BEWARE OF PINCOTISM.
If I In* al l acks nf such iillra
conserval ion organs as is I lie
Washington Times have any in
fluence uimll the next president ill
his allempls al cahiuel making
. (.hen imleeil will Alaska amt I lie
West have just cause for regret,
because of the whole-heart eil
support which il gave to the New
Jersey mail.
The Washington paper editor
ially makes a hitler attack upon
Governor Norris, of Montana, not
oil the ground of personal char
acter or of unfitness for office
but because of I In* fact that the
governor’s brand of conservation
is not preached and practiced by
'Gifford Pinchot.
Governor Norris in his mes
sage upon the subject of conser
vation: in his speeches and in his
written utterances lias exactly
enunciated the doctrines that are
accepted by the rank anil file of
the pekiple of the public land
states in particular and of the
people of the Wesl generally. His
preachments that conservation
does not mean disuse but rather
the use of all natural resources
for the benefit of the people, are
just the sort of preachments that
commend Ihemseixes to all who
understand the pmblems of the
Wesl, and attacks upon him be
cause of his views upon the mat
ter of land regulation and the de
velopment of our resources hut !
serve to strengthen the faith I',
-the people in bin .
The Prospi'clnr has not i;ik11
part in tin* urging of any camli- j
date for raliinel positions upon j
the president-elect because it fell j
that this was a matter that might
well be regarded as personal, hut
when attacks are made upon a
Western man because be is a
Western man, then the Pros
pector believes that il is lime lo
enter a vigorous protest.
How many of Hie far Western
stales would have cast I heir elec
toral voles for Woodrow Wilson
if they had supposed that liis elec
tion meant I tie vindication of Gif
ford Pincliot and li is policies?
How many of os hut know I lull
lh‘> most potent argument made
against the election of Theodore
Roosevelt was that his success
meant the recognition of Pinchot
ism and a revival of its destruct
ive policies?
Pincliot ism has cost Maska a id
the West altogether to; much . >
admit of Western men i ghtly r*‘
garding the renewal of the effo I
to stifle development through the
application of the arbitrary rules
of ultra conservaf ionism and if it
is found that Ihe election of Wil
son means the revival of Pinchol
ism, then indeed will the Democ
racy have a most, difficult task to
retain the advantage which il lias
gained in Ihe West.
ENTHUSIASM AND PROSPERITY.
Tin* study of statistics is at
best a very uninteresting pursuit,
in which the average man indul
ges inure from necessity than
from choice. Notwithstanding this
fact we would direct your atten
tion to a collection of figures
which when compiled in their en
tirety will prove an exception to
the rule. We refer to the records
for the year 1912, which will evi
dence the great activity of our
country in its commercial rela
tions, both at home and abroad;
its stupendous bank clearings; its
bumper crops. The careful study
of such a review cannot fail to
be a source of inspiration to the
reader, and to prove beyond the
peradvenfure of a doubt that the
year just closed was the most
prosperous we have ever enjoyed.
The year 1912 has run its
course. Its history, figuratively
speaking, has been written. It
records many noteworthy achieve.
inou I s, many undertakings
brought to a successful issue; as
well as sundry costly errors and
dreadful calamities. As we stand
at the portals of the new year it,
is our enthusiasm that prompts
us to redouble our efforts in the
hope of passing the mark we set
for ourselves during the past
year. Every indication points to
the fact that peace will reign
within our borders, that crops will
be good and that, our mills and
factories will he taxed to their ut
most. Tho realization of these
predictions, coupled with our in
tense enthusiasm will work won
ders, and will make for a year of
prosperity and plenty.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But

It i- a fact that Valdez beer ig a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in th«e growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
