What a contrast between the city of Paris and the nation of France at that very moment. While Lisle’s remains were being taken through the streets, on the gun' carriage, led by a detachment of dragoons and followed by President Poincare, all members of the cabinet, the presidents of the senate and cham- ber, and the highest cfficials of the government, wounded soldiers and cltizens, out through the provinces of France were men fighting to the death for the: liberty of which Lisle: sung: And they were spurred ‘on by - the strains of the Marseillaise.

McMILLAN 199-201-203 MAIN STREET your feelings to some éxtent, but they may prove a bommerang. ; Until recently there was employed in one of the downtown exchanges an operator of the sweet and demure .type. She retained her temper under the most trying conditions, No mat- ter how much the provocation; her voice was sweet and pleasant at all times. One of the men whose calls she an- swered had a chronic attack of ‘“grouchitis.” The moment he took the receiver from the hook he’ began: to froth and fulne. He seldom had an occasion to use the phoné that he did not ‘“bawl out” the operator. She bore it all patiently because she was happy in 'the thought She was soon to quit her job and look after the home of a young man who did not “bawl her out” when he called. . A few days ago she bid her fellow workers in the telephone office ] goodby: . Leaving the office she head- ed: qtraig‘ht for the wholesale district and en!ered one of the largest estab- \lisiments. ' She dsked for the' pro- - prietor und was flnally shown ima his offte. ‘“Are you Mr. " ‘she asked. “Yes, ‘what is it?” was the answer. “Well, "I am Miss , from the telephone ‘exchange, and I called ' to tell. I—1 called to tell—TI. ot “Well, what do you want to tell 2" he shouted. “To tell you to go to h—ell,” was the answed that greeted the aston- ished grouch. “What. do you mean?

' Latest advices from the Mexican seat of war would indicate that Gen- eral Carranza did not intend to wait to make any agreement with Villa, and establishing '‘a government at Mexico city, which would be satisfac- tory to the United States. In fact his' only rejoinder:to Villa’s propo- sal of coming to some understanding “has been’ to consistently drive harrer at the ‘latter’s army and has finally succeeded in establishing himself at Mexico city.: Thié latest feat has made the Carranza stock go up a lit- tle: ¥ In an.effort' to secure recognition from the Uniled Sthtes he has an- nounced ‘his intention of ~moving the constitutionglist = government ~ from Vera Cruz to Mexico ‘city. as the railroads are repaired, Gen.

He is now on his way ‘to Mexico city, followed by other officials and employes of the postal, telegraph, other departments. While Carranza may be able ' to set up a government it is a question whether' ne can eventually pacify Mexico. The capture and control of Mexico City is but an #dded burden and’ disadvantage accotding . to the Villistas, who claim it requires about 8,000 troops to garrison - the place. This force of men is accordingly ren- dered immobile and a serious loss to an army the size of those fighting in Mexico today. Recognition from’the United States, however, will depend greatly upon.

England’s dernocrauc system of government, under which liberty of the individual is broad and the au- Athority of the government is sub- ordinated to the will of the people, is a poor condition for a eountry to be In when suddenly menaced by war. This is now universally admit- ted. Most people who love liberty and believe in popular ' government think, however, that the advantages of ‘the popular principle are sufficient to outweigh the disadvantages which arise at such a crisis. ° They no doubt. do 'so from our American point of view—unless the crisis came so sud- denly and the ‘time for' preparation was 8o short that a government might be destroyed before it could be ready. That would: be too great -a price to pay. England is not in such a desperate state as that.

Not a Difficult Decision. (New Haven Register.) Among all the governors of the state, each facing the “Raris judg- ment” of choosing his state’s most tinguished citizen to be San Fran- cisco exposition guest, the governor of Connecticut is fortunate. His choice, as it were, has been made for him by circumstances. Surely elec- tien to the office of president of the United States in itself makes a man distinguished. But when. he has served in that office with ‘exceeding distinction, when 'He has wWithdrawn to a retiremen! in which his prestige and his honor the ‘country over gro ‘with ‘' evéry "passing day, the chol becomes less gnd 1éss a possible qu tion. e To have among its citizens a presi- dent or an'ex-president is a verv rare’ distinction for a state’ i thése days.
