SATURDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1918
w nm i an«LL wc. uvj Auuu i I I ;
An example of real patriotism that <
amounts to more than standing on
the corner and shouting “Hurrah" is
shown by the Loyal Leagues of Huby
and Long City.
These two groups of Alaskans,
which probably include nearly all the
residents of the two places, were
greatly aroused when two neutral
declarants in each place claimed ex
emption from military service by be
coming men without a country Ruby
and Long have both given freely of
their effort and devotion, as well as
their money, to help win the war.
Their voting men have gone in the*
draft and haw volunteered, giving
evidence of the feelings of loyalty and
love for country which holds sway
"'•'t* he majority of the citizens in
the two (amps.
'nl it was because of this that
•hcv e11• n incensed over the fact
that these men would put this blot
'i! on the honor of the community.
The two leagues were not content
merely to condemn these men and
givo them the contempt which they i
so richly deserve. They went still
farther, and took definite action
against them. They both passed res
olutions the sentiment of which is
that the men in question should he
run out of camp.
And. indeed, their contention is
well taken. They say in these reso
lution:- that the actions of these men
are a blot upon the general reputa- |
ti(-n and patriotism of the community
and an injustice to the millions of
ft ..i.. ; . _
ami the right They say further that!
the members of the leagues will do |
everything that can be lawfully done
to force ttie men from the community !
nmi to prohibit them from exploiting i
the public domain They brand them!
umiuestionahiv ns undesirable citizens |
and as such they will be treated.
It is presumable that they are
miners, and as such they have no
moral right to literally dig riches from
(he land which they repudiate. They
should not lie allowed to live off the !
country which they are unwilling to j
light for. and have any share in a
prosperity which they arc not willing i
to protect.
linin' and Long both considered i
that it vis up to tlic patriots and
loyal citizens of the two camps to
brand these men as undesirable and
take steps to stop their liarisltic ox
istence in iheir communities.
Fairbanks lias had several of such !
cases, but so far no definite action
has been taken by the citizens of the
town against them Fairbanks has!
also been above reproach previous to j
this as far ns her reputation for lov
nlty and patriotism is concerned. It i
is a regrettable fact that this blot
should he allowed to remain on her
good name without any repudiation of
it by the true red-blooded patriotic
citizens of the town.
Violence Is not to be considered, but
there might be measures taken to
show the world that such men are
considered undesirables here, and
that the community Is not going to
allow this injustice to be done to the
millions of patriots who are fighting
the good light In a ease of this sort
definite action should be taken. The
or against such an action on the part
or against such an action on th epart
of any member of the community.
Silence here lends consent, and does
the town harm through giving the Im
pression that public sentiment is not
decidedly against such people.
Surely Fairbanks is no less patri
otic than either Ruby or Long. Surely
Fairbanks is not willing (hat. such a
black mark should endure on Its good
name without taking steps to take it
off the town and put it unquestion
ably against the men who made it
Surely there is enough civic pride In
Fairbanks to make it an impossibility
for such a discredit to be left against
her name without any effort to re
pudiate it. Surely there is enough pa
triotism and love for country in this
ermp so that it will come out in no
uncertain terms against the coward
ice of the men who would hide behind
their nationality to save their skins.
These men are undesirables; of (hat
there can be no question. What shall
we do about It? Shall we sit calmly
by and allow them to get as much as
they can out of the country, after
they have shown an uttor disregard
for the obligation which is a part ot
citizenship?
"Rreathes there a man with soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land;"

THE FLAG
The following poem has been con
tributed by Irene Spangler, 13 years
old, of Chitina:
The flag with the red. white and the
blue.
The one with the stars, is calling for
you.
Many's the heart that has bled.
Many's the soul that has sped
For the red. white and blue.
Come! do your duty; we're In a great
war;
For part of the world is bathed in
human gore.
You won't be the only one who an
swers the call.
Many's the one who has shot a ball
For that red, white and blue.
Do your bit: that's all you can do.
The flag, I tell you. is calling you.
Leave your home, your money and
land.
And come and stand
lly tin- red, white and blue
