Ol’R FLAG.
When you see the Stars and Stripes
displayed, son, stand up and take off
jour hat. Somebody may titter but
pay no attention to them. You may
olasphere your God or stagger drunk
enly in pulic places, and the bystand
ers will not pay much attention to
you, but if you should get down on
your knees in the street and pray to
Almighty God, or if you should stand
bareheaded while a company of old
soldiers march by with their Hag to
the breeze, some people will think you
are showing off.
But don’t you mind! When Old
Glory comes along, salute, and lei the
mob think what they please! When
you hear the band play the National
anthem, even if you have to stand up
alone, do so. and do not be ashamed
of it.
For of all the signs and symbols
since the world began, there is never
another so full of meaning as the flag
of this country.
That piece of red, white and blue
bunting means five thousand years >■ :
• truggle upward. It is the full-blow
flower of ages of fighting for liberty;
- It Is the century plant of human hope
in bloom.
It means the answered prayer of
generations of slaves, of the helou of
Greece, of the human chattels of
Home, of the vassals of feudalism 01
the serfs of Russia, of the blacks of
America, of all who, whipped and
cursed and starved and oppressed
have crawled from the cradle to the
grave througn all time.
Your flag stands for humanity, for
Justice, for equal rights, for freedom
for an equal opportunity to all the
rons of men. Of course, we have no*
r.rrived yet at that goal; there are
many Injustices yet among us, many
senseless and cruel customs of the
past still clinging to us, but the only
hope of righting the wrongs of men
lies in the feeling produced in our
bosoms by the sight of that flag —Uy

The gravest danger in war time is
the attack on free speech and a free
press, and the far-reaching eonse
ciuences which will obtain from such
fictions after the war. Already, be
lore the war is more than a tew days
old, many reports of the abridgement
of personal rights are being publish
ed daily in the newspapers. In some
cities the authorities have suppressed
all criticism of the president or the
cabinet, and have fired city employes
I who dissented from the views of thi
majority. Professors all over the
country have been discharged from
universities and colleges because of
their convictions against war. Many
people have been assaulted, and feel
ing in some instances, reached that
of mob violence, without suppression
trom the authorities.
Therein constitutes the greatest
danger to the republic. Intolerance
in any form is bad. A man tnay not
lelieve in the present war and still be
the first to enlist. Patriotism does
not constitute the waving of flags and
fervid oratory. One man who enlists
at this stage of the war is worth a
hundred who “mean to enlist,” but
never face the recruiting officer. In
the annals of American history the
men whose names have been emblaz
oned on the tablet of fame were do
ers, not street orators.
Therefore, it behooves us, as good j
citizens, to endeavor to convert ou" j
neighbor until he sees his duty as we
see it. Every man’s ideals are built
up by himself, and are a matter of
education, breeding and environment.
The better educated a man is the
more lofty his ideals, but it does not
follow that they make him any hap
pier and a better citizen than the
hod-carrier or the Aleut, as happiness
again is an acquisition that comes
front contentment with one’s lot.
But intolerance in any form is sui
cidal. It breeds a contempt for exist
ing laws and religions, and overrides
every virtue but those set by tbe
standard of selfishness and self-cen
teredness.
The nation today would be more
powerful if it possessed but half it;;
population and they were in perl
accord. This internal dissension '.
the ranks of our citizens constitutes
a great menace to the proper conduct
of national affairs.
DON’T TELEGRAPH! ENLIST!
When Jess Willard, the prizefighter,
notified the President that he would
fight, and asking where he wanted
him. the nation promptly jumped to
the conclusion that Jess was after a
little cheap and extremely distasteful
advertising. If Jess Willard had re-1

a
ally wanted to fight he should have
gone to the nearest recruiting station
and enlisted. And we similarly ad
vise our notoriety-seeking personagee
that it is not necessary to spend a cent
on telegrams or waste a minute tele
graphing the President—just enlist!
The nation needs men now worse
than it has ever needed them before
in the history of the country. It is a
grand and glorious thing to shorn
your patriotism to the world, but the,
country must have men or there wi.I
be no occasion for patriotism. If you
believe that this is the best country

it what it is.

THE Anchorage Times flagellates
verbally the editor of the Prospector
for criticising the attitude of that
town in seeking to draw the payrolls;
| and inhabitants of other Alaskan cit-j
lies to that railroad metropolis. Wei
I have never before been accused of un- j
fairness for seeking to retain for our- j
selves that which already belongs t>
us. With predatory designs on nearly
every town surrounding her Anchor-;
age can hardly expect a verbal slap j
on the wrist or that we are lying;
awake nights thinking of our bound-'
less love for her. She cannot expect I
to teccive more than she is giving,!
and until she refrains from her avar j
icious longing for everything in sig/itj
must expect a few swift kicks from |
her enemies.

FRENCH VETERAN ON ;
WAY BACK TO FRONT
___________ i
HOOD RIVER. Ore., May, 1.—Hun
dreds gathered at the station tonight
to say farewell to Armand Patreau, a
veteran of the trenches in France He
will sail from New York for Europe
after a leave of absence spent in Ore
gon.
A year after Patreau left the Uni
ted States to fight for his native land.j
his wife filed a suit for divorce in thej
Multnomah County circuit court, al
leging desertion. Judge Galens. who
married Patreau and his wife, signed
the decree. The soldier knew nothing
of the event until he returned from
Europe to pay a visit to his family. |
"It is hard to have my family bro-;
i ken up on the pretext of desertion.”
he said tonight just before leaving,,
’“but my supreme duty is to my coun-j
'try in its hour of need.”

j CAN’T KEEP OUT OF
1 EXPRESS BUSINESS'
After trying several other lines of,
business since he went to Anchorage ■
including ranching, summer resort, j
etc., Joe Spenard has thrown up the;
whole thing and gone back to his first
love, the express business. Yellow
was always Joe’s favorite color, r.ol j
because he possesses any yellow
streak himseif, but because it is strik- j
ing to the eye, and of course yellow
will be the predominant color of his!
outfit in Anchorage. A new auto of a
brilliant canary hue has been secured i
and those who travel will find tnej
first to welcome them as the steamer’
lands at the railroad city will be;
“Joe, always on the Job.”
Employes Buy I^arge Flag.
The employes of Camp 91, Falls
Creek, Turnagain Arm District, start- j
ed a collection last week for the pur- j
chase of a national flag to be placed >
over the office building at that place, j
A canvass of the office and engineer
ing force resulted in $28 being raised j
within a few minutes. Many other;
employes were anxious to donate to i
the fund, but their contributions had i
to be refused because the amount col-1
! lected was already larger than the cost j
i of the finest flag to be obtained in any <
of the Anchorage stores.—Railway;

The Best Hat at $4.00.
TO BETTER values in hats for men can be found than
1. ▼ those offered in Mallory. Guaranteed by the makers in
every respect, Mallory hats more than live up to expectations.
Cravanetted, they are proofed against moisture in the same
manner as in a “Cravaneite Coat”-the rain
drops do not show. This added quality
in a hat is appreciated, especially in
this particular climate.
The new styles for spring are now here,
they will please you we are sure. Youll
pay more for hats worth less.
