Mr.. Wilson's Mexican Policy Should
Be Reduced to More lntellisible
Terms.

49, uos ro;obbor "The World" seems TO be
- ont,rs,astc over President Wilson's latest ex-
nsnatdon Of his Mexican policy--that when ne III
cornorated into his address at the navy yard cere

that If war in Mexico comes it will be war Oh

proval Is ito serve mankind" just as his STUBBORN
lnsistence until recently that there should DO ho

n he an equally laudable form Of humanitarian
service.
To those who have been trying to figure out wnat
the Presidents Mexican policy really is any MINT
from headquarters is helpful. The World maze
the most It could out Of the hint in the navy yard
speech when it remarked yesterday
we have gone down to Mexico" said Mr.. wilson,
10 serve mankind, If we can find out the way, anu
We doubt if there is a single human being IN the
United States who honestly believes that inc rie'i
dent has any other purpose
little indefinite and little enigmatlc, but sui
something The average American would think that
~ we undertook an intervention In Mexico II woulo
ne for the purpose Of dischargng our Responsiveness
under the Monroe Doctrine, Of protecting the lives
and nroperty of Americans and other Foreigners
domiciled In Mexico, or Of terminating condition
Of anarchy at our doors which had become insurer
able. as President Mckinley declared that the con-
5ition of anarchy in Cuba had become when we
undertook to expel Spain from that island IN 1898
Those are definite purposes having some relation
to our national duties and interests.
The trouble with Mr.. Wilson's declarations IN
regard to his Mexican programme is that they nave
not had any evident relation to either our natlonai
Or our international obligations. They have been
based on confusing and superficial phrases like "the
suzerainty Of moral inspiration and the service OF
mankind"
We should think 1t greatly to the public advan

much nainer terms "The World itself reduced 1t

more ago:
Not since the United States government under the
leadership Of Abraham Lincoln destroyed human

emancipation of the Mexican masses from a tyranny

a few handsl that is little better than slavery.
1t may not be clear that the United States has a
mission to go into the Latin-American states and
reform their landholding systems. But If the ad-
ntnistration thinks that 1t has why not put that
iown in black and white as part OF our tnterven-
ton policy? We might as well be frank about It
Il we are going to construe our efforts to serve
mankind" In Mexico so as TO include the award to

Book Shops.

Book shops are like saloons and milliners IN Lead
ing some kinds of people into extravaganza, Dut
they do not otherwise suggest bad habits. The
friends-human and humane-that one makes III
book shops represent valuable connections ana
often quite unexpected or course the second
hand book shop is infinitely more instructive and
interesting than that where novelties alone are dis
lust as the prices do. Ii is regretabe that Ameri-
can book shops are better than they are: 1t Is
because many American booksellers made a mistake
in their calling and ought TO be selling ribbons or
shoestrings.
The department store has cut deep into the field
and profits are diminished in the cities as result
but many book buyers infinitely prefer the smaller
shop and will buy there il the bookman has ntelli-
eence enough 10 deserve their trade. The opportI-
nity in smaller towns il very real one and has
been seized upon by all too few dealers. When will
these dealers learn that the socalled best sellers
represent relatively small part OF their possible
business and do justice to the admirable series OF
reprints that are In the market: the Temple
Classics" "the Worlds Classics" the "Everymans
Library" 'the Belle Lettres Series" and the rest?
Book shops have been the making of at least two
great writer's: Samuel johnson. in eighteenth cen
tury England and Anatole France. in the France Of
to-day The latter has given to book shops some
of the best scenes in his best books: from the
"Crime Of Sylvestre Bonard" down to his much
moro recent The Gods Are Thirsty"

The Presidents Speech at the Navy Yard.

The present is no time for carpng criticism OF
Mr. WILSON, He has been through most trying
period and the worst is probably still before him.
1t is the duty Of every American not to increase
wantonly the burden upon his shoulders
But q portion of his speech at the Brooklyn
navy yard so completely Inexperienced the coun-
trys attitude toward him that word OF comment
cannot be avoided Aside from the negligible at
tacks of Mr. Hearst. there have been no sneers AT
the President that we recall. TO the contrary
there mas been an almost universal expression OF
faith in his high motives Of belief in his desire 10
lead the country Alright. Seldom, we think has an!
country shown a fairer spirit toward its Cmef
Executive than have the American people toward
Mr. Wilson I'm his recent ordeal.
Criticism Of the wisdom of the Presidents poilcy
IS another matter. That has been frequent ana or
growing volume without regard to party lines or
personal alliances. If Mr. Wilson will only appre
ciate the good faith OF this criticism and come 10
regard It as so much reasoning to be considered
on its merits and in no a reflection upon his
motives he will remove one source of annoyance
and worry and will surely not be in any worse
position to form opinions and reach conclusions
To find sneers where intended IS as waste
full of nerves as 1t is perversive of judgment
