FUNSTON IS EIGHT.

While there is nothing official about the statement which is made by mining engineer who has returned from Mexico, to the effect that Gen. eral Scott had been sent to the border to find an excuse for withdrawing the United States troops who are in the neighboring republic under General Pershing, and that General Funston, upon being informed of this possibil- ity, declared that should the troops be recalled he would quit and 75 other officers would leave the service with him. it ia only such as might be ex- pected under the existing conditions.
 None understands the Mexican sit- uation and the need of keeping the punitive expedition where 1t is better than General Funston. He under stands what difficulties have been faced in this effort to punish Villa for the depredations which he has committed along the border and the menace which the bandits are as long as Carranza continues to maintain his present attitude.
 To recall these troops before their lnission has been completed would simply be an admission that Carranza was doing all that he possibly could to furnish protection to United States citizens in Mexican and along the border. when as a matter of fact it is well known that he has done nothing of the Kind and has actually handi- capped the United States forces in- stead of lending the cooperation which should have been rendered in getting rid of common enemies. It would only be a matter of time before other ex- petitions would have to be organized as a matter of self protection and fol only thing to do is to retain the ad- vantage which is already possessed Funston may or may not have said what is attributed t0 him but there can be no question but what # he diC say it that he means what he sait and that it fts the situation

a PealsEwoRTHv STAND.

In the hope of working injury to the candidacy of ex-Justice Hughes, the idea was conceived in democratic circles Of advocating legislation in their national convention which, if enacted into law would make t in1- possible henceforth for member oE the United States supreme court to become a candidate for the presidency It was intended as a slap at the re- publican nominee which could be used throughout the campaign, but 1t Is to the credit of President Wilson that he nipped 1t in the bud and declared that tempted. It was oniy what might have been expected from him and he will gain more by the stand which he took in regard to it than he would if he had given his approval to such a move or even allowed it to have been incorporated in the platform without objection.
 1t is a well known fact that Mr. Hughes did not desire to leave the bench. He was satisfied with his po- sition and he would have preferred to remain there. It is that attitude which he has made plain from the start and despite the fact that he has been made the object of repeated at tacks for his failure to declare his position on certain matters Or to get off of tho bench before his nomination took place. he respected the dignity of the ofice which he held to the very end. It was the will of the republican rank and file who recognized his fit ness for the highest office in the land and not his own ambition which brought about his selection, and to have resented his nomination by any such mud singing would simply have served as boomerang.
 President Wilson has demonstrated that he is neither seeking an unfair advantage nor will he countenance such, and this has a significance in the campaign about to be opened which cannot be overlooked. It was a stand which the situation called for but which is none the less praisewor inv

NATIONAL ARcAIuEs.

Though it might otherwise have passed without attracting special att tention, except from those who are di-. rectly interested, it. is but proper that attention should be called to the action that was taken in the lower house of congress last week for the erection of building to house the national af- chives. The importance of preserving public records has been recognized in the smallest of communities. Their destruction by fire. or loss in other ways either through negligence or a disregard for their protection, has taught a lesson that cannot be dfsre- sarded. Records are vital part of every government from town to rla- tional and their value demands as much care ip their preservation as in obtaining them. It matters little how much time and expense is incurred in securing them, if nothing is done which will insure their safety, and the time to give consideration to such . matter is before the loss of the most valuable, or for that matter any DOT ton, of them has been experienced.
 Cities and states have given greater consideration to this matter than has the government. Long ago should ac- A4OA nave OCG1 taken WnlCn would have provided a safe building for the reception of the country's archives Many of the public buildings whicl have been erected throughout thu country might well have been delayed until a place had been provided fol the valuable documentary possession! of the nation, if expense had stood il the way before

Congress has at this lat, day taken a step which should hay, been undertaken long ago, if consid eration had been given to the exam. pies set in other countries It i bound to be a preventive move o much value.

AiT-India sanitary Exhibition.

