THE MEXICAN INCoRRIGIBLE,
Milwaukee Sentinel.

Things continue to go from bad to
worse in Mexico Having elinehed his
position by assassination, Huerta has
further manifested his contempt for
the principle of legitimacy by clapping
in Jail his political opponents in the
national assembly, and win proceed to
organize and run a travesty on ma
tional election that will constitute a
deliberate affront to President Wilson's
stand for constitutionality.
Huerta has made it plain that for the
power and policy Of the United States
as represented by the Wilson admins
tration he does not care two straws.
The man seems to take grim pleasure
in ilouting our pedagogue president and
his pacifst state secretary from chau-
tauqua as a brace Of doctrinaires from
whom nothing worse is to be expected
than successive broadsides of moral
platitude and academic disapproval.
The Mexican political desperate is com
fortably aware of a much wider lati-
tude for insult aud lawless trembling
on every principle Of constitutionahsm
than if, instead of Wilson and Bryan,
be had, say, the old firm Of Roosevelt
and Root to deal with.
1t is very evident that Mr. Wilson S
treatment of what Punch's cartoonist
calls finger wagging, " has no effect
at all on Huerta, The more MIR. VIII
son wags his mildly eXpostulatory fore
finger at him, the worse he gets.
The president now goes so far as to
notify Huerta that he is not only
shocked but even deeply dis
tressed, So if the Mexican swash-
bucller has any bowels of compassion
at all, he will let up on Mr.. Wilson S
panied and exacerbated feelings
though, judging from his treatment of
Madero, one is afraid he hasn't.
The cold and bare fact seems to be
that Huerta has as much contempt for
MIR. Wilson'S mortal pressure" treat
ment., as Col Roosevelt expressed in
that prematurely published speech Of
his.
So the impression grows with every
step Of Huertas that those Americans
who fondly hope the United States will
get quit of this abominable and lament
able Mexican mess without interfering
with the strong hand will find they
have been dwelling in a FOOLS paradise.
There is one particularly comfortable
corollary of President Wilson morally
firm but physically forbearing policy:
if the United States is eventually
forced to take charge Of things in
Mexico, as it did in Cuba, it will be on
ly when the duty and necessity and
moral justification Of the step win be
SO plain as to disarm foreign and even
South American criticism and suspicion
of Interior designs,

THE government is wasting a lot of
money by sending out bulletins pre-
pared by the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics on the relation of retail prices to
the cost of living, showing advances
between the years 1890 and 1913. 1t is
of interest to note that the tables used
apply almost exclusively to products Of
the farm, which must be quite consol-
ing to the farmer Everybody knows
that farm products have speedily adj
vanced, because of short supply, and
because we are living better as a peo-
pie than ever before About the only
good accomplished by the bulletins is,
that they keep our hired help at Wash
ington busy, without reducing prices,
which might prove a public calamity.
