uUGH on inc WOOL MEN

Considering all the fiery protest
against tariff revision that would
lower the price of wool, and the
wool market of the first a fol-
lowing such revision. the laugh is
on the wool men. But it is a pleas.
ant laugh, as indicated by the fact
that one wool grower has contract
ed to deliver 10000 pounds this
year at 1874 cents, as against. the
l03 he received for last years clip.
There is the merry jingle of gold
in this pleasantly which we assume
the wool man appreciates.
1t is entirely unnecessary to 90
over the arguments advanced by
the depressed producers of wool by
which they made it clear to every
one prone to believe in government
favored industry that free wool
spelled disaster. The l3s cents
against lOa cents of a year ago is
a fit and decisive answer.
There is hope-more than that
there is belief in the further
demonstration that the vitality oi
an industry does not depend on an
-
act of the Legislature.-Portland

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
MESSAGE

message on the Mexican situation:
Gentlemen of the Congress: 1t
is my duty to csll your attention to
a situation which has risen in our
dealing with Gen. Victoriana Huer-
ia at Mexico City, which calls for
action, to ask your advice and CO.
operation in acting OH it. On the
9th of April, a paymasttr of the
United States Steamship Dolphin
landed at the Iturbide bridge land
ing at Tampico, with a whale boat
and boats crew to take off certain
supplies needed by his ship and
while engaged in loading the boat,
was arrested by an officer and
squad Of men Of the army of Gen.
Huerta.
Neither the paymaster nor any
one of the boats crew was armed.
Two of the men were in the boat
when the arrest took place and
were obliged tn leave it and submit
to be taken into custody, notwith-
standing the fact that the boat car
ried, both at her bow and at her
stern the flag of the United States.
The officer who made the arrest
was proceeding up one of the
streets of the town with his pris-
nners when met by an officer of
higher authority, who ordered him
to return to the landing and await
orders, and within An hour and a
half from the time of the arrest,
orders were received from the
commander of the Huerlista forces
at Tampico for the release of the
paymaster and his men.
"The release was followed by
apologies from the military COM
mander Of the port.
THE incident cannot be regard
ed as a trivial one, especially as
two of the men were taken from
the boat itself--that is to say from
the territory Of the United States.
But, had it stood by itself it might
have been attributed TO the ignor-
ance or arrogance of a single Off
Ger. Unfortunately it was not an
isolated case.
"A series Of incidents has re-
Gently occurred which cannot but
create the impression that the
representatives of Gen. Huerta
we're willing to 60 out of their
way 10 show disregard for the dig
nifty and rights Of this government
and felt perfectly safe in doing
what they pleased, making free to
show in many way, their irritation
a I'd contempt.
"a few days after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from the Unit.
ed States battleship Minnesota was
arrested at Vera Cruz, while ashore
in uniform to obtain the ships
mail, and was for a time thrown in
jail. An official dispatch from this
government to its embassy at Mex
leo City was withheld by the u
thorities OF the %telegraphic service
until peremptorily demanded by
