FOR THE SOUL OF THE NATION

Preparedness would much for the soul of civil life would be thereby greatly increased He would be trained to realize that he is partner in this giant democracy and has duties to the other part tners He would acquire discipline. He would first learn how to obey and then how to command. He would acquire habits of order, of cleanliness, of selfcontrol of selfrestraint, of respect for himself and for others.
 Every one would serve; rich and poor man would share the dog tent, carry the same bur dens on the hikes, and undergo the training; and this would tend toward national cohesion and the military training could go hand in hand with industrial training and training in good citizenship. The whole system would be planned, the dem ocraces of Switzerland and Australia with special regard to the conditions and the needs of the far nler and working man. The average citizen would become more efficient in his work and better man in his relations to his neighbors. We would se- cure far greater social and mutual understanding and genuine efficiency among our citizens in time of peace.
 In time of we would put back of the navy and of the regular army the weight of the whole nation. With the navy and the very small reguar army asked for, only 250,OO0 men, would be able to meet sudden emergencies; and behind the army and navy would stand people trained and so fitted that if the demand was not merely to meet a sudden emergency, but great and long continued strain, our citizens would be able to furnish within reasonably short time the number of neces- sary to meet this strain.-Theodore Roosevelt.

WITH THE COMING OF SPRING

With the coming of spring may expect to see thousands of visitors from all over the states look ing for opportunities to invest little money in a home or enterprises of some kinds. From letters of inquiries and requests for copies of the Progress Miner with the never failing mention that We intend going to Alaska in the spring" received with every mail we are led to believe that Alaska will get a real boom this coming season. and should prepare for it.
 There are many things that should be considered by the residents of this community, provided we have the real interest of town at heart In the first place. Ketchikan is the gateway to Alaska the very first place that the newcomers will look and scrutinize, and if the first impression is favorable, it will lead to inquiries. For instance, set tier will ask the value of real estate such build ing lots etc If the price appears high, it will create a feeling that unreasonable. On the other hand if make it appear the contrary, We at once create a friendly feeling that may help later. It is folly to lose the things we might have now for the sake of a dream of possible great things to come. Real estate values already too high here. If want to build town, must encourage home seekers, and there is nothing that will drive away homeseekers quicker than high price real estate The same rule applies to mining property. Prospectors hang on prospect asking prohibitive prices for mere hole in the rock, consequently the moneyed men steer clear and the countrys lay dor mant just because we want to 'hog" it all. If we want to settle the country, must prepare to give not only take Ketchikan has the best future of any town in Alaska In climate, mining, fishing, agri-

the government would strongly fortify all assailable positions and as result, the Mexican problem which has been in existence for 75S years, would be solved and removed from the sphere of calcu- lation.'
 There' are many other members of Con- gress who agree with the views of the Alabama senator. It is the practically unanimous conclusion of all men con- nected with the government that the proper treatment of the Mexican dis ease" cannot be concluded prior to the passage of many years. In this connec- tion, an officer of the regular army wis., iting in Washington on leave of ab- sence from the border, was asked tonight by correspondent interviewing him:
 Major, how many years, in your opin- ion, will the United States require in the complete subjugation of Mexico-that is, the subjugation to such an extent that there would be no periodical and spas modic uprisings?"
 Without a moments hesitation, the of ficer replied:
 "A generation, at least"

UNDERWOOD TALKS

UNUERWOOU IALkS
 Senator Underwood of Alabama, dis cussing this problem today with the cor respondent of The Age-Herald, said: T am not an altruist to the extent of be-, lieving it would be right for the United States, having subjugated Mexico, to withdraw it's armies and leave that coun- try in practically the same state as far as lack of government is concerned, as it is today.
 Tt is true that the armed forces of Mexico would be crushed and scattered, if not destroyed. However, without the establishment of a strong central gov ernment. practical impossibility, it would be only a matter of time before that nation would be seething again with countless revolutions. The American bor- der which in summer can be crossed without the dampening of foot, nat urally would be again, as in the recent pas:, subjected to the indignities of ire sponsible bandits And then this gov- ernment would be confronted with the same old trouble
 Tt is my opinion that the United States government once in Mexico. with the sword drawn, will be there to stay. The work in hand will of necessity be extended throughout a number of years. When the task in every sense of the word is completed, the government ol the United States should take immed- fate steps 10 provide against the recur- renee of the present lamentable situa- ton.
 This could be done only in one way for there must be between the two countries a practically impa ssable bar rier Instead of the Rio Grande, the border must be 300 miles to the south ward, in the mountainous section. With this as the frontier of the United States

"THE SPIRIT OF AMERICAv

try"
 THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA" Before making his address the nomi- nee had listened to a speech on "The Spirit of America" by Secretary of the Interior Lane. MT. Lane said that sad, lugubrious declarations in New Eng land newspapers that Americans were losing their national spirit and were becoming soft, self-satisfed and weak lings" had pained him; that the Ameri- can spirit of achievement was as strong today as ever and that there had been no weakening in national spirit or low erng of national ideals since the birth of the republic. The nominee took up the train of thought
 T am here," he said, "as member of the class of 'S1-a class once called the smallest and sorriest in college. We did not have in those days the things you have now. We did not have swim ming pool, gymnasium. magnificent dormitories.

 When I come back to Brown, I am not thiking of buildings as my shrine.
 am thinking of men, college men,
 warm blooded, true hearted American men, having freedom of speech and freedom of discussion, having capacity of democracy to deal with problems which our democracy is now facing and must settle."
 MT. Hughes address, intended for the men of Brown university, was devoted almost wholly to Brown traditions and to recalling incidents of 32 years ago when he attended the university. "I merely want to say this informal
 word to you," he said. that as an old
 graduate. for I am here only in that character, I wanted a draught from

Later the nominee held a conference with George Won L. Meyer, former Secretary of the Navy, who. fresh from a conference yesterday with Colonel Roosevelt and others at Oyster Bay. sought MT. Hughes here. Mr. Hughes declined afterwards to discuss the con ference and MT. Meyer left the building undetected
 After shaking hands with 140O re- publicans at the Young Mems Repub- l lican club at o'clock the nominee was the dinner guest tonight of Gov ernor Beeckman. There were 19 other guests, mostly leading residents of Providence, After the dinner MT. Hughes was guest of honor at an informal re-

This time he was more adequately guarded, but still un- handcuffed. On one side of him walked Bodeker, on the other Fred McDuff Be- hind came Daily, Cole and Will Jordan. Brooks evidently had just confidence in his guards, for he manifested not the slightest trace of nervousness. The party of officers was surrounded by a steadily increasing crowd until when nearing the courthouse it was with difficulty that the crowd could be penetrated. They pushed steadily ahead, however, and reached their goal without a voice being raised. It was situation menacing in it's quiet, but Bodeker with his customary shrewd- ness had not manacled the prisoner, be- lieving that to do so would excite the crowd and make Brooks conspicuous. Brooks concluded his testimony before the grand jury at 3:45 o'clock and was placed in an automobile and returned to Birmingham.
