"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
We don't know what it is all
aboii', and from the way that the
Iluby Record Citizen lambaste the
•_<.alleuien, we think that we don t
want to know, but that our read
ers may know how that vaper hands
to some politician or something
else, we reprir.t an editorial which
appeared iQ a recent issue, and
we believe that the editor of that
i>aper is sure some fearless chap.
CAMOUFLAGE
We are tniormeu l"ai »'r. h-w-w
has more friends now than ever
before and that he wishes to thank
tlie Record-Citizen for this in
crease vf prospective voters.
\V ell we dont want any of his
th.uiKs nor any of his good will,
w t. have said- that, aud we now
reiterate that he is an enemy of
'he American people, that he has
rendered and is now renitering the
enemy of the American and Allied'
t verncients far greater service
t-ir.n he could with a rifle and the
uniform of the German army.
\\ e have said and ww repeat
that to cast a vote for eitner him
it Lis associates on the Socialist
ticket is to render aid and> comfort
to the enemy, it is to east your
v-.;t»j for the Kaiser.
The Kaiser cbuld land in New
Yorr narbor tomorrow with an ar
my and Dr. Good would start for
'he North Pole or the forest of the
Kj.per Kuskokwim. Any man "who
knows him at all will not <fc>ubt this
fact; many have heard him say so.
lie has no patriotism, no love of
Ciiuutry, or pride of nationality,
i!i.; only thins we can compare
him fo w hen thinking of him as an
American is a Missouri mule, who
has neither pride of ancestry or
houe of posterity.
We repeat, to cast your vote
even in a primary election for Dr
Good is »o spit on the American
"a-*, and to give actual aid* and
comfort to the enemies of you$
country. For the reason that he'
i? so dwarfed of soul and perverted'
i i ais ideas that if Lenine suc
cumbs to the attack .of pneumonia
'"rem which he is now suffering, j
Russia can have Good and make a
sti'.l Digger farce of Russian free
dom.
We are just as good sports as
he ever dared- to be so return his
t^iakns with inteest and hereby an- |
nounce that we desire nothing from
r-r. Good except his unqualified
hatred, and when this election is
over and he has a chance, to count
his supporters as he will be aDle
to do on the fingers of .one hand,
then for us he will cease to exist.
WHY ARE PEOPLE LEAVING
ALASKA?
Report reached us the other day
that 1 TOO people on their way to
♦he outside from the interior of ?
A'as<ca had- registered their names '
at one of the Roadhousea between
Fairbanks and the coast up to
Marti 1st.
The question now arises: Why
are Alaskans leaving the country?
It Is true that during the winter
months the chances for work In
Alaska are fewer than in the sum
mer, and report from the ouside
sav^ there is plenty of work for
everybody. However, late arrivals
have another story to tell.
It is true that skilled mechanics
are in demand, but unskilled la*
tv>r has just as hard* a time of it,
as before the war. Another thing,
the wages for common labor is not
i"o high, that it averages up to the
btgh coat of living. Furthermore,
if a man is lucky enough to get a
job he doesn't know how long it
is going to last, he may lose it any
t m« on account of materal not ar
riving in time, or lie may be call
ed out on strike, and we know
that one month on strike will take
a year to make up. In communi
ties where shipbuilding is going on
in J in munition centers, there is
demand for labor, but it is usually
labor that is required, and in most
parts of the country there is a
surplus of unskilled labor. A la
boring man in Alaska is much bet
ter off than his brother on the out
side A workingman in Alaska
makes in most instances, enough
in summer time 60 that he can take
J' easy ana live comioriauiyi mnnj
the winter months, without that
restless search for work of the
wording-man 01* the outside. All
over the East and even in New
York, so the arrivals from the
outside tell th.«re is a surplus of un
skilled labor. • And letters from
the outside tell tis that most of
the men leaving heTe last fall
wil. be jrlati- to get back in the
spr'ng. We atfvlse everyone who
intends going outside looking for
a joo, to think twice before going,

Finland's New Flag.
