THIRD RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Cordova Chapter is now actively at
work in the effort to make the third
Red Cross roll call a success, by giv
ing every resident of this section an
opportunity to renew membership in
that organization at the nominal fee
of one dollar. The campaign starts on
Sunday, November 2, and closes on
Armistice day, November 11.
Owing to the changed social and
economic conditions following the war
and the necessary adjustments that
must be made by the nation as a whole
to meet these conditions, the ,Red
Cross is confronted with new respon
sibilities which must be discharged
with the same energy and effective
ness as were those occasioned by the
war.
In addition to carrying on the al
ready established system of national
and international relief in mitigating
the suffering caused by famine, fire,
floods and great national calamities,
there is a strong popular demand for
the Red Cross to co-operate with all
recognized agencies, both public and
private, in the conservation of human
health and happiness.
In general the ^cope of the service
of the Red Cros», in addition tp the
regular disaster function and co-oper
ation with the" military and naval
forces, will be directed to assisting,
stimulating and supplementing all
legitimate movements for the preser
vation, promotion and improvement of
the public health and for bettering liv
ing conditions through applying and
extending the principles of true neigh
borliness.
This means a great national program
which will find expression in many
communities in such activities as pub
lic health, nursing, educational classes
in home nursing, dietics and first aid,
extended home service, co-operation of
school children through junior mem
bership, and other activities later to
be authorized.
The American Red Cross is still an
emergency organization. It must be
realized that there is such a thing
as a continuing disaster; thousands
of babies ynder one year of age die
every year; thousands of mothers die
unnecessarily in child-birth; it is still
possible for an epidemic like the in
' fiuenza to take a toll within a com
pass of a few weeks five times greater
than the losses of our fiation in a year
and a half of war; hundreds of thou
sands of people in the prime of life
die in the United States every year
from wholly preventable diseases. This
is nothing short of disaster which is a
continuing one, and will be permanent
unless the people co-operate with one
another to use the knowledge and
wealth already in existence to bring
the nation into a better day. Many
agencies are already at work on those
problems. The Red Cross will not sup
plant or compete with the efforts of
any established and effective agency,
public or private. But the Red Cross,
prising every element in every com
prising every elecent in every com
munity, many of them themselves vic
tims of the foes that cut short human
life and rob it of its sweetness, can
serve nation and community as can no
other agency in supplementing, rein
forcing and supporting well-direoted
efforts for the conservation of the most
precious things in the world, human
life and happiness.
The boats for the States are now
going out loaded with passengers. Very
soon the real Alaskans, those who
count in the development of tHe terri
tory, will be enjoying themselves as
one big family, without discord.—Sew-,

MONUMENT FOR j
BLUE-BLOODED
AMERICAN
Chairman George C. Hazelet an
nounces that ail arrangements have
been completed for the campaign for
the Roosevelt memorial -fund. The
drive is now on in the States, and
ends next Monday, the birthday of the
illustrious American. The time for
taking subscriptions to the fund has
been extended in Alaska to November
15, and solicitors will at once begin a
canvass for voluntary subscriptions.
It is proposed to raise $10,000,000
to erect a monument in Washington,
D. C.. and acquire a park at Oyster
Bay in memory of the late ex-presi,
dent.
The following excerpts are taken
from the teachings of Theodore Roose
velt:
“According to our ability we intend
to safeguard the rights of the mighty;
but we intened no less jealously to
safeguard the rights of the lowly. Our
ideal is equal justice for all—justice
alike for the rich man and the poor
man who do right; and the same stern
justice for the rich man and the poor
man who do wrong.”
“Dishonest leadership is a curse
anywhere, but nowhere is it a greater
curse than in the labor movement. If
there is one lesson which I would
rather teach my fellow-Americans
than any other, it is to hound down
the dishonest man—no matter what
his condition—and to brush aside with
impatient contempt the creature who
denounces dishonesty only when it is
found in some special social stratum.
Hunt down the dishonest man without
regard to class; and if he belongs to
your class, hunt him down a little
quicker.”
“If the people of America are con
tent to send to represent them in the
state or national legislature men who
they know in their heart of hearts
have not obtained their office hon
estly, but have obtained their office
dishonestly and by corruption; who
they know have practiced corruption
hi public life, they may make up their
minds that they will get the govern
ment to which they are entitled, and
a bad government it will be.”
“We entirely understand that after
the best possible laws have been ob
tained, and after they have been en
forced in the most efficient possible
manner, it will yet remain true that
the chief factor in each man’s suc
cess or failure must be that man’s in
dividual character; but while fully rec
ognizing this fact, we nevertheless in
sist that good laws and honest ad
ministration of these laws can be made j
to play a very real and effective part
in the betterment of mankind."
