NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 14, 1917.
DO YOUR BIT.
The United States is committed to a
war for humanity and a world demo
cracy. Congress has pledged all the
resources of the country to bring the
conflict to an early and successful
termination.
It is therefore the duty of every
citizen to rally to the support of the
president, regardless of his party af
li'ilatlons or of his sympathy or lack
of sympathy with the causes In which
we are to fight.
It does not matter that we may be
"fighting England's battles" ns so
many delight to contend. It does not
matter who is benefited by our ac
tion or who will (reap the largest
reward as a result of our efforts
In the last analysis It is not Eng
land's fight any more than it is
France's fight or Belgium's fight; it
Is our fight now as much as theirs.
It Is our country that is at war and
It 'is upon ourselves that the con
sequences will fall If we fail to lend
our fullest support toward a victorious
conclusion.
Defeated and humbled we would
have to pay a fearful price for our
failure. By every means in our power
we should assist the government, with
our money ,our efforts and, If need bs,
with our lives.
Above all we should not appear as
laggards in our nation's cause ever
■ hough we may not entirely approve
of the course to which we are com
mitted. Remember;
"ify country when rtght; Rtl!I in>
country rtght or wrong.”
RUSSIA AWAKENING.
Announcement that the Russian
forces have resumed the offensive on
the eastern front leads to the sur
mise that the revolution distraught na
tion has recovered from the maudlin
intoxication of Its new found freedom
and is about to take up the task of
securing Its borders against further
encroachments of the Teuton foe.
To the average Russian peasant, il
literate and dull minded, the first taste
of freedom was an inspiring draught
which, made his senses reel and the
whole fabric of his being revel in a
new and almost undreamed of delight.
To him freedom was not a release
from thei harsh dictates of autocratic
government and the assumption of a
broader and more humane control. The
Idea that he must submit to another
form of authority after casting oft the
fetters of despotism hardly entered
his bondage dulled mind. ]
LIbsrty seemed to blm to mean that
authority had been abolished along
with his slave shackles and it was
his right to demand and take of that
which ho desired In other words,
license was mistaken for liberty with
the result that the nation trembled
in tlie throes of a condition closely
bordering on anarchy. And, were It
not for the almost superhuman ef
forts of a discerning group of patriots
’in holding a semblance of law and
authority, there Is little doubt that
conditions more horrible than those
of the French revolution would have
turned the whole world aghast, liow
close the nation came to total disor
ganization Is plainly disclosed In the
sad and tragic note struck in the
speech of Minister of Justice Kerensky,
who bemoaned Ids fate that he did not
die at the time of the revolution be
fore losing confidence in tlie integrity
of bis fellow revolutionists and In the
capacity of 'the Russian people to
govern themselves. Now, if the report
referred to is correct, Russia seems
to bo regaining her balance in spite of
tlie efforts of her enemies, to lead
the ignorant soldiers into believing
that continuance of military activities
carried with it the hlea of imperialism
and blows on the battle front were
only furthering the designs of the
masters whom they had discarded.
Doubtless turmoil and dissension will
I again appear at intervals and the
very fabrtc of the nation may be
endangered before Russia reaches
that perfect balance necessary to
stable government. Time is required
to restore equilibrium after such a
gigantic upheaval. A freedom mad
nation cannot be controlled until the
people have learned the wisdom of
law and the protection of stable gov
ernment.
UNITED STATES BARS WHISKY
How Uncle Sain Is joining the cam
paign of education against the use of
alcoholic drinks is shown in a bulletin
recently issued by Postmaster Gener
al Burleson detailing the states and
territories which have prohibited the
sending or rece'ipt through the mails
of whisky and other similar adver
tisements.
The bulletin has been issued In con
formity to section G of the act of
congress of March 3, 1917, and Is to be
followed by additional bulletins as
I more detailed data are gathered. The
postmaster general draws attention to
the fact that the initial bulletin Is
incomplete.
The bulletin is illuminating in show
ing that twenty five states now make
It unlawful to transmit whisky and
Wmi|ar advertisements through the
mails. These are Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, Colorado, Kenty county
and Sussex county in Delaware,
Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine,
Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, North Da
kota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ore
gon, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Utah, Virginia, Washington and West
Virginia. The bulk of the counties of
Connecticut also prohibit the trans
mission of advertisements dealing with
ardent spirits, as do many sections of
Maryland, Ohio, Ithode Island and
Texas.

taking Doan's Kidney Pills off and on
for a number of years and they have
never failed to do good work. Stand

Kidney Pills, my back felt as strong
as ever.”
