Mexico

NttAttu
Mexico Is a state of affairs varying
from chronic to acute, which begins
at the Rio Grande river and extends
southwark TO the more orderly re-
gions Of Honduras aud Nicarauga.
There are 100000 square miles in
Mexico, but practically everything
else is crooked. The country Is A.
thlckly settled As the United States
was IN 1890, but most OF the lnhab-
itants are Indians or half breeds.
For many centuries the whites have
labored earnestly to kill the Indians
OF, but owing to the reluctance Of
immigration TO pour IN upon the
country, the job has been too big
and there are several million left
The Yaqui Indians are as hard TO as
simulate benevolently as the Tam
many tribe Is politically.
Mexico begins just south Of where
the climate becomes unbearably hot
and continues southwark to point
where thermometers have to be en-.
olsed in water jackets However
the country Is built on the two-siorY
system, being lavishlY equipped with
plateaus, thus giving the inhabitants
their choice Of Temperatures. Some
Of Mexico sticks upward as high as
10, 800 feet, but most Of il lately has
gone down considerably below the
region explored so thoroughly by
,the late DR.. Dante.
Mexico has is. 900, 0 90 people, of
whom several are stlll peAceable,
owing to the great difficulty in I'M
porting arms The form Of govern
ment Is circular, attaining a speed at
times Of II revolutions per month.
For the names of the president and
cabinet see latest newspaper bnlle
tins. The chief occupation OF these
are chasing rebels, chasing govern
meut troops, chasing constitutional
lists, chasing American citizens and
chasing innocent by-standers. The
general health Of the nation is poor
at present, among the most fatal DIS
eases being patriotism, rebellion aud
neutrality.
Mexico Is rich IN gold, SILVER aud
petroleum and tropical fruits aud
would have gotten along better for
the last 400 years without this
wealth. 1t has had more troubles
than any other nation. 1t was dis
covered by Cortez in 1919, having
nowhere to hide and was ruled by
Spain for 800 years without anaes-
thetics or any other form of relief.
Mexico then became a republic, after
which it was licked by Texas, cap.
tured by the United States, stolen
by France and appropriated by Diaz.
Three year ago it revolted and has
since been unable to shake off the
habit.
Mexico is highly civilized archi-
tecturally and mechanically, but Is
not now explored by any tourists as
much as is the interior of Africa

Official Paper
NOME. ALAskA, MARCH 17, 1914.

There Is something the matter with the democratic party in that great old state of New York. Just what the uCuble Ls does not seem to be clear except that within the party itself there are factions.
 Factions arc mighty bad thing for any party anywhere and at any time. and factions arc particularly bad forI the democratic party in New York which Is a very important state.
 The leaders and the editors of dem ocratic papers and other men Who have weight in the New York demo- Tacy have not been pulling togeth=r for the last year as they should has been doing and this lack of get to- gether has caused the administration DO end of worry.
 The Sulzer case was a bad thing for the party and the split that has been caused over 1t will be hard to heal Also the enemies of democracy will meke all the political capital they can out Of this inter-party rumpus. For that. after all. is just what it is. A family quarrel within the democratic party and 1t has done tho party more harm than all of the good that the democrats have derived from the na . ttonal administration of President Wilson will be able to overcome in T considerable time.
 Mr Wilson. himself and the nation = al democratic leaders are quite wise enough to realize what n handicap in they are exerting every means in their power to bring the waring factions in New York together.
 New York is. politically. very i'm portant state. probably the most i'm portant state in the country. and nc party viii let go of its power in that state without a struggle. But 1t has become very clear to the democratic leaders that internal strife within the rarty. personal bickerings and striv- ings for place at any cost will tear the party to shreds and leave 1t open to continued successful attack.
 what Is true in New York in regard ,o the democratic party just now. that Internal dissention is on the highwa, ,f ruin the party. has been equally true of other parties in other states and at other times. No party organ tsstion can hold together and accom- p!lsh anything for Itself or for its party unless it presents a solid from l.. the enemies without the party.

