TOT SOIIle tiiiiS McACo HdS DeeH torn and shot to pieces to such an ! extent that all industry advancement and commercial activity has come to an absolute standstill Mexico is stagnated along all lines of develop ment. It is rather pitiful to see .l rich country, where there is so much to be had from the soil and from the | mines going backward on account If the internal strife among brothers.

 w hen Napoleon started his brilliant series of campaigns he prof1ted by thr experiences of Caesar. and Caesar bad stolen some of his ideas from the mon before him still later generals appropriated the lessons taught by tGo Napoleonic wars and the whole wul'd learned military wisdom from the !a't,es of our own civil war.
 This nly proves that one genera tan she Id profit by the activities of ,he last that one country should take 'o heart the lessons being daily taught rv all of the other countries in the Ncrld.

 This does not mean that any man. CT any set of men must give up their political ideas or party faith. Let each one believes as he pleases politi- cally. We must have individuality in all things. but in one thing political creeds have always been forgotten and set aside. That is where patriot ism, love of country. is concerned.

 What we want in Nome now isa little less democratic party and republican party and any other kind of party that happens to be in existence and a whole lot of the party of boost anI progress for the town and the adjoin- ing section of Alaska Let us form q new local party. let us adopt name that has not become tarnished by con nections with any political movement u en let this local Nome party swing tc gether and see what it can do for this section of Alaska.
