president Wilson's faith in democ-
racy and the u~nselfshness of the Unit
ed States in international dealings
have been strikingly expressed In his
Mexican policy.
"The presidents demand for Mexico
is-iustice."
The larger phases of the relations Of
the United States with Mexico during
President Wilson's administration. as
well as an interesting and complete
narrative Of events, are presented au-
thoritatlvely in the Mexican chapter
of the Democratic National Textbook,
from which these quotations are made:
"Two considerations have animated
the president In the formulation of his
Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to it throughout his adj
ministration. namely:
1.-THE firm conviction that all nations,
both the, weak and the powerful, have
the inviolable right to control their in
ternaI affairs.
"The belief, established upon the HIS
tory of the world, that Mexico will
never become a peaceful and law abid-
ing n~eighbor of the United States until
she has been permitted to achieve a
permanent and basic settlement of her
troubles without outside interference.
'The Mexican problem in its present
form has existed for the American gov
eminent ever since our frontier was
extended to the Rio Grande. When
the people maintained the peace it was
because they were forced to do so and
not because justice reigned in the land
Thus it was that the history of Mex.
leo, like the history of every aspiring
people, pressed upon President vii
sons consideration the truth that no
permanent good relations could exist
between this great northern republic
and the one Immediately south of US
until she had been left free to put her
house in order. however painful that
process might be and whatever the de
mands it might make upon the for
bearance of the United States. > =
There was a powerful pressure for
war-a terrible war-by a we'll armed
powerful nation against an unarmed,
bankrupt people, exhausted bys five
years of civil strife. but who still re-
tanned enough of patriotic feeling to
unity them against an invader. II
was the old, old question whether the
United States should impose a pence
on Mexico; whether for the sake o:
the interests of a few of It's titizens ii
should permanently suppress Mexico's
approaching toward freedom and sci
government"

Make 1t a National Crusade

One of the Chicago papers has hit
upon an exposure and reform that ought
to be speedily converted into a national
crusade. 1t is entitled, "Useless Laws
Driving Us to L~awlessness." 1t deals
with the appalling increase in arrests in
American cities, and also rural
tiles, due to statute and ordinances that
are the result of reformed-crazed people.
We boast of being a free people, SELL
governed and all that, yet we make
more interference with the liberties OF
people than any other country on earth,
aud we have a record of more arrests and
more men who have been compelled to
look through the steel bars of jaiIs. And
we endure 1T without protest. Most oil
the laws under which these appalling
arrests are made are the f~ulminaiions Of
llaif-diseased brains, men aud women
crazy with the idea OF making Others
conform to their standards Of morals or
even living. We see legislature after
legislature piling OH these useless laws,
and most of us lave become SO cowardly
that We are afraid to protest-some for
fear of being called unprogrsssiv We if we
do not fall into line with each new theory
OF the social reformers.
Those who by reason of balanced
brains ought to be influential at the polls
are apathetic, disguised with the whole
game or merely cowardly-and often
they do not a their money making
processes interfered with-and so it is
that We rave our statutes clogged with
laws that do not represent pnblic senti-
ment or opinion, laws that make GRIM
inals Of thousands of Americans and put
on the stain Of arrest and imprisonment.

COLD WEATHER
 STOPS MINING Crew of Ramsay-RutherfOrd Mine Laid Off Owing to Water Sup
 ply for Mill Being Frozen.

The crew of miners who have been working for the Ramsay-Rutherford mine during the past season, but who were laid off owing to the mill having been closed down by reason of the water supply having been frozen dur ing the recent extreme cold weather, have arrived in town.
 The miners say that the Ramsay Rutherford camp is protected by the hills and that they have not experi- Ienced the high winds which have been raging in Valdez during the past ten days. Freighters are still delivering freight to the property for the com ing summers operations and are making good time with the work. The shipment includes about one hundred and sixty tons of general supplies for the camp.
 The members of the party who came down from the mine during the past few days since the mill suspend ed operations are: l.. D. Peterson, Jim klock, Andrew Markenson, Jos. Johnson, Chas. Johnson, August Johnson, Chas. Bloom, M. B. Vaughn, William Berch, Jack Finnegan, H. M. Sailing and Henry Deyo.
 It is understood that a small crew of miners will be retained at the mine all winter to do development work ne- cessary for next summers operations which will begin with the first sign of water in the spring.
 The mine has enjoyed a very sue cessful seasons run.

