him.
He has no thought of returning home.
and there is no suggestion in Mexico of

was a long day. and glorious for Mexico.
Under his guidance-call it what you
will-the country made the only notable
strides she ever has made in the path of
real progress.
He was highhanded, but his was a
strong hand. He vas called president,
and was as much Of a president as his

voice Of the people was the voice of Diaz
There was no such thing as going behind
his elections returns.
At last, age having overtaken him. he
lost his grip. Younger men asserted them
selves, and he was driven away. His
great services were forgotten, and /. was
exile for him.
The new order came forward with
trumpets blowing. What had taken place
was proclaimed as the spontaneous action
Of men who had outgrown leading strings
and were competent for. and would have.
a voice in their own affairs. Henceforth
the government must be the product of
and represent the plain people.
We now know that the overthrow of
Diaz was accomplished by the most
sordid means: that Madero was wholly
taken. and that his end, though abhor-
rent and pathetic, might have been fore
seen.
Revolutions do not 60 backward. But
this saying is based upon the proposition
that they usher in improvement. Not so

pitiable that the world-and no portion

looks on with sympathy.
While Mexico will not return to Diaz,
she must, for her own good. return to

While on the subject Of the guard re-

larger part of the able-bodied young men
Of Washington. as well as the rest of the
country, do not take service in the
guard. That they do not is a national
reproach. When militia companies were
social and festal clubs, performing no
other military work than an occasional
short dress parade. military service was
popular with the so-called best classes.
When the guard came down. or went up.
to the performance of duties expected of
soldiers, its popularity declined. In the
National Guard of the District of Column
bia are commands competently differed
and well equipped by the national gov
eminent for field service, which have
been in constant struggle to keep them
selves recruited to the minimum strength,
to fall below which is to be mustered out
or merged with some other command.
thereby losing identity.
Some Of the perplexities of the guard
would be corrected by adequate armory
facilities. The instinct Of young men is
to mix some of the social features with
their soldier work, and there is great diff
ficulty in doing this under present condi
tons in the guard.

Mexico and Mediation.

There is general agreement on two
points: D Mediation in itself is sooo
thing. and e. in the present case u
comes from d quarter entirely accepta-
bic to us Whenever the horrors OF war
can be honorably avoided that course
should be taken. and whenever advice
is in order it is welcomed most from
sources entirely friendly. The fnend-
ship OF Argentina. Brazil and Chile for
the United States is well established.
The business in hand is complex Moth
ing possible now can restore to lie
American citizens who have been muir
dered in Mexico. No lump sum of money
can altogether cover the property losses
that have been sustained. A salute to
the flag, though grudginsly given, would
IN way square things as to the incl
dent at Tampico.
The leading difficulty relates to the
future. What sort of government is to
succeed the present government in Mex
ico--for d government exists there-and
what sort of man is to be the -hief exec
utive? If Mexico is to remain Mexico
and that is the paramount American
proposition-what and who will best pro-
mote future workable good will between
that country and the United States?
If President Huerta consents to elin1i-
nation President Wilson will score. But
if President Huerta insists on naming
his successor. fresh difficulty for US
will be presented. For it is assumable
that Huerta's man in Office would be
under Huerta's influence; and that would
forecast trouble.
The United States has no candidate,
and should not under any circumstances
int ono Ii
not aspire TO become. the suzerain of
Mexico What We desire. both for the
MeNicans and ourselves. is orderly and
stable government in that country. re-
sponsible to the outside world for the
safety of foreigners residing within its
borders and their capital invested in it's
industries. And that. everybody under
stands, will not be easy of accomplish
ment.
For the moment the army and the
navy are left in a quandary. The navy
is now supreme at Vera Cruz, but the
army approaches. and when it lands
will take charge. When Gen. Funston
left Galveston he doubtless expected to
so at once into action and blaze a trail
for larger force to follow Now he
will so into camp, the marines and blue
jackets will return to their ships, and
Doth soldiers and sailors await develop
ments.
There are good reasons why these
peace efforts, now that they have been
inauGurated, should be pushed to results
with energy. Vera Cruz Is not an ideal
spot for camp of American soldiers at
this season of the year, and fighting
men on edge are injured by parleyings
and delays.

Better Understanding.
rom the Philsdeiphia Ledger.

The friendly offer Of mediation between
the United States and Mexico. rendered
by Chile. Argentina and Brazil and &C.
copied by President Wilson, may not Jus
tify confident expectations that 1t will
lead to an immediate settlement of the
existing difficulties, but whether 1t fails
or succeeds in the present affair 1t will
result in Il better understanding between
the United States and the three most
powerful South American republics. The
prevailing sentiment in South and Central
America is not friendly to the United
States: there is a feeling of distrust to-
ward us which the pan-American confer
ences and the visits of American diplo-
mats have entirely failed to remove. Me
diation. however. In the form suggested
by the South American powers implies a
genuine desire to promote better rela-
tionship and must involve mutual ex-
changes that should make for a clearer
appreciation on the part OF the me6ators
Of the fundamentally altruishc purposes
Of the American people and their govern
ment.
