In giving the reason why an Amer
lean army is in Mexico, the Miami
Metropolis carefully explains that it
is there to guard the Standard Oil
company's oil fields. Our always
earnest contemporary is sometimes
erratic. There are no oil fields in the
part Of Mexico occupied by Pershing's
troops. The said oil fields are some
hundreds of miles distant and have
been at the mercy Of the Mexican
factions for the last four years. An.
American squadron was in their
vicinity in April of 1914, but at the
order Of Secretary Daniels it ran
away out to sea, and left a bunch of
Americans to be saved from massacre
by the German cruiser Dresden. Ac-
cording to the Metropolis and other
sslittle Americans" any citizen of this.

Oil well, or on Hearst's ranch, in

Some southern democratic senator's
and congressman who are fighting the
president on the child labor bill are,
with very poor judgment, trying to
use Mr.. Wilson's stand on equal
suffrage as an argument against the
measure. Mr.. Wilson having indicat-
ed that he thinks the question of
suffrage should be left to the states,
his critics think he is inconsistent in
not requiring the laws against child
labor to be dealt with the same way.
Mr.. Wilson has probably figured out
that tho women want the ballot they
do not need it, while the oppressed
children need the protection of the
federal government.

In case there is split in the party,
and the names of both Knott and
Cats go on the. ticket for the Novem-
Der election, the Star thinks that the
Marion County Democratic Executive
Committee should meet and decide
which Of the two candidates it con-
siders the nominee. We had a fair
election and an accurate count in this
county, and in case the party splits
into factions, there is no reason why
Marion should take orders from
either. In case of such an action by
the committee, the Star will abide by
its decision.

 Beneficial.
JUNEAU TO ATLIN ROAD
Superintendent Hayes Is Estimating Cost which He Believes Would
 Be Small Sum.

J. C. Hayes and w. r. Pendergast. who left Juneau last Sunday for an investigation of the cost and feasibility of putting a road up the Taku River from the mouth of the river to the Canadian Boundary and which is to connect there with a Canadian Government road and con tinuc to Atlin, B. C.. have returned from their trip.
 J. C. Hayes, who is superintend- ent Of roads for the Alaska Road Commission in the First Division stated that the road can be built very cheaply on one side of the river. and that it will open a vast stretch of wonderful country
 "The road can not be built very well on the south side of the river, where 1t was proposed, but on the north side. or the same side of the ,iyer that Juneau is located on, the road can be constructed very cheap ly. That is one of the most won- lerful stretches of country l have seen in Alaska. and have seen the greater part of it Some of the best land anywhere is to be found in the Taku River valley, and with "a road from the mouth of the river and regular boat connection from chere to Juneau, the road would be l wonderful benefit and would open n farming section which would be the equal of the famous Chilkat valley back of Haines, within few years" he said.
 Hayes and Pendergast went to the Canadian boundary and made care ul estimates of the cost of the road md an examination of the course which would be followed by the road. Hayes will. within the next few days. prepare his report on the project and submit it to the Engin- eering Commission at Valdez.
