"OLD GLORY"j
"America For Americans"
'i'Hill IK IS NO ALTERNATIVE
"I5UX WJ2 SHAM. WLN—or lose
i*—ia Washington."
The foregoing is the concluding
sentence of the first paragraph of
of Sam Dly'hVj recent, instructive
and most interesting article on
■America's participation in the war,
oublished tu the Saturday Evening
Host.
We arise to object to the al
ternative. gliall not "lose it."
either, "in Washington" or any
where else. We may muddle it; we
may buugle it; we ma£ make it
cost immeasurably more in. blood
and money than is necei>sary; but to
lose it does not lig in the cards.
The altitude of all real Americans
tow aid this war is the fundament
al upon which we miu rely. Su
preme faith in the strength of this
tre"t democracy; and in its ability
to follow to the end of the fur
row whenever it sets its hand to the
plow is the dominant note in our
patriotism, it does not admit of
auy win or lose ajterua-tive.
We would not even intimate that
Air. iilytho is not as sturdy and
*tout hearted a patriot a# the
besr in the laud. .Rather would we
willingly testify to the country
to 'he best of our knowledge and
belief. We conceive that he may
have oermitted this unthinkable al
ter ua'ive to creep in for itfcs effect.
If that were so it was Mr. Blythe'B
mistake. We do not Jeed the ef
fect of an imagined fear of ultim
ate defeat ia this war.
It may be that the alternative ap
peared merely as loose phrase mak
ing We would rather thiuk that.
To that habit too many of us have
been given since war was declared.
I' is a h-ibit to be absolutely dis
pensed with. There is but one
ultimate idea in the American head
with reference to the war, and that
's victory. It is a deep, widespread
conviction that has no resemblance
to cocksuredness. It is the con
seiousnes of right in the Nation's
cause and strength in the Nation's
arm. ,
Let's have done with this alterna
tive, now and forever.—The Evening
Telegram. *.

Wars Will End When !: ;
Autocracy Is Shorn I
of Power to
Make War
| By DANIEL GUGGENHEIM, Copper j;
Magnate !
«
I ASSUME that the fresh energy
of America and of Japan, too,
will be directed against Ger
many in all of its fullness, and
therefore I look for an early peace.
An examination of the situation, I
think, will justi
fy my optimism.
In the first
place, no one
wants this war.
Every one hates
it. It is decid
edly unpopular
with all neutrals
and belligerents, 1
But every one in
the war is de- '
t e r ni i n e d to
■fiirlif. it out in
tho hope of es- u
tablishing permanent peace. Strange
as it may seem, I claim that the
Germans and Austrians are con
tending for the same thing that the
allies are fighting for—that there
shall be no mbre wars among civil
ized nations.
Now, what is necessary to stop
this war and guarantee peace in the
future? To answer this we must
look at the cause of the war.
Whether the war was brought on by
the kaiser or the emperor of Aus
tria-Hungary or the czar of Russia
is not the question now. The fact
is that one or more of these rulers
was responsible for the war. We
•suffer from the war because one,
two or three men had the power to
chrow the nations of the world into
conflict. If we had had no autocra
cy in the civilized world we should
have had no war, and as long as we
have autocracy we shall be in dan
ger of war.
SO WE CAN'T BRING THIS WAR
TO AN END WITH THE HOPE OF
AN ENDURING PEACE AFTER IT
(UNTIL THE POWER OF INDIVID
I UALS TO MAKE WAR IS ENDED.
RUMORS AND RUMORS
Rumors from various sources are
constantly being circulated that a
well known citizen is gelling booze
iu the Xartli End. The Daily Al
askan knows this rumor to be
false and presumes It is being told
to shield some bootlegger who is
l^elling rum.
Ihe Daily Alaskan is a dry pa
per and has always fought when
ever an issue is at stake, but we
will not be mixed up in any false
rumffis that tend to destroy the
integrity of our citizens.
"How great a matter a little
fire kindleth" is a true paying.
Pec oil should be careful of their
speech and be positive before ac
cusations are made.

A UNIQUE RECORD
Very 1'Vw Like It la Our liroit^
Republic
Grateful testimony for Doan's
Kidney Pills, published everywhere
i3 o' itself convincing of merit.
Confirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago Mrs.
Mason gratefully acknowledged the
benefit derived from Doan's Kidney
Pills. The statement is now con
firmed—the proof more convincing'.
Ca t-s of this kind are plentiful in
the work of Doans' Kidney Pills—
fhe record is unique.
Mrs. David Mason, 2715 East C
St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "i had
a dull, heavy ache inl my back and
't was lame and weak, severe heait
aches and dizzy spells wiere com
mon. The kidney secretions passed
too often and I always felt tired
and wornou*. Doan's, Kidney; Pills
rid me o[ the trouble." (Statement
Kiven September 19, 1913.)
On November 5, 1915 Mrs. Mason
said: "I have used Doaji'g Kidney
Pills Bince last recommending) them
and have found them just as effec
tive as in the past."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan/g Kidney; Pills—the »ame
that Mrs. Mason has twice public
ly -recommended. Foster-Milburn
