FOURTH OF JULY BEACON FOR
WORLD
a _
Will the Fourth of July, in the
years that lie just ahead, retain for
Americans that magical devotion
which we call patriotism? In these
days when the Bolsheviki are preach
ing the utter destruction of national
ism and when idealists are forming
leagues to combine internationalism
and nationalism, we cannot help won
dering what will be the role and pres
tige of patriotism in the new world
order. Shall the work of the fore
fathers hold for us but a mild in
terest? Shall we regard that wofk as
merely formative of the international
spirit and state? Are Bunker Hill,
Valley Forge, Washington, Lafayette,
Jefferson, Lincoln, Gettsburg and Ap
pomatox to lose for us the signifi
cance that has invested these names
with a poetic spell?
When we read the speeches of the
ten great orators of ancient Greece
we see that love of country was as
deep then as it ever has been in our
day. It led to sacrifices as glorious
as any which were displayed by
Americans in the world war. Little
Greece, because of that power we
name patriotism, was endowed with
an almost supernatural ability to
withstand Asiatic barbarism. Again
and again a few thousand men, as at
Thermopylae and Marathon, over
threw the geaming myriads of Persio.
In the great war which ended but
recently the spirit of patriotism was
as potent as ever. Not only the citi
zens and subjects of the great pow
ers, but the suppressed populations of
once glorious nations, displayed a
love of country which seemed to
have nothing in common with inter
nrtionalism. They sought to lift their
nations once again to their old places
in the world and to keep alive the
spirit of nationalism, the spirit of
patriotism.
Which is to win—nationaism, inter
nationalism or the combination of sen
timents proposed by the idealists?
It seems a safe prediction that,
whatever the future may hold out in*
the way of world reorganization,
patriotism will continue to shine as
luminously as ever in the hearts of
men.
The other day a French socialist,
Gaston Routier, was sentenced to
death for giving information to th#
enemy. The sentence was passed in
-default, for Routier was in hiding. In
tho midst of war he had gone from
France to Spain, where he established
La Paix, a newspaper designed to
spread German propaganda. It was
financed by Bolo Pasha wpo was ex
ecuted as a traitor.
Routier is a man without a country
but if internationalism triumphs there
is no reason why he should be a
hunted man with a price upon his
head, execrated by friend and foe
alike. He will be a herd of Bolshe
vism.
But Bolshevism cannot triumph.
The day will never come when men
of the type of Gaston Foutier, or Bolo
Pasha and Benedict Arnold will be
revered by mankind. In our own land,
at his very time, socialists of radical
tendencies, anarchists and Bolshe
vists are attempting to make a hero
pf Victor Berger and he Is doing his
best to surround himself with an
atmosphere of martyrdom. But Berger
has joined tho ranks of the Benedict
Arnolds and Aaron Burrs and the day
will not come when his ideals will be
exalted above the ideals of patriotism.
The Bolshevtkl are substituting an
Ideal which has no life and can evoke
no love. It Is, In Aset, the contradic
\ tlon of love. It calls for class hatred
and class war. They are striving to
internationalise hatred and the result
will be war within nations, war be
tween the classes.
If interna tledallsm means the
brotherhood of mas it is an old ideal;
"i *
and will survive. In truths we may
expect to work great changes in the
world of today. The signs are all
about us, but the signs are equally
clear that'patriotism will continue lo
be as potent an Influence in the life
of the world as it has been since
nations began. The moral influence
of the Fourth of July is today more
powerful than any League of Nations
can ever be cause the ideals which
produced American patriotism are be
coming world's ideals.
VOICE OF THE ALA8KA PRESS
How pleasing to the eye and self
satisfying to one's pride is our little
ci^y now that the Spring clean-up has
been put across. Appeal was made to
civic prl/le, and people were urged to
make their localities better places in
which to live. This was good and
desirable, but why not keep cleaned
up all the year round? If things are
not thrown into the streets, particu
larly bits of waste paper, they will
not have to be picked up. Receptacles
for refuse if placed in back yards, and
used will help much to maintaining a
condition of neatness. The cleanly
habit can be easily acquired.—Skag
way Alaskan.
It is predicted that there will be a
labor shortage in America owing to
the fact that so many foreigners are
going back to their own countries.
Better a shortage than a surplus as
far as the working man is concerned.
—Douglas News.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Alaska is without a regularly elected
representative at the national capital,
the interests of the territory appear
to be well looked after. And it is
also apparent, from press dispatches
received from Washington, that there
is a disposition, on the part of the
members of the house apropriations
committee, to give special considera
tion to requests for aid to promote the
devlopment of our Northern territory.
This in indicated by the veiy prompt
and favorable action on the requests
of Secretary Lane for funds to con
tinue work on the railroad until the
end of the fiscal year.—Nenana News.
A curious exchange, evidently edit
ed by a bachelor, asks why women’s
stockings are so long and men socks
so short. Well, you see, a ihan’s, er,
clothing comes down a long way into
his socks, while a woman’s, er—the
businesses you see in the windows of
the dry goods stores,—sort of bifur
cated, hemstitched, tucked and cut
bias dulaperdingus, as it were—Gee!
It’s a hot day, ain’t it? This editing a
fashion department is strenuous busi
ness. But as we were saying, the, er
gp.rment, is calculated to cover as
much territory as a peace conference,
but it don't come down very far, so,
as the ladies get along now with an
umbrella cover for a skirt, to save
cloth and expense, presumably if the
stockings were socks you see they
would resemble a regiment of Kil
ties in the July breeze and—ah, shut
up. What’s it any of your business,
anyway?—Valdez Miner.
SEWARDHOLDS
CARNIVAL TO
H0N0R_PEACE
SEWARD, June 30 (Special to the

collier and radio men. Broadway was
roped off from Washington to Adams

of the features was a pajama dance
by a corterie of young girls. Refresh
ments were also served on the streets.
At 10:30 the merry makers adjourned
to the Arctic Brotherhood hall where
Mayor Clhamberlain made a short ad
dress and handed over the key of the
city to the Saturn boys. Dancing fol
lowed interspered with various enter
tainment numbers. The entire pro
