 President Taft is a lover of |peace and will be slow to involve the nation in a war with Mex ico or any country. Other na- tions have no doubt brought dip lomatic pressure to bear and his proclamation is a warning to all foreigners as well as to Amcri- can citizens.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1912.
GOOD TIMES COMING.

The news that the Senate com- mittee had recommended the ap- propriation for the dyke has cre- ated an optimistic feeling in Val deg such as no other item of news has been able to accomplish. It has resulted in renewed activity on the part of the citizens to urge upon friends in the Senate and Congress to secure speedy pass age of the measure making the appropriation Immediately avail able.
 While there is nothing definite as to the fate of the bill the citi- Zens of Valdez have good reason to hope that the appropriation will be made. The property of the federal government in Valdez is worth much more than the sum asked to protect it and the whole town from the glacier stream. Valdez wants the government railroad to interior Alaska if she is entitled 10 it. This town is willing to stand on it's merits in the matter of the railroad. If it can be shown that some other coast terminal possesses more ad- vantages and would prove more beneficial to Alaska as whole the citizens of Valdez will be content 10 await the time when business will demand railroad to the in teriOr from it's bay. At present Valdez wants the dyke and must have it.
 The appropriation will mean much to Valdez, much more than the mere S55,0OO which will be put into circulation here for labor. It will settle the dyke question, which has added to the burden of taxation every year and will give a permancncy and stability to Valdez real estate which has been lacking through fear of the ravagcs of the glacier stream. The value of real estate will in crease many times the sum cy- pended by the government for the work.
 The mines surrounding Valdez, both gold and copper. arc rapid ly cOmIng iO the front. The oui- look warrants preparations for a better class of buildings than prOprriy owners were Justified in erecting SO long as they were sub jrct to destruction by the glacier stream. The granting of the dyke for an increase in Ihc price of Val dcZ real rStaIr and a building boom such as the town has never witnessed.

REMEMBER THE ALAMO.

Tn" news from Washington that President Taft has issued a proclamation warning all Amer ican citizens tO leave Mexico means that inc time has come when the United States must call halt tO the disorders in the neighboring republic.
 Intervention on the part of America was bound to come soon CT OF later as a matter of self defense. To permit the struggle fo be continued indefinitely would be to invite some other foreign power tO step in and demand peace. Germany, Britain and France have large interests in Mexico and must be tired of the uncertainty attending their in- vcstmcnis in that country. The United States could not permit any foreign power to interfere in Mex ico as such intervention would mean that the nation which used it's good offices in restoring peace would probably be granted con- cessIOns in the way of strip of territory for q naval base at our very doors.
 Ii may even be necessary for America iO maintain q similar course with Mexico as with Cuba. For fifty years before the country came under the control of Prcsi- dent Diaz it's history was one of bloodshcd and disorder. For twenty-five years Diaz ruled Mex icO with an iron hand and it was freely predicted that after him would come disorder and strife. The prophecies bid fair to be full filled if Mexico is left to her own devices.
 Should the Mexicans attempt to carry out their threat to massa- ere American citizens residing in that country in retaliation for in- tervention on the part of the United States it will mean the winding up of that country as an independent republic for many years to come and possibly for all time. America will demand full

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

During the latter days of this month the Democratic territorial convention will convene in this city, for the purpose of nominat- ing candidate for delegate to congress. This gathering will bring in our midst large num- Der of strangers, all more or less prominent in the affairs of the tcrritOry--men who have had and will continue to have much to do with the upbuilding of this great nOrthland.
 At this particular time Valdez is 'in the eyes of the people of Alaska" by reason of her recent mineral discoveries, her strategic position as railway terminus, and as the entry port of the great Yukon basin, in case rail connec- ton is established between tide water and the auriferous gravels of the Panama.
 It should become the duty of every citizen of Valdez to sec that our guests are extended a hearty Alaskan welcome; not necessarily as Democrats, or party men in the political sense, but rather as NOrthmen, who come here in the hope of bcttering the conditions governing us, and who have the welfare of the territory at heart, and are striving according to their lights to tighten the burdens which have rested so heavily up on us in recent years.
 Let us, then, all join, irrespect- i've of party, in making the brief sojourn of the Democratic dele gates, a time long to be remem- bered by them in order that when they return to their homes there will finger in their memory kind ly thoughts of Alaska's future me- trOpOliS.

chine which has run over them.
This year, however, the wise ones
are beginning early TO give aozna
consideration TO the vice preGtden*,
and particularly is this the case BE-
cause of the fact that their failure to
think about 1t last time resulked IN
the nomination OF a candidate for
vice president who was not entirely
satisfactory to the head OF The
ticket
Strangely enough, as the situatian
now presents itself, just about the
same sort of candidate, and peThans
the same individual viii be chosen aa
vice presidential candidate, no
matter whether Taft is renominated
or whether he is crowded out by
former President Roosevelt. IN
either event it will be necessary to
name progressive or near pgogres-
siye.

stands to reason of course that his

given, even at this early date. Thus

Indiana. Governor Aldrich of Neb
