SECRET ENEMIES AT HOME
The task of this country, in the
present war, would be greatly simpli
fied and greatly reduced in its inagni
tude were all our country’s enemies in
he German and Austrian armies. The
fact that there are hundreds of thou
sands, even millions, of enemies scat
tered all over our land, either conspir
ing to poison our soldiers or to poison
public opinion that supports them;
conspiring to dynamite industries mak.
ing munitions and supplies for our
army or to demoralize public opinion
and destroy the morale of the people
upon whom the men in our army and
navy must rely for support—these
facts and these activities mean not
only a prolongation of the war and a
larger loss of fife, but mean tears
Otherwise unshed and sorrow other
wise unknown.
The forces of evil, of disorganiza-.
lion, of disloyalty and of enmity to
America and its institutions are mani
festing themselves in many ways.
Many good people unconsciously fa.ll ^
victim to those sinister forces when
they complain of slight inconveniences
resulting from war conditions; when
they agitate, rail, and criticize because
their business is suspended for a few
days or their profits are lessened by a
lew dollars; when they allow the
spirit of selfishness and of greed to
temporarily outweigh and overbalance
the spirit of sacrifice and of service.
Greed and gain are not weapons
with which we can win this war. They
are the motives that inspired it, as
manifested and illustrated when Ger
many undertakes to talk separate
peace to Russia, wanting to absorb a
large portion of that country and to
dominate the rest. We can win the
wax only with sacrifices, sacrifices yet
^ndreamed of; with service, service
greater than we have anticipated.
Above all, let us keep watch and guard
in order that the enemy may not, by
insidious propaganda, by falsehoods,
innuendos, and agitations, demoralize
the people at home upon whose sol
dierly and patriotic cooperation the
men in our army and navy are depend
ing.—By John J. Cornwell, Governor
of West Virginia.

j PROMPTNESS IS DESIRED
IN WORK FOR REO GROSS
The committee of military relief of
the Cordova chapter of the Red Cross,
asks that every woman who has taken
out yarn to be knit into garments and'
who has had the yarn at home be
yond a reasonable length of time, es
pecially the khaki yarn that was given
out in January, either return the yarn
or the knitted garments. In many
cases there are legitimate reasons why
the knitted garments cannot be re
turned promptly. Many have had ill
ness and business has interfered. The
committee believes that twenty-one
days is an entirely reasonable time to 1
I
knit a pair of socks and thirty days
for a sweater. It is believed that fail
ure to return finished garments has
been on account of a lack of under
standing and it is the wish that every
effort be made to return garments as
quickly as possible. If the yarn is
held out for any length of time, relief
is then being kept from the men at
the front.

The schools of Juneau have been
ordered closed until April 6, or until
further notice, by the Juneau school
board, all children have been barred
from the theaters, and public gather-1
ings of all kinds prohibited by order of
the mayor and city health officers.
This was done in an effort to stamp
out the epidemic of diphtheria.
At the present time there are seven
cases of diphtheria in the city, and
the orders barring children from any,
gatherings, on the streets, or other-1
wise, are said by the physicians of the
city o be the quickest way to stamp
out the disease. <
All of the patients have been quar
antined and are being cared for, but
it is feared that others about the city
may have been exposed and will be
come sick shortly. Every precaution
possible is being taken.
The junior prom dance of the high j
school has been postponed, and the
parochial school has been closed until
further notice. It is thought that by :
the end of ten days’ time the disease 1
will have run its course and it will be;
safe to reopen the schools. 11
The managers of the two theaters!
readily agreed that no children would .
be admitted to their places of amuse- i
ment until further notice.

In a letter received from Rae Gor- [
don, of McCarthy, she denies the re
port that she was arrested as a sus
pect in connection with the murder
of Rose Silberg. She was summoned |
as a witness but was in no way impli- |
cated in the crime. (
The ladies of Cordova are asked to ]
look over the personnel of the Cor- j
dova ticket. Carefully consider the ]
names of the candidates as citizens (
and if they seem worthy you are asked |
to cast your vote for them tomorrow.

lost three sons and the second her <

INTERESTS OE SCHOOfc
AT STAKE TOAAOIIOIAI
Kditor Daily Times:
The people of Cordova, in [he in
terest engendered over the feintest
for councilmen, are likely to oW*00^
the equally important election of a
clerk of the school board. TJjjtn the
children of today depend the safety
of our country, the perpetuation of its
ideals, and the growth and spread of
those ideals until the right oi^r fore
fathers fought and died for, thn right
that our own young men are righting
for in France today, the right to an
equal opportunity for all, for eaci one
of us to work out our own destiny in
our own way, is secured without Ques
tion for our children and ou^ chil
dren's children.
That these ideals may be properly
instilled in the boys and girls of Cor
dova is in the hands of the gchool
board, and therefore each one us,
before voting tomorrow, should ear
nestly consider this question, without
prejudice or rancor, and vote accord
ingly.
There are two candidates tof the]
board, both of them good, but infor-!
tunately we are forced to choose be-]
tween them, and the defeated <andi-'
date must not take his defeat wi hunt!
feeling that this choice had t) be]
made without criticism of himse f.
ft is the belief of many of our peo
ple that the school board should save
a young man on it—a man fresh rom
an institution of learning when he
has learned the newest and bestrieth. j
ods of pedagogy. Those who feel this!
way will vote for Calvin C. Hajelet,
and will therefore vote wisely. F e is
an Alaskan, who has lived in the]ter
ritory many more years than most of ]
;is. He is imbued with the ideals knd
the viewpoint of Alaska. He has;the
point of view of the young. He isjnot (
oo far removed from his own sdjool
lays, and can therefore interpretjthe
mint of view of the pupils much (tet
ter than a man or woman who has '
jeen educated under methods far iif- 1
'erent from those in vogue today.
These statements are not made in
ierogation of Mr. Phillips, but in he
belief that the younger man can today
iring more vital things, more new ife :
nto the school board than the d er I
nan. The election of Mr. Hazelet *fll f
tring hope to those who believe in I
mogressive methods of teaching, and j
edound credit on our town. It is to 1
>e hoped, therefore, that you, Mr. and 1
Wrs. Voter, will cast your ballot for |
Jalvin C. Hazelet tomorrow.
