AN AMERICAN COTTON BALE

There has been so much denuncia-
ton of American cotton bales, and
their horrors have been so often por-
trayed in photographs contrasting
them with the Egyptian and Indian
bales, that it is surprising to learn that
there is an American bale on the mar
ket which ELECTS the warmest admira-
ton of an English cotton manufacture
er. 1t must be admitted that this
new bale is not yet in universal use,
but for a long time our cotton grow
ers deluded themselves with the no.
ton that If their product reached for
eign markets loaded with water and
dirt they were enriched thereby. After
many years of hammering some of
them have discovered that the simple
minded European manufacturer does
not pay cotton prices for water and
dirt, and he doesn't pay for the cot
ton he doesn't get, the cotton that has
been pulled from the bales through
the holes in the bagging. OF the new

1t is a joy and comfort to know that

tear the slightest discomfort If she will
fortify herself with the wellknown and

This is a most grateful, penetrating, ex-
ternal application that at once softens and
makes plant the abdominal muscles and

nausea, discomfort, sleepessness and dread
that so often leave their impress upon the

stress can not be laid upon the remarkable
influence which mothers happy, prenatal

will be dangerous for us to address
even as friends people who will fight
only for pillage.
In brief, the American ambassador
to Mexico appears at Washington to-
day not so much as a representative
of the United States in a sorely affiict-
ed nation as a sort of underwater of
a tyranny having its origin in secret
murder and holding place desperately
by the subversion of liberty and law.
He can see nothing in the situation in
Mexico but Huerta, nothing in the sit
uation in the United States but neces-
sity for the recognition of Huerta, and
no hope for peace or property except
in Huerta, sustained in his behalf
alone.
We believe that this ambassadors
sentiments as expressed officially and
unofficially explain many of the things
that have happened in Mexico in the
last six months, but in a way different
from that intended. They reveal him
as a champion Of revolution. They
confirm the reports of last winter that
he was secretly on friendly terms with
Diaz and Huerta. They show that.
however his credentials may read, he
imagines that he is accredited not to
nation but to conspiracy.
The State Department has several
vexatious complications in hand. The
worst of these and the one to be dis
posed of most easily is that which be-
gan and should end with Henry Lane
Wilson. The Dixon shooting at Juarez
! only emphasizes the need of having in
Mexico a representative of the Ameri-
can government more concerned with
the protection of American citizens
than with the success of a murderous
tyranny.

has a Mexican policy of his own di-
rectly in conflict with that of the State
Department. He speaks of the ignor.
ance that prevails at our capital. He
criticises the secretary of state. He
says what can be done and what can
not in the way of mediation and inter-

On the other hand, although an eX-
IRENE partisan of Gen. Huerta the die
tator, he assals Mexicans of all
classes. The people will not fight for
liberty and national honor, he says;
they must be enticed by promises of
pillage. The men in arms against

bandits, robbers and murderers.
