NOME .ALASKA, MAR. 4, 1916
The announcement of a new re
%'olution in Mexico is seemingh
an early substantiation of the on
ment.oned theory that the inter
nal troubles of that country will
never be fully settled until some
other nation takes a hand in the
game and compells the Mexicans
to cease their mckerings by the
simple process of cramming
peace down their throats with a
bayonet. This may seem a
rather heroic method of inducing
the olive branch to wave over a
settled and peaceful Mexico but
the developments of the past fou>
year have iurnished ample
ground for the conclusion tnai
peace will continue a lingering
quantity until processes 01 the
cnaracter indicated are resortea
to by some superior nation. Car
ranza may be aoie to subdue the
present insurrection and, again,
he may not, but it is hardly to be
doubted that with such men as
\ ilia, Z.apata, Diaz and a host 01
other lesser lights, free to pursue
their own devices, other insurrec
tions will rise in its train with tht
probable result that the present
government will be forced to the
wall sooner or later, while ruin
and chaos brood unchecked in
the midst of national desolation.
The whole t'oubie with Mexico
is that she really needs a seda
tive. lliere is altogether to
much ambition and uesire foi
place and power among the upper
classes to permit of a peaceful
settlement 01 the long continued
troubles commencing with the
downfall of Porhrio Diaz—the
only man who was ever strong
enough to hold down the volatile
spirits of the ruling classes. The
poor peon is, God knows, a peace
ful enough citizen, ordinarily.
Ambition is not his portion and
he knows it full well. An hum
ble, docile creature, beaten into
subjection by generations of hard
taskmasters, he is well content to
let things slide along in any man
ner they may choose as long as
he is provided with the creature
comforts of existence; a roof to
cover his head and a modicum oi
such simple comestibles as form
his daily fare together with a few
rags to cover his nakedness.
Provided with the few necessi
ties of life and left to himself, it
is little trouble he will raise, but
withal, he is below the surface,
just as high spirited as his more
favored countrymen of the upper
classes. A little of the linguistic
affluvia denoted “bull” in this land
of the free, wdll soon raise his
spirits above high water mark
and if he is promised a full supply
of food and a place on some
body’s pay roll—both of which
are usually minus quantities with
him—he is willing to go, though
the devil lead the way. To him
it is not a question of ethics or
policies and it is little heed he
£ive9 to pauses, provided there is
no money or food or clothing at
tached. We do not mean to in
fer that he is not patriotic, for
there is no greater patriot undei
the sun. He loves his country
with a love surpassing Strang*,
when one considers how little it
gives him under ordinary condi
tions The trouble ts that, though
he loves his native land with a
whole hearted inter*st h* gives
nttle heed t<? the manner or meth
od by which it rises to its place
• n the sun. The only thing that
appeals to him in this relation is
.ne denominative equivalent oi
.that we call "bread and butter.”
1 he matter of how ua maintain
a lull stomach covers all ques
ion of principles, and policies
ind so makes him an ideal sub
ect for the insiduous advances ot
.he politically ambitious ones
•vho aspire to rule. With such
material as this to work on it is
really a matter for wonder that
.here are not a dozen armies in the
•ield instead of the one that Dia2
uas just successfully launched on
• ts career of destruction. With a
million or more poor creatures
without food or shelter, because
jf the long continued desolations
jf war, ready to do anything so
.hat they may live, it requires but
sufficient money to provide them
with arms and some measure of
.ood, to bring a half dozen armies
.nto being, ready to fight for al
most any cause that can be made
.o appear a panacea for the evils
under which the poor have suffer
jJ tor generations. To the am
bitiously inclined patriot who can
afford to spend the money there
.s always a ready field for start
.ng a revolution which may lanu
ts leaders in the seats of power
it is, therefore, hardly to be
ioubted that until all the would
, -e presidents are exterminated
1 .here will be those who will rise
it intervals to save the country
md in so doing perpetuate the
strife and bloodshed of the past
four years. To all appearances
.he prophets are not far off the
mark when they insist that the
ultimate destiny of Mexico re
poses in the hands of some other
lation which will take upon itself
the duty of quelling the turbulent
spirits who are leading or wait
ing to lead, the masses of the
nation to destruction.

The Ketchikan Cmmercial club
has been reorganized and is plan
mg to be of service to the town
ind to Alaska generally. Ah the
powers of the club have been cen
*raled in the executive board in
order that they may carry on the
work of the club unhampered.
The Alaskan Engineering com
mission, which is to build the
government railroad from Seward
471 miles to Fairbanks, has re
ceived a permit from the Forest
service to cut 85,000,00 feet of
timber in the Chugach national
forest for use in constructing tht
new line. The permit was issued
uy the District Forester at Port
land, Ore., who has direct super
vision of the Alaskan forests.
This cut of 85,000/300 feet will
be the largest amount of timbei
| ever felled in the Alaskan forest3
.orests of Alaska contain about
78,000,000,000 feet of merchanta
ble timber and it is estimated by
the forest service that 800,000,000
feet could be cut every year for
ever without lessening the forests’
productivity.

Owing to the fact that the large
brewing interest of Washington
state automatically went out of
business January, owing to the
prohibition law, representatives of
the same arc said to be in nego
tiations with S. Zynda, of the
Eagle Brewing Company, to make
the Juneau brewery the supply
center for the trade of Alaska.
No effort was made ,o collect
poll taxes in Alaska the present
season, owing to‘the belief that
| the law was defense. The terri
torial officials sent out word to
the various comrriissioners to that
effct some time ago. However.
; there is reason to befieve that
; in some of the more isolated dis
tricts of Alaska an attempt may
have been made to collect taxes.
In case this should prove to be
1 fact and the ones paying the
money should show their receipts
and demand a return of the
| '.mounts, it is likely the collect
i ing officers would'have to dig up.
Mrs. Helen Mitchell McEvoy.
! formerly of Cordova, has taken
^over the Juneau Sunday Post, and
alter a reorgani^jon that paper
will likely be iss <£d under a new
name. Mrs. McEvoy has had con 1
siderable experience in the news .
paper game and kill undoubtedly
make a success of her latest un
iertaking.
