CORDOVA,'ALASKA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBERS), 1917.
THE NEED OF ECONOMY AND SAVING.
TBe United States is now at war. A large part of our coun
try’s human energy is taken away from the farms, factories,
and industries of peace, and until tin* war ends all their energies
will be devoted to fighting.
A great portion of our productive energy is being turned into!
the creation of implements of destruction. Many of our prod
nets are now devoted to the purposes of war. Destruction in
stead of construction is the object of a great portion of the
country’s energy.
As much of the human energy and productive capacity of j
the Nation are now being devoted to the purposes of war,so
should the proper amount of the money of the United States be !
so devoted. He who offers his life for his country is offering]
the greatest possible sacrifice, but the American men and j
women who support the Government with their money are do
ing their part.
This war is going to be financed largely out of the savings i
of the American people during the war. It is not too great a !
sacrifice to make for one’s country in time of war to deny one’s j
self luxuries, to cut down unnecessary expenses, to lead quiteri
and busier lives. Not only will the money thus saved and used .
to buy Liberty Loan Bonds help the United States but the di-1
minished consumption of food and other articles will do much I
to relieve the country from the strain of war.
The less people use the less strain there is upon the pro- !
ductive capacity of the Nation and the more can be devoted to p
winning the war; the more the people save the more liberal]!
financial support can they give the Government. This is the]
people’s war, and it is to be financed by the American people,I
not by the rich and not by the poor, but by the rich and the
poor, the capitalist and*the wage earner, the miner and the far
mer and the manufacturer.

THE DRAFT FOR LOAFERS
The world will give hearty approval to the spirit, at least,
of the bill now pending in congress, introduced by Representa
tive Johnson of South Dakota, which provides for the con
scription of the idlers for the great labor army which war will
necesitate. I< may not be practicable as now framed, but it is
a step in the right direction.
It makes one boil to think of taking our best men and send
ing them into the army to fight for the thousands of bums who
won’t even earn their own bread and butter. We need some
sort ol a law to make the loafers do one of the two things—work
‘‘ft&J'htr- J± «Rt..f^o Um^jn^oun^f^^to ask
The idea is gaining ground everywhere and before long the
man who has no history of work behind him must either join the
army or the workers. It is but the simplest justice to the rest
ot mankind. Men who will not work should be made to fight ]
the nation’s battles if they are physically able, and if they can-1
not tight they must be made to work. Society which is at war!
tor its own preservation has no time for drones and idlers. It is !
time for everyone to do one of the two great things—fight or
work.
-:o--.—.
All local camonlleurs can get good positions in the war de
partment. A camoufleur is a fellow who can color an army so
it can’t be seen. The bug called the walking stick that stands
unseen in the small branches of a tree is one of the best of our
camouflage artists.

An active part in three wars—that is the record of Major
General \V . H. Carter, recalled from the retired list to active
command ot the central department at Chicago. He saw ser
vice duiing the Civil war and the Spanish war—anil now he’s
back in the harness again.
