To the Editor of THE TIMES:
i have Just read your able editorial
entitled "Huerta's Acceptance re-
ferring to the proposed "A. B. C." me-
diation.
You say in substance that We can
not afford to wait, for the attempt to
mediate may fail and then we shall
have to fight a united Mexico at far
greater expense Of blood and treasure
But Is this sure? II Huerta refuses to
mediate, then all Latin America must
resent it, and Huerta win be greatly
weakened as a fighting force at home
! by the development of factional di-
| vision, and In all the outside world by
demonstrating that personal SELFISH
ness and not patriotism is his con-
trolling motive.
Meanwhile the constitutionalists are
growing constantly stronger and will
be concentrated near the City Of Mex
ico-perhaps will be in possession OF
the capital and so practically Of the
country.
All Americans and other foreigners
will be out Of the country who do not
elect to stay at their peril. We are
already in possession OF Vera Cruz, and
until we have collected all the apollo
gies We shall need for many years. All
claims for damages to property must
abide the restoration OF order and
done sooner by the Mexicans than by
us-if we attempt It now. Then why
not let them fight il they want to

They hate us. We gave them their

The United States is the only true
friend Mexico ever had among the
nations which has or which really

THE DEMORALlZINC TIP.

It's rather useless to discuss the
tip. Everybody Knows it is wrong,
and everybody gives it, except those
who receive it. The California rail-
road commission is ordering the
Pullman company to pay reasonable
wages to porters in that State. 1t
finds that they get $3.50 a month,
and must extract the rest from the
public. As result, women get little
attention, though they need most, be-
cause the men are the more liberal
spenders. The employees are charged,
too, with mean little blackmailing
practices, designed to command fees
as tn, price of Immunity. Every
body, for example, is familiar with
the theory that dollar bill placed
rightly will always produce lower
berth, even though there may be
triple plated assurance from all Off
cial authority that every lower il
sold. Tho public pays enough to b1

Cadets Ask Credit for
Time Spent at Drills

Members OF the High School cadet
regiment. who are also members OF the
District national guard, have asked the
heads OF the various schools to arrange
for credit in their studies for time lost
on account of war preparations going
on in the volunteer and regular regi-
ments.
Principal Emory Wilson. OF Central
High School has been asked to take up
the cases of Peter w. McKierman,
bugler of Company A, and j. Parker
Simpson, major OF the high school reg
iment. with the superintendent of
schools and the Board OF Education.
News has reached here that Harold
ID. McCalmont, a former student OF the
Washington public schools, was the
bugle rat Vera CRUZ when the Stars
and Stripes were hoisted over the pris-
on at that port. McCalmont's parents
live at 3oI * street northwest. He en-
listed In the Marine Corps in 1al1.

The fifteen-minute survey OF the
hull of Resolutc allowed to the
yachting reporters, as she stood IN
the cradle in the Herreshoff shop be-
fore her launching, was long enough
to show to the best judges among
them that the Bristol designer had
turned out a model in which botn
beauty and conservatism had been
thrust away from consideration.
She has so little sheer that she
locks as if she were hogged; her
overhangs, both forward and aft, are
both SO moderate that they appear
to be unusually short, the stern beng
cut off at a point which would not
seem to be its natural place to end,
Judged by its beginning at the stern
post. And in place of the hard
turned bilges of most modern cup de-
tenders, Resolute appears to have an
easy curve to the midship section
which may be as deceptive as most
of her other apparent features.
Resolute is built to sail under the
universal rule and to take every ad-
vantage of it. And in respect OF this
quality she is on the same unhappy
plane as Nicholson's Shamrock w.

RACE PREJUDICE ADDS TO
MEXICAN TROUBLE.

The old difficulties of race antag-
onisms and race prejudice creep with
unfailing assurance into our relations
with Mexico. Disguise it as we VIII,
the Dlain fact is that we have little
5ffection and less respect for the
Mexican people, and we reveal these
deficiencies in pretty much every
thing we do or say.
In the course of debate In the
House on Monday, Congressman
Kert of California offered some lllu-
minating comment on our attitude
and that of the uppcr-class Mexicans
toward the common people OF the
country. Incidentally, he expressed
his own views as to these upper
classes, drawing on his experience
and observation while a resident OF
! Mexico to give them point. he SAID:

Musicals for Blind Here.

IT is my privilege to answer thou
sands of such questions. to suggest,
encourage and help. by letter or con-
versation, hopeless folks with sight
less eyes. Everybody in Washington
knows of the Library of Congress
musicals for the District blind.
The best musical anu reading tai
ent in the city is placed at our dis
posal for use in these programs. The
Department of Agriculture is send
ing to us every week. great boxes
OF roses, which are given oH to the
blind attendants at the Tuesday
evening musicals.
I love my blind and their cause;
they know me as the champion of
their rights and the defender of
their dignity. You know. some per-
sons do not know that the blind are
neither geniuses nor freaks, nor de-
fectives. The strange ignorance ex-
lists in the minds OF the people as to
what the blind can do. Some people
are amazed that a blind person can
write on the typewriter or know
when the sun is shining. But they
are ready to believe that the blind
have a special stock of senses to re-
place loss of sight.
This is not the truth. 1t is a fic-
ton that has it's origin in ignor-
ance. and in this ignorance the
blind discovers the most formidable
obstacle In the way to usefulness
and independence. Left without in
telligent help, the blind man or wom-
an lives in a night of thwarted in
stincts and shackled ambitions. Civ
