LOOKS MORE LIKE PEACE. The conditions for the restoration of peace in Mexico are brighter today than they were yesterday, when it be- ‘eame known that Huerta had resigned the presidency and that Francisco " Carbajal had become his successor. The latter now says that he is will- | ing to retire in favor of Carranza, the | head of the constitutionalists, his only stipulation being that a general am- jesty be proclaimed and protection be given the property of those who “have been . opposing Carranza and his followers. - No statement -that could be made now could contain any more wisdom than does the utterance of the new president, Carranza may not be just the man to be at the head of the Mexican government, but there'is no ‘doubt but that he is the great leader there now, not because of any su- | perior intelligence, but because he | has won on the fleld of battle and his | opponents ‘have practically capitu- lated. To prolong the war under the | present - circumstances would be to | continue the needless slaughter ot ‘human beings, and Mexico has had enough of that now. || The constitutionalists have, to all intents' and purposes, conquered, and | a1l that remains to be done is to have | a government made up of men agree- le to the victorious side, the rebel ['army disbanded and tne viotor and the vanquished of the present unite in oring peace and prosperity to the ‘eountry, The time is ripe for such a prpgr-.m and the financial condition Mexico is such that.all haste should | be made in bringing about this con- \dition, The fact that the end is near should be gratifying to President fison, who has had a great deal of ‘duble ‘with Mexico, trouble, too, that ‘was difficult to settle. He has also roven that he is a wiser and more fatseeing statesman that his .enemies desired to give'him credit for. They know better now. CITY TO MANAGE MOVIES, St. Louis startsea new way of en- rtaining people in behalf of a muni- cipality ‘this evening when it will give | moving picture shows free. Here- e municipal ,generosity has ex- ‘tended to playgrounds and band con- cel in the Way of amusements, ana these days of progressivism why uld fict the.people be bntertainea the movies? Some one truthfully ‘said that city government is still in {nfancy, it:apparently is and there ‘are comstantly recurring evidences to | prove it There has been a great deal said out the purposes for which public p.m may be used, but if it can be ly appropriated for band ocon- ¥ ts it can undoubtedly be appro- priated for moving pictures. It would ‘seem, however, as if it is stretching law, if there is one conocerning ‘this matter, to use public funds for moving picture exhibitions, but St T.ouis is going to do it and those in- terested in city government may welt ‘watch with interest what the outcome will be There is one thing sure, and 4t is that there will be some queer _changes in the services a city will be performing in & decade or so. The evidence points strongly in that direc- tion now. PREPARING FOR GOV. BALDWIN. 1t is so certain that Governor Bald- win will be the democratic nominee for United States senator that already e fire of the republican papers has ‘been directed against his excellency, in the hope of discrediting his nom- ation.—Bridgeport Telegram. It will be extremely difficult to dis- | eredit Governor Baldwin for the rea-~ on that there is no one except, pos- Gibly, the most blind partisan who | will not admit that the governor is an ’hle man and well qualified to sit 4:: the senate of the United States. It true he is not young, but years have red his intellect or affectea lmmd and if he is nominated for ator, as the Telegram predicts he ibe, the republicans and progres- will find it hard to defeat him. i said that the governor, is so ed with his own importance o desires everything to be sub- cause of this feeling he has_aroused some opposition to himself. This is no doubt true, but that will hardly cause people to vote against him. He is almost certain to be opposed and violently, too, by ‘Mr. Roosevelt when the latter comes to Hartford to help out the progressives, but even'that is not going to do much if any harm. The colonel will have his own party fish to fry this fall in Connecticut and whatever damage he does will be to the republican organization and to a good man, Senator Brandegee. According to reports current throughout the state, Congressman Mahan is also in the field for Unitea States aenator and if he is in earnest the convention can be set down now as being likely to have some exciting moments. Mr. Mahan is one of those public men who make friends and keep them, and besides he can seek a nomination for any office with the assurance that if elected he could fih it. Men like him are not to be dis- posed of with a wave of the hand or by the utterances of those whose only claim to recognition is that they can talk without thinking. The senatoriai situation, however, ought to begin soon to clear up. BRISTOL'S BEAUTIFUD HARBOR. - We trust that the New Britain canal diggers, by proxy, have taken note of what has been going on during the period their attention has been taken up and diverted by their Mayor Quig- ley to sewer systems and municipal ice. While New Britain was other- wise engaged Bristol has arrived and has a beautiful harbor on which the famous cup defender Resolute sails with all the grace and speed charac- teristic of the