"America For Americans
FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
"THE tiOO!> OU» r. S. A."
George I*attullo, in the Saturday
Evening- Poet.
Europe: I wouldn't give half an
^ore if American soil for all I've
Been—not i; I had to live over here.
It isn't that the European countries
aren't beautiful, for they are—per
haps lovelier than our more rugged
land can ever hope to be. and
they h"-ve everythng K> make exist
ence easy and comfortable. But
Ibe life is belittling, and that's the
truth. What the causes back of it
may bo I dou't know—probably it's
'heir social system; anyhow. Eurev
peans «ren't so broad gauged as
AmericaLs. Of course, tho aver
age European would hoot at that.
He considers an American an un
couth oarbarian, because the Am
ertcau happens to have customs that
differ from his own; but he's wel
von:e to his delusion.
Th-1 European thinks and acts by
rul<j tf thumb. He is suspicious
of his teighbors and hates other na
tionalises. Now, with all our
faults, as a people, we don't hate
anybody. We haven't time. Any
way, what's the use? Besides,
why should we? A man hates for
two reasons—envy and fear. We
ap-n't afraid of anybody so you
rould no'ice it. and we don't have
to envy any nation.
My own theory about the differ
ence be'ween the European and Am
erican viewpoint is that ours is a
land 'f hope. Over here there isn't
much ahead for the average man,
his opportunities are ».> limited,
and thar makes him spiteful. But
in the United States any live wire
with brains can pet a strangle hold
on. the whole round earth if he is
man eaoujrh. to go after it. so he
"has small time for envy of other
peoples, and such littleness.
Ia Europo they are Ion? past
the noon of achievement and we
—well, we're facing the dawn.
Our TWfi'o will be tremendously
changed, though, at the end
of this business. Mixing with all
kinds of nationalities, the boys are
broadening a lot. They'll have new
i'eas r>" geography and the other
peoples of the earth, and they will
Junk a lot of the shibboleths of the
past.
And America will have to be
.mighty careful about immigration.
About 50 per cent of the young
fokls you talk to over here say
they're going to the United States
when ♦*e war is over. Unless their
own governments prohibit emigra
tion, we'll have to put up the bars
or be fairly swamped. They think
we're the luckiest people alive. For
e- long while the average French kidj
xas persuaded that a'l American j
soldiers UMWclieU it motor cars.
Alaskans will not permit any ooanl
to state that lie desires to Bee the
President of the United States bung,
or that he would not support his
country in time of need, without
sufferiu< for hig sentiments. Coa
rad Maurita Olsen Eiones tried it,
according to the complaint, and is
now in a jail, with; a suit filed
usj'ns' him by the United States
government to cancel bis citizenship
cert: fixate. I
The defendant is, or was, a fish
erman at Ketchikan, and it waa la.
this district that he ia reported to
have made the statements quoted
, above. In the suit to cancel the
defendant's certificate, the govern
ment alleges fraud on the paj-t of
the defendant, stating that he was
no' sincere in his oath of allegiance
and that papere srere merely se
cured by the defendant that lie
might secure a license to operate
a boat in Alaskan waters.
NO DRUNKS UNDER
BONE DRY LAW
Tne bone-dry law in this territory
has cut down drunkenness if not
'drinking- in Ketchikan. Th«| records
of the municipal magistrate Bhow
this unmistakably.
In December, the l:ist month of
the "wet" year, the police of Ketchi
kan made 28 arrests for dnnfcen
ness and disorderliness. la Janu
ary- 191S, the first month of the
bor.e-dry law, the arrests for drunks
fell off to 4, all made on January
first, tne last of the New Year's
eve joymakers.
Th° new years is starting with, a
clean record, and the coming monthl
win show what the bane-dry law Is
doiiijj for Ketchikan. Last year
there were 324 arrests for drunken
ness, as follows: January 1917, 1
arrest: February 13; March. 13:
April 1: May IS; June 29; July
34: August 52; September 58; Oc
tober 4": November 30; and De
cember 28.—Ketchikan Miner.
