The uncertainty of the Mexican sit- uation has again been demonstrated by the clever manoeuvre of General| Huerta in charge of the federal forces in Mexico, whereby he has checked the revolt in the City of Mexico and become the provisional governor gén- eral of the country, thus wresting whatever honor there is in such eon- trol from both Madero and Diaz but with the consent of the latter. This gives a new phase to the situation in the republic. General Diaz is avenged against Madero for the driving ‘out of Porfirio Diaz and must be reck- oned in the future as ome of the lead- ers. The treachery which besets a president of Mexico is indicateti by the action of General Huerta, but it was plain that Madero had lost control and was unable to improve conditions. Temporarily the strife will cease, but it remains to be seen whether subse- quent actien will be such as to keep it down and wive out the uprisings. Tt means a great relief to the people of the city, and this government, which feels that its Policy -of non-interven- tion has been justified. If.it is a set- tement, it is well that Mexico has done 1t herself. General Huerta has shown that he realized the situation far better than his superior and took advantage of it. He now has a far greater taek before him in the paci- fying of the varlous factions, and un- til that seems likely this country will maintain it guardianship over its in- terests. THE AMERICAN INDIAN. When it comes to erecting memortals to commemorate great men, or races of men, it is a most worthy under- taking, which will take visible shape on Washington’s birthday anniversary, when ground is to be broken for al monument for the North American In- dian in the military reservation on Staten Island, as authorized by con- gress. It is fitting that there should be some such recognition of this sturdy class of early inhabitants of this coun- try, who have played such an im- portant part in its early history and are now fast disappearing. They played their part in the mak- ing of this nation what it is, and chiefly through adverse action during its earlier years. In erecting a mon- ument to his memory there is a trib- ute of modern civilization to the race which preceded and succumbed to the law of the survival of the fittest. The Indian has gone as a race, the same as many other early races have been exterminated. He bad his peculiar traits and among them was his great strength of character from which a most_ impressive lesson will always be obtainabie. i3 We have paid slightly what we owe to the redman for our conquests and it is but a small -recognition of our obligations when we place a monu- ment to his memory and to that of his race and history. With representatives of thirty tribes in attendance there will be present a hamdful of a fast disappearing race against which civilization has been the victor and left us the possessors:of their wealth and resources in this land. Sk | THE APPEAL IS PROPER. It is well and proper that the find- ing in the Castro case, which admit- ted him to this country shouid be ap- pealed to the United States supreme court. There is an important question involved therein which needs to be d termined, and properly so, for the fu- ture guidance of the government in relation to similar cases. The Castro matter has involved some interesting questions as to the powers of the gov- ernment and the rights of the immi- grants under the existing laws. It is evident that other cases of the kind are going to come up and as the mat- ter now stands Castre has nothing against his character which should ex- clude him from fhe country, notwith- standing the ruling of the immigra- tion officials. Under our laws the immigrant must rass certain requirements und by so doing he is given certain rights which entitle him to admission to the coun- " The immigration officials have iutics which are te be discharged un- or the government regulations, Cas- wias given hearing and upon the vidence which included his refasal ‘0 unswer the question as te whether i had murdered & fellow countryman, (he government excluded him and on that evidence of exciusion the fed- eral court hoids that he was iliegaily Testrained frem entering the country. It 'is apparent that there is need for try in communities of a thousand or two. -The need of three battleships is' declared imperative by the depart- ment head, but 1t will be fortunate to | secure twe from the present congress, even at the likelihood of losing its standing among other nations and its greatest argument in behalf of pesce. ft is apparent that economy ls not always applied at its most needed point. : THE PRESIDENT SUSTAINED. The veto by the president of the im- migration bill has ' been sustained through the vote of the-house of rep- resentatives after the senate had voted to overnjde it. ‘This shows an instance ‘where e house gave graver comsid- eration ta the action of the president than the senators did. This disposes of the plan te place the literacy test as a stumbling block for the immigrant and makes it nec sary to meet the restriction of “unde- sirables that same further effort be devoted to the solving of the prob- fem. The feeling of the country is well reflected by the Boston Adver- tiger Whem it savs: “The great bulk of the American people will stand with President Taft upon his veto of the immigration bill Although he did not find fault with as the substance of the bill, he vetoed the measure because of the require- merit of an educational test. Mr. Taft gave a splendid example of a pains- taking executive, in the way in which he strove to get information and hear arguments upon the question. When he finally decided to veto the bill it was because he was convinced that inability to read and write is no assur- ance