BladensburE.

We observed. or rather refrained from
observing, a very notable American bat
tie centenary yesterday. II was the bat
tie of Bladensburg, upon which the Amer
lean history is rather silent In this con-
fiict an American force of some 500 men
was thrown into confusion after little or
no resistance. thus permitting a British
column to enter the National Capital and
burn the place Perhaps. in the light
OF many subsequent American battles and
the tradition which the American arms
have fixed on numerous other fields OF
conflict. il is we'll that We should not
dwell too heavily on Bladensburg. Yet
II presents an important lessOn-that OF
necessity for preparedness and OF the
futtlity in trusting to raw leyies.
The American force at BladensbUrg,
which was thrown into confusion by a
sharp charge launched by a British force,
lacked military training, organization,
discipline or any Of the elements of SOL
diery. 1t was little more than a mob and
hence easily stampeded. Had the Ameri-
can force been properly trained it is safe
have been burned and the spectacle Of
President Madison and his Secretary Of
War fleeing hotly would never have
been presented. The moral Is that II
takes trained soldiers to fight battles. A
mob is ineffective. even in resisting in
vasion. Raw levies. even though properly
armed and equipped, are little better
than a mob.-Portland Oregonian-

Business and Politics.

In order that the record may be kept straight and
that the European war may not be used as a pre-
text for all ills of business depression in the United
States, list of dividend losses of corporations is
worthy of consideration at this time 1t will be
more to the point election day approaches
During the last month dividend disbursements
were cut $I5yoooooo. But in the preceding period
beginning early last year the losses through the
ing of dividends had reached S75oooooo by reason.
commercial and industrial interests claim, Of Con-
gressional attacks business and the policy OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission This S75oooooo
represented the interest on S1,5oooooooo of stock
approximately 5 per cent
In less than two years over 100 corporations
either have passed reduced their dividends, of
which seventeen were railroad and the balance in

In the reports of Democratic speeches being made
in States where preliminary fights for the control
OF the next House already are in progress particular
stress laid by Democratic orators upon the Euro
pean war and the evil effect it has had upon busi-
ness The voter, of course is left to believe that
previous to the war declarations of Europe business
in the United States was all that was to be desired
regardless of general complaint from every CORPORA
tion the unemployed, and the constant decrease in
the value OF securities
To blame the war for what has been Going on
for two years is cheap form of demagogy which the
voter will resent. The public does not forget in
mouth, even if the politician does.

Government Ships ! Menace.

Problems forced upon the government of the
United States by the war in Europe are aceumuatine
and delicate task is imposed upon the President and
his counseiors in maintaining an exact neutraIit,
and in reaching solutions so equitable that our i'm
partialty shall not be questioned by the statesmen
and peoples of European nations ablaze with resent
ment one toward the other.
A delegation is reported to be on the way from
Belgium to protest TO this government against vio-
lations of conventions of The Hague by the Ger
mans in dropping bombs from an airship upon
sleeping women and children of Antwerp. Obviously
this government can take no action whatever upon
such protest and it is ineoncevsble that even the
Belgians expect anything more than hearing From
every corner of the come reports alleging
German atrocities and while number of the charges,
including the bomb dropping at Antwerp and the de-
struction of historic and beautiful Louvan are ad-
mtted by the Germans, it is not the part of the
American people pass judgment upon their troops
for the butchery of women and children and the r-
ing upon Red Cross and rescue parties until the
proof is before them. 1t is difficult believe the
stories atributng such savagery to educated and
cultured people Time will prove the truth falsity
of the charges and if true the world at large will
FIX the penalty.
While the United States cannot concern itself
with this phase of the war, a great responsibility
does rest upon it in connection with the proposed
purchase by the government of merchant ships and
its in this respect is being watched jealousy
by the powers at war. Government-owned ships
carrying food supplies to Europe while the war is
in progress suggest possibilities the opposite from
reassuring to the American mind. Nothing else in
the situation appears in the least threatening to
the cordial relations existing between this country
and those at war; but cargoes of foodstufTs for
which Europe will be clamorng and ready to fight
are ahoat in ships owned by the American govern
ment, friction would seem inevitable.
The President is represented as firmly determined
to obtain at this session the necessary legislation
to provide the ships, in spite of pronounced opposi
tion in his party. Difference of opinion exists
as to the actual necessity for the gover1rRnt to go
into the ocean-csrrying trade. 1t isLfoo early to
determine the effect of the recent legislation admit
ting foreign ships to American registry on easier
terms, and in the meantime the indications are that
exports are steadily improving. Quite possibly there
will be imperative need of government ships
Certainly until such need is demonstrated beyond
doubt should proceed with the utmost caution to
invite foreign complications.
The Presidents admirable appeal to the country
for the observance of the stricest neutrality is fresh
in mind and the people have the utmost confidence
that his wisdom will keep the ship of state clear of
but many will enjoy greater peace of
mind if the administration decides not to embark in
the ocean-carrying trade

