EDITORIAL PAGE
THE NOMIN ATION'S OF
J, F. Pl'UH AND C. F. CHEEK
Die nomination of John F. Pugh
by President Wilson as collet-tor of
customs tor the first district of the
Territory of Alaska should meet
with the hearty endorsement of
people throughout the district, for
the reason that Mr. Pugh has been
a resident of Alaska for many years,
has been identified with the customs
service during the entire time and
has proven himself a competent and
faithful official.
While the Daily Alaskau would
have, for personal reasons, prefer
red to hear of E. J. Shaw's nomina
tion for the position, we nevertheles
Lave 110 hesitancy in saying that Jl£
■-'ugh's selection is a good one, and
hope for its confirmation by con
gress, as there is small doubt that
it will be.
Of Mr. C. F. Cheek's nomination
by the President for the United
states Marshalship for the first dis
trict, it is rather early for comment,
as the rumored offering of his
name has not yet been officially
confirmed. Inasmuch, however, as
he is an old Alaskan of exception
al business ability and good repu
tation, we hope the rumor may
prove true.
HOW THE NAVY MAY
COt*XT IX MEXICO
Mexico, in the larger sense, is
a nigh country, says the Cleveland,
Ohio, Lealer. That is, of course,
topographically speaking. The gren:
er part of the population lives on th
plateau, about a mile above the lev
el of the sea. Only a few cities
and towns, most of them small, lie
within reach of the most powerful
guns of any fleet.
i
For that reason and because It
' is not characteristic ot the Mexican
liiiud to sense vividly troubles far
away or out of range of the physi
cal vision, it may be asked what tho
| navy can be expected to accomplish
| it' force has to be used in settling
ihe ugly problems south of the Rio
! Grande. It cannot climb the nioun
1 tain barriers between tho sea and
Huerta's chief strongholds. It can
not make its presence felt as a fight
I ing machine, far from the ports,
j The answer is that the navy can
. cut off J he supplies of arms, am
munition and many - other things
vital to the prosecutiou of a serious
war, which the Mexican government
has been getting from foreign coun
I tries. It can stop the foreign trade
! of the Mexican Republic by block
1 ading the coast. In that way the
navy can go far toward insuring tho
speedy downfall of Huerta by bring
ing about conditions iu Mexico so
intolerable that the people will
quickly revolt gaaiust the tyrant re
sponsible for their existance.
In these ways the navy alone
I might crush the Huerta govern
ment. It might, unaided, compass
| the downfall of the bloody despot
in power in the City of Mexico. But
. r.here will be no disposition in Wash
ingtou to take such chances and let
j t war drag along in that manner.
The army will have its work cut out
from the beginning, if the President
and Congress decide upon forcible i V
tervention.
