FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1014. ir.4rCi.Y(; ASD WAITING The Mexican situation lias assumed a condition of watching and waiting. Both sides have agreed to arbitration and are waiting to see what kind of terms can he agreed upon, or whether an agreement can be reached or not. Sentiment at the Mexican Capital is changing according to report, ami a rebel demon stration which was pulled off in Mexico City seems to have taken most of the courage out of Huerta who is reported to have, hidden in one of the foreign em-1 ba.-sies to save his life, or rather ; in fear that his life was in j danger. I If these reports are true it is! very probable that an agreement! can be reached as Huerta will not likely be over exacting in 1 his demands. I Strained relations are reported l)ftween Villa, the Constitution alist general, and Carranza, the constituted head of the rebel movement, over the attitude each has taken in regard to the injection of United States inter ference with Huerta's insolence and insults to this government. Carranza demanded the with drawal of the U. S. troops on the ground that it was an insult to the Mexican nation, which has caused Villa and others much trouble to explain away the apparent unfriendly attitude of the rebel leader. Villa as sumes a friendly attitude and this seems to make the misun derstanding. Villa has shown by achieve ment that he is the backbone of the rebtl movement and were he eliminated from the rebel cause it would wane. But, on the other hand, were Carranza to drop out there would be very little or no perceptible difference in the advancement of the rebel His statement is further inter esting because it indicates that Villa wants no trouble with the United States. He realizes that American intervention in Mexi co would sound the death knell to his plans and his ambitions. He hopes above all things that the United States will retire from Mexican soil and leave events to take their own course. N'atur allv he would not object to the elimination of Huerta, but he fears that if the matter is carried that far it will not stop there, and he probably feels amply ning side.

The Status of Villa General Villa's statement that he will decline to be dragged in to a war with the United States by anybody is interesting for two reasons. For one thing it supplies proof of what everyone already knew that Villa is the real head of the constitutionalist movement. Carranza supposed ly Villa's chief had issued a statement in which hevdeclared that he could construe the occu pation of Vera Cruz by the United States iu no other way than as an insult to the Mexican nation, and implying that all Mexicans must unite to oppose the common foe. Now comes Villa with a statement that he will not be dragged into war with the United States by any one. In effect he says that Car ranza has talked too much but that what he has said must not be taken as important because he has not the power to enforce An interesting point has been raised by an ex-convict iu Rhode Island, the decision of which by the courts of that state may go far to settle the vexed question convict labor. He maintains that he was not a slave when im prisoned and that therefore the state had no right to sell his la bor to a contractor. The Nation al Committee on Prison Labor, which is backing him, maintains that a convict should be paid decent wages for the benefit of bis family. The question is asked whether he may not sue for more pay if the state sells his labor to a contractor for less than its market value Daily Oregonia n.

Bennett for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Oregon, the en tire space being used in the in terest of Mr. Bennett's candida cy. Mr. Bennett is a very able man with an excellent and clean record and has many strong sup porters in Polk county, but we are not sufficiently informed to say which is the stronger, he or Charles J.
