Mexican people can not do less than
feel certain resentment against
the Government Of the United states
because in all our history Wash.

are enemies OF the Catholic Church
and with this favor they have

BY the Catholic episcopate as ex-
planatory cf the epigcopate's attitude
towards the United States Govern
ment for its failure to intervene In
the present religious controversy In

declarations made by President
Gales in his exposition Of the re-

that "the church commands obedi-

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

Many, many moons ago, We made a last resolution and we have kept it faithfully and herewith pass it along as being the easiest of any to keep: We resolved to resolve no more.
 As each year rolls along we hear men resolve to quit smoking, using tobacco, and a lot of minor habits that are of harm to ourselves more than to our fellow men. We even make up our minds to join church es and to give them our active sup port and to give freely to Near East Relief or for the conversion of the foreign heathen.
 The keeping of such long range resolutions are of no effort to most who make them so We offer to our friends and others the determina- ton at which we arrived when we no longer made resolutions. It is simple and a daily effort to make this world better for my having lived in it. That my life shall be so lived that others will say am better man for having known him. So tba, they wit. say he was good citizen cnd he cd lis bit in making his oou1try tn living in.
 In ether worG cur New Y5ars' resolution is nothing but a dai determination to live for God and Country.

AIMIE SEMPLE MCPHERSON

There is being passed around in Petersburg a copy of a newspaper published in San Diego, California, containing the article which lead to the million dollar libel suit by the pastor of the Angeles Temple. That any man would stoop to the publication of such a contemptible and scurrilous article is past the understandings the Alaskan. That such an attack upon woman has not been decried by the valiant champions of good names in Alas ka is another mystery; that the writer of the article calls himself man is still another mystery. The cnly justification for such an ap- rellation no doubt is due to the fact that he wears brooches.
 We have no sympathy for the double standard of morals Even were this unfortunate woman guilty of unbecoming conduct dur ing her disappearance one is not justified in condemning her alone and making her to bear the burden of the punishment. The very men who condemn her in loudest tones 1uake possible the White Lights of Restricted Districts And that is the truth be it 'in Alaska or the States "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" and while He who spoke thise words wrote iii the sands, the accusers of a wo- man slinked off in shame And we linen" of today have need of being ashamed of pointing the finger of scorn at this woman while we cover our own sins and trans gressions by taking good bath a clean shave and passing the collec- tion plate.
