EDITORIAL
'OLD GLORY"
"America For Americars7
The Skagway Dailjr Alaskan came
out this week ia what it was pleased
to call in its editorial column, "Our
Herbert Hoover Edition." viz: a
single page of a six column paper
printed on both sides and devoted
almost exclusively to its telegraphic
teport and to its advertiser. Just
why the proprietor of the Daily Al
askan has clung bo tenaciously to
the idea of publishing a daily pa
per in a field where its patrons
for years past have been gradually
dwindling in number, thereby ren
dering the support of the estab
lishment by the remaning ones mucH
more burdensome, it is hard to say.
The leading business men of Ska*
way have always liberally support
ed their home paper, but there is
about as much need for a daily is
sue of a paper in that town as
there is in Whitehorse—and that is
none. With a weekly paper and a
daily war bulletin all the require
ments iu the newspaper line would
be met under present conditions. —

The President's Letter Asking
Telegraph Head to Accept Labor
Board Decision on Operators
The "Whit® House,
Washington, June 11, 1918.
My Dear Mr. Ma<ckay: My atten
tion has been called to the tact that
the National War Labo* Board, af
ter a eareful consideration of the
questions at issue between the
telegraph companies and their em
ployes, have arrived at a decision,
the essential points of which are
embraced In the following:
(1) The employees have a right
to join a union if they so de
sire, and men discharged for Joining
the union should be reinstated.
(2) The company should not be
required to deal with the union or
to recognize it!
(,3) Committees of employees
should be recognized in presenting
grievances.
(4) Where employees and em
ployers fail to agree, the question
in dispute should, be determined by
the National War Labor Board.
15) The telegraphers' union
should not initiate strikes or permit
| its members to initiate them, but
s.iould submit all grievances to the
National War Labor Board.
I am informed that the repre
sentatives of the union are willing td
accept this decision, but that the
representatives of the telegraph com'
panles have not accepted It.
May I not say that In my judg
ment it is imperatively necessary In
.he national Interest that decisions
Df the National War Labor Board
should be accepted bjr oth parties
a labor disputes? To fail to ac
cept them is to Jeopard the Interest
he interest of the Nation very seri
ously. because it constitutes a re
jection of the instrumentality set
up bv the Government Itself for
:he determination of laoor dispute;,
:et up with a sincere desire to ar
rive at justice in every case and
with th© express purpose of safe
guarding the Nation against labor
difficulties during the continuation
.f the present war.
All these circumstances being
taken into consideration, I do not
hesitate to say that it is a patriotic
duty to cooperate in this all-Import
s'nt matter with the Government, by
the use of the instrumentality
which the Government has set up.
I, therefore, write to ask that I may
have your earnest cooperation in
tais matter, as in all others, and
that you will set an example to
the other employers of the country
by a prompt and cordial acqui
escence.
Very sincerely, yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
Mr. Clarence H. Mackay,
President Postal Telegraph* Co.,
N'ew York City.

New York, June 12, 1918.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President.
The White House, Washington, D. C«
In reply to your letter of yester
day allow nio to say that this com
pany has donie its very utmost since
tne Deginning of the war to assume
its full share of responsibility to the
Government and to the public and
tnat, in order to still further show
its sincerity and earnest desire to
be of service at this time of nation
al triai, we can not out respond to
your request that wo waive, dur
ing the war, our right to discharge
employees who join a union, and
you may rely upon our doing so.
Very respectfully,

EXHIBIT OK ROSES
FULL OF FEATURES
Roses here, roses there,
Roses, roses, everywhere:
Thus only can be described the
profusion of blossoms that greets
the eye at the rose show given by
the hospitable home of the Rose
City Park club. Fifty-seventh street
and Sandy boulevard.
First the visitor steps uader an
archway of pink climbers onto the
triangular lawn outlined with its
border of rose bushes laden, witn
blossoms. As the rose-lined walk
is traversed, glimpses of the fairy
land within the wide doors of the
clubhouse can be se^n. All were
startled into exclamations of admin*
tion this afternoon by the huge pil
lar of red ramblers that towers to
the very ceiling of the main room
where the motif is red and blue. Tha
blue of this color scheme is supplied
by foxgloves and .rich delphiniums.
The anterooms glow with color
and bowers transplanted from
dreamland, each chamber predorn
iuating in one color. First is the
p'nk room with Caroline Testouts
and other varieties of pink flowers
in every possible artistic arrange
ment. In contrast to these splash
es of color is another room in the
purest white.
A feature of th© display is a
large red cross in red roses in
charge of Mrs. Samuel Sproat. Gath
ered around this is a giv>up of half
a dozen little girls charmingly gown
ed in fluffy frocks Belling little
seedlings of various plants. Mrs. F.
E. Grigsby has charge of the sale,
funds from which, will be turned
over to th© Red Cross.
Mrs. J. Curtis Simmons, who is
not a member of the club but a citi
zen of Rose City Park, is general
chairman of the skow and has en
tered an unusually lovely exhibi
tion of roses. Among those w'io
have especially fine displays, is Mrs.
T T. Geer, with Sweet Williams,
roses, and a rare specimen of bloom
ing pink cactus transplanted from
Mexico. Mrs. 0. A. Poole showed! a
basket of new ciphers called "Silver
Moon," a variety whch promises to
become popular with Portland rose
growers. Captain Thomas H. Crank
has the largest exhibit of delphin
iums in many luxuriant shades of
blue, Mrs. Floyd Campbell has an
artistic display of 100 beautiful
varieties of buds and blossoms. A
perfect blossom of the white Maman
Cochet rose makes the exhibit of H
J. Blaesing one of exceptional
beauty. Mrs. Percy Lewis, Mrs.
H. B. Hall and Mrs. Julius M. John
son also exhibited.
The judges began their task at j
1 o'clock and announcement of >

