"We believe that this ambassadors sentiments as expressed officially and unofficially explain many of tbe things! that have happened in Mexico In the! last six months, but In a way differ- 1 ent from that intended They reveal! him as a champion of revolution. They confirm the reports of last winter that he was secretly on friendly terms With Diaz and Huerta. They show that, however his credentials may read, he Imagines that he Is accredited accred-ited not to a nation but to a conspiracy. conspir-acy. The state department has several sev-eral vexatious complications in hand. The worst of these and the one to be disposed of most easily ig that which began and should end with Henry Lane Wilson The Dixon shooting at Juarez only emphasizes the need of having In Mexico a representative rep-resentative of the American government govern-ment more concerned with the protection protec-tion of American citizens than with the success of a murderous tyranny From the Boston Transcript "Ho hao f orfel 1 ar hlo riohi In he trusted. He has been guilty In the I past of what have been regarded as blazing indiscretions.' but the nearer home he gets the more these seem to be magnified PerhapB we ar not yet fully aware of the extent of them Whether he personally approves ap-proves the attitude of the government or whether he does not, makes no difference dif-ference with respect to his duty In the matter As long as he continues to be an Intermediary' he should observe ob-serve the proprieties of one and reserve re-serve what he has to say for the head of the government to which he Is responsible re-sponsible The public has long suspected sus-pected that he had overstayed his usefulness.
