NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 14, 1015.
Uegardless of the antecedents of that
erstwhile bandit, soldier, and self
styled president of the Mexican lie
public , 1’ancho Villa, if the recent ut
terances relative to his attitude as re
gards the Mexican situation may be an
indication of his actual desires and not
merely some subtile evasion of the
issue forced by President Wilson’s
threatening note, it would seem that he!
is perhaps worthy of a more extended |
regard than tias been accorded him in
the past. \v e have been more or less
iiCiUStnineil to look upon the lormvi
mule driver as a species of aggrandized
cut throat whom fortuitous circum
stance had elevated to a position of
consequence and who, despite his pro
tests that the relief of his fellow coun
trymen was the sole desire of his heart,
was really animated by a greed for pelf
and the gratification of a lust for
power. And, while it is doubtless true
that certain acts with which he hus
been credited may have lent an ap
pearance of truth to this estimate of
tils character, it is still possible that
We have been deceiving ourselves and
Villa the man and Villa the soldier are
two separate individuals and the seem
ing wanton brutality of the latter by
no means represents the inclinations of
the former. It may also be not un
reasonably suggested that in this re
speet Villa may be the victim of his
unholy past and that he is at present
onimated by a larger desire for the
welfare of his country and its people
than he has been given cerdit for,
whatever may have been his original
intention in offering sueh savage re
sistance toward those whom he vocif
erously denounced as the oppressors
of his countrymen from the very be
ginning of the long continued trouble.
It is difficult to believe that the leopard
can change its spots and it is also the
natural inclination of humanity to es
timate its members by the bar sinister
of the past rather than by the visible
tendencies of the present, but at the
same time Vila may be perfectly sin
cere in his protestations of a desire
ti telieve his felow Mexicans of the
burden of oppressive injustice which
has long been their portion. The most
apparent indication of this possibility is
display* d in his repeated and steadfast
insistance in regard to the necessity
for a more just distribution of the land
among the masses of the people and.
if memory does not err, it was this
same insistance on the agrarian prin
ciple dominating the relations of the
government toward the masses that
led to his present enstrangement with
Carranza who is at present the only
serious obstacle between himself and
the full control of the government. If
his espousal of the individualistic
rights of the Mexican people is indeed
sincere and not some politic quibble
offered in the face of a difficult situa
tion, it is indicative of an altruism
most difficult to reconcile with the
previous unsavory record of the fa
mous leader. Still, some one has sug
gested that miracles are always hap
pening which may account for Villa’s
seemingly remarkable metamorphosis
from the character of a lawless and
bloodthirsty brigand to that of a hu
manitarian who is. according to his
statements, willing to abandon all
claim to power and place in order to
hi# country men a further dm
| aater and who insists that the rtghl
of people to control the soil of then
native land must he granted by who
ever controls the government before lie
will consent to lay down the sword
w bit'll he claims hus been drawn in
such cause. While, as remarked be
fore, it is most dittlcull to accept the
view that Villa is guided only by the
lofty principles suggested, it may p«r
1 apt, be an actuality, in which event,
should he succeed in establishing an
order or condition of government in
keeping with the principles advocated
and based upon a strict equality In the
distribution of the basic resources of
the nation, he will in all probability
be speedily looked upon as the veri
table savior of his country and elevut
ed to a position of the loftiest eminence
In the regard of mankind generally.
We do not venture to suggest that this
is a probability but it is entirely possi
ble.
Stranger things have happened ill
the complex history of mankind and
the rise of knaves to the pinnacle of
human greatness has been by no mean*
rare. Mexico is looking for her sal
vation from within and that the de
sir* of Us people for the God given
right of liberty should find its must
powerful exponent in this muleteer
bandit is a possibility which is by no
means without the bounds of reason
or of precedent.

under the sun would immediately
.-a use him to feel like that historic
Missourian whose ' "dander ria" at a
iimiiar suggestion, it strikes us that
;be natural desire for racial dominance
is the most rational explanation for the
general thankfulness among Ilie whiles
aver the discovery of a white man who
was able to wrest Die championship
laurels from the brow of a black man.
In the realms of Kistians, by some
strange coincidence, the racial lines
are less closely defined than is gen
erally customary and all representa
tives of the white race are all more
or less blended in one class. Thus, in
a general way all are looked as equals
in every sense. Little account is taken
of whether the lighter he Irish, ifin
glish, American or Hebrew so that lie
claims America as tils home. In no
case is he regarded according to the
every day estimates of alien races,
hence we hear no cry when a foreign
born contestant lights liis way to pre
eminence in the roped arena. But in
the case of the negro it is somewhat
different and the whites, generally
speaking, look upon his entrance into
the domain of sport as a species of
mild insolence, which however, in the
interest of good sportsmanship, must
be condoned.
it is presumable that the same feel
ing would be equally manifested
against the CtiiRaman, Jap or Hindoo,
not because as suggested. th#t there
wa» a subconscious fear of those races,
but rsther because tbst the white i*
habituated to the idea of “looking
down" upon those of a different hue
from himself and this attitude un
doubtedly finds its beginning in an in
herent sense »f superiority, a race
egoism if you will, which views with
general disfavor competition with
those classed as inferiors, and holds as
a mild reflection on that supposed su
periority, any triumph achieved by one
of the despised races.

SOME VIEWS OF
REPUBLICANS
The following comments are taken
from a circular issued by the Repub
, liean Publicity Bureau of Washington.
l D. C., which is apparently after some
I body’s scalp:
t
If the President feels the need of aid
in keeping the one-term pledge, he can
find plenty of help among the millions
of men who are out of other useful
occupation.
Colonel House, on his way home,
says be has nothing to report to the
President about war conditions in Eu
rope. "The President,” he adds, "al
ready knows more than anyone can tell
him ” This requires no argument. Wil
son admits it.
"No man." declares the Springfield
(Ohio) News, “can predict what will
happen politically In this country next
year." Nevertheless and notwith
standing we are rash enough to pro
phesy the triumph of the Republican
party.
“It’s a great navy we have, isn’t It?"
said Josephus Daniels to Admiral
Flske "Yes. it isn't." answered the
Admiral And now there Is a vacancy
in the Admiral’s Job.
“A Virginia factory will make two j
and a half million shrapnel shells for'
a European consumer. An ample sup- I
ply to (111 at least 500,000 graves," says
the Portland Oregoniun. Yes, and suf- j
flclent to hsli> restore business eondi- j
tions that were shot to pieces by Dem- |
ocratic legislation.
"You will notice that whenever the j
United States forgets Its ardor for
mankind, a Democrat is elected Presi-|
dent,” said President Wilson, in his |
Indianapolis speech He might also
have mentioned several other things
the people forget when they elect a
Democrat to the presidency. But they |
don't forget oftener than once in twen- 1
ty years.
The emblem of the Democratic party
n the next campaign will lie a pair of
workman’s overalls—carefully washed,
ironed and laid away In a bureau i
drawer.
The Secretary of Agriculture Is out
west. Inspecting the Government for- ,
ests. Next year all the Democrats will
be taking to the tall timber.
The Broadway Central, one of New
York's oldest and best known hotels,
has failed But the Hotel de Gink and
similar hostelries continue to do nj
thriving business in these times of j
psychological prosperity.
Charles Sumner Bird, the Progres
sive leader in Massachusetts, returns
a polite negative to all propositions to
give him a Democratic nomination
"coupled with an indorsement of the
Wilson administration.” In other words
Progressives are essentially Republi
cans.
A New England Progressive picture
squely describes the return of his co
rartlcans to the Republican ranks as
"renouncing the impossible to join the
inevitable.”
