LET’S BE YOUNG FOR A MINUTE.
Todav is St. Valentine's dav and what has it meant?
Just to forget, for a minute or two, all of us older
ones, that there is a frightful war being waged, that there
are peace proposals and then peace disposals, just forget
and become young, real young, just for a minute or two.
St. Valentine’s day—“them were the good old days.”
Do vou remember when a kid; how you used to go to
the corner store and buy one of those "uglies" and send it
to some one? Teacher was generally the one we male
kids used to torment with the "uglies." Then again we
used to send them, perhaps to that little snip of a seven
year old girl, in the seat across the aisle, who once “turned
us down." Or perhaps we sent one to the "bully” of the
neighborhood and watched him get it. Sure, you and I
received them and it made us angry. Then several years
afterwards, the "uglies" didn't seem to attract us and we
began fumbling over the big display of hearts and lace
iike-paper-things with “you’re eyes are blue, etc.” And
we sent them by mail to “her” or waited until we had seen
“her” go in the house; then we sneaked up and pushed our
little love token under the door and ran “like everything.”
Then the years kept turning around and a box of
candv or a box of flowers found the way to “her. ’ And
we called in the evening and “she” thanked us for "she”
knew who had sent the gift.
Years kept turning around and “she” became some
thing dearer, the little pig-tailed tad of a girl was “wife.”
Then the little ones came and they remeinl>ered St. Valen
tine’s day, just like we did, only the “uglies” seem to have
disappeared and only the honey-worded things remain.
But “she is still with us. “she" never forgets "the good
old childhood days." And St. Valentine’s day is just as
much to “her” today as it was 20. 25, or perhaps 40 years
ago today. "She” is with us daily, the real companion—
so tonight, even if there are “silver threads among the
gold”—let’s us be young, once again. "She” likes to re
member and “she will appreciate a box of candy, some
thing, no matter what it is because it is for "her”—from
us—a valentine.
EXTERMINATOR MAXIMUS.
In peace and in war kaisei Wilhelm has been an exter
minator of life. In peace he delighted in exterminating
wild life. From one of the Gorman forestry journals we
learn that in. 1908 he killed 1995 pieces of wild game, in
cluding seventy stags, elk and roebuck. At that time he
had slaughtered a total of (51,730 pieces of game, more
than 4000 of which were stags, and he held the record as
the leading exterminator of wild life in the world.
Since 1914 he has added to his laurels. We quote
from the current bulletin of the United States forestry
bureau: “As a slaughterer of men, women and children,
he has been the foremost exterminator of human life in
all historv.” To this statement can be added the fact
W
that as the world’s foremost fighting lord he is directly
responsible for more physical and mental suffering, more
savage brutalities, more unspeakable atrocities, more dia
bolical cruelties against defenseless non-combatants than
all the other kingly monsters the world has bred. If
America does not prevent, the kaiser will be the extermin
ator of civilization.
Harvey Sullivan, former United States Marshal for
the third division, has announced his candidacy for Road
Commission. Harvey Sullivan, in the strictest sense of
the word,, is a “square shooter,

ON THE RAMPAGE
TERRITORIAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT
In the mail today was the complete measure for a full
| territorial form of government for Alaska, as presented
to Congress on January 19th, by our Delegate, Charles A.
Sulzer. The measure is concise. It is well worth the
reading of all. This measure for something we have been
wanting, will be reprinted in full in the Sunday Post.
St. Valentine’s is Memory’s day for some of us who
hold a bit of satin, put away, engraved in tarnished gold.
| “From one who gives his heart to you, and vows forever
: to be true.” St. Valentine’s is Memory’s day, yet, like to
that above, is blooming by an earthly way, a long remem
bered love. And tender are the eyes that shine, tear
gemmed, above a valentine.
