City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, JUNE 3, 1915.
After all the lung season of watchful
and hopeful waiting for the troubles
in Mexico to adjust themselves to
something approximating normal con
ditions, it seems that our cautious
administration has Anally become con
vinced that paternalism in the shape of
a good thrashing is the only thins that
will help the Mexicans to a satisfac
tory solution of their troubles, at least
insofar as Uncle Sam's view of what
constitutes a satisfactory solution is
concerned.
Whether that view fill meet the
favor of the Mexicans themselves is a
different matter and the answer will
in all probability he found to be de
cidedly negative. The sunkisxed sons
of manana land have doubtless long
since become quite well used to the
disturbed conditions of which the U. S.
A. complains and are probably quite
willing to continue in their wonted
round of scrapping once in a while 'or
the sake of the easy living it affords
them while waiting for the enemy to
put in an appearance. The interven
tion of the United States will spoil the
only really good time the average
Mexican peon has ever enjoyed since
an unkind fate wafted him into this
of tears to suffer ? flcr :•
weight of conditions of the most in
hibitive nature: to a life of thankless
and unending and hopeless drudgery
from which there is no escape, save
that the victim shake the dust of this]
mundane sphere from off his feet and
depart for the celestial hinterland. To
him the war is but a relief from a life
of servitude and suffering, generally
speaking, and the advent of Uncle
Sam will upset the prospect complete
ly, hence it is more than probable that
he will offer right strenuous objection
to accepting the views of ids paternal
uncle of the north, however kindly
may be the intent in thrusting those
views down the resisting patients'
throat.
With Italy and Russia already
flinging I heir legions against her and
with the imminent prospect that
Rumania and Bulgaria will shortly
add their war scarred bntallions to the
mighty host of foes ready to tear at
the foundations of her national exis
tence. Austria seems to he facing a
prospect so pregnant with possibili
ties of disaster that one shudders to
think of the possible consequences of
that first, seemingly Inconsequential,
act involving the punishment of Serbia
for the assassination of the Austrian
heir apparent, by which that nation
brought down mam itself this mighty
avalanche of foes which now threatens
to overwhelm and destroy the ver>
fabric of that powerful government
Beset on nearly every side hv an
almost countless host of foes half of
whom are animated with a desire for
conquest backed by a long cherished
hatred, born of centuries of Austrian
usurpation, and the remainder belong
ing to a nation which recognizes in
Austria the principal stumbling block
to Its dreams of national expansion,
there seems but one Inevitable end
and that, one which it seems doubtful
can l'e avoided even with the aid of
her powerful ally on the north.
There are many Indications that
without the aid of the martial spirited
and wonderfully organized hntalllons
of Germany, Austria would long ago
have been driven to the extreme limit
of endurance and been compelled to
ihumble herself before the overwhelm
ing hordes of Russia In order to save
final annihilation. Vow that she Is
douhly. even trebly, threatened by the
probable entrv of the remaining Bal
kan States. It would seem that the
Dual Monarchy Is facing the hour of
fate and the prophecy of olden dsvs
concerning "TTe who lives by the
sword" Is about to witness a modern
confirmation.

NOTES
(From l>ur Exchanges.!
The Knik News contains the infor
imntion that the farmers of the Matari
uska valley have formed an organiza
tion to he known as the Matanuska
Farmers Association. E. F. Krueger
was olecteil president and Charles Mar
tin was elected secretary-treasurer.1
Thirty-three farmers signed the mem
bership roll.
Writing from Wiseman. Dr. Dan
fort h says that the coldest weather for
February in his vicinity was 41 below
zero, while the average for the month
was only 12 below. This is mild
weather for the northernmost mining
camp in Alaska, located a good hun
dred miles within the Arctic circle,
and indicates a much milder season j
than usual.

There is now lying at Sulzer, Alaska,
awaiting a freight boat, the first ship
ment of bartumite ore ever made from
l lie territory. This new ore is used lo
mix with white lead in the making of
paint and is found in only one place
in the United States. The mine Is al
Limestone Point, about ten miles from
Sulzer. The ledge is forty feet wide
and it is estimated that there is
enough ore to furnish the paint mills
with all they can use for years.

NEW FREDOM. MEXICO.
The infancy of the new freedom In
Mexico undoubtedly is, as new free
doms in infancy frequently are, dis
turbing to adults who do not love the
infant and who find themselves bored
or actively indignant when their hats
are sat upon or when their shins are
kicked.
Spain and any other nation which
may Hnd itself put out by the free
manifestations of a juvenile demo
cracy to the south of us must under
stand that these gropings are in the
direction of a sound maturity, and
that it is contrary to our theories of
child raising to have the youthful i
ardor checked.
It must display itself and gradually!
learn the restraints which life puts
upon action. It must grow to maturity,
not as a child of discipline rebuffed at
every step by the admonitory or men-;
acing "don't," hut rather In self-re
liance toward self-respect.
If it seems headstrong, this is merely!
the outcropping of an essentially ad-|
mirahle vigor Time and experience I
will chqck the waywardness of its
acts. And it must be remembered that
w<* ask for no tolerance which we do
not extend i »urs are the closest shins.
They are kicked most often ar.d most
vigorously. If we are patient we must
ask tlie other neighbors to be indul
gent.
They at least are not walking the
floor at nights with tlie child.—Ex.
