WHAT A DIF FERENC E:
Isn't it strange how ~ l - States Army
uniform worn by the retu . hoys from the
military camps changes ?K rte people's feel
ing.’ Before the boys were . rafted, whenever
we met one of them-speci:. reigner. a feel
ing of distrust came oier > e never knew
and much less sure of our . a. as it were.
The possibility ;ha: he v. .. was constant
ly on our mind. What a :c.tnce today and
all due to that uniform, th: n-ignia that de
notes a willingness to tu; t the country and
the stay-at-home old c h. . - nd the feeling
we have now is a feeling . r faction, a feel
ing when we meet one that meet a friend
we can trust. An American the first rank,
for it takes a man to wear tie Sam's army
uniform.
Only 3 few days ago. a man .caring the uni
form came in our office v-h: . u’d but poorly
speak our language, yet e the presence
of a real friend. We felt v., -ere speaking to
a true blue American. _n tn: presence ot a
man wearing that uniform - e feel we can
speak our mind about the liter-, because he is
an American. He is r. .t. the foreigner
we mistrusted only a fc ' ago; although
he might have been at :1 :rt: p ossessed of
the disposition tough: country of his
choice just as much as he lay. Neverthe
less we must admit that -e mistrusted him
simply because he had r "ed his metal.
What a difference tcd:> ! " lAe to meet and
speak to him because gr> ad of him—
he is an American. There - “pro nor “bol
shevism’ about him. He .meiican thru
and thru.
THE TIME I- SK- *RT
Let every voter within :h wn limits re
member that unless one r : ters. one cannot
vote next Tuesday, and - . tear thereafter
one shall nave r.o right - anything about
the management of the -•m.r.ur.ity** affairs.
Registration closes Suture:.; .ring early.
A few days ago. the of Pioneers
warned the public acs. • they call the
”F. J. Furnival Tickc: * warned” be
cause if the Pioneers - h nothing to do
with that ticket, they must - - reasons, and
the notice to the public r effect should
suffice to put all the voters on thir guard, re
gister and vote for progressive men in the sane
way; not theorists nor get-rich-quick, for they
are dangerous anywhere .specially in a commu
nity like ours. Moreover, this is reconstruction
time and not experimental time. Let us take
up our municipal affairs where we left them at
the outbreak of the war instead of trying new
stunts advocated by a few bolsheviks. To that
end we must register.
BOLSHEVISM’S APPEAL
Bolshevists in Russia promised the Russian
people that if they were placed in power the
poor would be well fed. richly clothed and have
money to burn. All this, of course, without
working for it. That is the Bolshevist's most
glittering appeal to the ignorant, the vicious,
the rapacious and the lazy. Also the easily led.
the offer of ali the material comforts of life
without working for it. Our few imported bol
shevists are doing the same here.
Bolshevism got into power in Russia. Indus
try was thrown into the hands of the ignorant
mobs and screaming orators. No work worthy
of the name was done. Why should a Bolshe
vist work, when he could confiscate food and
clothing and money and women from the hated
"oourgoisrer . mis is just exactly wnat our
local bobhevists are trying to do. Are we
going to let them?
Airmen are planning to orgd
pose of killing whales. We th
the pur
company
should be pursuaded to bring our mail occasion
ally. Better still, the government should give
the company a contract to that effect. Here
is the new Chamber of Commerce's best oppor
tunity.
Holland's willingness and readiness to agree
to the allies' demands come too late to have any
value.for they have the appearance of jumping
in the band wagon rather late in the ride. A
safety first friend is no friend in need.
According to a late report, the Botshevikis
have executed a Swedish Red Cross delegate.
Bolshevism certainly lives up to its ”made-in
Germany" origin. But they 11 get Lenine yet.
Nothing hurts business quite so badly as the
present mail service. With a boat once every
four or five weeks it is nearly impossible for
our merchants to do business on a paying basis
Stocks are hied up: prices drop between boats
and seasons come and go. but the mails stay
away for ever. The past three months has giv
en us about two boats and a half, with a frei
ghter thrown in for good measure. With air
planes reducing rime between New York and
Washington to SO minutes and with good train
service between these points it looks as if the
pcstoffice department would exhibit solicitation
in Alaska's welfare and see that we receive our
mail at least once every two weeks.— Valdez
