Carranza Wins Again.

Venustiano Carranza has found one capital
In which he has both power and influence. I'm
able to control affairs in his own country, OF
which he has been hailed as de facto head by
the president of the United States, and with
out authority at Mexico City, he is yet able to
have his own way at Washington, where his
whims. however childish or absurd. receive re:
spectful consideration and compliance. At pres
ent there is nothing friendly in his attitude, no
evidence Of willingness to assist in overhauling
villa. Impotent. so far curbing the lawless-
ness of murderous bandits is concerned, he
peevIshly objects to the United States under
taking to protect its own people from the as
saults OF the mscreants from below the border.
Carranza is already greatly indebted to Mr..
Wilson personally because OF the presidents
clandestine support to his pretensiCps before
he was openly recognized. and simple gratitude
for favors shown and help given should require
that he give every assistance to a movement of
which he will be the chief beneficiary. Instead,
he takes the opposite course, and the admin-
stration at Washington is content to accept
what Carranza is willing to grant. Our army
is to be hampered In its operations in pursuit
Of the murderers who raided Columbus, because
the de faeto head of the Mexican government
prescribes terms for the use of a branch rail-
read across a desert country. and otherwise
abandoned. that suit him but will be of little
service to the United States
The wondrous patience OF the American peo-
pie is being sorely tried just at present. The
time is not very far away when Carranza and
similar political adventurers will not find II so
easy to win at Washington.

Double. Headers.

Recalling the acrimony engendered In the
last two republican national conventions over
the determination between a multiplicity of con-
testing delegates, II was hoped that the next
convention might avoid repetition OF these
complications. Not that republican conven-
tions alone have been beset with contests, for
the democrats have had their troubles, too,
but the large number of palpably fake contests.
made purposely to befog the Issues seemed to
have reached their limit, with a reaction GER
tain to follow.
Notwithstanding the fact that contesting
delegates are no longer in good standing, the
prospects already good for double-headers
from several southern states Georgia and South
Carolina already have dual organizations clam
oring for recognition, and Kentucky has a
second state convention called, while perennial
Louisiana again promises two sets of delegates
Apparently nothing can stop double-headers
and the contests will have to be threshed out.
There is no good reason, however. why they
should not be settled on the evidence without a
renewal Of the hue and cry over the alleged
bias OF the men who must decide.

Two years ago the state OF Pennsylvania

Only One Chance.

Secretary of State Pool calls attention to
some changes made in the primary election law
by the late legislature. One of these is to pre-
vent an aspirant from having more than one
chance to get a nomination for the office he
seeks The law now provides that person de-
feated at the primary can not again become a
candidate by petition or otherwise for the same
office. This is proper. 1t gives every man one
chance, and permits the voters to decide. 1t
does not deprive any man of his rights. but re-
Quires that he conform at least in the letter to
the decision OF the voters of his party. Nor
ally he will be bound TO give his loyal support
to the candidate chosen, although he has the
legal right TO work against him. He can not.
however. show his opposition by becoming a
candidate for the office This condition will

contest, and will head off those who pursue Of
