SEES EASY CHOICE OF
PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT
Declares No Undue Delay Will
Mark Selection of Man to
Head Government Tempo
rariIy--ParIeyS Soon.
BY LAURENCE TOD
Stan Correspondent.

NEW YORK. July S-Direct nego-
tiations for peace between the con-
stitutionalists and the Huerta govern
ment Of Mexico will be started in
New York within a few days.
A provisional president will be
chosen here. the Huerta delegates
taking it for granted that they will
have no serious difficulty in agreeing
with the Carranza delegates upon the
name of the man.
A general amnesty will be declared
throughout Mexico as a preliminary
TO the peaceful transfer Of the gov
ernment from the old to the new pro-
visional control
Private property Will be held intact
all mob violence by soldiers OF
either faction Will be Sternly re-
pressed by the leaders of both sides.
Such. in outline, was the statement
made today by Senior Augustin Rod
riguez. the eldest Of the three repre-
sentatives of the Huerta government
and for 40 years a leader of the Mex
lean bar.
Conference Assured.
SAY TO the American public that
we are definitely assured direct from
Washington that peace delegates will
be sent here by the constitutionalists, q"
he said. Say that this is the best
thing that can happen for the Mexi-
can people and for the United States.
1t is the best for the constitutional
lists, and for the Mexico City govern
ment, because only through agree
ment reached in peaceful conference
will we he able to avoid terrible loss
of life and uncontrolled violence later
on.
81 am sure that man for the pro-
visional presidency can be and will
be elected by the delegates here with
out undue delay. That man will be
recognized by both sides in Mexico,
and his provisional government will
arrange for a general election. The
United States and the other powers
will recognize such a government.
The international difficulties which
cannot be settled until we have ad
justed our own affairs will then be
Strengthened out at once.
Say to the American people that
we are now sure that peace will be
discussed here, and we are confident
that the agreement which Mexico and
the United States both need will be
assured.

REPUBLICAN PRECINCT CLUBS MUST ACT

The chairman Of, the Republican territorial
central committee is sending out to precinct
clubs throughout the territory copies of the pro
posed changes in party rules. The Star-Bulletin
has repeatedly drawn attention to the delay in
putting the proposed changes before the Repub-
leans Of the territory, and itsis hardly neces-
saIy to comment upon ID again except to empha.
.ize the necessity now for prompt consideration
81 what the rules revision committee has to Of.
Party primaries will be held early next month
and the date for the rules coilyeption is now only
tive weeks away. The revision Of party rules is
a. important matter; the cdmmittee has sug-
tested radical changes, based largely ON the
principle Of placing more control Of party af-
fairs in the hands of the territorial committee.
10 the Republicans agree With this principle or
'|o they not? That is likely to be the leading
question at the conventions The changes made
b conform to the new direct primary law are
Inevitable and largely formal. Most of them
win be accepted without discussion.
The committee has given little time to the
precinct clubs to consider the changes. That
little time should be used energeticalIy Other
wise the convention is certain to be run by few
men and naturally so, for the rest will know
1othing about the subject up for action

ABUSE OF POWER TO PROVIDE JOBS

All signs point to determined assault
upon the civil service system by the Democrats
in Congress. The reason is, of course, that they
wish to make room at the feed-trough for party
workers.
The urgent deficiency bill passed last year S
session with order" that removed from civil
service regulations deputy collectors of internal
revenue and deputy United States marshals.
Now the postoffice appropriation bill has been
submitted to Congress with another of PERM,
.cious riders tackled upon it. This removes as
sistant postmasters from civil service rules.
For a party that has shouted so long and so
loudly for civil service, the record of the Democ
Ilcy now in control of national legislation is en-
tirely discreditable. Such strong supporters of
York Evening Post and Samuel c. Blythe, of the
Saturday Evening Post, declared some months
ago that the Democratic leaders in Congress
were schenling to let down the civilsservice bars
SO that their hungry henchmen could rush into
the pasture. The beginning of this rush has al
ready come. =:.. ILL., -. r.,
The Republican party made plenty of mis-.
takes in its handling of public office and the
parcelling out Of patronage. It's record is tar.
nished by the spoils system, against which de-
terInined stand was made some years ago with
good results. But even the mistakes and the
lnisdemeanors Of the Republicans included no
such shameful abuse of power as is now shown
in the destruction of the civil service SYSTEM to
provide bones for the hyenas of politics.

His latest statement is thai he will name a

a week or two ago the mayor intimated that
the commission had been Of no value to the city,
cost too much money, secured no tangible re
suits and was not worth mentioning. Thus he
defended his course in allowing the terms of the
DID commissioners to expire. and in naming no
new members of the board But the mayors
course met no popular applause in fact, it was
severely criticised, Now he indicates that he

NIGHT INSIST on IT

The city treasurer's explanation of the. reason
why the treasury money has not been counted as
required by law is all right as far it goes, but
it doesn't 60 very far. The law requires the an-
ditor, city and county attorney and mayor to
count the money every quarter. The treasurer
thinks that the count hassnet been made because
at the time designated there was no money on
hand. He says: ID stt5
when first took office last january, the COM
mittee called and counted the money But since then
they have not been here Il kept thinking that they
would come. and from time to time thought would
suggest 1t to them. Though particular harm has
been done, far as know, the statute requiring
the quarterly count is the books 1t should be
made 81 Ss4 XXX ~< - H. .sas
Under the circumstances, it certainly seems
as if the treasurer should have done more than
think of suggesting that the provisions of the
city charter should be carried out ''No partic-
ular harm has been done,' but when public Off,
Gals begin. to display laxity- in handling the
citys financial affairs the resultant condition is
anything but reassuring forthe taxpayers.
For his own protection, even if not for that
of the city, the treasurer shouldif' suggesting
proves fruitless- do some insisting. -

Wars cost in human lives and the integrity of
the race is we'll illustrated by the figures from
that part of Macedonia which has been allotted
to Bulgaria. The male population has been re-
duced from It's, 900 to 1880, and most of the
remaining males are old men and boys. Eth
biologists long ago discovered that the impress
of war is left for generations after peace has
come in the wake of battle. The healthy adult
males are often nearly all killed and the fathers
of the race for a generation at least are youths,
old men and sickly adults. The result is always
physical and mental retrogression in the off
spring. And yet any movement toward an inter
national agreement to limit armament and
standing armies is sneered at by the obstinate
apostles of militariSm!

without bloodshed.
