"OLD GLORY"
'America For Americana"
When tcday's issue or the Daily
Alaskan goes on the press, and the
filial telegraph has been put in
tyne ami the final proof of the lo
cah has been corrected, and the ar
rival of the nest boat, and the de
parture of the same has been duly
chror.icted, and the thousand and
one matters incident to editing this
ptper has been disposed of,, the
dulv wnith (Jack Keller) has
been burdened with, for the past six
months will be shifted to the shoul
ders of uji other WE, in the person
o* Prank O. Hammond, who comes
to Alaska a cheechako from the
sunny clime of California.
Mr. Hammond comes from the
Golden State frejrh with ideas of
progressiveness, bubbling over, in
fact, with ideas of the vastneas and
i> issibilities of the greatness of
thp resources of this great north
land, aud it is he who will in fu
ture divert your thought into new
channels whereby these resources,
of Alaska Territory in general,
and Skagway in particular, may be
broush' to your attention in such
a manner that the benefits accruing
from this development may redound
la your benefit in u substanital
manner..
W'o (J. M. K.) have wept with
you over your sorrows; we have
smiled with you in your time of joy,
and we have boosted with you in
vcur efforts 'o better the com
munity, and now we leave you and
asV that you extend to our suc
ces r, Mr. Hammond, the cordial
support we have at all times en
joyed at your hands, and we bes.peak
tor him a continuance of that
friendliness which we have enjoyed,
and which has made our trials and
tribuafcons and labors all the more
pleasurable in our sincere efforts
'o mee* the requiremnts w-hich. have
been imposed upon us.
HOME GUARD FOR SKAGWAY
Putrio'ism and fratornalism are
the foundation stones of the Bene
volent and Protective Order of Elks
Love of country and love of fellow
m^n are the principles on which the
organization haa been built.
Now that the United States is
facing a crisis, a crisis that may de
velop into the most momentous per
iod la i's history, it Id only na
tural to suppose that Elks will be
amon; the first to support the ef
fort to defend the United States
and tho policies which attended its
bir'h and aver since have accompan
ied its growth and development.
And this is what they are doing,
in all parts of the country. In
Skagway the Elks are sponsors for
the movement to form a home
guard.
Organization of this guard will
net necessarily mean that the men
who Join will be called1 to the ftont.^

The Rnode Island Is 441 feet long, with a displacement of 14,984 tons. She
has four twelve-Inch and eight eight-Inch guns. Her keel was laid in 1902,
and she has a crew of 812.
They will, however, fee a home de
fense, In cose need of defense should
arise from any cause, and they
will he given training that would
increasp their efficiency in case
they should be called on to help
fight the country's battles.
The Daily Alaskan hopes that
neither the boys and men of Skag
way nor those of any other town
or city, will b© required to go to
the front and bear the brunt of war.
But the situation compels one to
admit that such necessity may come
about and that it is therefore In
cumbent on Americans to leave
nothing undone that might help to
ward preparedness. *
There can be no question about
the patriotism of A1 askant and the
citizens of Skagway. Should the
country call them to arms they
would respond to a man.
I But this spirit should be ex
tended to the spirit of preparedness.
A home guard In Skagway might
bo of service in Skagway- It cer
tainly would be or service lu train
ing men should those men be called
tq the colors.
Under the auspices of the Elks,
it Is proposed1 that a meeting shall
be held to organize the proposed
guard. Xo date has been fixed for
the meeting, but, when it is held,
it should be attended in such num
bers by the boys and men of Skag
way aB to Insure an effective or
gaiiizalicn from the very start.
