'OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
THE MAX WITH THE HOE
"Tho Man With the Hoe," is
Teally the '"man. behind the gun."
Upon htm rests the burden of pro
viding lor those who may soon be
the front, and how does Ms
(tikrt will determine, is the Port
laud Telegram says, "the welfare of
the world."
Predicting that th^ man with
the hoe will rise to the demands
that are being put upon him, the
Telegram says:
•'Conditions have so changed witl*
in tha past two months that the
tim0 '» ripe for Edwin Markhaim to
revise iiia famous poem: 'The Man
With 'he Hoe.' Even if the man
■with tho hoe be brother to the ox he
is, in this year of our lord, nineteen,
hundred and seventeen, the most
impor'aut man in the civilized
world. Upon his Industry through
out the days from seed time to hair
vest depends the winning of the war
for the world's freedom. The work
iof tha icaa with the hoe is nc(t
spectacular; it is without th.> ad
ventitious aid of drama'ic situation;
it is not accompanied by cheers, nor
the martial strains of brass bands,
nor the enthusiasm spontaneously
aroused where large numbers of
men gather for a great common p<ur«
pose; still humbly as »V is, it/ ia su
premely patriotic work..
".Never stance the da^rn of his- j
fory '■as the man with; the ho® fill
ed sjt> important a place of service
to mai'kind. The welfare of the
world hinges on his iudustrly. In,
Amerira the man with the hoe will
rise *o his responsibility. He knows
tnat his work ha^ never been so
useful as now. It will lift him up
amd it will sweeten his life. The
with, l"> hoe has come into his own.
Thxice blessed i$ fh.e horny handed
son of toil."
The country asked for bread a-nd
^Missouri gave) it a Stone, says the
Poi'laad Telegram.
Had the Kaiser been a newspaper
oublisher lie would not have failed
to recognize th§ value of a scrap
of papar. i , . : !! i
There used to be a song "I'd like
to be a soldier." But no one ervar
heo.r anyone sing "I'd like to be a
■lacker."
LeathPr is becoming so high, that]
it now require" nearly as much nerve
for a mountain climber to buy a
pair of shoes as it does to climb a |
difficult peak. '
The p#n may be mightier than
ihe sword but manufacture of it
dots no*, seom to be 80 profitable,
as shown by the announcement that
a typewriter factory is now making
firearms.
ON VOUR OWN HEADS
By Rildyard Kipling
(The fJUiurc to heed this 'warning by Kipling has caused Great Britain
uniold suffering. Shall we also be blind?)
Fecced by your careful fathers, ringed by your leaden seas,
Long did ye wake in quiet and long lie down at ease;
Tiil ye said of Strife, "What it ItT", of the Swoi-d, "It is far from
our keck"; i
.Till ve made a sfoort of your shrunken hosts amd a toy of your armed
imen. ;
Ya stopped your ears to the warning—ye would neither look nor
heed— i i ■
Ye set your leisure befor0 their toil and your lusts above their need.
Given to strong delusion, wholly believing a Ho,
Ye saw that land lay fenceless, and ye let the months go by
Wajting some easy wander; hoping some saving sign—
Idle—cpeaily idle—in the lee of the foxestpeint Line. v
Idle—except for your boasting— and what is your boasting worth
If ye grudge a year of service to thlg lordliest life on earth?
(But ve say, "It will maj our comfort." Ye say, "It will "minlsh our
trade." « '
Do yie wait for the spattered shrapnel ere ye learn how a gun la laid?
For 'lie low, red glare to southward when the raided coast-towns
burn?
(Logh+ ye shall hare on that tessc^n, bu* little time to learn.)
No doubt but ye are the People—absolute, strong, and wise;
Whatever your heart haa desired jt> have no* witheld from your eyes.
Oh your owu heads, in ybur pwn hands, the sin and the saving Ilea!
What Others Say
LOWER TOLLS
The Fairbanks commercial clubs
and newspapers are working to the
and thai tho^ goremineat
supplv the press of Al^ka
with reduced tolls In order that a
mot© (Wailed war service may be
recelred. This is a matter In which
every 'cwa should be interested,
and i* might prove beneficial for
our Chamber of Commerce to take
up the matter with the chief of the
signal corps at Seattle—Cordoraj
Times.
ALASKA IN HISTORY
An interesting and significant in
cident oi *he approaching oommem
jajratjon of the fiftieth anniversary
of the purchase of this territory
from Russian, ■will to the publica
tion e* an accurate snd exhaustive
historv of Alaska, frmo the pen of
Dr. F. A. Golderm, of the "Wash
ington StajHe College: |
When histories begin to be
written of a country it may be
triily; said 4q have arrived. — Sew
ard; Gateway.
KING SHU* AT STAKE
Evidently the Kaiser fears the
leaven o* revolt. The divinity of
kingshio Is at atake. tHie Cfear was
;oo weaK, too vacillating, to read
those signs of the times, or If he
did read them, he was not equal to
tt^ task of achieving the. reforms
needed to appease the people. It
is th« Kaiser's strength that he
does not underestimate the peo
ple's power and for that reason he
•may b<» able, by voluntarily atrip
ping himself of certain autocratic
prerogatives, ( to keep hi jk throne
and maiutain the loyalty of his sub
jects.—Valdez Prospector.
* UPHOLDIXG THE FLAG
This country haa been a haven
for the oppressed of all nations for
more than a century and a quarter.
Uhose who have lived under/ the
protection of the stars a«d stripes
owe their allegiance to this coun
try. In this hour of national crisis,
whei^ we are preparing to send the
young men who are the flower of the
nation away from home to volun
tarily sacrifice their lives for their
coumtrv, we are in no humor to lis
ten to any pro-Kaiser talk, and If
any in grata should dare to make
the slightest sUir at #he American
flag he should be instantly dealt
with drastically, and he will;' that
is certain.—Wrangell Sentinel.
A BOOST FOR TIGHTWADS
The truth is we need more tight
wads. We need more, and women,
too, who caa say no to the foolish
and unnecessary expenditure, and
mean it. Courage to refuse to waste
because others are unnecessarily ex
travagant indicates mental and
moral backbone of the kind our
forefatners possessed, bait top in
frequent in their descendants. Tight
wads are sadly needed in our civic
and national affairs. With a deficit
of $300,000,000 or more facing us
at Washington and a proepect of
sharply increased local taxes this
year, we need a disposition to tight
en up on the public purse strings.'
Too long the disposition of our
public officials haa been, "Never
mind the cost; the people have to
pay." Fraiuklin'a old saw, "Al
ways taking out and never putting
in soon comes to the bottom of the
tub," is being exemplified in many
cities on the narrow edge of bank
ruptcy today.—Detroit Free Press.
China has the world's oldest chain
bridge.
Whiting Is the best and cheapest pol
ish for silver.
Dominica has a boiling lake of un
known depth.
Tobacco ashes, It Is said, contain 20
per cent of potash.
New Zealand has a waterfall, the
Sutherland, 1,904 feet high.
A sharper is a keen man with a dull
conscience.—Chicago News.
