City Official Paper
MOVE, ALASKA, JULY 3, 1915.
Tomorrow is the one hundred and
fortieth anniversary of the day upon
which the founders of the American
nation declared their faith in the be
lief that the Divine Creator had or
dained that mankind should live In a
state of freedom, unoppressed hy any
laws save those which He had himself
created and, in pursuance of which
idea, they declared themselves free of
the shackles of earthly tyranny. To
them the anniversary of the declara
tion of Independence was a day to be
looked upon with reverence and a
devout thankfulness that God had
seen fit to hear them nut in the de
sire to live In their own way and bad
enabled them, weak and defenseless as
they were, to overcome the strength of
a mighty nation and the usurpations
of a tyrannical ruler. We cannot say
that the same spirit that ntfiimated oub
forefathers in the observance of the
day has vanished from the land for It
Is believed that there are many who
recognize Independence Day at Its true
value; who realize that underneath
the noisy outward observance Is a
deeper significance than is apparent
and that the day is really one to be
observed with a devout thankfulness
far removed from the blare of trumpets
and the boom of guns. Yet, to the
great majority of even the most patri
otic citizens, the day is merely a holi
day—a period to be spent in merry
making and rejoicing with little
thought of the inestlmlble boon that
the day has conferred upon us through
the tolls and strife of our forebears
who fought and suftfred that we
might have the blessings of freedom
and the occasion to rejoice at what
they had bought, with their life blood
as tbe price. It Is unfortunate that th«
general run of people have no deeper
regard for the day which means to us
far more than any other earthly bless
ing can bestow—namely, the right to
live and think as we please in a condi
tion of unoppressed freedom. And it
is still more unfortunate that each suc
ceeding generation has apparently
even less regard for the true signifi
cance of the day than had the preced
ing one. It is really a matter for re
gret that a loftier idea of the day is
not instilled Into the minds of the ris
ing generation that they may come to
recognize that, in addition to being a
day for rejoicing. It is also a day to he
observed with revcrnnce and thankful
ness.
The death of Porflrlo Diaz, late Pre
sident of the Mexican Republic, marks
the passing from the world of one of
its most remarkable figures. Horn of
humble stock and in the midst of con-1
ditlons not at all conducive to the de
velopment of greatness, lie neverthe
less rose to the heights of human pow
er and, in the development of his own
career, brought his country out of a
condition of chaos to a position of
respect among the nations of the earth.
With the exception of the first Napol
eon there are few of the modern great
who won their way to fame through
their own exertions with greater effort
than did the dusky skinned autocrat
who, through a period of over thirty
years, guided the destines of the Mex
icans. That he, in the end forgot the
duties which he owed to his people, is
an unfortunate blot upon the escut
oheon of hts fame, but that he was the
greatest factor in the upbuilding of his
country cannot he gainsaid. His gov
ernment of Mexico was marked by an
era of wonderful progress and devel
opment. From the midst of strife and
turmoil, such as now marks the na
tion's history, through the power of an
tndomltible will, he brought the coun
try to a condition of peace and pros
perity that was utterly unknown until
his coming. From the day that he was
first seated in the place of power the
rise of the Mexican Republic • began
and continued, with an ever increasing
prosperity, until the system which lie
had espoused ns the one means of
pacifying the country at the beginning,
crumbled beneath its own weight and
he was compelled to lay down the con
trol of the government which had
grown unbearable, not through the di
rection of the ruler but rather through
having outlived its usefulness. While
there is much attached to his career
for which he can be severely censured,
it is none the less true that in the
opinion of the world he was entitled to
he regarded as one of the greatest
Americans of the past century.
Recent court decisions are tending
strongly to hold the citizen to com
munity obligations and to remind him
that, while this country's laws afford
him a large degree of individual liberty
he is necessarily limited in its enjoy
ment by the exercise of common rights
and privileges by others, one has
large liberty of action up to the point
of making himself a nuisance to others,
and at that point it ceases. Tile court
have spoken strongly along this line
and in a variety of cases. Recently a
citizen was fined for beating carpets
In his back yard, located in a con
gested neighborhood. The court held
that Ills release of germ-laden dust
was a menace to the health and com
fort of his neighbors. Another court
enjoined the wanton and needless
cooking of cabbage and sauerkraut, in
the caBe of a neighborhood row in
which the cooking wns accomplished
for the purpose of annoyance. Also
property owners have been fined for
allowing their premises to lapse into
such neglected condition as menaced
the public health. The courts have
been Insistent in these and other cases
In the enforcement of the obligations
of the citizens to the community. More
general recognition of this principle
Would remove much discord in human
affairs and sweeten life generally. The
'continued enjoyment and conservation
of our own rights is consequent upon
'respect for the rights and privileges of
others.—Seattle P. I

TUNGSTEN
Tungsten is used principally as an
alloy of high-speed steel that is. steel
used in making tools used In metal
turning lathes running nt high speed
to which it imparts the property "f
holding temper at higher temperature
than carbon steels will, according to'
the United States Geological Survey, j
The now well-known ductile tungsten
is used for incandescent lamps, which
are fast displacing carbon lamps. Re
cently greatly improved lamps, in
which the wire is wound in helices
and in which the globes are tilled
with nitrogen, have produced a dose
approach to white light. These lamps
are furnished in candle powers up to
2,000. Ductile tungsten Is practically
insoluble in all the common arids: |
Its melting point is higher than that
of any other metal, its tensile strength
exceeds that of iron and nickel, it is
paramagnetic, it can he drawn to
smaller sizes than any other metal
(0.0002 inch in diameter.) and its spe
cific gravity is 70 per cent higher titan
that of lead.
GOOD-BY, DOLLAR
Every dollar you send out of town
flys away with a VALUE that right
fully belongs to YOUR community.
Spend It at home, with your home
merchant, where Its value stays with
YOU and helps to build up YOUR In
terests. When you come to think of It
there are only two kinds of dollars the 1
"Dollar with Wings” and the “Devel- :
opment Dollar.” The "Dollar with;
Wings” goes to build up the Far Dis
tant City, the Rig Metropolis, with id
vice and crime and low wages and
poverty. The "Development Dollar"
goes to build up the Home Town. It
helps build up a nation of real men and
women. Then, let us make the dollars
we spend "Development Dollars,” horn •
town builders, building for us and our
neighbors and our children, making1
OUR community more prosperous,
more happy, more contenter hy sub
