Most ABSURD OF ALI.

1sl The proposal of the A B C me
diators (Argentine, Brazil and Chile
that President Wilson accept gen
eral election in Mexico, instead OF
insisting that Huerta retire, is the
height of absurdity.
An election in Mexico always has
been mockery, but even that term
fails to describe any attempt that
could now be made to hold an elec-
ton.
1t is proposed that there be a guar
antee of fairness of the election that
is proposed, but such an election could
not be secured even with half mil
hon American soldiers to guard the
polls, and anything short of that
would be burlesque.
The Mexican people are so COM
pletely under subsection of military
rule that they simply cannot restore
stable government without outside in
f1uence, and the United States can
Tot afford to withhold its good of
fees, even though they must be
forced on the sister republic.
If the mediators can find no bet
ter proposal than this, they must
find their usefulness ended.

Perhaps if an "Uncle Toms Cabin"
had been written years ago of Mexi-

grudges of years standing and to
bitter recollections of cruelty and in

Editorial Opinion
FNGLAND AND TME BOER.

From the Manchester Union.
There is one incident of the great
war that is cause ior qualification,
and that is the spirit shown by the
Beers, who only a few years ago
were so bitterly and stubbornly op-
posed to England and .'s policy. The
present attitude of the Beers in South
Africa is splendid vindication of the
broadminded and humane course
adopted by the liberal government in
England towards the peoples Of the
vanquished South African republics.
The British imperialists were aghast
at the folly OF such treatment of men
who were not only fresh from the
carrying on of war that had
/ strained the resources Of the empire,
put had been lifelong enemies of the
British power and British influence
