St. Elizabeth's and the Community

1t is announced that thorough
"shake-up" will take place at st.
Elizabeth's. in view of the numerous
escapes that have recently occurred
there and the tragedies that have been
enacted within the walls. The situa.
ton assuredly requires action. If
there are not enough attendants to
handle the 5000 inmates the rules of
the institution must be changed pend
ing the grant of additional forces
through enlarged appropriations. Less
liberty must be given to the more
tractable patients. The grounds Of
the institution are extensive and hard
to patrol. and patient who has the
freedom of the estate may make his
way out if determined. The question
arises whether the wall with which
the place is surrounded is sufficient
to prevent these departures without
permission. 1t develops that one of
the gates. which is kept locked, has
not heretofore been guarded. Now ii
will be attended constantly.
A heavy responsibility attends the
post Of superintendent of an estab
lishment of this character. 1t is pos
sible to sympathize with the officials
in charge in their desire to treat their
patients with the utmost kindness and

fident, and show it.. It has not been
necessary to send either Mr.. Harding
or Gov. Coolidge to the scene. Gov.
Coolidge is near neighbor. Specu-
lation about the majority is current.
Eight or ten thousand would hearten
| the republicans elsewhere. A sub
stantial figure above ten thousand
would be hailed as triumph Of great
significance.
The New York primaries will be
held, and soon after some intensive
campaigning will begin. In the En-
pire state politics is played with
skill and a zest seldom exhibited else
where. Tammany this year is very
much in the picture. The democratic
candidate for President owes his nomi-

Recruits for Wrangel.

It is announced from Warsaw that
several thousand anti-bolshevik Rus
slams have left that city to join the
forces of Baron Gen. Wrangel, who
is conducting vigorous and in the
main successful campaign against the
soviet government in south Russia. No
suggestion is made that these recruits
for Wrangel are men who have lately
been captured in the course of the
Polish counter offensive. But many
thousands Of the soviet troops were
taken prisoner. and it would be quite
within the range Of possibility that
they have been glad OF chance to
turn their guns against the organiza-
ton that has undoubtedly used coer-
cion to recruit the ranks. 1t is stated
in the late dispatches that in a re-
cent unsuccessful attempt by the boil
shevik army to force crossing Of the
Bug between Wlodowa and Dublenka
the red troops were compelled to fight
by the pressure Of machine guns from
che rear. II Wrangel is being re-
c.uited from the bolshevfk ranks
there is reason to hope for his sue
cess and for the steady weakening of
the bolshevik organization.

President Oregon of Mexico.

Alvaro Oregon has been elected
President Of Mexico, with but slight
opposition. The election was quietly
conducted, without friction, and with
every evidence Of disposition by the
people to acquiesce in the choice. De
la Huerta, who has been acting pro-
visional president since the over
throw Of CarranZa, has declared his
readiness to turn over the reins OF
authority to his successor as soon as
the election formalities have been OBJ.
served, and it would therefore ap.
pear probable that in a short time
Mexico will pass upon the plane of
established, regularly constituted gov.
eminent without revolt or violence.
Gen. Obregon has heretofore mani
tested friendly disposition toward
the United States. 1t is true that he
was minister of war in the Carranza
government at the time of the Per-
shing expedition and as such con-
Quoted the negotiations for the with
drawal of the American troops. But
it is recognized that he was merely
carrying out the policy of his chief,
who ruled with as rigid a hand as
ever did Porfirio Diaz. There is evil
dence that Gen. Oregon did not who'll
ly approve Of the attitude Of the gov
eminent at Mexico City at the time.
A different condition prevails now
south Of the Rio Grande. Villa is
pacified and is turning himself into
q farmer and leader Of an agricultural
community comprising his former fol-
lowers. Other bandit chieftains have
been suppressed or converted into good
citizens. Felix Diaz is the only cause
Of present anxiety, having initiated
the beginning Of a revolt His fol-
lowing, however. has never been of a
size to cause anxiety at Mexico City.
Cantu has resigned his governorship
and his disturbance is quelled.
1t is the highest hope of the Ameri-
can people that good government
should be established in Mexico and
that it may endure Obregon is quoted
as having said that he would prefer
to teach his people to use the tooth
brush than the rife. Villas example
in setting up self-supporting colony,
with educational advantages placed at
the disposal Of his men and their fam
HES. is q type Of the new condition.
II Mexico yields to these methods,
learns the ways Of peace and culture
and abstains from warfare as an &C.
cupation. 1t viii advance quickly. 1t
il a rich country. whose natural re-
sources have never been developed.
Oregon has a great chance.
