SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1918
THE HUN VS. THE PATRIOT
I -
To which do you belong?
Are you among the blood-lust crowd
that wreaks its wrath on women and
babies? Or are you with and for
those who are for progress, prosperity
and protection for the women and the
weak?
Surfely you are for those God loves.
You love children, you are ready to
fight for the honor of your women;
for the protection of your “old folks
at home.”
You did not want to fight. You told
the kaiser you did not want to fight.
But he made you, and now you will!
You’re darned right, you will fight!
Not for a day. Not for a week or a
year. But now and until the day of
the scientific murderer, thug and body
snatcher is gone by. Until the day
when men and women and little chil
dren can walk the earth in peace and
safety. Until despoilers of women and
well-poisoners, gas-dispensers and
four-gang throat cutters are gone for
ever.
1 Bight? Well, I should say you will
'right!
Tlntil every shipyard is three thou-,
sand miles of coast line is putting
freight and fighting vessels into the
water;
Itntil every factory is fitted to ca
pacity to turn out fighting materials
as fast as used;
Until every sturdy shoulder is sup
porting and every eye sighting a gun
in the ranks of sure-shot soldiers
steadily winning the world-war.
Fight? Great guns! how you will
figh ! They said you could not fight—
you were not trained. But you can.
fighi! You've never been licked, and;
no nation is now going to do the
trick, even t it is full of tricks and J
trickery. (
Fight? Well, it’s going to be your
meat until “earth is once more a de
cent place in which to live."
You’re too old, you say? Then trot;
out your dollars and give the man a j
chance who can fight.

ALLIES WILL HOLD THE LINE
The German drive, crushing for
ward by repeated thrusts of the kai
ser’s hordes, regardless of the.
slaughter each drive costs him, is not
the annihilating blow' the kaiser
planned.
Foch says “Wait a bit, wait a bit. ’
As the Americans waited for the j
“whites of their eyes" at Bunker Hill, j
Foch is patiently waiting with his re-1
serves to smash home the one punch
needed to crack the German armor.
Shells by the million have been
dropped on the closely-massed Boche
ranks as they herded up to the line.
Hundreds of tons of high explosives
have been dropped on German troop
and supply trains and on masses of
German troops waiting to attack by
low-flying allied airplanes.
Machine guns, rifles, trench mor
tars have spat bullets and bombs un
til their red heat refused longer to
spare the gunners' hands.
The French have ,held the Boche.
He has thrown his millions against
the British lines, revealing the true
motive of his battles. He coveted
French territory. He hates British
blood. Had the Briton not heeded the
“scrap of paper” the Hun would have
finished off the French and then sa
tiated his all-consuming hatred of the
British by slaughter of unprepared
England at his leisure.
And then none could have stopped
his conquest of the “pigs of Ameri
cans.”
The allies will hold the line.
It is your bonds that provide the
shells, the bullets, the airplanes, the
machine guns and the bayonets that
make that line.
-»
Don’t get the idea into your head
that you’ve done your “bit” just be
cause you've bought a few Liberty
bonds that are going to pay you in
terest. The boys “over there” have
given up their homes, futures and
lives. Buying bonds until you’re
broke is merely a pledge of your citi
zenship.

CHAS. A. SULZER
Candidate for Re-election
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
! _
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for 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 the House as Alaska’s
representative to congress During the most of this time the United States
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning this
great war. Every member of congress in considering legislation for the na
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United States
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo
ple of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
try.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty rod
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered. v
“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 their 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
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress."
