THE MEXICAN SITUATION

If 1t should be determined that the United States must send army to Mexico and set that country in order we have done for Cuba and the Philippines there could be better time to do the work than now We have the men, the or ganizaton, the equipment and everything else that would be necessary on hand and the frame of the public mind is such that the job could be performed now without rousing spirit We are prone regard things in relative way, and an adventure in Mexico now would be trivial in comparison upon the occupation of that country at this time warfare.
 Furthermore the beneficient attitude of the United States toward other peoples has now been thoroughly established that other countries, par ticuarly the Central and South American Republics, could not look upon American undertaking to set Mexico in order selfish scheme at National agrandzement. It would be taken for granted that American occupation of Mexico would be only temporary in character and that the chief benefic iary would be Mexico herself The United States would profit only all other countries who trade with the land of Montezuma.
 Mexico has been in turmoil for decade, and, while the situation there has been than at present is still ntolerable The President has caused 1t to be announced that there must be an immediate change. The lives of Americans along the border and of citizens the line must be made No accuse him of not being patient in the premises Many times this country has had ample to invade Mexico. She cannot be accused of looking for excuse pretext to occupy that country For ten years there has not been day to pass when we had not more than that

New Sources of Meat Supply
Seattle Timesl

Seattle Times)
 A fascinating picture of empire reclaimed fo civilization through the reindeer and, more remotely through the muskox, is pictured by Vilhjamur Stef ansson in an interview published elsewhere in tn, Times today.
 His observations and predictions of especia interest to Seattle because he is confident this port will handle the reindeer-meat trade of the future as it has handled that trade to date and with in crcasing herds in the North, the volume of this business will increase year by year.
 In period of approximately twenty years, he points out, the reindeer have increased from 12SO there should be twenty years hence, 5,oo0,ooo to 6000O0 of them in Alaska, practically the limit that the available grazing will support
 Ten per cent. of the herds may be killed off each year without retarding their increase Twenty years hence, thirty-five per cent of the existing herds will be available for packing pur- poses.
 Inasmuch as the dressed reindeer now are worth $50 each and probably will be less valuable in future, the importance of this meat supply to the United States and to Seattle, as the chief port
 stefansson is not the only Northern authority of all Aaskas developments. Officials who have been connected with the Department of Education in the Interior Department, through which the Government has dealt with the Alaska reindeer, also have discussed this matter and in even more glowing terms than the noted explorer.
 The latter directs attention, however to one point that of prime importance-the necessity for improving the reindeer stock by crossing with no more hardy To illustrate the benefits of expert attention in this matter, MT stefansson points to the improvement in the longhorn cattle of Texas during the past two decades
 The musk7ox, he frankly states, is future potential resource To obtain the first herd ami mals will be matter of difficulty, they to be found only in districts remote from human habi- tation. However, he says they tractable un- doubtedy be domesticated readily survive under the conditions the reindeer are more valuable because much larger and because producing, in addition to very fine class of meat, quantity of excellent wool.
 However, many years-four decades Stefansson estmat ates-will be needed to increase the herds to ytpnt fn ma ko fhon ip,nov meat productions but he believes it distinctly pos sibe that, forty hence, they will be an even more important asset to Alaska and Northern Can ada than the reindeer.
 Needless to say, there always will be a market for the meat of both animals in the United States in whatver amount it may be shipped to Seattle or to other packing centers in this country both because of it's palatability and also because recla nation steadily is diminishing area of available cattle range throughout North America

Alaska Needs Roads
(Skagway Alaskan)

(Skagway Alaskan)
 If Alaska only partly developed. it would pay the nations debt. That's not extraya- gant statement, it's a wholesome truth.
 The quicker and better way to develop Alaska, is by roads, The expense would be nominal and the benefit would be general.
 Construction of public highways would bring motor and trucks These vehicles would solve the transportation problems.
 Wagon roads have always first in the de- vclopment of country That is ancient his tory but the growth of motor driven vehicles makes it modern history of the most approved kind
 Millions of dollars should be appropriated by the United States Government for the construction of main line roads in Alaska.

well under way and the versitie Chief Executive has again turned toward domestic problems. The activity and ceerity with which the fight to lower the cost of living is being conducted are remindful of the years of the first Wilson administration when greater progress in solving domestic problems was made than in many previous decades of govern ment
 It also is refreshing to note the disposition of Congress to work hand in hand with the President in his undertaking. Congress has for the moment, at least forgot apparently that we are only few months away from another Presidential campaign and is considering only the fact that the situation which confronts the people demands attention. The lack of partisan spirit, which was so apparent in the first part of the first and first part of the second Wilson administrations, characterzes the
 fight against the high cost of living and 1t is re- freshing example to the people of the country.