An a1I-India. sanitary exhibition is to be held in Madras in the last weak of December, 1916, and an invitation to American firms to send exhibits has been extended by the committee in charge. The exhibition is arranged in connection with tAle eleventh annual conference of the Al1-Tndia Subas- sistant Surgeons Association, which has on it's roll subassistant surgeons from all parts of India, both in Gov ernment employ and in private prac- tice, but is a private Association.
 Last years conference was held in the Bombay Presidency, and delegates were present from many presidencies. The meeting this year is planned on a larger scale. and the proposed sani- tary exhibition is a new feature. It is believed that American manufac- turers Of sanitary supplies, drugs and medicines, surgical instruments, hospi : tai equipment, etc, will find it advan- tageous to show interest in the mater, as the conference takes place on the same grounds on whioh the annual Christmas fair is held in Madras.

Though the progressive national committee is going to meet on the 26th, for the purpose of deciding what the party as an organization is gofng to do regarding the declination of Theodore Roosevelt to run as their candidate and the possibility of SUD- porting Charles E. Hughes, it doesn't appear from the statements which are being made by national committeeman and leaders throughout the country that their task is going to be very difficult or greatly prolonged one.
 In the meantime, however, as it was probably expected they are having the opportunity to get in touch with the feeling of the party. They are going to have a chance to measure up the dual- ifications of the republican nominee and to be convinced. f .sucn is neces- sary, as to where he stands upon the vital questions of the day, and what Is equally important they are going to seriously consider what is for the best interests of the country.
 Without any loss of time state pro- gressive organizations have openly de- sclared for MT. Hughes regardless of the advice to wait and see. Some of the prominent leaders have pledged their support to his campaign and conspicuous in this regard is Charles s. Bird of Massachusetts who has promised the assistance of his two Boston papers. The record of Mir. Hughes is such that there is no other sensible course open to those who par ticipated' in third party activity. He has shown himself not only in sym pathy with wise and needed reforms but the actual champion of them.
 Thus it is not surprising that not only the leaders but the rank and file are thus early convinced of the wis dom of rallying to his support, and they are furnishing examples along which line the commits tee will doubtless act when il comes to making it's decision on tho 26th. It is a case where such con. clusion not only can be, but should be easily and quickly reached It is tnt one thing to do

or more times since it's laying. SoTne- times the destructive work is a lateral strip of water or gas, sometimes a lengthy strip of Sewers, sometimes an
 excavation for laying condufts, and sometimes just plain holes for heaven knows what. Under this system, the city lays a nice pavement and irnRae- diately let's a lot of irresponsible con- tractors tear the stufing out of it. No wonder under such treatment the pavement quickly goes to pieces. Can any Bridgeport citizen recall an fn- stances of a new pavement being re- stored to a. condition as good as the original after having been torn up for excavation work of some kind? We doubt it. On the other hand, almost anyone with eyes in his head can name instance after instance in which

Trouble Is brewing for the drivers of jitney cars, unless they show more disposition to fall in line with the new ordinance which has been drafted in Derby The ordinance is a measure for public safety, and it Is safe to say that in most of its provisions it has public sentiment behind it. The feat ures that are considered unjust can be modified. after their injustice has been made plain, but the rules for the protection of the passenger and the pedestrian will stand unaltered, it is safe to say. Overcrowding of cars must stop and so must reck1essness on the highway. This latter is regulated by the state law and the overcrowding can be dealt with under this as well as under the ordinance. The best thing for the drivers of these cars to do is to make the best of the law as 1t stands until they find some way to have it changed in the features that they do not consider fair. The duty of the police is plain. They must en- force the law as it stands and make it apply inpartially to all. It is not their duty to consider anything but the spirit of it's provisions for the
 safety of the public, of the drivers themselves and of the passengers they carry Continuance of the ob- noxious features of jitney travel will

Many cities of the country will have preparedness parades on the Fourth of July, but in other communities such a. plan has been abandoned. The feel ing possibly is that while the under lying patriotism is the same in both a preparedness parade and an Independ- ence Day observance, the prepared ness parade loses somewhat of it's force and significance if confused with a holiday celebration. But there is no doubt that the wave of patriotic feel ing aroused by the preparedness slo- gan will be responsible for larger number of communities holding ex- tensive celebrations on the Fourth than has been the case in many years.-Providenc Bulletin.
