Americans love a brave maa and
they love a fighter. When It's all
over it doe m't matter «> much that
the hero was not invariably- right.
Wag he honest, and did he "play
the game"? are the questions that
Americans will ask. From the days
when in ifharacteristlcally Roosevelt

His "lead" was straight from the

recovery. He was the founder °f a

SHU' KM OUT
W)jo are the Bolshevik now rais
ing disturbances iu the United
Stat' 3s. Is it real Bolsheviki, which
is a Russian word melius "belong
ing xo the majority," originally the |
left. or radical wing of the Kussian
So iialisr. Party, or is this group of
m> ?n a gane of hoodlums—I. W. W.
— -anarchists—nihilists?
It might be timely to make an
i' »vestigation. The federal govern"
i aent should round Up the 3,000
'•"Bolshevists" who lately created a
disturbance in Seattle, and after se*
curelv locking them under guard in
an internment camp, examine each
man separately in order to ascertain
ag to whether or not he is an A*
merican citizen. The worfl* of the
man should not be taken off hand,
but ha should be investigated. If
he ciaims to have been horn in the
United States, then the record of
his bir>> should be looked up and
his statement verified. If he claims
to have ta-kea the necessary steps
to become a citizen of the United
States, (he records should be search
ed, as to «he truthfulness of his
assertion.
Then it would be time for the gov
J ernmeni to get an example by de
porting all those men who took part
ia the Seattle demonstration, who
had not orovea that they were f
either native born American citi
zens, Or ha<>; acquired their citi- I
■ensalp through legal process.
Were U known that this nation
would brook, no inierfereiH e to its
peace, and dignity by foreigners,
th&je same foreigners would be
mighty leery about starting things
here.
Righl here in Skagiway there are
several "Bolsheviki" who are only
awaiting a chance to start things. It
is an easy matter for the clerks of
the election to name them. Thej
have nevef voted, simply because
they are not entWed to vote. They
do not believe in the ballot. They
believe 'n terrorism and bloodshed.
They do not want to become citi
zens. Send them back to the place
where Ihey cam© from. This free
United States, with its glorious Re
publican constitution should not
tolerate them. Let them go back
and Quarrel and fight, murder <*nd
pillage., The people of the United
States, the citizens of this great
nation, do not want them.
A DEBT TO HEROES
The Fifth Liberty Lo«iu will be
known as the Victory Loan.
Victory is not merely a matter of
Jubilation, accepting surrender of
a beaten foe and dropping the
gun to take up the plow shaje in
the furrow where it stocd when t"he
call to arms came.
The Victory Loan is one of the
many great obligations that como
to the victors. President Woodrow
Wilson aud the members of the A
meriean pecae delegation are u°w
In France looking after the world
... .1 . to
prepare to pay iu small measure
tile debt we owe our khaki aud blue
clad champions.
A l#rge part of the money to be
raised in the Victory Loan cam
paign next April will be used for
the rehaoilitation of our wounded
men. The government will do its
utmo3t to restore every wounded
American soldier and sailor to
health act1 self supporting activity.
When the wounded man has been
given complete medical and surgi
cal treatment he will be considered'
by the Federal Hoard for Vocational
Education. If his disability pre
vents return to work he left at the
call "of th» government a wide choice
of occupation is open to him.
If the injured man needs an ar- (
tificial limb or appliance of any •
sort the government will provide it. I
Until big spe ial treatment or'
training ends he will receive regu
lar compensation and the family
will receive the allotment. The
war risk insurance will be pai<j un
til the end of the vocational train
ing if the course is elected with
out necessity, but in this case the
allotment will not be paid' the family.

pled- sad beggars made so by a* un*

YIELD OF ALASKA MIXES *
DURING 1918
The mines of Alaska yielded in
11)18 products worth $28,900,000,
according to preliminary estimates
prepared by G. C. Martin, of the
U. S. Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior. Although Alaska
mining wag so adversely affected
bv shortage of labor and shipping
and hig*- cost of supplies that the
value of the output fell nearly $12
000,000 from 1917, the production
was stil' far greater than any year
before 1915. Alaska's chief min
eral product is copper, of which
69,425,000 pounds, valued at $17.*
180,000, was mined in 1918. The
gold output, worth $10,000,000
of whlci pJaosrs yielded $6,100,000,
waa $4,650,000 less than In 1917
and wa* the smallest since 1904.
The mining of 77,000 tons Of coal,
worth $435,000, is significant a«
the onl" marked advance oreir the
production of 1917, as by far
thn largest coa] output in Alaska
mining and as the probably begin
ning o' a substantial ocai industry.
Alaska also produced in I9I8 sil
ver worth $870,000; tin worth
$90,000; lead worlh $85,000;
chrome ore, tungsten, palladium,
platinum, and antimony aggregate
$117,000; and petroleum, marble,
gypsum, lime, and brlck^ aggreagt
tng $120,000. The total yield or
Alaska mines since 1880 hag been
aiore than $419,000,000. or

aud copper $105,800,000.
