H. G. STEEL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
CORDOVA, ALASKA, FRIDAY KVKNINQ, .IFXK 2, 1010
WE SHOULD RESTRAIN OURSELVES.
Theodore Roosevelt, in his address to the Business Men s
League at St. Louis, handled without gloves the citizen of for
eign birth or extraction who persists in his sympathies tor the
belligerents in the European war to the extent that he forgets
his allegiance to the United States.
It is not only the direct harm which his activities ma\
cause, but by his constant work, he gives the impression that
all others of his same origin are in sympathy with him, thus
giving a large number of his fellow-citizens an unearned repu
tation for disloyalty.
Roosevelt’s chief attack was directed against members ot
the German-American Alliance, a society composed largely ot
naturalized Germans, who in their zeal to help their mother
country are attempting to influence tin* members of congress
who represent their districts.
These persons, says Roosevelt, are guilty of moral treason,
as they so far forget themselves as to endorse measures which,
while they are in the interests of Germany, would ultimately
work to the disadvantage of the United States.
It is well for all to ponder over the utterances of Roose
velt. There probably is no person in America today but who ‘
has a leaning toward one side or the other in the present Eu
ropean war. If they are human they must have their sympa- j
tides. But it is well for all to remember that the United States <
comes first, and any action which would benefit any one of the
foreign nations and work a hardship on our own coun^jry slum Id i
be frowned upon.
This war is not going to last forever. When it is over, the
United States wants to be in a position where she can feel that
none of the warring nations can point to any act as unfriendly.
It is possible for us to emerge in this manner-only if the admin
istration has the united' support of all the people, and that it
should have. £
“My country, right or wrong,’’ should be the motto of all
true Americans.

THE CREED OF THE KHQCKER.
“1 believe that nothing is right. I believe that everything
wii-nng. I believe that I alone have the right ideas. The
towiths wrong, the editor is wrong, the teachers are wrong, the
people are wrong, the things they do are wrong, and they are
doing them in the wrong way anyhow.
“1 believe 1 could fix things if they would let me. It they
don’t 1 will get, a lot of other fellows like myself and we will
have a law passed to make others do thingsithe way we want
, them done. _ l
“1 do not believe that the town ought to grow. It is too
big now. I believe in fighting every public, improvement ami
spoiling everybody’s pleasure. 1 am always-to the tiont in
opposing things, and never yet advanced an idea or supported
a movement that would make the people happier or add to the
pleasure of man, woman or child'.
“I am opposed to fun, and am happiest when at a funeral.
“I believe in starting reforms that will take the joy out
of life. ,
“It’s a sad world, and l am glad of it. Amen.”—St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

— .The fact that the people of Europe are now put to the ne
cessity of eating dogs and cats, is a fair sample of the results
of war. While no conflict in which the United States ever
could be engaged would result in such hardships on the people,
it is just as well to remember that it would cause great suffer
ings to the non-combatants as well as the men in the field.
There is one safe way to maintain peace. That is adequate pre
paredness, and the sooner the better.
-:o:——
“Untainted Americanism” is a new one trom the presi
dent’s depository of expressions. He’s talking about a state
of mind, not about a blood condition. Many of our best Ameri
cans are still talking with a brogue; some of our worst profess
to trace their ancestry to the Mayflower.
-:o:
One of the religious organizations has condemned as im
moral both the short skirt and the “sport” shirt, and they’ll I
now have a vogue to beat anything since the moralists de
nounced “Three Weeks.”
The spy Lincoln, former member of the British parlia
ment, is going back to face the music in London, it is easy to ,
guess that the music will be a well known selection from
Chopin.

The reckless daring exhibited by American aviators serv
ing with European armies is almost convincing that our idle
rich have found a field at last.
