"Auerica For Americans"
l'lUUlU ISE OF SERVICE FLAGS
No service flag can be properly
used cxvtHU that the stars thereon
repres- ut someone either in the
army or in the navy serving in the
uniform of the United States, or
representing an American citizen
eenrlai: in the uniform of a nation
allied with "s in this war..
Cirl'ian service cannot be proper
ly identified by the service flag.
'i a!3 applies equally to "war work"
in all! utories and mines and fields
ot ■ ac I'niU'd States, as well as to
'"imp work" in the cantonments,
forts, train ins camps, or vessels of
of t'je I'. merchant marine, unles
ser\ing in such fields of ac
tivity in- actually in the uniform of
our d nutry. Persons serving in
th'-> •*> ;ir work" of the Y. M. C. A.,
the K: i-'lits <>f Columbus, the Red
Cro?£ ;uu! various other organiza
tions {lating to do in a direct or
remott v.ay with the war.
La c tli«-r wow Is, a star in. the
serxice tliwr stanU for a soWier or
a sail* r ami it cannot, with pro
priety, tx- iksoi otherwise, and If
otiienr^.- iksevl such flajj or such
star «h>ulil 1h- withdiawn.
It If not even proper to attacn
to a s -vice flag a star represent
ing a national guardsman, a state
guards 11. a military policeman, or
any "t'lt-r not actually in the fed
eral ft vice, though really in mili*
tary ui iform.
It fe oDvious that the Indiscrim
inate i > «'f tne service flag would
]o«pji it-; significance, cheapen it,
a-iid W-'':i'!raw respect from it It
woulfl bo just as proper to display
a serr flag representing an em
ploye a shipyard.' in the forests
or the mills, in the mines, or in the
munlti m or food preserving stations
Rg to display a service flag with a
c- . rfpresenting one in any other
depart! i^ut of the civilian life.
Tnere are Red Cross officers who
are holding a commission in a medi
cal diT >ion n the army or in the
navy, rnd they, of course, must be
classed with the soldier or tne
sailor, hut the civilian worker in
tb Re 1 t'ross, in the T. M. C. A.,
the Krischts of Columbus, in the
varloor hostess houses of the Y. M.
C. A., etc.. ^re not in the service
o* the raited States though en
gaged in a helpful work and a
nec^ssry work direcfy concerning:
iur military units. They are not
United States employes.
While upon this subject !t may w
svell to say that a home that dis
plays a service flag con
alnlnt a star for some one w-ho
lid aot make that home his domicil
S of douotful propriety, though
Ijcre nay be circumstances justlfv
ng this, as, for instance, an at>'
e"t §cn who has not lived In tnat
.01119, but who, in an extremity, vilJ
eturn to that home, or will claim
t as tis place of permanent abode.
Furthermore, a business house
^nnot honestly display a flag con
lUUag stars representative of em
loyea who were not in the em
.oyment o* ftat business bouse im
Mlately prior to entering the serv
e M a soldier or a sailor. The
aase ot the service flag has been
flagrantly abused and Bhould be
abandoned.
Let's make the service flag stand
i for that which It was intended—
to represent one doing military sen
ice for the nation, or for a nation
with which we fight.
When a Boldier or sailor dies or
is killed In the service of his coun
try .the blue star representing him
should bo transferred from the
field of white to the red border and
given the color of gold. • It indicate*
th« supreme sacrifice Tor one's cour
try, standing in a border of red, and
being withdrawn form the field of
white Indicates that one is no longei
in active service.
PLATFORM
We, the Republicans of Alaska in
convention assembled, point with
pride to the patriotic service which
the leaders of the Republican party
of this nation hare given the ad
ministration in preparing for war.
In Congress, Repubiicana have giver
their votes, often the deciding votes
for the grant of every power and
all the money demanded by the
administration; in this course of
action they will persist without wav
ering or shadow of turning. This
is the war of no political party.
This is the country's waj and we
would deplore that the party in
power be guilty of practicing petty
partisan politics to the serious detri
ment of tne country's cause even in
the tei^itories of the Union.
We commend the patriotic and
unfailing loyalty to nation and peo
ple of Theodore Roosevelt. We
heartily endorse the patrotic lead
ership of Will H. Hays, cnalrman ol
the Republican National Committee
and nledge our fealty to the com
mittee which he ts ably organiz*
ing.