that a mah or woman applying for admission to the United Sgates will be an nnworthy citizen. In countries where popular education is easily had, illiteracy is almost a proof of a moral or mental lack. but this is not s6 in many of the countries from which the United States has drawn its people. Some of the best pioneers in America have been unable to do more than make their mark, but have been a credit to their country, nevertheless.” EDITORIAL NOTES. It doesn't make any difference what the needs of the country are the “Dork barrel” must be filled. The calling off of the strike possi- bility has reduced the number plan- ning to join the hikers. The fact that they both have uncles has been the cause of ‘much of the trouble for Madero and Diaz. If Mexico only had a navy it would ofter twice the market for the makers of ammunition that it does tcday. If Madero is fortunate, Porfirio Diaz, Mylius, and Castro will have a chance to welcome him to the exile club. The bombardment which the city of Mexico has been receiving is all cai- culated to aid in a building boom this spring. Mr. Morgan might be commissioned while he is over there to find out about and report on the alleged death of Menelik. —_— So far as learned Mr. Bennett's ex- perience as a road builder pales be- side that of the present holder of the state office. The skates are getting some use.after all, but every day now brings nearer the time when the Christmas sled goes on .the shelf. It is ta be hoped that the last. rail- road strike has been witnessed and that the merits of arbitration will ever Keép it on top. Madero would have left the office of president of Mexico with better grace if he had carried out his first deter-.| mination to resign. Happy thought for today: A man's statement as to his salary will be kept “within the bounds of reason hereafter by the income .tax list. The turning on Enver Bey the Young Turk leader‘and the attempt on his Aife displays the condition in the Turk- ish army teda: The Young Turk | movement is.a disaster. President Poincare of France has been elected, since and inaugurated before Mr. lson. He has had less time to worry about the things which are going to bother him. Certainly conditions cannot be any worse in Mexico than they have been but there must be a wonderful im- provement before the republic can re- turn to its mormal condition. Courts are finding it necesfary to impose heavy sentences on the vio- lators of the white slave law, but con- gress refuses to appropriate $200,000 to be devoted to stopping the traffic.

Mr. Editor: In’the proposed ordi- nance relating to peddiers’.licenses or- dained by that “august body” the court of common council of the city of Norwich Feb. 3, 1918, the said com- | mon council i§ running up against a snag in the shape of Chapter 221, Pub- lic Acts, state of Connecticut, approved Aug. 13, 1909, and which has never been repealed and will some attorney show Low the court of common council of the city of Norwich. can set them- selves up above the legislature of the state. Section 1 of thé proposed city ordinance ss_undoubtedly based on section 1 of the legislative act of Aug.i 12,-1909. Section 2 of the same act knocks section 1 of the city ordinance into smithereens. Sald section 1, city ordinance, reads: No person except those exempted by the statutes of this state shall sell upon the streets, walks, or public grounds of the city of Nor- wich, groceries, meats, ~provisions, fruits, goods, wares or other merchan- dise, or shall peddle or soliclt sales of | | such merchandise from house to house | within_said city unless having, a li cense from the court of common coun- <il of the city of Norwich. Now, who are exempted from this | license by the statutes of the state Farmers and gardeners of the produce | of their farms and gardens, persons | who sell, distribute and deliver ice, | milk, teas, coffees, spices, groceries, meatfs and bakery goods, or making conditional sales of merchandise, so according to the laws of the state all persons who deal in any of the above mentioned grticles are exempt from j the provisions. of section 1, eily or- dinance and again section 1 could be so construed that every grocer butcher, and fruit stand would have to take out a license and lug a metal badge around —a sort of now you see it and now vou don't. - As it looks to me, the only persons not exempt and eligible to license and to wear the metal badge are the pack peddlers, soap distributors and spec- tacle agents, The rag and old firon gatherers are taken care of by the junk Gealers law. This peddlers’ li- Ccense fee and metal badge scheme has been incubated and hatched out by the Busihess Men's assocfation of Nor- wich and is second cousin to the pe- titfong of 40 - other merchants, which was Taunched & few years ago and | brought beforé Ahe eommon council for the express purpose of muzzling the tarmers und hugksters and pre- vent them from peddling from house to house, competing with said 48 other merchants. It was suggested at that tme that fhe vacamc ot where the new Builetin buildlag now stands be utilized as a public stand for farmers and hucksters. City hall square on the Broadway side was suggested for another stand.” Finally the cencensus of opinion was for Franklin square as the spot tu herd the farmers and ped- dlers on. ‘A dealer put up a vigorous kick which put .a _quietus on the pro- ject aad the dropped out of muffler. { edness, m n Helen, absently.

Now this proposed ordinance of Feb. 3 1913 by the court of common coun- cil of the city of Norwich is class leg- islation, iliegal, contrary to the laws of the state—in fact, usurping the pow- ers of the legislature and I defy the genius of a Philadelphia lawyer to put any other construction on the matter.
