FIREARMS IN POLITICS

The situation in Mexico is another demonstra-
ton of the fact that the only way to get rid of
administration in that country is to it with
bayonets and bullets An election has been due
there for months, and Carranza had been promising
to call for months Gen. Obregon announced
lis candidacy for the Presidency, and popular
tment turning toward him. Carranza began
military tactics to stamp out the boom, and, APP
parently, to forfe demand that he stay in power
The Obregon supporters in his home State of Sonora
twigged the situation, and decided to nip it in the
budis They started revolution, and the indca-
lions Mexico will have election just as soon
as Carranza's troops whipped, and-the
fu candidate Will probably be Obregon. Unless
of course the revolution should develop leader that
would be both ambitious and popuar than
Obreeon.

WILL PROPOSE AMENDMENT
 Tn rnMPENS ArInN AZ

Daniel F. Pickett of Waterbury, state senator-elect from the sixteenth district, writes The Bulletin regarding an amend ment to the workmen's compensation act that he is to present. es4
 Senator Pickett writes as follows:
 In the next session of the general as sembly I intend to propose an amend ment to the present compensation act providing for additional compensation for married persons with families The pre- ent law makes no discrimination be- tween single and married persons in this respect. From personal experience in my law practice I have found married men with large families forced to return to work sooner than advisable simply be cause they could not afford to stay home and accept the compensation awarded to them. The compensation law should fol low the tendency generally observed everywhere to make such discrimif. ation. The government in the income tax and draft laws, the widows pen sion fund. societies, etc, favor those hay. Ing dependents. I will recommend that the rate of compensation, shall be some what more for married person than foI single person similarly injured, that a man with one. child shall. receive "a still greater allowance and that the al lowance and that the allowance shall b. increased according to the, size of the family. As this is non partisan meas
 ure it should find favor with the major, ity of the assembly, Any suggestions iron your readers will be thankfully receiy ed for my consideration '" 7i T-i.

 Representative Leh.bach has no in- tention of introducing any legislation de signed to put the presidential. postmast- CTS under :ne civil service. because he Is of the opinion that the public service will be better by allowing the people in each community to pass upon who they believe can best fill the position in harmony with the policies and plans of the ad- ministration.
 He says. that ''it is important that every executive and administrative head should work in harmony and with unity of purpose with the administration" He
 points out that the people of the country by unprecedented voice have dEclared they want republicans to take charge of the public business and that the post mastership in each community is the im- mediate point of contact between tho people and the public service It is tho one job that comes closest to all thu people of the country.

ss INSECURE IN OFFICE


 According to the report in washington democratic postmasters are to be replac- ed by republicans notwithstanding Pres ident Wilson's -ofder of March 31. 1917 which was supposed to have put these of ficers under tre civil service. This state rnent is based on an interpretation of the situation by Representative Frederick R. Lehibach Of New Jersey, chairman of the committee on reform in the civil ser vice.
 Norwich and New . London are two communities having an interest in post masterships. as both have incumbents in the. office unler democratic appointment with some time of their terms. to run yet.
 Representative Lehlach , maintains that President Wilson's order covering the .so-called presidential" postmasters- of, the first, second and third ciass-did not put the postmasters under-civil ser vice. as. this could he done only by an act of conEress: and that 1t merely defined d method of selecting those who would be nominated by the president. He believes the postal service will be improved by re- placing the democratic incumbents with republicans, and by continuing the custom i.of holding. these ,.presidential" postmas- terships to be patronage positions. s's'No one knows what PresidJ nit Hard ing may do about that order. or whether l it may be the policy of the republican ad, rninistration to put all postmasters under l the civil Service by new legislation.

 LOSES SUIT OVER PATENTS

A suit to recover profits amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars derived from the use of certain anii-fricfion hall bearing patents will be the sequel, it is predicted to the decision handed down by United States Judge Erwin L. Garvin in New Haven Wednesday against the Mar iin-Rockwel or Rockwell Drake cor poration in action brought by the New Departure Manufacturing company of New Britain.
 Judge .Garvin declared himself after lengthy written resume of the case. in favor of decree restraining the Rock well-Drake company from inf-ingemen nt of patents for improvements in anti friction bearings alleged to have been invented by Albert F. Rockwell, one of ! the defendants. and former empioye of the New Britain corporation. Rockwell. who entered the employ of the New De- parture company at an early age and who is said to have originated some of it's most valuable manufacturing assets was discharged from hls position as gen eral manager and herewith turned over his patents for production to the New | Britain plant.
 Before entering a suit to recover the | money gained by the New Haven con l cern during the use of the patents |
 was decided that the United States cour' be called upon to establish the validity of the contract between the New De parture company and Mir Rockwell Tn | New Britain firm contended that as stip l ulated in the contract. 1t was free tf l discharge Mir.
