WHAT WILL MEDIATION gFEEcrY

The mediators' plan of composing the
differences between the Mexican fac
tons before undertaking to arrange sat
isfaction Of American demands, the Ore
CONAN thinks has miscarried, owing to
the refusal OF Carranza and villa to
participate. The Constitutionalist chiefs
see In Huerta simply a murderer. in
his quarrel with the United States
merely scheme to rally the people to
his failing cause. and In the move for
an armistice pending mediation a trick
to gain time for Huerta to recruit his
forces They reason that they ''have
got him going and that their best pol
Icy is to keep him going: that they
would gain nothing by an armistice,
while he would gain time to recover
himself.
In contrast with the caution of the
Constitutionalists not to be beguiled
into concessions to Huerta is the
course OF the Wilson administration.
II the mediators were empowered to ad-
just all our points of disagreement with
Huerta. Mr.. Wilson could not well re-
ject their good offices. but the refus-
al of Carranza to accept their aid has
rendered them practically worthless to
us. While South American diplomacy
follows its leisurely course. Villa will
keep hammering away at the Federals
until he may eliminate Huerta by force
before the mediators have done so by
diplomacy. Practically no subject of
mediation remains except the insult to
our flag. That Is hardly a subject for
mediation. 1t is equivalent to slap
In the face. for which satisfaction can
take the form only of an Apologize

down blow. But Mr.. Wilson seems will
ing to negotiate about anything, even
an insult to the nation.
| Were the mediators to go about their
work In business-lke manner they
could adjust the matter in a week. but
they are likely. after the fashion of
diplomats, TO stretch II over months.
While they are doing so. Huerta is
mining railroads, terrifying his capital,
making dynamite bombs. recruiting ar
mics on the pretense that they are to
repel the invaders and then sending
them against the rebels. He has gain
ed that inestimable boon. time, for
doing all these things. while our forces

PRAISE FOR sUPT. WILSON,.


The last issue of the OKianoma La
Dor Unit, the official publication Of the
State Federation of Labor, has the fol-
lowing to say Of State Supt. r. H.
Wilson:
in some future time the politicians
OF our state and nation will have been
forgotten-but in all the centuries
that have been and will be, there will
be instilled in the minds of men heart
felt gratitude for the statesmen and
educators whose records bear out the
fact Of their untiring efforts in behalf
Of all men. A real representative Of
all the people must not and will not
show religious, political or social par
tiality. II the representatives and ed
ucators Of Oklahoma will carry out and
fulfill the obligation that is due the
school children, they will have accom-
plished only the ideal and greatest
ambition of our present state superin-
tendent, Mr.. R. H. Wilson
"Mr. Wilson's plea is for the on-com-
ing generation-if you fulfill your obli-
CATION due the school children of the
state-to yourself as a voter-you will
see that your ballot is marked for R.

ed them successfully by applying Dem

Our Republican friends stoutly in
sist that Woodrow Wilson and his ad-
ministration are not on trial in Okla

body with grain Of gumption knows
that Judge Williams spoke the abso-
lutte truth when he said, IF the Repub-
licans should carry this state, they
would herald it throughout the nation
as the beginning OF the end of Dem
ocratic administration. 1t would be
interpreted from coast to coast as a
Reputation of the administration, and
properly SO, because the fellows who
are fighting r. L. Williams in this

JUST PLAIN FALsEHooD.

Since the primary in August, John
Fields and his campaign committee
have made a series of attacks on the
Democratic state government. The
charges have varied only according to
the supposed credulity of the audi
ences to which they were made. There
has been charges as to the state debts
which were proven untrue by the gov
ernor, the state auditor and the state
examiner, the records being published
in each case. Mr.. Fields nor any of
his crew ever took occasion to cor
rect the original charge. In no in
stance has as pecific charge been made
that has not been answered and the
record shown to prove the Democratic
asserf'1.l.
Tie campaign of Fields has been one
OF falsehood. His citizenship may in
spire one to the idea that he was mis-
informed, but he should have known
the record before making such wild
statements He should not have gone
forth on the statements of the politi-
cal buccaneers who nominated him
to maintain his standing in the state,
Fields should have ascertained wheth-
or the charges he made we're true or
not before he made them.
In the last lap OF the campaign
Fields is telling the people the same
refuted stories. He is making the
same charges, save that he has grown
