WILL HUERTA YIELD?
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.

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.

An Interesting Memory Test.
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.
