MExIco.s NEW REatMr.

With the inauguration of General AL varo Obregon as president of the Mexican republic that country has much more promising outlook than has been vis- toned before for long time, if it is pos- sible to judge by, the attitude and actions of the-de facto government which he suc- ceeds.
 While the Mexican. government for the past. several years had gotten the recog- milton of this country it showed little or no gratitude for the manifestations of friendships and the long toleration of the great list of abuses experienced from below the border The opposition to the United States that appeared in Mexico was encouraged rather than discouraged. The importance of maintaining the ties of friendship between the two countries through the respect for the rights of the other was clearly disregarded on the part of Mexico and from the toleration that was shown to the course that Mexico was pursuing the impression seemed to have been gained that Mexico wasn obliged to do any different than il was doing.
 During the Carranza control there came a time, however, when even Mexi- cans recognized the harm that was being done to Mexico by his policies and in or der to prevent the continuance of them under his influence though possibly not under his hand the overthrow of his government was accomplished in cbsr- ! acteristic Mexican style.
 The ending of his influence, however and the supplanting of it with that oi the temporary government under de Ia Huerta has been beneficial Mexico has undergone much needed honsecieaning Conditions there are improving. Reforms have been instituted and Mexico for ths l first time in years can be said to be 1 looking up. 0bregon therefore take!
 hold of the reins at an suspicious time 1 He gives promise of much more efficien I direction Of Mexican affairs. Good in 1 huences appear to be at work within ant I in view of the changed attitude towaf, other countries and the determination t see that their$ rights are respected tn I new government has good reason to loo '! for recognition Certainly there ar
 much better grounds for it than ther Il ever were in Carranza's case, and it to be hoped that the day will not Be ia
 distant when Mexico will holA the pos
 ton it should among the nations of thi
 hemisphere.

WEST vfhe1xtA's DisoRpERs.

Trouble in the coal mining regions of West Virginia is by no means new. It has been experienced with regret on too many occasions and the present out. break appears to be only a continuance of bad examples of the past.
 Disregard for law and order has been responsible for the calling out of troops on many occasions resulting in much bloodshed before and after. Regardless cf the merits of the trouble that has precipitated the nenacing situation in one of the coal mining counties of the state, 1t is made evident from the ap- peal of the governor to the federal au- thorities that West Virginia is either actually unable to deal with the situa- tion and preserve order within it's bo-- ders or else it seeks to place the respof- sibility in other hands which it believes will be more effective and which will not be swayed by favoritism or sympathy and therefore should be able to get quicker and better results
 Whenever a state is unable to handle conditions within its limits it Is to be expected that federal assistance will bt raiied for, but it can be appreciated that a state Is reluctant to any such adms slon. That indicates that somethins nnst be radically wrong and that it il hma to make determined stand in be

HELPING ARMENIA

Through the persistency of it's efforts Europe appears to have accomplished tol a certain degree what it wanted when itl secured from President Wilson an offer of his services to negotiate an. agree ment between the Armenians and thel Turkish nationalists that will put to Nan end the. difficulties which now beset tNe Armenians and reduce the liability of those people being exterininated by the Turkish sword.
 The personal offer of President Will son. as he plainly points out, does not contemplate the services of an armed force from this country or the financial backing of this government It Is nos an attempt to bolster up and stand spon- sor for the Armenian government but it is in keeping with the suggestion male by M. Niviani at the session of the league of nations at Geneva in which bt deplored the plight of the Arfrenians and the way in which they had been ne- elected and urged that an effort be mads to put an end to the Armenian ques- ton by endeavoring to bring the Turks and the Armenians to terms.
 It was as the result of this apreal that the league asked for some nat'on
 
 to volunteer to mediate, and the United States was included, in the hope th4 it's services could be obtained quite the same as reliance was placed upon this country months ago to accept the man date of the league for Arnena The at- titude of the big powers toward Ar menia has been to let Uncle Sam do it. This country has properly held aloof from getting into any such entangle- ment and what the president does now, while doubtless pleasing to the Euro pean countries, looks toward com promising, of demands rather than con- tinued bloodshed for securing peace in that quarter
 Acting as the representative of the league it must of necessity be expected that the league members will furnish whatever is needed in the way of funds and forces, though if it is a case of ar. bitration with both sides agreeing to abide by the decision troops should bt required solely for protective rather thar offensive purposes.
 Armenia certainly needs all the help f can get and as soon as it can get it.

In other years there has been vide spread interest throughout the state in the contribution of assistance to the fight being made against tuberculosis through the medium of the Christmas seals. It has been recognized that there is fur nished thereby an opportunity for each and everyone to participate in this most worthy cause and aid through such help as can De given, whether it is large or small, in bettering the health conditions throughout the commonwealth.

RIGHT TIME FOR ECONOMY.

Viewed solely from a political stand point it may not be surprising that en1- ployes of the state of New York are gloomy over the announcement made by Governor elect Miller to the effect that economy is going to prevail during his administration. They 'llave had visions of. large pay increases. the creation of jobs paying fat salaries and A drain upon the public till because of the sweep ing victory that took place in Novem- Der, but no chief executive can be ex- pected to serve his constituents and dis play regard for the interests of the state and engage in any such policy.
 Confronted with budget requests for the next two years that are the largest in the history of the state it is only in keeping with what is to be expected from businesslke conduct of state affairs that the governor of any state should in sist upon the exercise of economy and the practice of efficiency in every depart ment of the state There is nothing ir the election results that sanctions tht throwing wide open of the gates of tht treasury in any state. There is on tn, other hand good and sufficient reason
  taken to see that state expenditures >ar kept within bounds.
 There are few states which have sucl revenue that they can disregard econ omy and the blocking of waste. Inethi state there is a call for more revenu or d reduction in the expenditures, en with New York facing record brelkin budget that would appear to be the situa 1 tion there.
 l Thus Governor-e elect Miller's position the proper one. It may be disappolni ing to the already well paid office holo
 CTS to learn that their salaries are nc | going to be boosted but it is far bette
 to disappoint them than to disappc:r the entire body of taxpayers of the ssai | by increasing a burden which is to | large already.