ThetRusslau revolution will probably
result lu lengthening the list of the
■world's* flags by sewral additions. Fin
land, which, since March, has, ceased
to be a grand duchy and has declared
her independence and status as a re
public, "has now decided on her national
colors. She will have three different
standards: Hie national flag, the flag
of the merchant service, and that of
the pilot and customs services. The
national oolors are those which were
acclaimed at the time of the revolu
tion. the yellow lion of Finland sur
rounded r»y nine white roses on a red
ground. The flag of the merchant
service will have a yellow perpendicu
lar cross on a red ground and In the
top right-land corner, nine white roses
set symmetrically !n three rows. The
pilot and customs services flag will be
the same, except that It will carry the
yellow of Finland Instead Of the white
HOSTS.
Fought With Owl.
An employee of the Helena Land and
TLnmber company near Perkins, a short
distance norrh of Escanaba, Mich., had
a desperate encounter with a huge owl
while walking through the woods late
at night.
His first warning of the attack was
when he was struck on the head and
his fur cap pulled off. The great claws
of the bird next were fastened to his
skull and his face.
After a desperate fight in the dark
the man succeeded In securing a good
hold on the owl and killed It by dash
ing Its head against a tree The owl
is on exhibition at the camp and Is
said to be the largest ever killed In that
vicinity. —^
LIKE HIS IMPERIAL MASTER
Von B ielo\v, Under the Wings of the
German Eagle, Typical as of Ill
Omen to Mankind.
Front Brand Whitloek's story of Ger
man oppression in Belgium In Every
body's Magazine, we take the following
account of a single Incident that oc
curred In May. 1014, lust before the
war. Mr. Whltlock, wfth other diplo
mats. was the dinner guest of Mr. Von
Buelow, the German minister to Bel
glum
"We were standing by a table iu the
corner of the room, and from among
the oh jets d'nrt, the vrfrlous trinkets,
the signed photographs lu sliver
frames, with which it was loaded, he
drew forward a silver bowl that he
used as a cendrlor. As 1 dropped the
ash of my cigar into it. I noticed that
It was pierced on one side near the rim
by a perfectly round hole, the jagged
edges of which w.-re thrust iuward;
plainly n bullet hole; doubtless it had
a history. 1 asked him. •
" 'Yes, a bullet hole," he said. 'IB|
China it stood on my desk, and one
day during the riots a bullet came
through llie window and went right
through It.'
"Several of the guests pressed up to
see: such a bowl with Its jagged bullet
hole and a history was an excellent
subject for conversation; the German
minister had to recount the circum
stances several times.
" 'I have never bad a post,' he said,
'where there has not been trouble; In
Turkey it was the revolution; in China
it'was the Boxers. I am a bird of 111
i>men.'"
Mealie Pudding.
I.ike the haggis, the mealie pudding
Is to the Sassenach a Scotch delicacy
I the origin of which is wrapped In deep
j est mystery. The other morning two
| travel-stained Knglish Tommies drop
ped into the rest room at Aberdeen
station for some much-needed refresh
ment. They were heartily welcomed
by the ladies in charge, and in a few
minutes a succulent mealie pudding,
piping hot. was placed before each.
Both had seen more than a bit of life
since joining the army, but a mealie
! pudding was one of the things hlther
| to undreamed of in their philosophy.
; Determined, however, to brave the un
| known, one of them boldly cut his pud
! ding in two. scooped out some of the
| contents, and took a mouthful. As he
j slowly masticated the oatmeal a look
I of contentment came over his features,
j "Go ahead. Bill!" he exclaimed. "It's
i only good old porridge in a 'tank.'"

Chasing the Calory.
| The first step toward spreading the
mysterious cult of flip calory lias been
taken at nn opportune time. Unhappy
man. deprived of his daily beefsteak
and forced to subsist on corn muffins
I In which many alien hands have ex
perimented. may derive a modicum of
comfort from the chase of the calory.
