CURRENT COMMENT
A Real crisis In Mexico.

In Carranza's turning against our
troops who went into Mexico TO help him
maintain order, the expected has hap
pened. He is creature of public senti-
ment as any Mexican cheftain must be,
particularly one with weak hold on his
sceptre. And the Mexicans have an in
grained hatred OF the Gringoes, which It
needs only spark TO set into flames.
No dictatorship in Mexico could long
stand which seemed TO its supporting
public linked with Americans in putting
down another group of Mexicans. Our
grabbing of their territory in ls4S still
rankles. Doubtless the story of our re-
lation with aguinaldo has been set forth
to our disadvantage. Carranza, after
backing and filling on the matter, has
thus taken the step decreed by Mexican
opinion.
II looks as If the United States were
at war with the republic of Mexico just
as much as we were in 1916. The boat
has been pushed out into the streams,
whittier will it Aoatl 1t is very doubt
full ii the United States troops can come
out until order has been restored. That
may be one year hence, or ten years, or
as many centuries. 1t all depends

H. F. Graham for Governor.

| 1t is with pleasure the CALIFORNIAN pub
| fishes in this issue an announcement that
| Horace +. Graham, for many years state
auditor will accept the Republican nom
/ nation for governor of Vermont. We
know this announcement comes as the
result of very general desire through
out the state that he becomes a candi-
date for that position. In fact so gem
eral was the desire that other men VINO
bad been discussed somewhat for that
honor have decided not to allow the use
of their names and part of them, at
least, have pledged their enthusiastic
support to Mr.. Graham. IL looks to-day
as though there would be no contest over
the Republican nomination for the gov
ernorship.
Under the primary law Mr. Graham
is practically estopped from issuing a
platform upon which he would stand as
governor. as the law provides the plat
form shall be made by all the nominees,
executive and legislative, of the party
and no nominations are made until the
primary is held in September. But Mr.
Graham is one of the most widely known
men in the state and is known to be an
official who carefully guards the expendi-
ture of state funds. He is honest, fear
less and thoroughly informed regarding
the states business. His long experience
as guardian of the state treasury has en-
abled him to form certain opinions that
he will not hesitate to advocate and il
possible enforce at the proper time. The
people are confident he will stand for
every economy that can be effected with |
out reducing the necessary service of the |
state government.
Another gratifying feature of the sit
uation is the fact Mr. Graham has not 4
been conducting a campaign to secure /
the nomination. It has been urged upon 1
him as persistently as the nomination
was urged upon Gov. Gates two years i
igo. The only difference is Mr.. Graham (
has announced his decision in the matter
before other candidates. have been per.
sonally promulgated while Mr. Gates did
not. The result promises to be that no
-ivalries viii be developed, no political
work" will be necessary and the popular
mind will be as completely gratified as
t was two years ago The Republican
larty is to be congratulated upon the
respect for a perfectly clean campaign
md an easy victory. We gladly join
With the people in the endorsement OF
he candidacy Of Horace r. Graham for

Entirely Unsatisfactory.

The answer of Germany to the deman,
of the United States in the matter of til,
steamship Sussex and other torpedo,
vessels is not to be rejected or con
demned merely because ii is Germany,
answer. Full account must be taken Of
its statements and representations. II
on the afternoon OF March "a some Brit
ish war vessels, transport or mine layer
was destroyed, by torpedo in the neigh
! borhood of the place where the Sussex
was destroyed there will be more color
| than now appears for the German view
that the Sussex was not destroyed by d
submarine, but by a mine. 1t is de-
sirable that there shall be statement
from the British government covering
this point. Ii no British war vessel had
any such mishap the conclusion that the
Sussex was destroyed by German sub
marine will be unacceptable.
In the meantime the United States
government must take full cognizance Of
the positive testimony of its own citi-
zens on board the Sussex that the wake
OF a torpedo was seen by them, and OF
the investigations OF its consuls, who
find portions of a German torpedo in the
hull of the Sussex. The Germans ac-
count of the manner in which the for
ward part OF the ship which they de-
stroyed, and which they admit that
they destroyed, was torn away to the
bridge by their torpedo corresponds close
ly with the known manner of the dc
struction of the Sussex. IL is impossible
to avoid the conclusion that the German
