The comment ran that probably the only material dif ference with Wilson was that he would sot have a war to manage In his administration,' ' A short time ago U looked very much as 't Wilson would have his war. And the danger may hot yet be past, In spite of the arbitrary powers of some people and the ac quiescence of others. The Mexicans are a bad lot . :' When we think of General! Hu erta as an Indian rather than a Mexican or even a Spaniard, some things become explainable that oth te we could not see through. To think of him in this way we can better understand his cruelty,, his tenacity and his stupidity Think of him in the same breath with Sit ting Bull or White Owl's Feather, and you wilt understand, for he iC nothing more than a peer .for the great Ohief. t When JHuenta was young his tribe was visited by solders whose1 gen eral happened to have need of a secretary. The Indian boy Huerta could read and write. a rare aconi' pMBhment, having beon taught in thg Mexican Indian village school. He got the position of secretary is the general, who took html to the capitol. and becoming interested in him sent hini to military school. Af ter that he served asi a soldier un der Diaz.

Villa, the rebel leader under Car- ranza, began life as a hired assas sin. These represent the type of men with 'wfacin wo mutt deal in Mexico. And yet, the general com ment Is that theMexican people so far have behaved themselves ex ceptionally well for Mexicans. They have shown a restraint that we really thought they hadn't the ca pacity for, considering the false and inflaming reports published throug1!! Mexico for the purpose, no doubt, of enraging tliem to the point of war. Ex-l'resiident Taft said he did not censure the administration for th course taken, but that he thought the United States was facing the most serious problem it had ev. faced if It undertook to straighten Mexico's tangle. I do not believe any person wwuld doubt the truth of this state ment. But no doubt T'rcsiilent Wil son's conception of what we are fac lua; when we go to wa.r with Mex ico Is as clear as Mr. Taft's, And I, for one. am glad we had Wilson to steer our course. There is in Taft's statement a carefully ved led criticism in pito of his assurance to the contrary. But If we n.re to have peace all criticisms of that nature are of no avail, i The sentiment that Wilson is the right man in the right place .seems to be universal.

Some of these said that tie President policy was hesitating because he re fused to rush an army to Mexico City, and because he accepted te proposition of Argentina, Brazil and Chile to mediate in ithe interest of peace.' They predicted the failure slow tn answer that he was follow ing his "conscientious judgment." and would follow it if he lost the suppejt of the newspapers and of Confess. . This is tie sort of dm we need at Washington have need ed 'or a long time. f What the President wants is peace. But. if he must sacrifice it to R"in respect and safety and hoaor to the flag and to the Amer ican people then he will sacrifice it. That is nothing but the natu ral, hontet policy of a sane., hon est man. ; ; : 6ome have been saying that whtii the United States flag goes into Mexico it will stay Irere, and Mex ico will become annexed. That is what they want. They have even raSsed the cry "on to the Isthmus,' indicating that eventually the Unit- States will control everything clean through to the Isthmus of Panama. Now it ia not the purpose of the wiiter to argue that possession by the United States will never take place, nor that it would be a bad thing, but there are those wise enough to see that this premature sentiment concerning annexation is not an honest one. Although preach ed in the name of patriotism, it is the wteh of those who hope to make money out of the war and annexation. Such agitators as these oppose the PrekSiident's plan, of course. They Mked him better when they thought he was about to have w-ar with Mexico. It Is necessary that such false patriofiisim and double dealing be distinctly understood by the people, and that they throw cold water on the flame whenever it arlsesi. What the people want is a satis factory settlement of Mexico's prob lems sw that it may Jf poesibl. govern itspl.f with greater enlight enment than it has heretofore done The great mass of American people aJid the President are t rw gpter in this desire. The whole civ ilized world is in accord with the Idea. And even if the peace move ment fails utterly, we have already, by the diplomatic strokes 'of our efficient and conscientious chief, a.ind the good opinion of the world, and more especially of those countries who thought they had n right to suspect u.
