MASS MEETING SUNDAY BIG SUCCESS;
GOVERNOR STRONG TO CO-OPERATE
(Continued from Page One)
to exist emphasizes the fact that it otic sentiment. A thing most worth)
will not be a party to the tyrrnny of
Germany as a nation.”
The chairman then road a telegram
which J. 0. l.uttrell, adjutant of the
Spanish-American war veterans, re
ceived from Governor Strong in re
sponse to a telegram of inquiry ail
dressed to him Saturday. The gov
ernor’s 'message follows:
Juneau. Alaska. April S. 1917.
J. C. I.uttrell, Adjutant. Spanish
American War Veterans, Seward.
Kegarding vour cablegram of
the seventh, I have to state that
1 have received no instructions
from Washington as to military
organizations in Alaska, except
the following received declaration
of a state of war from the depart-*
meat through the secretary id the
interior:
No military organization can l>c
recognized under the present
statuts except the army, navy
marines and national guard. The
president and congress have not
as yet announced their policies
with regard to volunteers. My
advice would he that you gather
and train men as well as you can
now, and before they are far ad
vanced there doubtless will be the
machinery created by which they
can be brought into some formal
service. Vs soon as I am further
advised 1 will communicate with
you. On behalf of the adminis
tration permit me to express ap
preciation of your action in en
dorsing the administration in the
present crisis, and I shall be glad
to co-operate with you in every
way possible. The territorial leg
islature has appropriated $ 10,000
for emergency purposes, and any
necessary expense incurred by
your organization will be paid
from that fund upon presentation
of duly certified vouchers. Letter
follow s.
J. F. A. STRONG. Governor.
Judge Finnegan was the first to be
invited to address the meeting, and
responded eloquently. He showed
the wonderful unification of our coun
try that astonished the world at the
j time of th<? Spanish-American war.
The north and south torn with civil
strife less than sixty years before,
joined and formed our forces with a
spirit and patriotism typical ol true
Americanism. He said we learned
some lessons from the war of '98, the
most melancholy one being the reali
zation of our unprepaerdness. The
great element of truth is behind us to
day, and truth is the greatest pre
paration in the world. Judge Finne
gan pointed out that it is the duty of
a nation to protect its subjects, and
in return its citizens owe loyalty,
faith, zeal and duty. In referring to
the foreign born citizens, he said:
“This has been a generous nation.
It has been given a full quota by the
subjects of other lands. It hits, given
them trade, commerce and schools and
has returned high profits for their ef
forts. It has given them the protw
tion of the flag, safety and greater
than all, it has given them a liberty
the likes of which no other nation
ever offered. They owe a debt of
i gratitude to the United States, and as
j long as love, gratitude and faith find
a place in the human heart we will not
have to worry about the foreign born
citizen, who loves the flag of his
adoption and wants it kept clean and
flying.”
Mayor-elect Samuel McDonald, was
l the next speaker to take the platform,
i and, although suffering from a severe
cold, addressed a few words to the
j gathering. He said he was glad of
the opportunity of reasserting his
American citizenship, and that the
whole plan of organization as started
by the veterans conforms with his
! ideas exactly and gave assurances of
j his hearty co-operation.
Attorney Clifford Mooers was the
next to speak, and complimented the
veterans for starting the movement
which had encouraged so much patri
ami upon which nations live. He said
that in looking hack over the pages of
history, whenever the cause of liberty
hung in the balance, true patriots
gathered to discuss plans for the pro
tection of their homes.
“If war is welcome (and it is al
ways welcome when an invasion must
be repelled or our homes protected)”
continued Mr. Mooers, “the issue
should not be met half-heartedly.
Since we are forced to abandon our
chosen ground of neutrality, and take
up the weapons of warfare, let us
not In* hesitant in our duty, but act,
and act promptly, as duty dictates.”
