Work Together

Stand by your guns.
 The first state administration is be- gin. Governor Hunt and his party have committed themselves to a def mite program. The people have voted upon these policies and have approved them. It is now the duty of the demo- cratic party to support Governor Hunt in putting these principles into law. If the democratic party fails it means they repudiate the commands of the people.
 The general public is not interested in who gets the plums. They want merely conscientious, capable off cials. There are not enough jobs to go around and Governor Hunt and bis party must be judged solely upon the results they achieve and not con- demned because he is unable to ap- point to office all who are politically hungry.
 We opposed Governor Hunt both in the primaries and at the election TOT conscientious reasons, but the people have spoken and it becomes the duty of every citizen to insist upon him being given every opportunity to dem- onstrate his position.
 Gila county has the honor of SUD- plying the first governor of Arizona and it now becomes the duty of Gila's representatives to fight unceasingly for the principles Governor Hunt is pledged to perform.
 It is the duty of Governor Hunt to fulfill these promises to the people and, regardless of politics, he must be given every opportunity to keep faith with the people.
 All good citizens must now join in helping to give square deal to our first state administration.-Gl Sil- yer Belt.

United States May
 Intervene in Mexico

If ever Mexico finds out just what it wants in 9 the way of government and establishes it, then proceeds to the development of the nation as it should be, it will be doing humanity service.
 Scarcely is one set of officials put out of office and a revolution appar- ently brought to a close when anoth- CT revolution is started.
 If the people there are dissatisfied it's up to them to rectify their affairs of government as they see fit.
 If some of them are lending them- selves to the purposes of a few am- bilious and dissatisfied leaders, then they are hindering their own progress most materially.
 It is becoming very apparent that Uncle Sam will not stand for any more Mexican nonsense.
 This country kept a careful watch on the last Mexican revolution, and it cannot be said that the Mexicans were not given all the opportunity they desired to carry through their plans of organization.
 Here they are once more trying to start another civil strife, and this time Uncle Sam isn't going to permit any foolishness along the border
 Formal notice has been served that there's not to be ny firing across the border and that American interests will be protected.
 If the MeXicans want to fight it out, let them fight it out where no one but Mexicans will be hurt.

REPORTS CONDITIONS IN THE
 CANAL ZONE.

Senator Brandegee. who is chair man of the interoceanic canals com mit,ee. returned last week. with other congressman. from a visit of inspec- tion to the Panama canal. It is his Judgment that the canal will be open in 1913. and in that view congress has no time to waste about putting through the necessary legislation pro- viding for administration of tie wa terway, and especially the determln- ation of tolls. Senator Brandegree urged this matter for consideration during the extra session of congress. but that body was too busy doing politics and could find no time for business.
 Senator Brandegec estimates the probable completed cost of the canal at $375.O0O.00O. The Culebra cut alone will cost S1OO.OOO 900. being at the rate of $1O.000.OO0 a mile The sena- tor does not attach any serious im- portance to the landslldes at this point, about which some more or less alarm ing reports have been printed Laad- slides are usual incident of all new construction and grading. They are part of the inevitable expense attend mt on the operation of a new railroad and are dealt with as they come.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The annual election for selecting a member of the Nome public school hoard. that takes place every spring. during the month of May. or special elections held to nn out vacancies arising from time to time. calls for review of the school work or results obtained, as manifested in the pupils, perhaps the most accurate method Of all to judge results
 A year ago the Nugget was forced to take a decided adverse stand against the principal of our public school, and the system in vogue 10. instructing the children. for the sim pie reason it was m ever living dis grace to the community. The total lowered the standard of work perform. ed results obtained. 10 a marked degree. and it was high time some- thing was done.
 The only interest the Nugget had in the election a year ago was one for the advancement of our greatest institutlon-the public school-and even the most skeptical person. be tbcy parent or taxpayer. will ha 2 [. adm; cur schools today have at''.nc ! hlr1er standard of proficiercv
 Iahlic schools. like all other ,u'ti. tutions. having 10 do with may poo ple. are in need of discipllnae' Il at their head and without such they are like the ship without a rudder ;re mast without its braces. or q gun without ammunition. For several years our public schools were without q head. the principal. so- called. lacked control over both pupils and teachers. this resulted in very little headway being made
 We are now approaching another school election and the voters should do a little Investigating of their own to see what has been accomplished during the past year to raise the standard by introduction of more proficient teachers in certain grades where the same were lacking.
 The Nugget has been keeping an eye on the school through the results obtained in pupils. and believes the present efficiency of our public schools has been raised fifty per cent during the past twelve months. We have not the pleasure of knowing the princi- pay, only in a general way. having

met him soon after he arrived last fall, but judging him by results ob- tained. and the discipline restored in the school where all was chaos when he assumed command we will have to give him credit for being thorough disciplinarian in the running If the various grades.
 The strides forward tn learning. many of the pupils have made during the past twelve months. the amount of time devoted to study at home. in order to have their lessons. and keep up in their classes proves good work Is being done. although there may be room for improvement in teachers in one or two grades. Hut the general average Is good. and if the present standard is maintained Nome and the parents will have no kick coming.
 The school board is to be congra.u- lated for securing such an able corps of teachers. and we believe that Scot ty Allan should be made to continue on as a member of the board whether he wishes it or not. And we further believe that no candidate should re- ceive the suffrage of the voters who is not in favor of retaining the pres ent discipllnarian at the head Of our public school. We have lacked such a master hand for years, he may have his faults. for all we know. but they have not been called to our attention and the progress made by the Nome school children during the past twelve months. in comparison to what was made during any other twelve months for some four or five years prior 10 last fall. warrants the voters to think several times before casting n ballot for a candidate who is in fav- or of making radical changes In our present efficient school system.

NOT GOOD POLITICS.

Secretary Knox handed Theodore Roosevelt such 6 red hot banning the other day. we are inclined 10 believe there is a gretaer chance of Teddy sescuring the nomination than many would have us believe
 To knock Roosevelt that hard in California. may be good politics. but the Nugget believes it will prove to be q boost. There is nothing gained in knocking a popular idol in his stronghold, there are other and more effective methods of doing politics than that. and We are somewhat sur prised that Secretary of State Knox went so strong against the colonel in Los Angeles.
 Watch Roosevelt pile up a large vote in Los Angeles. on account of what Knox had 10 say, and keep your eyes on Ohio for Harmon. on account Of the knocking that official has been receiving in his own state by William Jennings Bryan.