ILLINOIS RIVER OVER ITS BANKS
Farmers Are Being Rescued from the Flooded Districts in Small
 Boats-Heavy Loss of Stock

PEORIA, H.. Jan. 4.-The Illinois river, which has overflowed it's banks and inundated wide section of the valley, continues to rise and threat ems the destruction of millions of dol lars worth of property. Farmers in isolated districts are being rescued by small boats. They report that hundreds oe cattle and other stock have perished, as the water covers the valley in many places to depth of from five to ten feet.
 Portions of East Peoria are under water and as the river Is still rising thousands of residents who are threatened with the flood are moving to places of safety. The. floods have been caused by rains melting the heavy snowfall. No relief is prom ised as reports from upper river points all state that heavy rains con- tinue to fall.
 All business along the river has been demoralized as a number of railway bridges and culverts have been washed away. The railroads are reported to have suffered heavy loss- es and many trains are stalled in the flooded districts.

TOL0vANA MINERS
 REVIVE OLD LAW
Will Settle All Disputes as in Days Before Courts Were Establish-

Fairbanks exchanges state that the
 miners located on Mike Hess creek
 and it's tributaries in the Tolovana
 camp have organized an association
 for the prevention of disputes in ref
 erence to mining claims to prevent
 their being involved in litigation. It is in fact, revival of the old time
 miners meetings, customary in the good old days of Alaska, when
 the miners settled things to suit themselves before law and order rul- ed the territory. The new. organization starts off with a membership of one hundred and fifty miners, and it will take twelve to constitute quorum for a meeting when dispute is to be set tiled. The organization will also pro- mote things socially in the camp but will pay particular attention to the development of mining industry.
 The Tolovana district has come to
 be regarded by the miners as the Promised Land" and the miners be- lieve they can settle their differences among themselves better and more easily than they can by taking them to court. During the early days after the establishment of courts the min- |ers' meetings were drowned upon by the officials, but they have come to re- gard the organizations. especially in new camps, as productive of good or der as the members bind themselves to abide by the decisions of the meet ings.

GERMAN ROAD BUILDING
 IN POLAND THOROUGH

NEW YORK: The correspondent of the Associated Press in Warsaw gays that something over million and half dollars have been expend- ed by the Germans since their occu- pany of Poland ill reconstructing the unspeakably bad roads that criss- cross the kingdom at more or less rare intervals, and which was all but destroyed by the artillery fire and by the transportation of big guns, am- munition and food supplies.
 For those in charge of the "Recon- ttruction of Connections between the Armies and Home," the task has grown with each kilometer that the Germans have won from the Rus tians. Prior to the fall of Warsaw there were approximately 1046. kilo- meters (655 miles) of roads to be re-, paired, but when the Russians re- treated to Brest Litovsk and then abandoned that fortress, the mileage increased to 5440 kilometers (3,400 miles) and the difficulties involved grew greater with each additional mile.
 The Germans found, on their ar rival, few so-called imperial roads" which were, for the most part, strips of sand. From the inhabitants or such of them as rematned-they learned that taxes for the upkeep of the thoroughfares had been collected over and over And those taxes were never spent for the purpose intended.

in every complete history of New
Hampshire, New York, or Vermont.
The grantees of Maidstone were
all Connecticut men, and none of
them ever became settlers of the
town, which proved a serious OBJ
stacle to its early settlement, as all
who desired to purchase lands were
obliged to go to Connecticut or New
York for that purpose. This Difficult
ty was removed by proprietary
meetings, held by proxy in the town
after the year 1779-by the allot-
ment of the lands in 1856, and by
the appointment of agents of the
original proprietors resident in the
vicinity.
