THE NEW PRESIDENT.
i
Beginning on the fourth of March, |
next, Mr. Woodrow W'ilson, will as
sume the presidential chair, and wlill
weild the powers of government ac
cording to the lights of the democrat-1
ie party. The issues presented dur-J
irig the late campaign, were clearly j
defined, and the people by their vote:
have tOld Mr. Wilson to go ahead and1
to build his administration upon the j
lines laid out for him by the Baltimore
convention. There can be no doubt
but that Mr. Wilson will hew closely
to tiie lines mapped out by him dur-.
ing the past ninety days days, which'
will mean reduced tariffs, and a1
vat^ring rather to the people than!
the vested interests. That Mr. Wil
son's policy will depar^ widely from I
that of Preidents Taft will go wilh-j
out the saying. Of necessity, it'
liaise be. The policy pursued by'
President Taft, evidently did not meet
with the approval of the voters, savej
in .two states where the results were
largely governed by other considera
tions than the greatest good to the:
greatest number. Mr. Wilson, will
have with him a congress in sympa
thy with his public policy and conse
quently there Is no reason why his1
administration should not be a sue-}
cess, if his policies are Bound, and;
we believe they are. Now that the!
election is over, it would be well i
for us all to forget the heat of the!
past campaign, and devote our sur-j
plus energies, to the upbuildihig of
our community. Upon this subject'
at least we should be able to unite,
and accomplish some real good for,
us all. j
I
THE MEXICAN REVOLUTIQN. j
(
The present revolution in Mexico,
which 5s a n3w phase of the situi
tion in that troubled republic, threat-:
ens to cause intervention by the Uni-|
ted Suites. It is known that President
Taft is being urged <o call a specBal
session of Congress to deal with the
situation, but the indications are that'
he will take no action unless thje sLt-J
tlon. unless the situation becomes
I
iO l IMC DU*
i becomes
million becom* s more acute.
The latest uprising is headed by!
Felix Diaz, nephew of the president j
who was ousted by Pnesdient Madero.
It is not explained in the news re-j
f.orts why Senor Diaz has headed a!
revo'utionary movement, unless an !
explanation !s involved in the Btate-<
ncnt that he had declared himself |
to be provisional president, appointed j
a caL'fne and set up a capital at :
Vera Cruz. The main cause for trou |
ble in the neighbor republic at pre- j
sent seeing to be the ambitions of
leaders who are willing to plung<* the
country into new disorders in the
hope of gaining person-il ndvan age.
There seems io be no general gr'ev
nnee or concerted effort at ■Accom
plishing any definite purpose in M'X-j
ieo. There is dlssatfofaoMon ami dis
order, but no one socins to have
made out a csise against the fed-'
eral government, such as would war-1
rant the |>'ople in tolerating revolu
tionists. No one seems to know i
jttSf why there should be outbreak
after outbreak in thn* di'ffeiVnt
parts of the country. There seems
to be little or nothing to connect
one with th© others. The people ar<
not fighting for any fundamental prin
ciple. They seem to foe simply fol
lowing tho lead fo disturbers. It
is unfortunate that President Madero
and his forces arc not strong enuogh
to stamp out such demonstrations so
promptly and effectively that both
the people and prospective leaders
would have proper respect for the
government and law and order.
Whmi the governor of North Car
olina was recently making democrat
ic speeches in Knnsftn, hp wan,
thanks to modern scientific improv
ements, able to keop up a steady
conversation wi/th his confrere from
Booth Carolina.
The Vdtfcr# took the word* of "Tift
4jud RooaeveU, when their ctme to
Okf (AKIOMm
U'^bas been rather a strenuous life
for the presidential candidates. Roose
elt was shot, Wilson was thrown
from an automobile and Taft was
snowed under. . At leas£ this is
•the first time the latter has taken
anything that bore the faintest re
semblance of Alaska.
Public sentiment Jn Valdez is a
bout Hke elsewhere. On Election
day, three hundred and forty-two men
cast their preferential ballots for
president, of which Wood row Wdlson.
received 178, Roosevelt 84. Taft, SO.
Debs, 49, and Chapin, 1.
A railroad to the interior appears,
to be juBt as important a subject as
is the question of who is gohig to
fill the offices and be kicked fromj
pillar to postJ for four >iears following J
r
And now the candidates are look-|
ing up the outlying precincts for1
tliedr ultimate consolation. To some!
Knik, Sunrise, Afognak and Kodiak
look like important voting places.
It does appear that some men can be
elected by appearing upon one ticke-t
only while others are ignominiously
defeated wJth their names on every'
ticket appearing.
It is very difficult to find a man |
this morning who expresses the1
least surprise at yesterday's election, j
"It just had to coine,' is the way:
they express it.
Should the Republicans wish to.
go in mourning, they will find t he j
ashes in the neighborhood of Kodiak. i
They can pick up the sacks in any
old place.
I
Now that the loavos and fishes aivj
in sight, there will be more demo-1
crats turn up than there were dem
ocratic votes in the last August flec
tion.
Indications are that the Non-partLza
ticket was elected in the First Ju
dicial Division. That must be shock
ing news to Emery Valentine.
Just to think of it. All -those
progressive figure's have to-be
throwjn in the waste paper basket.
Judging from his looko, Taft is no
sprinter. The elerticn returns give
the same line of thought.

The fountain pen is useful to
all our human tribes; it's bet
ter. than the goosequills used hy
our ancient scribes. It's bought
by Christmas shoppers to give
to Uncle Heck, so he can puk"h
a stopper down in a bottle's
neck. Tye bought about a doz
<>11 at Jimpson's notion
store, and uncle, aunt and cousin
gave me a dozen more; and if
I do not lose them they are a
boon, you'd think; but when I
want, to u«e them they're always
jout of ink. And if some ink still
lingers inside the blamed ma
• chine, it gets upon my fingers
nod stains me red op green. If
I am in a hurry it rends my
|bosom then; there's nothing else
can worry man like a fountain
pen. I twist it and I shake it,
Jand turn the thing around, and
I then pel mad and break it and
I stamp it in the ground. A foun
tain pen would please me, and
fill me with delight; of trouble
it would ease me, if it. wonld
only write. The fountain pen is
handy for pushing corks. T think;
it. surely is a dandy at. splash
ling you with ink; it has a dozen
features eoniiuending it to men,
hut no well balanced ereatnre
I would use it as a pen!—Walt Ma
son.
