NOME. ALASKA, FEB. 27, 1914.

It would be very interesting to be on the inside of what Is going on in Washington jurt now. To b. behind the scenes as it were and to see just what President Wilson and his chief advisor according to the rules of the game, think about all of this Mexican business
 Of course we are not particularly inter ested in Mexico but r is topic that must be holding the center of tho stage in Washington and besides it is good safe topic for consideration up here In Nome.
 We cannot possibly get into the war if il does come and we cannot pos s.bly hurt anybody's feelings by talk inI about all of the things they must be done in Washington just about TOW when the news dispatches are flying in with Mexico writ large in the first line.
 First we hear that the powers will intervene without regard to the Uni ted States. Then we hear that the powers and thc United States are in accord.
 One telegram says that an escort will be furnished to British official who wants to investigate the murder of the Englishman Benton and the next day we learn that Bryan has talked England out of making any in = vestigation at all.
 Two thousand American marines are on their way to Mexico City and Huerta threw the American represen- tative out of the back window of the palace and the next minute Washing ton denies the marine story and we hear that O'Shaughnessy and Huerta were seen matching quarters drinks on the end of the bar conduct ed by the patriotic Mexican citizen. Sonor Rusini Downingo.
 England and Germany are preparing 10 send strong forces into Mexico from the East and Japan will at the same time invade from the west That message comes at three o'clock, and at four we are told that all is quiet along the Potomac and that there is perfect understanding and that Mir. Bryan had good nights sleep.
 It is all very perplexing, is the news about Mexico. and it is about all of the news We get which makes it dou- bly hard.
 But evidently down in Washington. |. just in one particular spot in Wash irgton. at the foot of the Avenue of the Presidents. there is very quiet and studious man who evidently knows just what is going on and just

me of the m"st intelligent of recent C ..mentarieS on american politics and government H brief article hy .,'i Charles II. ;.stA. who is pul,. fisher of the Baltimore Sun The article which appears in the lndc- pendent of September 25. is entitled Change the Constitution" Its point is epitomized in prefactory sen tcrce: Let us get good govcrnmer by making the fight for it humanly in teresting
 Mir. Grasty being a newspaper man and an able one. realizes not only how good government depends upon pub licity but also how publicity is condi- tioned by public interest.
 In other words if, as Jefferson main . tained. it is better to have "newspa . pers without government than gov crnment without newspapers" it is important to understand that news papers themselves are governed by the iron of law of public interest News papers not merely prosper or languisI they live or die by this law, and the degree of every journals influence and power to serve is the degree in whict it can meet the varied interests of tho public mind.
 Publicity-and the layman seldon understands-this is not publica- tion. When editors are asked re- prCachfully by earnest minded citizens 1 why they do not print more solit reading matter they reply that solii reading matter is often not read. ;t may be published but not made pub lie. Solid reading matter must be readable first and solid only incident ally. Much that is published is waste
 And here Mir. Grasty points out very justly that our politics lacks per. sistent interest. It is highly exciting at times. but its processes "betweer times" because of our scheme of gov CT, ment and political action, lack in- terest. This is realized, IS Mr. Gras- ty says. when we compare the Englisl system with our own. There in the rmall arena of the house of commons sit facing each other the rival chief t'ins, the premier and the opposition leader. with their captains about them Night after night they clash in req debate and always there is a chanc; that on a vote.s perhaps wholly un. expected snap" vote. the government will be defeated and the ministry resiPning and the parties preparing tc place their claims before the elector- ate in a campaign.
 This all gives quality of contnu- ing interest to English politics which our involved machinery cannot keep awake in the public mind. The size of ( ropular chamber has helped to

 IL is extremely doubtful if the great diplomatist at the head of the depart mtnt of state knows the innermost Il oughts of the head of the nation and 1t is a hundred to one shot that the men who are sending the press dispatches over the wire do not know from one minute to the next what is going on in the president office at the White House or in the presidents studious brain.
 We may have different views on what should be dcne in regard to Mex, leo and different views as to when |, hculd be done and we may change our views as often as the press dis patches change the trend of events. hut until We know all that Mir.

BOSTON May 2O-The Tigers man

Dubuc, was not right at all, and he
let the Red SoX beat the smuggling
Bengals the third time in row. The
Tigers have their only chance now
10 win game in the present series
this afternoon. The score OF yester-
days game was Sc.
Bedient pitched only fair ball for
Boston, but Dubuc was not effective
for Detroit. His weakness combined
with some faulty fielding allowed the
Sox TO overtake the Tigers and win
out
The Sox scored first in the first
inning. Yerkes walked and Hooper
was safe when Dubuc threw wild try
ing to force Yerkes on Hooper's
grounder. Lewis doubled them home,
| Speaker singled Lewis in.

The Tigers evened I'm the third. A
