THE MEXICAN MIDDLE
Reader Thinks Presidents Mistakes
Due to Bad Advice.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Judging from the newspaper re-
ports IL would appear that President Will
son has had some very poor advisers, and
the result Is the present muddle in Mex
leo, The first mistake our President made
was I'm not recognizing Huerta at the time
that h. was recognized by the various
foreign governments. That recognition
would have given him force In his own
country enabled him to finance his oper-
ations. and by this time the so-called re-
beliIon In Mexico would have been
quellcd.
do not see by what right We exercise
a censorship over the morals Of other
countries. To my knowledge II has not
been done by any other nation in inter
national difficulties. and our attempt TO
bring Il into play now has proved dis
astrous.
Another mistake am afraid our Presi-
dent has made is. II the press quotes him
correctly. exacting from Huerta the prom

10 see what right any government or any
individual has 20 make n demand OF that
character. and Ifuerta very Justly declined

dent Wilson in rather an embarrassing
position. The very making of the request
itself will popularize Huerta among his
own people, and will make him all the
more determined 20 become a candidate.
lie will probably be elected. and then what
will Mr.. Wilson do? lie will be compelled
10 recognize lIuerta. whether he wishes 10
do so or not. II there is any reason that
justifies our President IN making what
appears TO be most unjust demand on
Huerta the American people are not aware
Of II.
The situation at the present time is 4
very strained one and, from the Mexican
point of view full Of dramatic possibili-
ties. venture TO make the prediction
that Huerta will within very short time
resign I'm favor OF the younger Diaz and Will
appoint General Trevino or General Blan-
quette his Minister OF War and bde his
time until October. become a candidate
for election. and by thus martyrizinG
himself he will make himself the idol Of
the Mexican people. All this would have
been avoided II Mr.. Wilson had in tho
beginning recognized Huerta. T.. c. I.

In the Mire of Spells.

The nomination Of Henry Morgenthau to be Am
bassador to Turkey detaches W. ". Rockhill from
the diplomatic service. There are few people who
could have thought when President Wilson was
inaugurated that any concessions which he might
make to the clamor for spoils in foreign appoint
ments would involve the retirement Of a diplomat
Of Mr. Rockhill's capacity.
Mr.. RockhilIs career has been an inspiration to
the young men who In recent years have accepted
the governments partial promise to develop diplo-
matte establishment Of fixed tenure in which pro-
motions should be made on merit. He began as
second secretary Of legation at Picking Twenty-Five
years ago and with the exception of four years OF
exploring work IN China under the direction OF the
Smithsonian Institution he has been continuously
employed sprA then in diplomatic work. lie has

MORE KIND WORDS.
Finds The Tribune as Welcome as
Old Friends Letter.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune comes TO my door
every morning. and | enjoy Il almost as
much as ] do letter from some old
friend | cannot quite locate the one
feature that hits me this way. The page
width and formal have something 70 do
with il. Then. the paper is beautifully
legible-lots of leading. and the spacing
IS expert. Another feature is the color
OF tine paper. Why do newspaper publish
ors insist on using the blue-white, corpse
color that so many OF them affect? The
warm. creamy tint Of The Tribune is a
relief. And let me tell you that good
many years experience in both the news
paper and the advertising world impcl
me to the belief that this little matter
of the color Of paper has good deal to
do with popularity. II surely has with
me.
Your stand on the square deal In advcr-
Using is warm breath from the sunny
South, and. | believe. a winner. Another
feature is your blackboard demonstration
of model advertisements. Both of these
specialtics are alive with the spirit u
the times.
Editorially the paper is as blithe. as a
boy and as sane as a sage Readable
and. thank the gods OF humor. full Of
wit. with little nonsense to pepper the
whole.
You are TO be congratulated.

BULGARIAN MISDEEDS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.

Mr.. Gamboa Beats About the Bush.

The supplementary note of the Mexican Secretary
for Foreign Affairs which has inspired Mr.. Lind
with renewed optimism, is adrot essay at beating
about the bush. 1t makes brave showing Oh
ANALYTICAL rehearsal of the American contentious
ms if to say. Now me knock them into cooked
hat: and then verbosely avoids the performance OF
that trick as completely though it had never been
suggested.
II WAS easy to use many words in arguing that the
Mexican constitution fOrbds an acting President 10
be elected President and that therefore Mr. Wilson =
suggestion that General Huerta should not seek cleo
ton was superfuous. But why not simply say In
a dozen words that General IIuerta is not aud Will
not he a candidate: Why beat about the bush with
out really saying anything?
II sounds WELL no doubt. and may fire the MeXi-
can mind to say that Mexico cannot permit the
United States to advise her in domestic affairs. be
cause that would be to forego her sovereignty. But
we should like to know, then, what has become or
the sovereignty of many other countries which have
accepted and acted upon neighbory advice. They
really seem to be enjoying pretty complete degree
of independent sovereignty, in spite of what Mr.
Gamboa is pleased to consider an "enormity"
The Mexican Secretary repeatedly affirms that
General IIuerta is beyond challenge the consttu-
tional ad interim President of Mexico but he makes
no attempt even. TO explain the fitness of bombard
ment and assassination constitutional methods
of procedure. In brief. he says much that Is not
TO the point and then avoids the real points at issue
with expert dexterity.
Nevertheless there is ground for Mr. Lnds OPP
timism in Mr.. Gamboas unqualified expression OF
hope more than ever for an immediate solution OF
the conflict" and his belief that I'VE are really In
the way of arriving AT an arrangement equally
dicniied for both sides" In that hope the Ameri-
can people will join the more heartily because the
very characteristics of Mr. Gamboas note to which
we have referred seem to indicate an inclination TO
relinouish untenable grounds and to accept even
with profuse proestaons to the contrary the coun-
sells of dsinteresed friendship.

THE VANISHING r."
Why DR.. Holmes Changed a Poem
for Posterity.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: was much Interested last Sunday
In your comments on THE Vanishing r.
for a special reason. Before the latest
edition OF the poems OF oliver Wendell
Holmes was published In 1891, the genial
doctor went over the mass OF material
that had accumulated In a long lifetime
to put It in a form in which he was will
ing to leave 1t to posterity. In this work
he availed himself OF the advice OF his
many literary and critical friends-happily
little was suppressed and few alterations
were made.
One change was made however, which
gave rise a little later to discussion. This
was the substitution of line In THE
Last Leaf" One stanza had read:
But now he walks the streets,
And looks at all he meets.
All forlorn.
And he shakes his feeble head
That II seems as II. he said
They are gone"
In the new version the third line reads:
Sad and wan"
Soon there was n discussion In the news
papers as to the wisdoH Of the change.
