Mr.. Lind's Handicap.

1t may not be Overwhelmingly en-
harrassing to the United States if the
established though unrecognized govern
ment at Mexico City refuses TO grant
Mr.. Lind any official status unless he
bears credentials that acknowledge the
existence of a de facto administration
of Mexican affairs. He goes to Mexico
City as an unofficial representative,
and as such he actually needs no ere
dentials. 1t is understood that his exact
status is that of legal adviser to the sec
rotary of embassy at the Mexican capital,
who is the sole accredited representative
Of this government there. But refusal
to acknowledge the existence OF Mr..
Lind. on the part Of the Huerta admin
istration, would nevertheless be calcu-
lated to lessen his effectiven SIS as a
mediator for mediation which seems
to be about the extent of his present
function. The suggestion that this may
occur is chiefly significant as a portent
of what may happen if the President
undertakes to send an ambassador to
Mexico without having first recognized
the Huerta administration or without
thereby extending official acknowledg-
ment of the existence and the presump-
at Mexico City. In truth, until Huerta
is succeeded by a president who estab-
fishes himself by something less drastic
than force or until he has purged him
self of his offenses by securing mandate
from the people at an honest and gener-
ally attended election, the United States
cannot name a representative at Mexico
City This is the awkward dilemma
which results from the original declara-
ton by this government expressive of its
dsapproval of the method whereby
Huerta acquired control Of Mexican af-
fairs, and the subsequent adherence to
that doctrine despite the development OF
an exceedingly practical reason for keep
ing the United states equipped to do
business effectively with the Mexican
government de facto. Mr.. Lind's embar-
easements resulting from his failure to
gain official footing in Mexico City will
be solely the result Of the precedent con-
ditions. and if his mission should fail of
success in consequence, such failure Will
not reflect in any wise upon his ability
or result from any specific lack of equip
ment for dealing with strange people
Speaking an unknown language.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-08-07

cago last year was the influence of the
south in the national convention. and one
OF the suggestions respecting the next
republican national convention relates to
the curtailment of that influence. The
proposition is that as the south contrib
utes no electoral votes TO the party S
ticket, she should not have the power 10
name the ticket Her representation in
upon the republican strength she is per-
mitted to exhibit on election day.
In the interest of the bull moose fac
ton Mr.. McHarg was assigned to the
task Of breaking up Mr. Taft's southern
support for Chicago. He began his work
months before the convention met. and
carried it on until the convention closed.
1t was a bold move. and its object was
publicly confessed. The instructions for
Mr.. Taft had been obtained in the regu-
lar way, and Mr.. McHarg undertook to
have them Cancelled in an irregular way.
What he and his employers thought
should not be used in Mr. Taft's behalf
they were striving to use in Mr.. Roose-
velts behalf.
The scheme failed. Not all the persua-
sion brought to bear on the southern
delegates, nor all the pressure brought
TO bear on the national committee in the
trial of contests, sufficed. Mr.. Taft re-
ceived in the convention the southern
support 10 which he was honestly en-
titled. and his nomination. as Mr.. Root
told him in his speech of notification,
was all right.
This record makes it inadNisable for
Mr.. McHarg to figure in any reunion
plans for 1916 in any prominent capacity
There may be work for him as nigh
private in the rear rank, and he should
be content with that.

The houses, of course. are built of wood. and are raised by means of jacks and levers on to low trucks.
