".America For Americans"
THE CALL
The call of the flag is to be re
so on dad to tonight when citizens of
•Skag-way meet in Elks' hall to form
a home guard.
The country is at war to uphold,
the rights of the people, to de
feat autocracy and to make sure
the firm establishment/ of
Such an aim should enlist the
pntire human resources of the coun
try. There is a part for everyone
to plar and he should be ready to
play i«.
Deeds of those at the front may
be more heroic but they are no
mere important than the work of
those who remain at home, sober
ly doing their bits in shop or of
fice or on tie farm. Only by their
patriotic and self-sacity"icing co
ooeration can the army be support
ed and enabled to win a victory.
But, those who remain at home
have another duty. ( They must be
prepared to protect themselves
against any local disturbances.
Though there seems to be no
probability that such will arise
tere, still war-times require pre
paredness for any emergencies that
may arise.
It is with this view that the
organization of the Skagway home
guard has been proposed. it is
hoped fhat no occasion will be
required for the guard to Prove
a defense for the community but
that it no way lessens the wisdom
of its formation.
The training that will be receiv
ed will b« of -value to those wha
join and may be of service to the
country. No one can foresee what
the future holds in regard to the
need the United States may have
for soldiers to wago the war up
on which it has entered.
Only one thing is certain and
that is that this war must end only
with the banishment of autocracy.
The attendance at the rally to
night should show that Skagway
realizes the momentousr.es* of the
time and is ready to do its oart.
THE NATIONAL GAME
The big annual event has oc
curred. Baseball time has come
and the local season has been
opened. i
Reports from the east indicate
the possibility that tixe big leagues ,
may clos0 as a matter of war-time
economy. It is to be hoped that ,
this effort at retrenchment be not i
carried too far. i
Those vllo sta7 home in this ;
war crisis cannot be expected to
put in a El thai? time raising po
tatoes. They will need amusements, j
Lincoln, -when upbraided by sonj# ,
of his cabinet, for reading Artemus ^
Ward when north and south were j
grappling in the great war of the i
rebellion, said he must find gome-4
thing to make him laugh in, order
that he might bear up under the
load of a nation's woo.
No better safety-valve in time
Of war gtreas could be found than
baseball. It is good, recreation both
for those who play and for thse who
fill the bleachers, the fans who
run the game.
So let's be glad that the cry of
"?lay ball!" is again being heard
here.
JOHN BARLEYCORN'S END
Action by the sonate Saturday in
votlDsr against the sale of liquor to
anyone wearing the United States
army uniform foreshadows the
knockout of John Barleycorn by
war.
This may be said to be the coun
try's first victory since it joined the
world war. Realizing that whiskey
do«a not make good soldiers, the
members of the upper house, by
a vote of almost two to one, said
it should not be allowed to handi
cap the army that is being 'raised.
Instead of using valuab)e grain
to produce liquors and beers, that
grain will be devoted to the making
of bread and wholesome foods.
The Senate has put Barleycorn
against the ropes andi he will be
counted out before congress fin
ishes its measures to raise not
only a big army but an efficient
army, < , •
THE WHITE HOUSE HOE
President Woodroy Wilson, be
sides amending to ttie fall-sized Job
the war hag put upon him, expects
this Boring to do his bit with, the
jar don tool that has come to be
the 72-centlmeter gun of prepared
ness. i i
With the President setting the
examole, hoeing should become a
national Spout. It should appeal
especially to golfers, for Mr. Wilson
Id turning to the garden from the
links and replacing the driver with
the hoe. "I'll take you on for
eighteen rows'* ought to be a
good challeng0 and result in just
aa milch sport, and certainly more
blisters than a lite number of holes
Tenuis play errs should also be
able fc- find a place for themselves
in this war-time game. Perhaps
before the summer is over, racquet
wleldtrs of Skagway will be found
in potato patches, "swatting" the
bugs Instead of making smashes on
the court . •

Some of the congressmen at Was]»

servants of the people only during
the 'ew weeka preceding election,
have evidently forgotten that three
weeks ago they voted to declare
the United States in a state of war
against Germany.

WAR WITH PAINT BRUSH
Pot the time being, let us for
get the war with Germany and! start
a war of our own. That is to say
let us start to use a little paint
and brush on our buildings, hous
es and shacks. Let us spruce up
some. ,
Despite the apparent restless
state, we may be in, there ift going to
be some traveling dene the coming
season. Let us make this town
noted for its cleanliness, beauty and
industrial and commercial advant
ages. To that end, w0 must co
operate. Let the women of Ketchi
kan do what they can to help the
men do what they can to improve
the appearance $>f our homes.
