Huerta's Message.

The provisionary President of our
turbulent sister republic, Mexico, de-
spite all that has been told him and his
foreign secretary by Mr.. Lind, Presi-
dent Wilson's personal peace agent,
persists in his belief-or says that he
persists in it, which amounts to the
same thing in the end-thst the peo-
pie OF the United States and Presi-
dent Wilson are at odds as regards
the Mexican question and how it
should be dealt with. He has said so
in plain language to the Mexican Con-
gress last Tuesday.
The obvious implication should be
disclaimed officially and unhesitatingly.
But for the rest Hucrta's words were
far more temperate than was to be ex-
pected, considering that all the world
had been told that he is a fre-eater of
the worst kind, and not amenable to
anything like common sense and logic.
On the contrary, the tone of his mes
sage was surprisingly free from that
superheatcd language which so often
prevails in official Latin American ut
terances. His statement about the af-
fairs of his country were optimistic;
but they had to be, if he really has
any intention of becoming candidate
for the Presidency at next month S
election The only cloud that was
thrown over his self-satisfying dec
-4arations as to the state of the rebel
lion, was that the two States of Du-
Tango and Sonora remain entirely be-
yond Federal control.
The regret which Huerta expressed
at the failure of certain countries to
recognize his administration. and him
uss the constitutional President of Mex
leo, refers, of course, principally to the
United States, but to others as we'll
= For not one of the larger Latin
American States has thus far actually
recognized him. Huerta says that he
is surprised. And yet the Inference is
plain enough. Either those States
with which Mexico is united by ties
of blood and language and customs"
ihave been waiting upon the example OF
the United States. or they have reached
the same conclusion independently
which the United States has concern
sing his character and actions.
2 We add our hopes that Gen.
Huerta's optimistic forecast of speedy
and complete pacifcation of the coun-
try will be fulfilled. He seems intent
upon having the national elections held
next month, and Mexico's future will
, depend largely upon this election be-
ling held in manner that will warrant
respect for its result.
E The only threat, and that masked
one, contained in his message was the
Preference to our warships in Mexican
ports. But this we take to be mere
play for the gallery, for how can he
prevent any nation sending warships
to Mexico when their citizens demand
that protection which the Huerta gov
ernment is unable to render at present.

Consideration Of the Tavenner bill will.

Moreover. if seIf-goyernment is not TO

govern themselves obviously should be
permitted to determine the form of gov
eminent they desire, which would not be
possible under any Of the bills so far

careful consideration, both in the com

with a desire to deal fairly with the
District Of Columbia and the United

not offer the citizens of the District
a choice as to the form of self-govern-

says to the District; "we are going TO
let you govern yourselves whether you

you govern yourselves as we want you

"Highwayman's Logic"
This might well be characterized as
Judge Prouty himself characterized the
provision Of the Glass currency bill. which
requires national banks to become mem
sociations or forfeit their charters. Judge
House last week, characterized this pro-
vision as ''highwayman's logic"
This" he said. "is the exercise OF
highwaymans logic. He does not say
that you must deliver your property to
him. He just calmly says: You can
exercise your own wish in the matter:
you can deliver up your valuables to me
or be shot dead. Take your own free
choice"
The enactment OF the Tavenner bill
would at least give the people of the Dis
trict an opportunity TO say whether they
prefer to hand their valuables over vita