Beef Cattle in the South.

The plan lately outlined by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to experiment with the rais-
ing of beef cattle in the Southern States is one which
If successful, as it undoubtedly will be- promises the
opening up of a new of wealth to the South
and to have nconsderabe effect on the cost of living
That the production of beef cattle an opportun-
lty the South cannot afford to ignore The Times
Dispatch has more than once pointed out The busi-
ness should have been undertaken in many States
on larger scale long before this without the incen-
tive of successful experiment by the Department
OF Agriculture. However, it not undertaken and
the proposed plan of the Federal government will be
watched with interest and its result is to be hoped
will not be without profit to the South and to the
country.-Richmond Times-Dispatch

The Sufragist Blacklist.

There will be keen interest on election night next
November in the fate of those members of Con-
gress who have been "blacklisted" by the woman
suttragists as foes of the cause There would be
no doubt whatever about what would happen to these
unhappy statesmen if the women in the States re-
sponsible for their presence in Congress could vote
but were that the they would never have been
guilty of such poor politics as to get on the black
list. Presumably the voters in their respective dis
trlcts are not in favor of suffrage therefore
in order to defeat them the women must win bal
lots for the cause in hostile territory which in itself
would be an achievement without regard to the pun
ishment inflicted the culprts, the primary object
of the campaign.
An impartial survey of the situation however.
would indicate that the suffragsts will not achieve
greatly, no matter how just their cause PERHAPS
some of the blackisted will be kept at Itome.
but it will be for other reasons than their cold
ness toward suffrage. Quite likely there will be
a resentment on the part of their constituents at
an attack on them on such grounds especially when
it is remembered that they were detained in Wash
ington martyrs to public duty, while the campaign
against them was being waged.
Upon the whole, the action of the suffragsts must
be regarded precipitae Their persistent vet dig
nifed tactics have produced remarkably successful
results for the cause in recent years. They. have
every reason to feel encouraged; only they must
not spoil things by being in too much of hurry
for the final victory

Gunmeu in Congress.

When Martin W. LIttletoon was a
member OF the House OF Representatives
In Washington, there was elected to that
body a Democrat who had been tried for
murder and acquitted. As the case had
been given national and even interna-
tional publicity. some OF the other Demo-
Gratis in the House met one evening. and
had a discussion as to whether or not
IL would blight the sturdy followers OF
Thomas Jef1,rson to have in their midst
a legislator who had been suspected OF
taking human life.
Littleton. who attended the confer
ence. devoted a lot of time to listening
to the various arguments. Finally, one
Of the leaders turned to him and asked:
Martin. has Congress a constitutional
right to exclude this fellow from the
House?''
LittIeton rose to his feet and displayed
a list OF names
II wouldn't bother about the constitu-
tional law on the subject" he said
smoothly. But, while you gentlemen
have been discussing this profound detail.
l have made a list OF nine Democratic
members OF this House, each OF whom
has killed from one TO three men. I'll
read you the list"
That ended the argument.-The Popu-
lar Magazine.
