CARRANzA WAS ELECTED

Dominant by force of arms in a
great part of Mexico, owing to the
recognition he got from Washington,
Venustiano Carranza held an "elec-
ton" last week, and will be inaugur-
ated as constitutional President" of
the Republic. The phebiscites of Ma
polieon the Little were elections in
the same sense. OF course North
Mexico, where Villa is stirring around
was virtually disfranchised, and in
the rest of the country, according to
news officially given out, "the candi-
dates against Carranza were neglig-
ible.'
Francisco Madero was a Constitu-
tional President. Since his assassi-
nation Mexico has had none. Unfa-
vored at Washington, Victoriano
Huerta couldn't arrange anything
but a farce in the way of an cleo
ton. This was true not because
Mexicans love America, but because
machine guns available for one side
and not available for the other make
all the dicerence in faction fighting.
Carranza is now trusting to Japan,
has cancelled orders in the United
States for arms and given his pa
tronage to Nippon. That he is dick
ering with Germany is denied rather
weakly. The outlook is not too
pleasant. Yet Carranza, by chang
ing his coupse, by granting full am
nesty to his foes, by making friends
again with Washington, might have
a great opportunity before him. He
is reported to have polled some $780,
600 votes as against 100000 for Ma
dero in 1911. For the first time In
dams voted. A curious sidelight on
the politics of Mexico appears III the
fact that one woman has been elected
to the Lower House of Congress. We
also have one woman in Miss Rankin
of Montana. In this sort of progress
Mexico has followed United States
example.

The CITY Library

The Bedding City library has now
been running two years and what was
an experiment has become an institu-
ton that no citizen would wish to see
discontinued. But in spite of its
youth the library has been a distinct
success. The citizens have stood
back of the library and this pleas
ant attitude has been much appreciat-
ed. But there are things yet to be
done. We need bookcases; we need
a clock; we need more books and
but all these things take
money. If it mi.-.slt be possible that
an. extra effort be made to get some
of these ,thngs the work and influ-
ence cc the library would be greatly
extended. As a center the library
hs a great future and little extra
help just now will mean a great deal.

COAL TRUST INDUCEMENTS

II number of men representing
great coal interests met in January
of this year at the Waldorf Astoria
and decided to "boost" the price of
the sort of coal used by the United
States Navy SO as to make $34, 000,-
600 more profits in year, the long
list Of indictments under antitrust
laws handed up by the Federal Grand
Jury in Manhattan, this week, may
be justified on other than business
grounds Raising the price of navy
coal at a time when the nation was in
peril was unpatriotic as well as ex-
tortionate.
Sixty-four men and 108 corpora
tions are indicted. The men, if con-
victed, may be sent to prison for a
year each. The corporations can on
ly be subjected to fines aggregating
it is said $4,000.
The public has been very patient
about the swollen prices of coal. It
has, tried to consider seriously the
shortage of miners caused by the re-
turn Of Russian and Austrian SUBJ
jects to their native lands to fight
in the armies. But it has, all the
while, suspected that the shortage
exaggerated, has all the while doubt
ed the good faith of the coal men.
It's suspicious are confirmed by the
Grand Jury's action; very strongly
confirmed.

DEAD AND SHOULD BE BURIED

The Columbia treaty has been left
in the senatorial discard. In it's
present form it probably is dead for
ever, Every device its advocates
Gould think of was used in the effort
to ratify it, but without effect. What
was probably considered trump
card gave the treaty its quietus. The
advocates tried to appeal to the fears
of the senate, saying that it was the
patriotic duty of that body to ratify
the pact in time of national danger.
But they could not hide the fact that
what they really were asking was the
payment of $25,000,000 tribute and
blackmail to a minor power, and this
was fully exposed on the floor of the
senate. Not even the dullest pro-
ponent of the treaty understands
what has happened and how every
chance for securing confirmation has
been lost.
The suggestion is being put out
that a new treaty will be negotiated
with Columbia which will be less dis
tasteful to the members of the upper
house, and that this will later be
submitted. The course of wisdom and
common sense patriotism will be
to drop the whole enterprise. There
is no necessity and no excuse for a
special treaty with Columbia. The
one just thrown aside was drawn up
and negotiated with a single pur-
pose in view, to slap at the Roose-
welt administration. The talk about
righteous restitution to Columbia
has been either silly nonsense or rank
hypocrisy Another treaty would
merely be persistence in an effort
