The Mexican question re mains unsettled ami while as vet the public is kept in the dark as to information sent to and received from Mexico, yet there is a strong peace influence being brought to bear by the Washington administration that is causing hope for a peaceful conclusion of the Mexican strife. However, there are two forces operating in Mexico, outside the factors who are doing the light ing, and the interests of these two divisions are opposed to each other. Large investments have been made in that country by European subjects, and Eng lish investors brought pressure to bear sutficieut to cause the British government to recognize the Huerta government in order to fortify themselves against loss. Now on the other hand there are American interests which are bound up in the constitution alists and these investors are clamoring for the embargo to be taken off so that those who are opposing Huerta can secure arms and ammunition from this country to overthrow the Huerta rule. Huerta came into power through murder and treason and it would be a questionable act to recognize his authority and very much so indeed, if recognition carne before he had secured peace and brought into existence a stable government. What the outcome will be re mains to be seen, but the next few days, doubtless, will shape conditions so that the public will know what to expect. The administration at Washington has taken a stand for peace and if its admonition, which is pre sumed to be equal to an ulti matum, is not acquiesced to, then it is a very easy guess to conclude what will follow. HE ADVERTISES HIMSELF Harry K. Thaw is again be fore the public. While he was shut up at Matteawan he man aged to keep his name before the people by an occasional ef fort to prove his sanity and re gain his liberty, but since his escape he manages to advertise himself even if he has to quarrel with his attendant because his breakfast is late. Thaw is one of a class of whom it can be well said that the world would have been better off if he had never lived, and while we doubt whether any person .ever seriously believed him insane, yet to escape the death penalty for the murder of White, another undesirable to good society, he pleaded insanity thinking that he would soon be able to prove his sanity and stand free. However, there was and is de termined opposition and while we doubt the insanity plea we think society will be just a little better off if this son of immor ality is kept in close confinement. As They Think Of Us Abroad There is yet uncertainty about the outcome of the Mexican sit uation, but with all the rapidly changing prospects there is much encouragement that the policy of the Administration at Wash ington will win, and that some plan will be adopted that will tend to bring about peace in that long distressed country. But whatever else may come, there certainly has been a change of European sentiment regarding the attitude of this country, and that change is to our credit and is due principally to the fact that we have a policy and have taken a definite and rather determined stand con cerning some of the things es sential to be done in Mexico be fore there can be any hope for peace. Until President Wilson seri ously turned his attention to affairs in Mexico, we were mere ly drifting and apparently un able either to direct or to influ ence the course of events. Chaos continuously threatened down there, ami apparently we could not lift a hand to prevent it. Our attitude was one that com manded little or no respect abroad. We now have assurance that the positive stand taken by this Government is meeting with ap preciation on the part of the most powerful foreign interests, and, as a result of that, pressure is brought to bear in Mexico to induce the favorable considera tion of that which the Govern ment at Washington proposes. This attitude goes a consider able way toward winning suc cess for the Wilson policy. It, is the victory for peace through the agency of diplomacy half won at least, and that without abandoning the high moral ground that the Wilson Admin istration has assumed from the fir.st with regard to Huerta's in cumbency. A straightforward declaration of principle and American manliness have been the chief factors in winning commendation, and the chances are that they have won respect in Mexico as elsewhere. Tele gram. The politicians certainly got their dope mixed when they told us that President Huerta would not receive L,ind, and that the Mikado was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Diaz in order to frame up a treaty with Mexico so that Japan could in vade that country and help lick Uncle Samuel. The facts are just the other way. Huerta fell on Lind's neck as though he was his long-lost brother, and wept tears of joy down his back as long as the son of Scandia would stand for the moisture; and the Mikado sent Ambassador Diaz word that Japan was not in a hurry about the package of gratitude he was bringing over, and gently but (irmly intimated that it was the Mikado's busy season, and that he would there fore not have time to see him. The result is that Diaz "turned around and walked the other way." Capital Journal. WHY NOT SPEND August At (let nwtiy from the heat Htul (hint of the vulloy.

Spreckels Sayt Faith In Fair Directors Shaken Dissatisfied with the directors of the Panama-Pacific exposition, and believing that they are all for big business, against the peo ple's interests in several ways and not properly representing San Francisco before the world, Rudolph Spreckels has written to the directors, requesting that they cancel his subscription of $25,000 in exposition bonds and give to some worthy charity the $2500 he has already paid. Spreckels is particularly in censed over the failure of the di rectors to come out in favor of municipal ownership of the street railways and to help in the fitfht for the proposed extensions. The plans are to aid the exposition transportation. The directors are taking what they call a "neu tral" attitude. "They are im bued with the idea of getting all possible for the corporations," said Spreckels, Wednesday, "and are not for the people's interests. They are not the proper custodi ans of this enterprise." Spreckels declares that his sub scription was in a certain form which required obligations on the part of the directors as well as himself, and that he cannot be held to it. The issue will be joined when the time falls due to collect the next installment. Daily News. NEWS FROM COUNTY SEAT Court House Notes.

Ask any one to draw u representa tion of a watch face with Komun numbers and you will have plenty of evidence of the unreliability of incidental memory. Of SJ00 persons examined only eight omitted the VI from their drawing of the watch face, and only twenty-one put 1 1 1 1 instead of the more familiar nota tion, IV. From this it would ap pear that impeachment of a witness because of his inability to report some incidental feature of an event or scene is not psychologically justi fied. Case and Comment. " Hoosit.'' A Chicago lady had a Swedish 200k, and she heard this conversa tion between her cook and the maid next door, also a Swede. "How arc you, Hilda?" "I well. I like my job. We got cremated cellar, cemetery plumbing, clastic lights and a hoosit." "What's a hotHit, Hilda?" "Oh, a bell rings. You put a thing to your ear and say, 'Hello and some says 'Hello,' and you sav Hoosit.' "Montreal Ileraid. Origin of the Word Filibuster. The name "buccaneer" was chief -r affected by the English adventur ers on our coast, while the French members of the profession often preferred the name of "flibusticr." This word, which has since been corrupted into our familiar "fili buster." is said to have been origi nally a corruption, being nothing more than the French method of pronouncing the word "freeboot ers," which title had long been used for independent robbers.
