THE MEXICAN SITUATION.
President Wilson and Secre
tary Bryan have again made it
•plain to the Mexican ambassador
at Washington that the United
States will not follow England’s
example and recognize the Huer
ta government until Huerta and
his administration make a belter
showing of having established a
stable government.
The rebels against the Huerta
government—they are now known
as the “constitutionlists,” with
reasonable claim to that designa
tion-look a considerable step
toward success when (hey made
themselves -masters of the port
of Matamoras. This is a blow to
the prestige of the provisional
government readily recognizable.
Whatever may happen inland is
of comparatively little impor
tance with this demonstration.
The city of Matamoras is not
a metropolis; its population is
about 10,000; but its position as
a port of entry for foreign trade,,
for the importation of arms and
munitions of war, is controlling.
Held by (he Constitutionalists,
nothing in the power of the Fed
erals can prevent the avoidance
^■of the neutrality laws lo Ihe ad
vantage of Carranza.
One of the interesting phases
of the situation is the fart that
both the rebels and the Huerta
forces appeal' to be well supplied
with money and ammunition.
These funds, it is suspected, are'
supplied by opposing interests
that have more at stake than the
success or failure of any partic
ular individuals in the fight for
leadership.
The policy of the administra
tion at Washington in delaying
recognition of Huerta is confirm
ed as prudent by the latest de
velopments. The United Stales
•government is still faced with the
prospect of having a Mexican
problem on its hands, a problem
that holds promise of greater
trouble than the Cuban problem
or the Philippine problem.
Pugilism has inadvertently put
itself iitn the perilous class.
Literally speaking, the tariff
bill is having the lime of its life
in the Senate.
Every little war scare' has a
meaning of its own—generally
more armor plate.
Allies in the Balkans should
rub a little liniment on their
strained relations.
If Mr. Bryan has his way, the
secretary of war will become the
secretary of peace.
No doubt the baseball fans are
willing to give their share of the
rains to the farmers.
If airboals become as popular
as automobiles it may be neces
sary to foof the streets.
Japan seems to have become
quiet, but whether ominously or
discreetly i- not yet evident.
Still, no militant suffragette
has been ruthless enough to ex
plode a bomb filled with hatpins.
The women appointed by Gov.
Strong to these important posts
as guardians of its young are all
excellently capable of performing
the work that will devolve upon
them. Mrs. John G. Hcid, wife of
one of Juneau’s pioneer citizens
and able lawyer^,, was one of the
first while women in Juneau, and
she has always taken a leading
part in the work that falls with
in the sphere of her sex. Mrs. J.
Allison Bruner is the wife of a
well known Nome lawyer. Mrs.
'George C. Treat, wife of one of
the best known of Valdez’ mining
men, is a woman of talent who
has written excellent stories of
Alaskan history and life. Mrs.
Luther C. Hess is the wife of one
of the leading lawyers and min
ing' men of the Fairbanks district.
