WATTERSON ON MEXICO
Hie refusal of the Wilson administration to recognize
the Huerta regime was and is, and will probably continue
to be, wholly justified. In his Latin-American statement
the President proclaimed that his government would seek
to lay the basis of intercourse with Latin-American countries
in the principle and the case only of those set up on orderly
processes, and "not upon arbitrary or irregular force.” He
likewise stated that the American government “would pre
fer those who act in the interest of peace and honor, who
protect private rights and respect the restraints of constitu
tional provisions. Nothing was said about the divinity
or the “binding obligations ’ of the Monroe doctrine—and
wisely so—because the Monroe doctrine has become an of
fense to every self-respecting Latin-American. He does not
need our “protection.” He resents our patronage. 1 hus
far “hands off” in Mexico has most favorably impressed
him. Intervention would therefore not only mean war, long
and bloody, but it would drive from us the dawning good
will of the whole Spanish-American population dwelling
south of Mexico, says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Nor is this the worst. War, however successful in the
field, would degenerate into guerrilla warfare costly and
fruitless. If, planting ourselves not only upon the Monroe
doctrine, but a total perversion of its original intent and
meaning, we should obligate ourselves to protect the lives
and properties of citizens of the European countries which
we warn away from protecting themselves, who shall fore
cast the consequences! It is easy to conceive that, before
the end, complications might arise between ourselves and
those powers involving other wars. Poor Kichard tolls us
that “a stitch in time saves nine.” Here we have a situa
tion that may well invoke the wisdom of Franklin.

MOVING ON
E foolish folk are discontented with things where'er we
chance to dwell. “The air,’’ we say, “is sweeter in
some far distant dale or dell." And so pull up stakes
and travel to seek the fair and promised land, and find our
Canaan is but gravel, a wilderness of rocks and sand. “Across
the hills the fields are greener,” we murmur, “and the view’
more fair; the water of the brooks is clearer, and fish grow
larger there.” And so we leave our pleasant valley, from all
our loving friends w’e part, and o’er the stony hills w’e sally, to
reach a land that breaks the heart. “There’s gold in plenty
over yonder,” we say, “and we shall seek the mines.” Then
from our cheerful homes we wander, far from our figtrees and
our vines; a little while our dreams we cherish, and think that
w’e can never fail; but, tired at last, we drop and perish, and
leave our bones upon the trail. How happy is the man whose
nature permits him to enjoy his home, who, till compelled by
legislature, declines in paths afar to roam! There is no region
better, fairer, than that home region that you know; there are
no zephyrs sweeter, rarer, than those which through your gal
ways blow.—Walt Mason.
In the opinion of Falcon .Toslin, pres
ident of the Tanana Valley Railroad
Company, who arrived home last night,
after a 10 months’ vUit on ihe Outside,
i lie Alaska railroad bill is sure to pass
congress, although it will probably not
do so at this session. However, Mr.
.Toslin expects that congress wall take
action before the early spring. The
returned Fairbanksan spent most of
i lie time while Outside at the national
capital, where he was several times
called before committees, having the
railroad bill under consideration. He
also spent some time in New York.
A barrel of claret washed ashore
from the wrecked California at Gam
bier bay. The Indians of I lie place
surrounded it at a convenient point and
tapping t lie barrel commenced a
drunken debauch. They used toolies
and sucked the red wine from ihe bar
rel. When a native could drink no
more his friends would bundle him into
a canoe and paddle him to his home
and give another native a chance with
the toolies. This is the story brought
to Juneau by persons who have visited
ihe scene of the wreck.—Juneau Em
pire.
John C. Augsbury, of Sun Francisco,
and James S. Simpson, of Jackson,

ernor’s office on the <Jth. He will visit
ihe upper White river section and the

The clerk of the court of the First
division, K. W. Pettit, on August 17th

This is tile first payment of taxes (ex
cept poll taxes) to be collected under
the Territorial revenue law enacted by
■lie First Alaska legislature.
The moving pictures of the Alaska
