RIDING THE BUMPS OF THE WAR
NEWS
Po you ride all the bumps of the
war news from day to day? Many
good patriots do. Each evening
brings its passing changes in the war
situation—now gloom, in the form of
a setback on the western front, or!
further disintegration in Russia, or
rumors of delay in our own war prep-1
arations. Next afternoon, like as not, I
there will be something of a hopeful
nature, such as the checking of the
Huns’ drive in Italy, or a raid by the !
British or French, or good news here
at home.
To follow and feel all these glees
and glooms from day to day* is human
and exciting.
But it involves much useless wear
and tear of the spirit.
There is another viewpoint—that of
disregarding the daily shifts and
changes in the war situation, keeping
one’s attention concentrated on the
long haul of war and the final result.
That haul is still a long one. For
Germany is not beaten yet, but the
results are sure, because we have
right on our side, and also the largest
battalions. If you grow warm and
then cold, and alternate between en
thusiasm and depression with the
''daily news and changes, you not only
waste your energy, but are likely to
fluctuate in your policy as a business
man and your determination as a pa
triot. The good resolution to save
food, support Uncle Sam financially
and cheerfully, adjust your business;
and habits to the war program, will
be stiffened on the morning that you
read about some Hun atrocity against
our own soldiers in France. But in
a week there may be news of a dif
ferent character, which leads you to
let down a little on tl.e assumption
that Germany has begun to crack and
that the war is about over.
It is good business, good patriotism
and good conservation to concentrate
strictly upon the long, hard grind be
tween today and the final result. That
will save your spirit, buck up your
resolution, and enable you to do your
utmost in winning the war.
Moreover, it will enable you to get
out of the war, as a business man
and a patriot, the utmost benefit from
war adjustments. Those adjustments
make for wiser and more economical
personal habits, as well as a business
grounded in sound economy.
Even should peace come tomorrow
you can never go back to the old
heedless, wasteful ways, either in
business or livelihood.
Don’t ride the bumps of the war
news!
Settle down in harness for the long,
grim haul that counts!

CHAS. A. SULZER
Candidate for Reflection
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska^
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate fcft Delegate to Congress
from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of the
territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in«\e House as Alaska’s
representative to congress. During the most of this tim.’ the United States
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of* e nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single pui^se of winning this
great war. Every member of congress in considering legMiation for the na
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs anSpequirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of%te United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She ha^feiven her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party w’enBbefore the peo
ple of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a cert»i constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a witw- measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy is the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneei\of the coun
“I have introduced among others the following bills in cong\ss which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with hotflo rule the
dominating principle. ^
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair A. all, and
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion. V
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eig^, y rod
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunRv- to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with iheir vegetables
are canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
tor the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”

MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME
Granting that the terrible events of
the war could not have been foreseen,
every good American citizen probably
wishes today that the war prepara
tions, now' so actively progressing, had
been started in this country long ago.
Possibly the war would have been
over now.
But we should not cry over spilled
milk.
The vital question now is, What can
we do now to hurry along that Ameri
can military aid so longingly desired
by our allies.
First of all, peace talk at this time
is c?iminal, and every utterance may
mean the life of a soldier—one of our
boys. It has recently been said that
"the only good pacifist for the terrible
days to come is a dead German.”
* Second, this third Liberty loan for
a minimum of three billion dollars
must be oversubscribed to the total
of five billion dollars. That will help
to make up for lost time.
Every American soldier today1
wishes he was in France, fighting
shoulder to shoulder with those Brit-'
tsh and French heroes. We can help
to get him there quickly if we
our part in the third Liberty loan.^
