CORDOVA, ALASKA, TITER DAY, JANUARY 1.1, 1918.
STOOD NO NONSENSE.
A presumptions exponent of
“freedom” on the Russian1
front, says an Associated Press
correspondent, was recently
disposed of by Klondike meth-(
ods as exemplified by Lieut.
Col. John \Y. Boyle, Jr., of the
Canadian militia, who was sent
by the American committee in
London to aid in restoring the
Russian transportation system.
Lieut. Col. Bovle, who was
formerly assistant general
manager of the Canadian
Klondike Mining company, has
been engaged for four months
in improving the transport
conditions along the Russian
‘md Rumanian fronts. At a
certain point the chairman of
a soldiers’ commission, to
whom Boyle was referred for
necessary information, met
him in an uncivil mood, and
impertinently answered one
question with another calcu
lated to rouse the Canadian’s
temper. “Were you sent here
because you were the best man
they eoul find on <h French
front?” queried the nagging
committeeman through an in
terpreter. “Possibly so,” was
the reply. “Now, answer me
I 111'* -A\l« MMI l. Ill* Ul'M 111 ((11 III
your committee?” “T am ”
“Wliat. is your rank?” “T am
a soldier.” “It is unbecoming
in mo to start an argument
with a soldier.’* said Boyle,
who saw that he must either
subdue his antagonist or fail
in his quest. “But this is what
I propose. I’ll take off my
uniform,” proceeding in the
meantime to lay aside his cap,
‘harness,’ and uniform coat,1
“and meet you man to man.
Now you name any job that
you think you can do better,
than I can from lifting or jump-'
ing to fighting, and T will take
you on.” The interpreter con
veyed this information to the
soldier-committeeman. “Tell
tlds r-Vi...” continued Boyle,j
“that if h<* fails to best me in
whatever he chooses, be must
go away from here and not in-1
1 erf ere in my affairs, or T shall
give him the best beating be
has had since he was a child.”
The bully held a brief confer
ence with his fellows and went
away. lie may have had an
inkling, continues the Associat
ed Press story, that Boyle was
once the heavyweight boxing
champion of the Canadian
Northwest.
REGULATING DELIVERIES
Acting upon the request of
the council of National defense
the local merchants have taken
a definite stand on deliveries
to their customers. While the
object of the delivery modifica
tions is to save labor, they in
volve a saving of money also,
the latter being shared with the
customers through closer
prices on goods.
The state and territorial
councils of defense have been
co-operating in this campaign
which, with the exception of
four or five states, has been
carried on largely through cor
respondence and conferences.
The board’s recommendations
have been adopted as a whole
or in part in cities with a total
population of 16,000,00°, and
as a result at least 15,000 men:
called for war service have not
had to be replaced from the
limited labor supply available
for the essential industries. All
this, however, has been prelim
inarv a gems oi me siare coun-i
.1
oils and other representatives
of the board are now to go over
the country town by town and
press for the adoption of the
entire program.
The Cordova grocers have i
fallen in line with the new or
der of things and adopted a
delivery system, effective next '
Monday, which provides foim
deliveries at stated hours, as
follows: 11 o’clock a. m., Third I
and Fourth avenues; 1 p. m.,1
Ocean Dock; 2:30 p. ra., Rail
road row and Old Town.
In some of the Alaskan
towns the meat markets have
also inaugurated the cash and
delivery system.

WHY PERMIT IT?
The raid on the Daily Call,
publication of Rod Socialists,
and tie1 Industrial Worker, or-j
gan of tho I- W. W.’s in Seat- J
tie, is defenceless.
Mob law cannot be sustained
by any argument
But why does the govern
ment allow publications to be!
circulated that debase patriot-!
ism, sneer at the war, and dial-'
longe the good intentions of the
whole people?
“Lead us not into tempta
tion,” is a petition that might
be directed to the government
which allows publication of
vile matter that tries men’s
souls and makes true patriots
see red.
