MIDDLE COURSES AND IMME
DIATE RESULTS.
President Wilson was convin
ced, when lie decided upon the
course to lie pursued in dealing
with Mexico, that (lie best results
could he obtained by ignoring the
demands of the hotheads in this
country and the threats of the
Huerta followers in Mexico.
Events have suplied the full vin
dication of the wisdom of the
president’s policy.
War with Mexico is yet among
the possibilities, but if it comes
it will come only after every dip
lomatic resource lias been ex
hausted and when it is the result
of deliberate action, instead of
being born of passion and the re- J
sentmenl of real or fancied
wrongs.
.viiumr rnuiM'n ui v iiumt mu
isfaclory to those eager for im
mediate results. President Wil
son was accused of pursuing a
dilatory policy, of being' weak
kneed and vacillating. It was [ire
dieted that, his special represen
tative, former Oovernor John
Lind of Minnesota, would he re
fused an audience with Huerta,
might not he allowed to land on
Mexican soil and might even he
killed. The president evidently
knew Huerta’s refusal to treat,
Mr. Lind with courtesy would he
a confession of Huerta’s weak
ness. The president understood
that Huerta’s expressed desire to
“lick all creation" was simply an
appeal to the ignorance of the
Mexican moh and not intended for
•serious consideration at Wash
ington. The president realized
the difference between idealism,
Mexican and American, and the
cold facts.
Two courses were open to the
United Stales when Huerta seized
power and his predecessor was
so conveniently “relnoved." One
wa.s the traditional course of
European governments to accept
the accomplished fact with cyni
cal disregard of the manner of
its accomplishment, as London
and Berlin and Paris did. The
other was to refuse l<> ..pi
Huerta on any terms. As Wash
ington is not London, Berlin or
Haris, we look a middle course.
For the safely of American
and other foreign rosidenls in
the Mexican capital we accepted
Huerta as de facto ruler there,
hut 11> the sword only, and with
no ot her I it le. We were rest rain
ed ft.•ejecting Huerta outright
by the immediate exigency, and
because to have done so might
..impelled us to embark up
on an adventure of Mexican con
quest. We were restrained from
according Huerta any legal title
to power hy our aversion to rul
ers who have apparently waded
jn blood to a throne.
I lit ■ 11 I I ~ «M II C11 I'M > I I I II11 I II'
course, I lieu, was all llial was op
en |o President Wilson unless lie
wauled to plunge I lie country in
fo a conlliel wilh Mexico. In face
of inevitable criticism, lie look
’(lie! middle course and it lias so
far kept us mil of an armed in
tervention which would probably
develop into a war of eoiupiesl.
It has also kept our hands clean
of the faint of assassination. If
is a course that will he derided
by cynical European diplomats
and their American disciples. But
it will probably be for the best in
the end. Somelimes it requires
a higher degree of courage to
avoid war than il does lo invite
one. Pretsideul Wilson lias the
right kind of courage. If a war
comes, if will nol lie of his mak
ing.—Tacoma News.
MR. COMMON PEOPLE HAS HAD
ENOUGH.
There is plenty of evidence I hal
at last l lie people of I his coun
try are becoming utterly tired of
“blood-stained dividends,” lirod
of being smashed up on our loot
ed, drained, broken-backed rail
road system, tired of offering
their lives and limbs as sacri
fices to greed gone mad, tired of
furnishing at the expense of
manifold and needless perils the
extorted money that makes up
thdse huge railroad fortunes and
tired of being forever robbed and
slaughtered for the sake of pri
vate ai;t galleries, beautiful
yachts and useless palaces, tired
of being uncomplaining victims
of the limitless swindling insep
arable from the private ownership
of public highways. .
When at Stamford. Conn., June
12 occurred the thirteenth terri
ble accident in two years on the
New Haven railroad, all this sud
denly became manifest to the
dullest observer.
The whole trend of comment
th<>n showed that enlightenment
has come and with it such a de
mand for relief as will never
again lie silenced until I he rail
road revolution is achieved. It
was impossible, after this acci
dent, for the smug managers lo
pul over the usual trick of blam
ing the engineer. All thinking
men knew instantly that not I he
railroads underpaid and over
worked servants wen* responsi
ble for this slaughter but the cal
loused financial exploiters that
have brought this once great en
terprise lo wreck.
The blistering editorial in
which the New York World
brought the blame home, where
it belonged, although it would
have been impossible a year ago,
now struck the exact chord of
conviction in every reasonable
mind, a conviction that not all
the kept editors, press bureaus,
and pen valets in the world will
shake from Ibis time on.—F,x.
