THK HOME GUARD
The confidence placed in the pa
triotism of Skagway has been justi
fied.
At thv> patriotic rally held last
night in Elks'h^U, seventy-four men
aiul boys joined the homo guard, to
organize which tbe meeting was
held.
So one in tho audienoe that fill
ed th* hall, could but feel that the
spirit displayed there showed that
Americans are worthy to pocsesa the
country which was founded in lib
erty by the heroes who gave ttfeir
lives for it in the days of the
revolution.
Mea and yomen of the United
States today are just as ready to
make the great sacrifice fofl their
coua'ry as were their forebears of
colonial days.
Shag-way citizens proved that last
night, just as the men and women
lu other cities and towns under
Ihs American flag are doing.
The home guaTd is being formed
for home protection in case need of
defense for the community arises.
Completion of the organization is
to be accomplished at a meeting to
morrow night, when officers will be
elected. |
These who may not fully under
stand the purpose of the guard and
for that reason did not join last
night, will learn, by attending this
meeting, just what are the duties of
the home guards and be jrfven op
portunity to enroll in thJe country.
The men and boys who signed the
rcll last night may or may not be
called upon for service. But the
readiness with which, they volun
teered for home defense shows tha
the country can count on citizens
of Skagway to do their duty.
No one wants war. The men
who are forming the home guard do
jiot want war. But everyone does
want the principles of democracy
uoheld afcd the home guard com
pany is being organized with that
eoirit as its motive.
3ucb a spirit should enlist the
support of every American. Hu
manity playsi just ap <tg a part in,
preparedness now as does pa
triotism.
T'e country should now feel safe
regarding Us supply of so>uds and
o<her vegetables. The golfers, ac
cording to a New York news item,
ar» rclng to make track gardens la
unused portions of their links.
A certain "learned counsel" is
said to have referred to some Valde
witnesses as "recremontltious
things." The news story did not
gtra their reply, probably because
It was censored. , i

RIGHTS OF NATIONS
.Lov&lty and patriotism go band
in hand, and now la the time *o
show it, and we should be willing
to make any sacrifices that are
neoesaary to aid the United States
in bringing to a speedy and suc
cessful end Its war with Germany.
We can all be a factor In thlB
victory that will forever Btamp out
imperialism and guarantee in the
future the safety and rights of
all nations.
—Cordova Times.
THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
Through the courtesy of Delegate
Wickereham, The Times hag receiv
ed a sack of seeds of various kinds
for local dtc£rib(utiQn. And It is
gratifying to obeerve that the good
house-wivea of the community are
the most frequent callers for these
seeds. With the increased cost of
living, a vegetable garden will ma
'er.ally decrease the household si
nenses and at the same time pro
vide the table with, wholesome
food.—Anchorage Times.
NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP
While the administration is fully
Justified in limiting the rights of
newspapers during th© -war no one
will agree that they should be
entirely muzzled. Not even the
German newspapers are completely
gagged during the war &« we can!
sea from Quotations from Vorwaerts
•and other Berlin journals from
time *o time. It would1 be mon
strous to expect in any country that
if a government l>y incompetency or
I otherwise were endangering tb>e In
terests of that country the public
press should be kept silent.
Criticism of the conduct of a war
would be of no material advantage
to an enemy.
—Juneau Dispatch.
ANCHORAGE HARBOR
The Times is informed that Har
bor Engineer Gerig has completed
his plana for the harbor improve
ments at Anchorage. All that
is now needed, so we are informed,
is the official acceptance of the
plans as submitted by Chairman
.tides, of the Alaskan. Engineering
commission. The plans accepted, as
we have no doubt whatever thay
will be—for the good and sufficient
reason that the man who originated
them knows his business—the dirt
will begin fo fly on a very compre
hensive and' beneficial improve
ment for this town. — Anchorage
Times.
BE ECONOMICAL
Economy must be one of our
watchwords in this great war. We
must economize in every way pos
sible. We must produce all we can,
make it go as far as we can andl
waste absolutely nothing jvhjch can
be avoided. If w§ save all the food
that we now waste to various ways,
it will go far towards feeding our
armies; but when wasted it feeds
neither them nor ourselves.
When our country was at peace,
we felt that we could be extrava
gant at times, because prosperity
favored us; and while we may still
he prosperous, we must remember
'that we must divide with our great
armies which h*v« become users an
not. producers.
—Ketchikan Miner.
W ORK WELL DOXE
So far as Alaskans ar« concern
ed, probably the best piece of news
tha* has come out of the National
capital for several months is that
the Alaska road appropriation of
$500,000 wag restored tQ the Army
Appropriation bill in the Senate, an
that it will undoubtedly be permit
ted to remain there by the confer
ence committee, In the midst of
active preparations for war, when
it might well be expected fhat Alas
k» would come in for comparatively
littlg attention by the members of
Congress, and it speaks volumes
for the activity of Colonel Rich
ardson ("Our Colonel Dick") and
• he otner friends of Alaska at the
Caoi'al that the appropriation was
lestored after being dropped in the
House-—Valdez Miner.

GOVERNMENT TO BAR
EXCESSIVE WAR PROFITS
If Prices Are Too High Uncle Sam
Can Take Over and Oper
ate Plants.
The government has invoked for tbe
first time its drastic powers to strike
a deathblow at exorbitant war profits.
Under authority of the last naval ap
propriation bill a manufacturer was
directed to furnish a large order of war
supplies at a price fixed by the govern
ment, far lower than the figure volun
tarily submitted. If tbe order is not
obeyed the plant will be taken over
and operated by the government
It Is understood that the concern
against which these statutes have been
Invoked refused to meet the govern
ment's requirements as to price when
the orders were tendered originally
and in tbe regular way. So far as
known this is the only case of the kind
yet produced by the present emergency.
European governments arc paying an
average of 10 per cent profit on war
materials purchased In the United
States. It was asserted authoritatively
that the government of the United
States intends to buy its own supplies
at less than that rate of profit to the
seller. The law invoked Is section 3
of the last naval appropriation bill, as
follows:
The president Is authorized to require
the owner or occupier of any factory la
which the ships or war material are built
or produced to place nt the disposal of
the United States the whole or any part
of thtt output of such factory and, within
the limit of the amounts appropriated
therefor, to deliver such output or parts
thereof In such quantities and at such
times as may be specified In the order at
such reasonable price as shall be deter
mined by the president
