good by its war on Congressman
Sparkman over the postoffice APP
pointment. 1t seems to the Star,
and it probably seems the same way
TO many other people, that when a
paper praises a congressman in one
campaign for a statesman, and
abuses him the next for a chump.
simply and solely because he hasn't
suited il in a postoffice appointment,
the people are likely to consider it
inconsistent and an unsafe exponent
OF public. opinion. These postoff1ce
jobs are not OF any great import
ance to the public anyhow. AS long
as he receives his mail regularly, the
average man doesn't care con-
tinental who is postmaster, and the
private grievances of the defeated
candidates are wearisome to the pub
lie.

PREPARING FOR ANOTHER
WEEK OF PALAVER

According to Saturdays dispatch
es, mediation was all OF There was
nothing left for mediators and dele
gates but TO pack up and go home.
Sundays news told different
story. Ways and means have been
discovered OF harmonizing the con-
fiicting elements, so it is likely that
the parties 10 the conference will
have another pleasant week at Nag
ara. while the Mexican poems go on
can taxpayers go on paying the bills.
The reason probably is that the
Mexican delegates, who threatened to
quit If their demands were not grant
ed. were only bluffing. They are, or
should be, sufficiently well informed
to know that the best thing their
boss can do for himself is to comply
with American demands.
1t must be evident that mediators
and delegates are realizing that the
gentleman in the White House has
decided what they should do, and
they might as we'll do it, The medi-
ators probably thought they were
going to run things, and the Next
can delegates most likely thought
| they would be able to obtain at least
half what they asked for, so they
asked for about four times as
much as they had right to,
The Star hopes that Mr.. Wilson
has made up his mind on what he
wants the conference to do. 1t has
no doubt that he knows much bet
ter what is good for Mexico than
the mediators and all the conflict
| ing factions of Mexicans put to-
gether As for his honesty and dis
interedness, there is no comparison.
He didn't ask the mediators to
mediate, and there is no reason why
he should do anything he believes
is wrong to please them.
But after the Conference.-The?
The Star doubts very much that
Mexico will submit to any reason
or argument except the one of force.
