telling their readers that several Euro
pean nations had declared war against
us, that the negroes of the South had
risen in instruction against our govern
ment, and that Mexican torpedoes had
blown up some of our battleships. We
inwardly express the hope that nobody
in Mexico is so ignorant as to be mis-
led by any such ridiculous information.
But in this respect our newspapers
differ from those in Mexico in degree
and not in kind. Think of the huge
circulation of the Hearst publications,
and so of the thousands of people who
are willing to contribute to their main
tenance and success. They live on in
flaming the passions of the people in all
such crises as these. 1t has been an
open boast that they forced the United
States into war with Spain. They
are likely to add war with Mexico, If
we have one, to their list of achieve
ments." If anyone were to check off
the actual oecurrences--in massacres, as
sassinations riots-beside the headline
claims of the sensational press one would
feel in no position to cast stones at the
Mexicans for believing what their mag
NATIVE writers set forth--"to sell pa
pers."
There is in this country type of
rich newspaper publisher, usually of in
herited wealth, who has become devoid
of any moral responsibility to his day
and time. Such publishers from the
comfortable easy chairs of their pala-
tial homes try to hound every admin
istration into war. John r. Mclean,
owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer and
the Washington Post, man whose
wealth and power have contributed moth
ing to the moral health Of the nation, is
to-day prodding the administration to
send innocent boys down into Mexico,
to stand against her bullets and her
diseases.
Mr.. Mclean is one of the type. James
Gordon Benefits editors on the New
York Herald apparently do not yet know
how the pleasure loving owner of that
paper, in his yacht at Port Said, would
feel towards the spectacle of another
war. And so they are marking time
until they hear from him. The Hearst
papers, already alluded to, are openly
devoted to the stimulation of whatever
is savage in human impulses.
Hundreds of people describe an Gag
erness for war as patriotism" and the
man who is urgent to kill and MAIN his
fellow men as patriot. The Herald
has no hesitation in saying that for
itself it abhors war, and hopes the pres
ident OF the United States and his ad-
yisers win exhaust every means at their
command for the maintenance of an hon.
orable peace. II also hopes that the
American people will some time learn
the terrible cost Of war, in blood and
treasure, in the weakening of the racial
stock and in turning back the wheels Of
social and industrial progress.-Boston

The Boston newspaper which puts a
larger "scare head" over the fact that
arms are being carried into Ulster coun-
ty, Ireland, than on the peace develop
ments in the United States Mexico i'm
broglio shows queer estimate of news
value to clientele of American news
paper readers. But still, the contem-
porary is following out the same pol
icy that has dominated it from the start,

NOT SUCH DEADLY ENEMIES
"Hloody chasm" That Separated Ma

iator in Ireland. AS a contributor to

much attention to the dismemberment
of the empire when you are not GER
tain whether you will have an en-
pire to dismember.
There is a geniallty about the Ma
tionalist volunteer that makes you
know that he would rather fight some
one else-Germany in this case-than
Ulster. A few stories are current
that help to show how very ripe Ire
land was for Cancellation. Not long
ago a company of Nationalist volun-
teers, passing a company of Ulster
men, and being uncertain as TO the
customary etiquette between deadly
enemies-saluted. In a northern dis
trict there was only one field suitable
for drilling, and as the two opposition
armies wanted ii, the owner began
bidding them against each other,
Northern canniness asserted itself,
The commanding officer of II battal'
ion approached the enemy, and they
agreed to rent the field In common,
and use it on alternate days!
A third anecdote relates that while
some Ulster volunteers were drilling
a Nationalist was see sitting on q
fence watching them. When he was
questioned by an FISHERMAN he ex
planned that his W company hat
mislaid their rifles and could no
drill: but" he added, I'VE were wait

yours when you've done with them"

then turned to the mother.
Don't you know" he asked. that
your little girl is coming down with
the measles?"
"Yes, DOCTOR" was the woman's re-
ply; Il knew she was"
Then why in the world" asked the
doctor, did you write me that she had
a very bad cold?"
The woman hesitated, for a mo-
ment, then, looking at her husband,
said, with sullen frankness:

A TREATMENT THAT HEALS
ITCHING, BURNING SKINS

Don't stand that itching skin humor

apply a little resinol ointment.