The Republicans or the Firs)
division believe that the delegate
legislature , officials and people ol
the Territory should exert their be?
efforts to speed the conferring ol
the sovereign power o' Statehood
upon Alaska.
We maintain that ail power and
authority ever conferred upon anj
territory of the Union should be
vested in the legislature of Alaska.
We endorse the candidacy ol
James Wickersham as the primary
nominee o* the Republican party
and nledge our support. We pro
test against the political activity ol
federai officials in this territory, an
we appeal to the Republican mem
Ders o' Congress to secure a jusi
decision of the present delegate
contest Pending in the House ol
Representatives.
We maintain that the offices ol
treasurer of the territory, territor
ial mine inspector, teritorial com
missioner of education and othei
offices created by the legislature ol
the territory should be elected.
We declare for the strict enforce
ment of the prohibition laws of the
territory, and deplore the failurj
to enforce the same.
We declare in favor of protec
tion of the Alaska fisheries and
pledge employes of the fisheries
and all other industries a just com
pensation act by the territorial legli
laturer
We pledge our candidates for th<
legislature to work for the passags
of an 8-houf law that will protect
the workers in this territory; im
provement of the Pioneer Home an*
increased pensions for the pioneei
men and women of this territory;
protection and propagation of Uh<
game and fish; increased transports
tion and mail service for the iso
lated communities: opening and d<
velopment of the timber, coal, oil
and mineral areas of Alaska; in
creased jurisdiction aa-* police pow
ers to municipal courts and municii
aiities to relieve expensive litiga
tion ; encouragement to the Natives
of this territory that they may be
come useful as well as patrk>ti<
citizens.
ED. MATTHEWS NOW

Mrs. W. E. Matthews is in re
ceipt of a letter from her son Ed
ward. who writes from "Somewhers
in France." the letter being dat
ed May 12.
Ed writes that he is now witt
the 4th C. AIT. Co., (Canadian Ma
chine Gun Battalion) having re
cently been transferred.
He says that he is having a few
days rest and say that it has beer
earned by hard work, having had b
hard time of it at (censored).
He says that he hopes "You ail
are getting along fine ts I know
darned well we aren't, we an» on
ly existing." I?e closes with stat
inp- that the weather is fine and
the sun has been out for the past
three or four weeks and he only
hopes that it will keep tip thegood
work. Vj :

Rumors hare been current for
somo time that the St. Ellas Oil
Company was trying to secure a
lease on the coal ground In the Ber
' ing River field. A representative
of the Daily Times today called up
on George C. Hazelet to ascertain
what foundation there was for the i
rumor. Mr. Hazelet said that it !
was true that Mr. Joslin had been ,
trying to secure a workable lease :
from the interior department ever |
since their trip over the fields three |
years ag*>, and that he had finally |
succeeded 'n getting thp matter in
shape with the deartment.
The Bering River Coal Company
hag oeen orrganized, and a lease
taken on 2,560 acres of the old
English company ground, lying on
and adjacent to Carbon creek, and
a party, of miners and laborers are
leaving Seattle the end of this week
with a view of opening up the tract
and doing sufficient development
work to ascertain whether or not
it was a commercial proposition.
The party will consist of from twen
ty to thirty men, fully equipped
to start the prospecting work, and
it is expected that the work will con
tinue dur'ng the summer, fall and
next winter.
When asked as to possible rail
road construction from Mile 39 Mr.
Ha2elet said that the people backing
this enterpr'es did not usually "put
the cart before the horse," and that
railroad construction was wholly de
pendent upon how the field de
veloped as to tonnage and com-1
mercial possibilities. He stat* I
ed that the people were amply able
to build any line of railroad they de-'
sired in connection, with the enter- j
prise. He also 6aid that if the field
developed commercially the coal
\vo6ld be brought to Cordova and
the Copper River section. When
asked how long it would take to do
the development work necessary, he
said that was a hard question to
answer, but that a year or eighteen
months ought to demonstrate con
S siderat>le.
Mr. Hazelet himself .speaks very
optimistically of the surface show- |
Ings in the field ,and is hopeful that
the development will Justify all
expectations.—Cordova Times.
