TAKING YELL 01 T OF YELLOW
Out of tlie decadence that comes with long periods of
peace comes a condition ol moral and physical cowaidice
that is called yellow ness. The term is applied to the man,
who, before he has been pressed to the limit of his endui*
ance or stamina, gives up the tight. Ot these it is said
that they possess a yellow streak. It is-applied also to
those who have not the temerity to assert their rights in
the fact of opposition, who will run rather than face a
fight. They are said to be yellow clear through. It is a
term of opprobrium descriptive of the individual who
scents a fight afar and sees to it that he is safely out of
harm’s way.
A great war is a sure cure for yellowness—is the
means of taking the yell out id’ cowardice. JTie very cow
ardice that makes the yellow man yellow during peace
times mak< s him brave the risks of war. He is afraid not
to be one with the men who go to the front—morally
afraid of the ostracism his yellowness will merit if he
stays out. and physically afraid of the punishment he may
receive at the hands of some red-blooded rookie if he does
not go in. He no longer has the protection of society,
which before made his yellowness a matter of congratula
tion. He prefers to be one of many in a battle at the
front than to battle one against many it he remains at
home.
And. whether he finally goes to the front or not, war s
training cures his yellowness. On the drill ground he is
compelled to perform feats that require physical courage:
his physique is built up. and he learns to know the full
power of his strength. At quarters he is thrown into con
tact with men of the do and dare t\q>e and is forced to
hold his own in jousts of rough and tumble. If he dis
plays physical or moral weakness, he is pecked upon in
word and deed until his nature rebels and he risks life it
self in self protection. Then the manhood of him comes
to the surface and the yellowness disappears.
Peace makes for plasmocytic plasticity: war for red
blooded action. In times of peace laws, rules, opinion,
teaching oppose force: in war force is the only factor con
sidered. In peace it is lawful to be yellow; in war it is
criminal. In peace it is reprehensible to oppose force
with force: in war superior force wins and is applauded.
In peace to flee danger is privileged: in wry* it begets in
stant death.
War cures cowardice—takes the yell out of yellow:
makes real men who can accept physical distress without
crying for help.—(Cordova Times).
PLAIN TREASON
Disclosures that are brought about in connection with
the activities of the T. AY. A\r. spell plain treason. Irrespec
tive of what the judgments of the courts may be in the in
dividual cases, the propaganda of this organization and
the methods of earning it on cannot be properly named
except as treason.
In the I. W. \Y. contentions there is no regard for jus
tice. Reason and integrity find no place in its philosophy.
Patriotism is a word that never has been found in its.vo
cabulary. Sour discontent, the spiteful spirit of revenge
for wrongs that may be real or fancied, unprincipled and
diabolical social outlook, a coalition with crime and an ap
proval proval of brutal'violence—these are the ingredi
„ ents of the I. W. W. fermentation, and the net product is
treason.
Every member of this organization should be held in
the public estimation as a traitor. No man should belong
to it and escape the odium of it by saying that he did not
understand its avowed purposes. Those purposes are
dearly set out in the 1. W. W. literature, and if the organi- j
nation had never published a line of printed matter the lit- J
to ranees of its street corner agitators and the acts of its
emissaries since the war began have been sufficient to
damn it beyond redemption.
The 1. W. W. is the very antithesis of Americanism;
j it is an enemy working for the destruction of democratic
institutions, laboring as assiduously as it can for the over
throw of the American government.
The policy, the action, the utterance, the very filler of
ibis organization, considered severally or all put together,
take no other name than plain treason.
CONTRIBUTING MEN FOR WAR
Douglas' Island is contributing her share of young
| men to the war, scarcely a week passing that does not wit-1
ness the departure of a number from here for the various
i raining camps on the outside. Thus far we have not no
, ticed a single American born slacker as having been ap
prehended in Alaska. Some of them, had they remained
n the states, might have been different, but the climate
1 >f Alaska is “ferninst” slacking.—Douglas Island News.
-
That idea about starting a fund for the Alaskans who
are going to the front is not a bad one at all. Who knows
within a few months there may be hundreds of the young
men of this northern country, right in the war zone.
Anyway the news from Russia is always interesting
as it changes daily. First it is one way and then whoops,
ii takes a sudden change again, just to keep up the variety
of life.
_
It is a long way from Alaska to California to secure a
drink. To many it will now be a long time between
drinks. Possibly California may also be legislated into
the dry column.
