publican administration for pursuing
policy o. "spineless diplomacy"

clared Taft should have protected
Americans during the battles of Ju-
arcz and Aqua Prieta by taking such
steps as were necessary. even if the
president Of the Mexican republic
wanted to consider such steps as an
act of war He said five Americans
were killed and eighteen wounded
while engaged at their work on the
American side of the border. and
that troops apparently were there.

There are enough influences sur rounding his candidacy to buy whatever number of votes the ad- minisiralion may be short of.

Of all those things he has accused the president, he has been repeatedly guilty of; he has been guilty of much more. His extreme sclflshncss; his cgotism and his personal ambition, com bined with cratic mind, super heated with alcoholic exccsscs, makes him an extremely danger ous man to place at the head of the government. The picturesque Roosevelt of eight years ago has vanished tO give place to the very common mortal who is cam paigning against Taft at this time.

THE ROAD TAX LAW.

There is not a law on the stat ute books applying 10 Alaska which has been the subject and target of more unjust and un- called for criticism than the law relating to road tax.
 A careful examination of this law will not furnish to the per- son giving it study and reflection one single point io be added or subtracted by way of amendment. It's provisions have been careful ly studied, it's terms are not harsh, it's enforcement injurcs no one, while, nn the contrary, helps everybody.
 The law is applicable to that part of a precinct outside of an incorporated town, while the purpose which it accnntplishcs is Inc location, construction and re- pair of public roads and trails. Two days work. nr the payment of eight dollars lo effect that purpose is all which the law rX- acts from him who is able to work nr able in pay. provided he has been d resident of the pre- rinrl thirty days. Can any law he conceived more just and rqui- table in it's lrrnIS ur more ncc- I'SSary for the common good. Be- sides opening rp new irailS and roads nr improving those already made Ihc enforcement of this law has sanitary advantages rS- prcially in ihos" unincnrporatrd communities where sanitary or. iinances do not apply, resulting in benefits which cannot hr over estimated.
 Under the law Ihr road over -srcr's salary is limited lo Si0 for onr years services. The po- >ition comes under the head and classification of thankless jobs. With q fOrc-kn0wlrdge of the du- lies in be performed one must be strongly artuaird by d"Sir" to render a public service who ac- cepts il.
 The nlain and prinriplr "hirr- ton to the law lies in the fact that some reap greater benefits from it's enforcement than oth- CTS. While this is true, yet. ow-. ing ln Inc large territory to which inc law is applicable. and the scale or variety of interests of thusr affected by iIS provisions. Il is impossible to substitute q law ilIal will effect an equal amount of good with Sn little amount of hardship.
 Much can hr accomplished for ihr general welfare when once inc spirit of ru-OprraiiOn be comes dominant in community, and hut little without il. There IS no public servant deserving more of this spirit on the part of thc public in inc performance of his duties than the road ovrrSrrr and who at inc same time gets less.
 Let Us from now on adopt the plan and policy of helping and cn operating with the road Ovcrsrpr in the hcitrrInrmi of lhc roads and trails.

ten the distance to Cade about
two miles, and that is a good sec

a large amount of trade, and the
