PRESIDENT WILSON’S APPEAL
Because they have had, since his
election, an abiding faith in Presi
dent Wilson, Alaskans have never
failed to do his bidding; nor have
they had reason to doubt the wisdom
of any course he has advocated, or
that he has taken such intelligent
and active interest on their behalf
as was never before demonstrated
by any of his predecessors in office.
Two years ago the Territory re
turned a Democratic delegate to
Congress, electing this means to give
tangible expression to an apprecia
tion of the President and a deter
mination to support him in so far
as possible.
The beneficiary of this upheaval
in the Territory's politics, Charles
A. Sulzer, was known well in only
the First Division, but after he had
made his campaign, he had impressed
on such parts of the country as he
visited the conviction that he was
an able, conscientious young man
imbued with a vast amount of en
thusiasm for the work he was nder-•
taking.
In eighteen months Delegate
Sulzer has demonstrated that he
is n worker along lines that lead
to achievement. The manliness
which won adherents in his cam
paign compelled that friendship and
confidence among his fellow workers
at Washington which is an essential
m the securing of favorable legis
lation. He secured for the Terri
tory one-seventh of all the local
legislation passed by the 65th Con
gress. Cabin'll ministers, senators
and representatives have written
urging his return to Congress to
continue the work he has so capably
inaugurated
And now comes President Wilson
with an appeal to the American
people urging the support of the
Democratic party on the plea that
the return of a majority of Re
publicans would be interpreted by
the nations of Europe as a repudia
tion of his leadership and a weak
ening of our resolution to prosecute
the war to a victorious conclusion.
It would therefore seem that there
should be no hesitation on the part
j of Alaskans at the polls a week from
Tuesday, for by voting1 for Mr- '
Sulzer they insure* for themselves
capable representation at the national
< capital and at the same time give
indorsement, by the only means at
their command, to the policies of a
| leader who has won the unqualified
respect and admiration of the entire
civilized world.
RED CROSS
AT WAR
!
i
The American Red Cross has just
taken steps to overcome one of the
greatest hardships suffered by the
American soldiers during a battle,
says an Associated Press corres
pondent, writing from Paris. Many
men in the course of an action re
cei\e slight wounds which render
them incapable of continuing in the
ranks and they are at once sent to
the nearest dressing station on foot
if they are able to walk.
Everything on a modern battle- 1
field is generally turned into an
unrecognizable heap by the terrific 1
artillery tire which precedes an ‘
assault and the wounded, whose ner- 1
vous systems are rapidly sapped by *
pain and loss of blood, have diffi
culty in finding their way back over 1
the ground they have stormed. 1
To alleviate the sufferings of the 1
wounded boys, the American Red c
1 ross is furnishing thousands of '
small signs made of white cloth f
with a large red cross at one end s
and a red arrow at the other to s
indicate the direction which the
wounded must take. These signs are :
to be fixed to trees, bushes, posts 1
or other objects in the wake of J
advancing troops, and even laid on (
the ground when no other method r
is at hand. >
Army officers have told the Red
< ross officials that these markers r
will probably save the lives of a c
large number of men and avoid 1
grave consequences to many, as the
seriousness of any wound depends a
greatly on the prompt treatment s
it receives.

EDUCATOR DIES
OF INFLUENZA
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Elia Flagg
Young, famous educator and chair
man of the Women’s National Com
mittee of the Liberty Loan cam
paign, died today, the cause of
death being the effects of an at
tack of influenza.
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young was one
of the best known women educators
in the United States. She was the
leader of progressive educational
ideas to which she devoted more
than fifty years of her life.
She was chosen superintendent of
Chicago public schools in 1909 from
a list of six candidates, five of whom
were men educators of national
reputation. She succeeded Edwin
G. Cooley and was the first woman
to be selected superintendent of
schools in one of the largest Ameri
can cities- As head of the public
schools of Chicago she was intrusted
with the education of 300,000
children.
She inaugurated many important
reforms, among these being the
teaching of sex hygiene, the en-:
largement of the kindergarten course
an increase in the scope of the voca
tional training department and sim-1
plification of the euriculum of the
primary grades.
She was aggressive ar.u possessed
treat executive ability She insisted
lpon the complete divorce of poli-1
tics from the public schools and
fought many successful battles in
;upport of this principle.
In 1913 a faction of the Chicago
ichool board planned to oust her
rom her position as superintendent.
5he anticipated the move by sud
lenly resigning. Mayor Harrison
vas appealed to by the public to
tave her withdraw her resignation
md return to her official duties, al
hough she was nearly 70 years old
t the time.
Mrs. Young declined to return
inless her enemies on the school
oard retired. Mayor Harrison was 1
bliged to accept the resignation 1
f five trustees before Mrs. Young :
■•ould again assume her official 1
uties. She triumped in every clash '
he had with the politicians in the '
chool board affairs.
Mrs. Young was born in Buffalo, ’
>• Jan. 15, 1845 and was brough', 1
0 Chicago by her parents when a 1
oung girl. She graduated from the '
hicago public schools and was ap- 1
ointed teacher in the primary grade 1
1 18C2, when she was 17 years old. 1
She was married to a Chicago 1
lerchant in 1868, but her husband '
ied a year later and she returned '
a teaching. 1
“I would rather teach than do 5
nything in the world.” Mrs. Young
lid on one occasion. ^
President William R. Harper of s
ie University of Chicaga, who was ‘
pposed to the appointment of 1
omen to important posts, made an f
sception in Mrs. Young’s case and a
ppointed her a professor in the v
apartment of pedagogy in 1899.
Mrs. Young at first declined to 1
•cept, saying: "I haven’t a doctor’s 5
igree and I don’t want to be teach- a
g those who are working for their P
gher degrees when I haven’t one f
yself.”
“It’s the woman we want and not
e degree,” remarked President r
arper as he insisted she accept it. r
Finally she consented to take the
ace on condition that she should •
rst earn her degree.
She left the University of Chicago
1905 to become principal of the
hicago Normal School, a place she ,
dained until appointed superintend- (
it of Chicago’s public schools in
i)09. |
She was president of the National i
duration Association in 1910 and
911.

with whom he promtply falls in love. I
Several difficult situations arise, J

fugitive from justice for a long
time. In these black hours, he man
ages to see Adele and tells her the
truth with such sincerity that she
believes and shelters him. The situ
ation is finally cleared, and “Cameo”
stands forth again in his true'
colors as a chivalrous Southern i
gentleman. j
Feature prices will prevail, the!
admission being 50 cents, with re