Herreschoff creations. Pcssibly New Britain, belng so en- grossed in pressing municipal affairs and so deeply concerned in getting its league ball team out of the cellar, may not as yet have awakened to the fact that Bristol has been salling circles around her and has her end of the splendid harbor while the Hardware city merely possesses as yet not even a blue print of the much-talked-of canal. For proof of this we refer the Herald and other parties to the authoritative pictures that a New York concern has scat- tered about the world showing the yacht Resolute swiftly sailing down the harbor of Bristol, Conn.,, the same being described in big fat type. That shows how New Yorkers regard Bristol. They accord her the place of ‘honor and a lovely harbor and do not even mention New Britain, which is lavdable and correct. They under- stand relative values. We are sorry New Britain is not actively engaged in digging the ditch she aspires to be- cause if it were completed in time the Resolute after the cup races might come back to. Bristol towing the Bhamrock through that canal. —Bris- tol Press. The pictures have not yet arrived, but in¢these days of uncertain mail deliveries they may come yet, possibly before the day is over, and in the meantime we accept as true the state- ment of our esteemed contemporary. It ie a pleasure to note that the fame of the new city is spreading.and that it no longer rests upon the marvelous feat performed by the dry gentlemen last autumn or on the attempt of ‘Jimmie”” Cray to remove the bed clothes from the. well rounded form of Noble B\ Plerce, et al., as they say in municipalities. It must have been a great day when the Resolute glided gracefully along the Pequabuck with full sail set, causing the people to think that the canal committee was coming to look over things. So long, ‘however, as the present parched con- dition of Bristol continues there is no likelthood of Washington or Connec- ticut statesmen making a visit for in the event of any of the gentlemen being seized by sudden {llness or any other spasmodic contraction of the muscles that would not give exterior evidence of snake bite he would find himself in as unhappy a state as did Colonel Roosevelt when he ran short of rations in Brazil. Of course New Britain with its multitude of various dispensaries could be appealed to and we hope not in vain for the latchkey is always on the outside here, except on’ Sunday. That reference to the location of the ball team in the standing cuts us deeply, but then the season is not yet over and while the club may have emerged from the cellar by that time there is no telling where it may go. Bristol is making a strong bid to be made head of the canal and for the time being it has obtained a strategic position, but while the Resolute has teen sailing around the harbor we are patiently waiting for the report that it has come back. If we are cor- rectly informed it has, like some other things in Bristol, been bottled up. COMMUNICATED. Inquiry as to Date of Local Dramatic Performance.

O'Dell FACTS AND FANCIES. It is a wonderful thing what a de- lightful vacation one can have get- ting acquainted with the attractive spots around home, for after all a great share of the fun corhes in tell- ing about them.—Norwich Bulletin. A New Jersey judge who has strange ideas of both drunkenness and marriage has sentenced a confirmed drunkard to marry within thirty days, as an aid to reform. It is to be hoped the man knows such a sentence is not lawful, and that somebody will have a few words with the bright Judge.—Brockton Times. “Jeremiah Donovan, democrat, elected to the sixty-third congress,” is" all the biography contained under the heading of fourth Connecticut district in the congressional directory. It imperfectly describes a gentleman who is known very well in Washing- ton, particularly on the democratic side of the house of representatives. In the list and in the vote he counts but one. In effect he is a host.—New Haven Register. It sounds like old days in Pennsyl- vania to read of those two southern railroads that issued in 1913 34,000 free passes to every kind of official and politician who could be of use to them. There really is no excuse for this sort of thing. Ten years ago probably no commonwealth in the United States was more cursed with the pass evil than Pennsylvania, but it was rooted out and the benefits have been very great.—Norwich Rec- ord, There seems to be need for a new school at the militia camp at Niantic —one for the instruction of the sol- dier in the line of maintaining order- ly and decent conduct outside of the camp lines. The outbreak in New Lofidon Sunday night, when police were attacked by militiamen and other persons annoyed, shows that some. of the soldier boys have a mis- takén idea of what liberty to leave camp means. It does not mean li- cense to act like hoodlums.