SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

Listen to the voice Of an American patriot who has lain for three years in his grace. We refer to Francisco l. Madero. the only President of Mexico since the dawn of its independence who came into of flee by constitutional means. Provisional President de la Barra publicly pointed out at his inauguration. One of the most precious possessions of the cause of liberty and ordered government south of the Rio Grande is Maderos book "The Presidential Succession in 1sios This is rough translation of passage from the introduction
 party founded upon and cemented
 by principles must be as immortal as
 the principles t procaims Many Of its
 members may succumb; but the principle
 never succumbs and ever remains as
 beacon to guide the steps Of those who
 wisl to labor for the good of their coun-
 try. it always serves as point of con
 centration for al noble ambitions. all pure
 patriotisms
 All political history bears testimony to the truth oi these ringing words
 The Democrats Of Alaska would do we'll to take heart these words of Madero- We cannot afford 10 permit the Democratic convention to become con- test among men or factions We must consider only principles and the opportunity continue the Demo cratic party as an instrument Of service. Men should not be selected for place of responsibility to gratfy pleasure power desire for prestige or honor Men should be selected for service account of their avail ability and capacity to serve.
 Therefore delegates should be selected to attend the Territorial convention who will look upon that conference as an opportunity do something worth while for the Territory of Alaska and for their cOun- try The men who may be selected as nstrumentali- ties-as candidates for public office and as leaders in the orgauization-should be chosen with the wei fare of Alaska and the need to conserve the Demo cratic party as an active militant organization to do public good solely in mind.
 Every effort should be made to secure the pres enee at the convention of as many of the clearest thinking Democrats of every community as possible men who understand Alaskan conditions. who will forget self and keep the Democratic party clean and useful All the leaders should be in the convention and all should steadfastly refuse to recognize as far as possible the existence of factions personal differ ences anywhere.

 The trouble with the Dispatch in discussing gov ernmental matters in Alaska is one of two things; It is densely ignorant or it refuses to tell tre truth That is not The Empires position at all The Empire contends and Delegate Wickersham admits that We cannot get Statehood until Alaska grows and develops some more Delegate wickersham contends and The Empire admits that we will be ready for Statehood by the time we can get It. The Empire contends and Delegate wickersham admits-by impli cation at least-by his introduction of fairly satis factory full Territorial form Of government bill in Congress and in his open letter in which he places that bill first among the things he stands for that we need full Territorial form of government NOw-be fore Statehood comes
 These are the positions taken by the Democratic conventions at Valdez and at Skagway in 1912 and 1914 Most of the influential men who participated in those conventions supported Territorial form o government for Alaska when wickersham was fight ing against it or urging partly elective legislative commission for the Territory and later those of them who could assisted Delegate wickersham in securing the passage Of his first step" Territorial government s.D. and parted company with him on :he issues wher he refused to take the next step.

LAURA JOHNSON'S
VERDICT SET ASIDE
U. S. District Court Reverses Recent
Decision in $4,000 Breach of
Promise Suit.

BOSTON, Oct. II. = The verdict of
$3,625 awarded last May to Laura l..
Johnson of Minneapolis, formerly q
University of Vermont student, in her
$4,000 breach of promise suit against
Rev. Charles Chase Wilson, rector of
the Church of Our Saviour of Ros-
lindale, Mass, has been set aside by
Judge Morton of the United States
district court, in an opinion I'M which
he states that Fthe weight of the cvi-
dence was so clearly and overwhelming
~ against the plaintiff as to indicate
that the verdict in her favor must have
been due to sympathy or prejudice
Otherwise the opinion of Judge Nor
ton was to the effect that: ''No engage
ment to marry between the parties was
publicly announced or generally under
stood to exist among their friends and
acquaintance. There is no evidence Of
any understanding that the alleged en-
gagement was to be kept secret, nor for
any reason why it should be kept secret
if it existed There is no evidence of
any public conduct by the parties, from
which an engagement of marriage can
be inferred. There is no evidence that
the alleged engagement ever was
referred TO by the defendant in the
/ presence of a third person, or by any
third person in his presence. There Is
no reference to it in writing by the de
PENDANT nor any letters indicating
laffection from hitn~to the PLAINTIFF Her
father and mother never mentioned the
alleged engagement to him nor he TO
them s.
1T seems very unlikely that an en-
gagement of marriage, not understood
to be secret, could have really existed,
without evidence of it at some of these
points. Moreover, besides this absence
of proof, the plaintiff S claim, both as
to the express and as to the implied en-
| gagement, is inconsistent with much
in the conduct of both parties that was
clearly established, and with significant
facts to which she herself testified. Her
testimony as to the alleged engagement
| is direct and positive. but it is without
substantial confederation; is rendered
improbable by many facts and eircum-
stances, and is denied by the defend
ant. .
Miss Johnson is now in Minneapolis.
| Her local counsel, Ralph H. Willard, said
that he was surprised at Judge Nor
ton S ruling, and that an action relative
to a new trial was cup to her.

E BRATTIERORO REFORMER, TUESDAY

earlier administration, Republican in
name and character.
- Mr.. Cleveland in the strike at Chi
cago, gave notice to the strikers that
all the power his administration could
exert would be exerted to maintain
the supremacy and execution Of the
law, and that any violation of it by the
strikers of their friends would be re-
sisted, or, if need be, prevented by
force of arms. The strike was quelled,
and peace and order prevailed.
I'm the great strike of 1916, the
striking labor unions stood with the
club of force in their hands, and the
President and his administration and
congress were quelled, and made haste
to come to time, as in the conduct of
a prize fight.
''Mr. Olney, in his article, appears to
think that the Republican members of
congress were to blame in not resort
ing to what is called a flibuster to
save the administration from its own
evil legislation. But what duty did the
Republicans owe to an administration
that had been employing itself in find
ing ways to satisfy the demands OF
the labor unions without telling them
as the real Democratic President Cleve
land did, that the law would be en-
forced and that every manner OF
breaking it would meet with Cleveland
like opposition and punishment.
81 cannot agree with Mr.. Olney thai
| flibustering is even in the presen
congress recognized as a legitimat,
means of defeating legislation desired
/ by a majority.

MAINE EXPLOSION PUZZLES.

Rival Fishermen's Row.

EAST MACHIAS, Me-, Oct. lin
vcstigation OF the explosion which de-
stroyed a fish shack at the entrance
of the East Maehias river Saturday
morning has failed to determine its or
igin. That dynamite or some high cX-
plosivo was placed there is established,
but whether ii was kept in storage or
put there to destroy the building has
not been asccrtained.
The theory suggested as most prob
able was that the shack was deliber-
atcly blown up. Warnings had been sent
to Carroll Dennison, owner of the
shack, not to build any more, it was
said. Dennison said Yesterday that he
had no idea who was, responsible foI
the warnings or the, explosion, lie kept
no explosives in the shack. he said.
The shack is located where only YES
sells of Iightest draft, such as motor
boat or tender, could reach it from the
sea at high tide. 1t was compare

for any considerable stores.