John .1. IJyan emphasized the im
portance of united effort, and in this
connection said:
“The ont thought to control and
guide us all is that we must join in
united effort behind the government
and use every honorable means to
show that we are behind the president
in the action he has taken.”
Attorney L. L. James, jr., was the
next speaker, and pointed out that it
was the integrity and honor of the
United States that was at stake, and
said that when the United States is
at war all else is insignificant.
“Every improvement recorded in
the history of civilization came as the
result of war,” said Mr. James, “The
real blow of warfare will not fall up
on the men who will march boldly and
gladly to the front,” he continued,
“hut upon the women who must re
main at home. Hut they have heroi
cally stood it before, and the patriot
ism of the women of the present day
has not been diminished by time, and
they will gladly do their share again.
U. U. Wever in addressing the meet
ing stated:
“Our country has always stood for
freedom in every sense of the word.
This tight that is forced upon us is
one between militarism and civiliza
tion. It is a wonder that the country
has not been criticized for not enter
ing the war before it has.”
Frank (». Ennis, in a short talk
said:
“The country is facing the greatest
crisis of its history, hut in case of
actual warfare and struggle I can see
nothing but a speedy victory for our
country.” He complimented the vet
erans for action they had taken and
assured them of his hearty co-opera
tion.
The remainder of the speeches and
remarks were principally in regard
to resolutions brought up for discus
| sion. The motion was made and car
ried that the chairman be empowered
! to appoint a public safety committee
and defense committee for the follow
ing purposes:
To investigate local conditions, and
to determine what steps should be
taken, if any, to insure public safety
and to cooperate with duly authorized
officers of the law for this purpose.
To confer with similar bodies in
other towns in Alaska, with a view to
promoting joint and effective action in
uiding the United States to combat its
enemies.
To keep in touch with the federal
and territorial governments as far as
possible and thus to be in a position
to act promptly in organizing a mili
tary company when such an organiza
tion shall have been authorized by
either of the above authorities.
To keep the public informed by a
weekly bulletin through the press of
progress and developments, as far as
compatible with public interests.
That after being appointed the com
mittee organize, elect a chairman and
secretary, and such other committees
and officers as they may think neces
sary to better carry out the objects of
its creation.
Tho committee was then instructed
by the meeting as a whole to notify
the governor of the action taken and
also to notify the secretary of war.
It was also instructed to circulate
a petition to all Seward citizens, who
are to olfer their names for any ser
vice that may be required by the gov
ernment. The committee is also to aid
the women in every possible way in
the formation of a Uod Cross organi
zation.
At the close of the meeting all
stood and sang “The Star Spangled
Banner,” and in doing so, were ac
companied on the piano by Mrs. Mc
Neer. The meeting then adjourned,
subject to the call of the committee
of safety and defense, which will meet
and perfect its organization Wednes
day evening.
RESURRECTION
MADE PLAIN BY
REV. PATTON
An unusually large audience heard
the program of music given by the
singers of the various churches last
evening. The theme for the annual
caster sermon in the morning was,
“Mystery of the Resurrection Made
Plain." Rev. Patton said: “Not only
the scriptui'es made plain the possi
bility of the resurrection, but also
man’s judgment and reason explain
the possibility. If God were to raise
the literal body it would be no more
incredible than that he has placed
laws in the universe whereby magnet
ism could be used to separate steel
tilings from dust.
“Again, God could as easily form a
new body in identity from the ele
ments as that man’s body can grow by
his eating food and drinking water.
“But the scriptures must tirst be
searched upon this subject before wc
stumble at our own assumed ideas.
‘In First Corinthians 15:42-44, wo
read regarding the resurrection of the
| body that, ‘It is sown in corruption; it
is raised in incorruption; it is sown
in dishonor; it is raised in glory; it
is sown in weakness; it is raised in
power; it is sown a natural body; it is
raised a spiritual body! The resur
rection of the dead is the linal glori
ous event of earth's history whereby
God’s children are united in eternal,
immortal fellowship with their Savi
our and Redeemer.’ ”
