Popeunnine Against Anarchy.

John B. McManus, citizen of the
United States, was killed on Thursday in
his home in Mexico City. He had taken
the precaution to have the doors of his
house sealed by the Brazilian Consul
Brazil representing this country diplo-
matically in the Mexican capitaD. He
had also raised the Stars and Stripes in
indication of his nationality. Neverthe-
less, Zapata troops entering the city broke
into his home and murdered him.
One Swedish subject and four Spanish
subjects were killed about the same time
that McManus was. What happened to
them is likely to happen any day 10 other
foreigners land there are many thousands
of them) still resident in Mexico. Order
and government have broken down, and
except in very limited areas here and
there no authority exists which can be
held 10 accountability by the outside
world.
General Venustiano Carranza is very
willy diplomat. He is seldom worsted in
ulS correspondence Will IOiciSu SoNCl IL
ments. He has neatly turned to his own
advantage Secretary Bryan's warnings TO
Americans to leave Mexico by intimating
that he would be only too delighted if all
foreigners should get out Of the country
and thus relieve him of the wearisome
obligations which their presence now I'M
poses. Finding it political disadvantage
to retain possession of Mexico City, Car
rama has ordered it's evacuation, thereby
passing over to the ex-bandit Zapata the
duty Of receiving Mr.. Bryan's remon-
strances as TO conditions there.
How can our government expect to ac-
complish anything through long distance
diplomatic negotiations with an outlaw
like Zapata? Bushwhackers who find it
profitable to maintain anarchy cannot be
argued with in the language Of the law Of
nations. 1t is almost as fruitless to try
to argue in that language with sticklers
like Carranza for all the punctilio with
which the head of one nation should ad-
dress the supposed head of another ma
ton. CarranZa is not the head of the
Mexican nation, or any part Of the
Mexican nation, except for purposes of
diplomatic controversy, He has power to

No Place for Politicians.

When Governor Dix departed from tho
Hughes policy and began TO make appoint
ments TO the Public Service Commissions
for political reasons it became merely a
question Of time until some other Governor
would clean house. Governor Whitman,
basing his charges on the report of brief
Legislative investigation, has undertaken
that task. 1t will surprise nobody, and
grieve few. if he uses his broad powers
Of removal to sweep the entire local COM
mission out Of office.
Interest centres now more in the ap-
pointmen' of new commissioners than in
elimination of the old. Governor Whit
man must be big enough to avoid the
mistakes of Dix and Sulzer and Glynn.
The first district commission has task
too important, too all-engrossing, to be
made resting place for political workers
and hangers-on. Transit conditions here
cannot be made ideal, but the right
men in the local Public Service Commits
sion-men who are neither afraid.to fight
a corporation nor to do it justice-can
make these conditions vastly better than
they have been recently.
To replace Democratic politicians by Re-
publican would be to deal this city blow
it would neither forget nor forgive.

Thrifty British Patriots.

From The Manchester Guardian.
There are good many well-to-do or
moderately well-to-do men in the ranks
Of the new army. and the knowledge of
this fact according TO a correspondent
who writes from one Of the camp areas
in the South is being used to their disad-
vantage in a very disagreeable fashion by
good many local patriots. Some small
country hotels, for instance. in the neigh
Jorhood Of these areas have put up their
prices by something like 30 per cent, for the
only reason that they can get men TO pay the
price. Three shillinss for a chop and beer
and cheese is one example. Haircutting and
shaving have gone up generally from village
prices TO town prices, and extra halfpennes
and pennies have been put on cigarettes and
tobacco. A certain tradesman in one South
country town has frankly two sets Of prices
for everything, the lower scale for local in
habitants, the higher for those who are going
TO fight for their King and country. Con-
fectioners have profted everywhere by the
popularity Of the o'clock tea habit. They
have usually opened back parlor as a tea
hop and succeeded in filling the place with
khaki. That is legitimate enough, of course
but il is another matter when the price OF
a cup Of tea is put up from threepence To
siIpence, SIS IL actually is IN many cases.

Nfayor Mitchell Enlists.

While Mayor Mitchell has all along been
understood to be friendly to the votes-for-
women movement, his actual declaration
that he will favor the equal suffrage con-
stitutional amendment is bound to be
pleasing TO the suffragists. This gives
them the states Chief Executive and the
chief magistrate of the metropolis for
headIiners among those pledged to the
change, a constantly growing army Of
men in every line Of work.
The battle in New York State next fall
will be the head and front of the suffrage
campaign, though in the nation the ques.
ton will be submitted TO the people in
other Eastern states. Here, though, II is
bound to encounter the bitterest and best
organized opposition, direct and indirect,
and here, in the Empire State, victory,
or even a good showing in the vote, will
be a most powerful weapon for future
lighting wherever tho suffrage issue is
pending.
In such a state and in such a fight it is
no small basis for satisfaction to have the
Governor and Mayor Mitchell enrolled for
suffrage.
