THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT.

1t was just like Wilson, who once taught psychol-
ogy and political economy to get nsulted at Huerta
just at the right time to capture enough field guns
to equip dozen batteries, and then prove by the
written book that Mexico and the United States are
not at war.
Who is behind IIuerta with money and en-
enlargement, we know not. Maybe there is nobody.
Whether he deliberately sought to embroil this
country in a war to circuvent the triumphant Reb-
els to the north of Mexico City by ralying national
sentiment to his support in the face of an alien fOe
or whether like ourselves he is somewhat the
creature Of circumstances in this affair." is equally
, subject of conjecture only
Of one thing We are certain Mr. Wilson has ex-
hibited statesmanlke poise While his trusted
agents were in Mexico acquiring facts, which are
the only raw material Mr. Wilson ever uses in his
mental processes, he has cleared the situation of all
possible foreign complications While refusing to
recognize the claims Of the monster Huerta. he has
attempted, with what success we know not to con-
country in war to circumvent the triumphant Reb-
vince the Constituencies that we seek nothing
further than to lend neighborly hand where most
sorely needed; and now that the crisis has come
we find him striking squarely blow that will Grip
pie the defense of Huerta. if the worst comes and
convince the people of Mexico that the smiling face
of Uncle Sam is neither guileless nor the sign of
habby muscular system.
Technically it is a peculiar situation we are in
We are not fighting Mexico-at least. We think we
are not. We are going after Huerta but if Huerta
turns out to be Mexico after all, why then we are
IN for fight. If some kindly Intervention of prov-
dence should suddenly eliminate Huerta before
events press further toward their fu6Ument from
Vera Cruz to the Capital there might be an end
to the situation that developed almost before our
astonishment and perplexity over conditions had
chance to give way to indignation at national
affront
We would be on hand to see new administration
started with the proper understanding in Mexico
In that event; and it is thing to be desired; for

HERE S A GENTLE TIP TO
TOBACCO GROWERS.

1t is claimed by many experienced tobacco men
that loose leaf tobacco warehouses will do more to
control the acreage than any other method or ar
gument. The reason is plain. Tobacco is supposed
to sell for its actual value the loose leaf floor
Good tobacco brings good prices and the weed that
is poor in quality is almost certain to bring the
grower poor price. AS the growers real
lie that they can not longer depend on the extra
fine crops of neighbors to boost the price of their
poor crops, they, too, will pay more attention to
quality and less attention to quantity with the re-
suit that an average crop will be grown the buyer
will be better satisfied and the grower will realize
a higher price than he has ever before received