morning from his trip to Hono'ulu.
STILL KNITTING
They write up in the papers
About the girls who knit.
They banter and they tease us
The way our garments fit.
They say we knit ih street cars
To mako the people stare;
At theatres and movies.
In fact, just anywhere.
They say that some knit loosely
While others knit too tight;
And knots abound profusely.
And no one knits just right.
They picture wifsy's wristlet
A hanging on the tub,
That hubby thought a wash rag.
And used it for a scrub.
But we are not discouraged.
We know the heartfelt Joy
That ev'ry knitted garment
Will bring some soldier boy.
And when it's cold and 6leety
And hard the north wind blows
He will not look for stitches
That dropped between the rows.
Nor will he say: "It's beastly
The way these garments fit."
And use one wristlet as a sock.
The other as a. mitt.
He'll hug the sweater fondly
And smile with pure de ight,
Then don the socks an" wriatlets.
And draw the muffler tight.
And tho' he may not say it,
He'll think it just the same:
"God bless the little woman
From whome theese garments
came." - ,
So just keep up the teasing
About the way we knit,
We're very much in earnest
And don't intend to quit.
—Amanda M^thes, in Cincinnati

Seattle draft boards have receiv
ed new medical rules for examining: |
registrants whieh they say will ap
ply to every branch of Jhe servicq,
army and navy, hereafter. They
are to be used in re-classifying the
men ia deferred classes.
Heretofore, the draft boards have !
had one set While another set of
entirely different medical require
ments was governing regular army j
recruiting posts.
Men who were heretofore reject
ed because of minor defects or in
groups «f remedial defects, will be
summoned for another physical test.
Under the new rule the examining
physician is permitted to use his
discretion concerning heart cases.
Heretofore the detection of a heart |
murmur barred the man from ser
vice. The surgeon may now pass
such a man, provided he is satis
fied that in case of valvular di
sease the compensation is of suf
ficient strength to keep the man in
good health, or in case the murmur
is the result of unusual exertion of
the heart muscles, which cease up
on the man resuming his normal
condition.
Flat feet are no more to be fear
ed as this condition is not to be
counted against a man's military
soundness. And in case of drugs,
it is provided that he may be ac
cepted conditionally and given treat
ment so as to fit -him for service.
Tno bars have also been let down
in case of weight of those measur
ing five feet three Inches. Jt is I
fixed at 116 pounds whereas the I
requirement was 124 pounds" J
Dental requirements are now tnat I
a man may have several false teeth,
so long as he has good brldgework,
and retaius his natural molars. And
in ear requirements a man may get
through if he happens to be deaf
in one ear but hears acutely in the
other.
In answer to a general petition
signed by the citizens of Skagway
asking the postal department to
have mail carried on the <5. S.
Humboldt, the following letter was
received by Mayor Ashley in the last

A STITCH IN TIME
Skadar People Should Not Neglect
Theirr Kidneys.
No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest bacK
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
mav D© warning you of approach
ing dropsy, gravel or Bright's di
sease. Kidney disease is seldom
fatal if treated In time, but neglect]
may pave the wav. Don't neglect a
lame or aching back another day.
Don't ignore dizzy spells, head
aches,, weariness or depression. If
vou feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable, time-tried rem
edy, Doan's Kidney Pills. For 50
years, Doan's have been found ef
fective. Endorsed by grateful peo
ple.
C. B. "Wright, 1052 Second St.,
Santa Rosa, Calif., says: "It was
several years ago and I suffered
from backache and other symptoms
of kidney trouble. I had severe
pains across my kiclneys and often
I could hardly get up or down. The
action of my kidneys was irregular,
causing me to get up several times
at night. A burning sensation at
tended the passages of the kidney
secretions. Several boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills regulated the action of
my kidneys and removed the back
ache."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Wright had. Foster-Mil