—Ansonia Sentinel. Lobbyists as Candidates. (Bridgeport Post.) The comment of our contemporary. the Hartford Post, upon the candidacy of Charles W. Comstock for governor on the democratic ticket, which we printed yesterday, indicates that some democratic leaders have at last waked up to the danger signal that candidacy presents. In our political notes we long ago pointed out what was going cn. At first the Comstock game was called a joke, but as the days went by and the activity became more open and secret promises, for due consid- eration, were secured, it became ap- parent that while Comstock’s candi- dacy might be a joke from the stand- point of fitness, it threatened to be- come mighty serious under practical manipulation. Of course no one can blame Com- stock for going into the field. He sees in office now a man who did just what he is known to have done. He also sees other men, in both parties, with whom he has worked for years, &spiring for nominations and he can- nat understand why he should be barred while they are favored. Then again, he knows that such men who djd not have the excuse of hire, but who have deliberately plotted to thwart the will of the party and of the people, are even now asking his assistance secretly in order to gain further opportunity to fool the pub- lic. Comstock knows all these things and further knows the hypocrisy be- hind some of the attacks made,upon him. He might, if he cared to, tell a tale or two, especially in connection with the fight against the public utili- ties commission legislation and the subsequent fillintg of that body. Any- how, he sees no reason why a conven- tion which nominated a Robertson and a Baldwin, should not select him, and he is right, from the, lobbyist point of view. Comstock’s service as a lobbyist the capital in the interests of corpora- tions before J. Henry Roraback was a voter. He was closely alliled with the distinguished “king of the lobby,” the Hon. Edward D. Robbins, whose fame has recently spread beyond the confines of his native state. When Robbins retired from prominence after 1907 and Roraback came to the front as “the king,” Comstock repre- sented the democratic half of the “third house. All this has long been known at Bartford. - It was never, however, Llaced hefore the pubMc until The Post told of it. The republican news- papers never hifted at such a thing as the lobby, while the democratic organs limited their exposures to stories about the republican “third house” men. This was one of the in- teresting phases of the whole lobby situation. You would pick up a dem- ocratic newspaper and find a flerce as- sault upon Roraback and then near by some praise for Comstock. How those two worthies used to laugh over it. Again, you would see bitter at- tacks upon Roraback for working in support of a possible corporation romination, while the same newspa- Pperst were trying their best to elect a rallroad director to the office of governor. All this is interesting political his- tory, and because of the record of the past in this direction the attack upon Comstock for his lobby affiliations in the Hartford Post is worthy of note. It marks a strikingly new departure. The whole controversy ralsed by the Comstock candidacy presents a striking factor in the political situa- tion for 1914, Not the least interest- ing thing about it all is that the very attack upon Comstock may be prompt- McMILLAN'S|[ Saturday’s ed by those who have ambitions and yet who are tarred with exactly the same stick as he—the betrayal of public interest for corporation de- mands.

There is a convention which requires a man to wear a coat, or else to lay himself open to the charge of heing no gentleman. But the convention deserves no respect. There is no reason why men should not wear shirtwaists wherever wom- en may go thus attired. The point hardly needs argument. Why must u man put on a coat where a woman 18 not compelled to wear a jacket or a cloak ? This was all decided years ago. Talk about rational summer attire for men is old-fashioned.

Democratic Nomination for Governor. (Bridgeport Standard.) Professor Willard Fisher, one-time mayor of Middletown and new leader of the “‘reform” wing of the demo- cratic party in state affairs, has for- mally announced his willingness to become a candidate for governor next fall. Speaking at a factory meet- ing in Hartford yesterday, Professor Fisher announced himself as a “prob- able candidate” for the officee. He added that he had none of “the po- litical resources, both material and immaterial, which have been em- ployed most and most effeptively in Connecticut,” and suggested that his campaign, if he made one, must draw all its support from the working- man. This - declaration brings the list of announced candidates for the dem- ocratic nomination up to two. “Charley” Comstock's Norwich friends, in their Independence day circular, told the democrats of the state that the one way to repay their big debt to a faithful worker and re- sourceful leader would be* by nam- ing the Montville man for govers nor. George M. Landers of New Britain and Lieutenant-Governor Lyman T. Tingier of Rockville, are yet to be heard from officially as to their can- didacies for the gubernatorial nomi- nation. Both are willing enough and their friends are doing work in their behalf in all parts of the state. For- mal announcements are expected from them within a short time. With four possible candidates ‘n sight and with the season yet young enough to permit the entry of a few more, there are likely to be some in- teresting sessions at the coming dem- ccratic state convention, The last two conventions were very peaceabla affairs, assuming the aspect of rat- ification meetings for Simeon E, Bald- win, This year there may be rows aplenty, showing that the gecidental successes of the last few years have not robbed Connecticut its ability to develop a the shortest possible notice.
