RED CROSS MASS-MEETING ^ >.
*r,v <Ria^»
At the mass-meeting to be held tomorrow night kt Eagle
hall, every resident of Cordova will have an opportunity of en
rolling as a member of Cordova chapter, American Bed Cross,
which is an honor and distinction any person can well be
proud of.
To join this great organization is the nearest possible al
ternative to joining the army, and the person who by reason of
age or other disabilities cannot join the army and fight in the
trenches should consider it a sacred duty to give all the support
in his power to the people who are handed to make the soldier’s
lot as free from suffering as it can be made.
One thought which we should all keep constantly before
our minds is that sacrifices are to be made by all of us if we do
our simple duty towards winning the war. It is a war of sacri
fices. Every man and woman in the nntion must sacrifice
something, and when the time comes for us to make the small
sacrifice of giving a little of the money which we constantly
squander in useless directions we should do so not with hesi
tancy, but with the feeling that we are doing only something
which the nation wants.

When the house, in the haste of doing things slowly and
poorly, clapped a 10 per cent tariff increase on everythif% that
comes in through United States customs portals, it dared the
fates that demolish business, Prof. Taussig has told the senat
ors. The senate finance committee, looking for a good excuse
to eradicate the 10 per cent generality, decided to call on the
new tariff commission, which for the first time has exercised
an influence over the pestiferous question. Prof. Taussig called
attention to the fact that for more than 100 years certain raw
materials have been admitted duty free, and now suddenly to
lift 10 per cent out of them, he said, would invite business dis
aster on a larger scale. The committee ut once decided that the
Universal 10 per cent plan would have to go. But wasn’t it al
most worth paying for as one of the hysterical comicalities of
a disturbed period?
--.. . . . ;o --
Some are discussing whether or not it is fair to profit by
anything sold to the government. Perhaps by extending the
non-profit theory to the question of wages the absurdity of it
becomes distinct. The government, above all, knows that busi
ness succeeds only by adding something for profit. The govern
ment should pay a fair profit—just what the public has been
paying, when the profit is fair. Any marked reduction in profit
is a pretty good sign that the public has been stretched out for
a “skisaing.”

The Anchorage Times cannot understand why the travel
ing men who visit that town have grave fears for the future
of the muchly-touted railroad terminal. They “go avfay and
join the enemies of this community in knocking it,” says the
Times, which wants the ‘‘knights of the road” to show their
gratitude for business received by ‘‘a few words of kindness.”
How different are conditions in Cordova. Every person who
comes here sees evidences of prosperity and immediately he
oomes a booster of his own volition.

The various Fourth of July committees will meet at the
city hall tonight and formulate the plans for the proper observ
ance of Independence Day. As we are to have Seward us our
guests it behooves the members of every committee to report,
In order that a program befitting the occasion may be
arranged.

East St. Louis is living up to her traditions. That com
munity was born of disorder and always has lived in disrepute
and dirt and miasmic smells, and generally is discontented un
less it is breaking the peace. The sensuous thrills of a race riot
delight the townsmen and enable them to sing “Home, Sweet '
Home” with an especially rich emotion.
**-- ;o ;
Becord crowds are attending the races in Germany, betting
is freely done, and the enthusiasm is high. The Teuton man
ages to keep whistling. His faith and hope are worthy of any
sister nation’s contemplation and emulation—but condemn his
military arrogance 1

of the tax bill. Most of us are paying for too many “dead

Russia is Bending her monks to the front, while the United
States has made special provision to keep her clergymen to the
rear, one the theory perhaps that the pulpit pounders and the
)00-ponnders would shoot better there.

“We are especially watching overhead to frustrate an

Cordova’s ball team is beginning to show some class, and

Cordova is to have for its guests on July Fourth the Seward
business men and baseball team; that they will be welcome and
royally entertained goes without saying.

And, darn it, in view of the solemn fact that we’re Italy’s
