 It is but a question Of time when the gush about seh-government in Mexico must yield to the inexor- able logic of facts and The people of Mexico are no filter for sef-government than the tribes among Western reservations, and they will never be. Meanwhile the survival of the fttest is still the law equally of nature and nations.

Of course there are more ways than to kill cat We all know that. Likewise there are more ways than gain point; and while all the ways whereby cat is killed may be honorable we cannot say as much about all the ways employed to gain point For instance: There prohibition ists scattered all over Alaska organizing for the ing campaign against the vets, yet meetings are held. the is pleaded. Its good points dis cussed only from house to house in little corners. Organizers working always the gum shoe" order getting women and children to sign pledges and all that
 The point that these organizers wish to gain is honorable commandabIe, and worthy of the best efforts of the best people, but the ways employed to gain it ate ways that will command respect They savor too much of T know what is best for you. consequently. there is need for you think for yourself"
 Roosevelt has done more to reform the cheap politicians than any ten presidents; and he did his work right from the shoulder. He travelled with gum shoe. He hammered right and left That is why he is so popular with the masses. Billy Sunday has done more for the prohibition cause than army of these would-be organizers could do in thousand years; and he wore gum shoe either. He edu- cates the people to his way of thinking by showing them tie evil of liquor. That is what call an honorable way of gaining point.

 Suppose it to be proved beyond all reasonable doubt that the German government is determined to keep up the submarine attacks upon unarrned mer chant vessels approaching leaving the ports of its enemies, without warning, without examination and without any attenpt at saving lives giving them chance to escape; in short, in defiance of all rules and all protests previous what the neutral natiSrs going to do about it? What is the United States going to do? Such reckless warfare will be evidence of desperation on the part of the nation resorting to it, but it cannot frighten it's enemies avert ultimate defeat It cannot make terms of peace easier It rather demonstrates the necessity of union of all civilized nations against such methods in defense of the interests of humanity. firm and positive stand should be taken against this form of barbarism in time of war. help in stopping it.
