Washington, Aug. 30.-The next
move in the Mexican situation will
depend largely upon the judgment OF

Eoy. No message was received by
lMr. Wilson from Lind, and when the
president left Washington for his
summer home in New Hampshire he
tdid not know whether or not Lind
had left Vera Cruz for Mexico City
or whether he had made up his mind

Washington, Aug. 90.-The protest

and on incomes beyond $500,000 to 2
per cent. The bill as drawn at pres

WEATHER OBSERVATIONS.

Observations OF the United
States weather bureau taken at
z D. m. Friday:
The daily Alaskan., 1913-03-13

President Taft never appeared SO great as when retiring from office. Then Taft became Taft again, and smiled and iOked about his failures, and forgot them. By the honest acknowledgement that he was prone to take life too easy and was what some might call lazy, he voiced something that we all feel, and then We understood the man. During his term Of office he was inclined to permit those who were close to him to influence his actions, and his advisers, not always being as hon. est as himself, got him into lots of trouble through their selfishness; 1t was then he came in for blame.
 Taft is a much better citizen than he is president, and would be a good president were all men honest, but they are not, and President Taft did not know how to throw out the politicians and crooks, so he vicar iously suffered for them.

Mir Hockett has a wide acquaintance with prominent Democratic leaders and has had a police experience that would make him an invaluable officer as a federal marshal. For years he served on the police force of Chicago. and at two of the Nation cl Democratic conventions held in that city he was chosen as a special body guard for William Jennings Bryan, with whom he Is well ac- quainted.
 For years he has had personal re- iations with Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago. who will doubtless use his powerful influence in securing the appointment of Mir. Hockett.

Dear fellow man, feeble In the intellect and wobbly in your gait. as ve all are more or less in this vale of tears, if you would be reasonably happy, don't spend time in getting somebody's goat, or slipping some thing over on some one. Getting the other fellows goat but iniures yourself and does him some harm' therefore you are both losers.

 Poor, human patchwork. you can not get even with anyone. When you think you are getting even, you are falling. and each attempt to get even takes you a step further down until you are even ouly with sorrow and wretchCdness.
 We know many men who are sincerely anxious for the signing Of peace and arbitration treaties be- tween nations, that war may no longer redLeu the land with blood yet they hold enmity against their neighbor, or their tOwnsman, and spend hours in trying to get his goat. Men are but units of the nation, and in their little world they are as responsible, and as answerable to God for their mis- deds, as are the multitudes that get the goats of other multitudes,
