ANCHORAGE, ALASKA,
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 28, 1917.
LET US FOLLOW OUR LEADER.
The people of the United States are to he congratulated
upon the fact that there is a man at the head of this great gov
ernment that will not plunge this nation into war unless fully
justified by the aggressions of other powers. While slow to j
anger, we believe the president- will be fearful in his wrath,
when once aroused to assert the just cause of his country.
Throughout the trying period following the break in diplo
matic relations with the German empire, his course has been |
fhe sane course. He has not been led astray by wild rumors j
that have been floating about with respect to loss of American1
life and American property, originating from allied sources
that much desire the entry of the United States into the war,
hut he has caused an investigation of each reputed overt act,
and judged each case on its own merits. Up to the time ol the
sinking of the Cunard liner Laconia, which occurred Sunday
night, no overt act, sufficient to justify a declaration ot war
against Germany, had been committed by the Teutonic power.
The press dispatches inform us that this recent ease may lie the
expected overt act that will lead to hostilities.
If the president should declare war against the Teutonic
jiowers, he can rest in the assurance that the people of the
United States are with him in the enterprise and will abide by
his decision. The people are with him because they know that
he will not involve them in a war unless it is necessary to safe
guard the interests of this nation, to protect the lives of the
people, to guard the honor and sacred rights of this republic.
The United States will not enter the world war for the purpose
of conquest. It will enter the war only because the rights of
its people have been wantonly violated and transgressed.
All who have given thought to the matter must recognize
tiiat the belligerent nations engaged in the horrible conflict are
now fighting for their very existence as nations. In these cir
cumstances, it is to be expected that they will employ heroic
and unprecedented policies to further their ends. We under
stand all this, and have no particular concern unless our rights
are abridged or trammeled upon. Then we have the right to
protest. The indiscriminate submarine policy adopted by Ger-1
many has had the effect of seriously interfering with our for
eign commerce. If that were all, it is quite possible that war
might be averted, on the grounds that we should expect 'some
inconvenience with practically all the old world at war. But
when American lives are sacrificed through this submarine
policy, the nation responsible must pay the penalty, must suf
fer the consequences.
While it is advisable tor the Limed Mates to take prevail-1
tions in the matter of preparedness, we'cannot conceive, even
if war with Germany and her allies does come, how it will ina- (
terially affect this nation from a physical standpoint. We shall
certainly not he invaded by the enemy; the German fleets are i
bottled up and can’t be employed, aeroplane raids are out of!
the question. Our only danger, it would appear, is from the
submarines, and these seem to be industriously engaged about
the cO’aht of Great Britain. And again, how can a submarine
operate; so far from its base? True, a base may be established
on this side of the Atlantic, on tin?Mexican coast, for instance,
but it could not long be kept concealed from a hunting l\ S.
naval jflteet.
In (the event of hostilities, which ive expect will result,
our part will bo to lend aid to the entente allies, in supplying
them with foodstuffs, clothing, etc., and seeing to its delivery,
regardless of German submarines; lending them adequate fi
nancial aid; furnishing them with unlimited quantities of]
munitions of war, etc. Of course, if Col. Roosevelt wishes to
organize a division and go to the front, well and good. Some
fresh troops on the west front would probably be welcomed by
•the allies.
But in the situation that maintains we shall play a minor
part, because we are so far removed from German soil. Hem
med in on all sides by powerful enemies, the Teutons will have
little time to devote to us, even if so inclined, and if so inclined,
have not the oportunity to employ their resources in arms as
against us. Physical conditions govern the case. The German
submarines may possibly come to our shores, but we shall be
able to take care of them before much damage will have been
done, but aside from this menace, we see no cause for Jilarm,
war or no war. Of course, we do not wish war with Germany
or any other nation, but if Germany jieclines to respect the lives
of American citizens, war must come. That’s all there is to it.
W-ell, Commissioner Mears is on the»job again! Not that
he has-been off of it since his absence on an official visit to
Washington, but we mean on the job right here, at home, so to
speak. Engineer Dose, who has been acting for the commis
sioner during his absence, is a mighty capable, courteous man,
but things don’t seem natural unless the quiet, unassuming,
working commissioner is about.

Save your eyes on the trail by using the “Wilson Goggles’’
and Zylbex Eye Protector. ..We have a complete assortment of
many styles in amber and smoked glasses.
Another very handy little outfit for the trail or camp is
Johnson & .Johnson’s Red Cross Utility Kit at 50c, 11 articles
of everyday use.
If you lived as the cave man lived, your health would take
care of itself. The cave man ate coarse food and lived a stream
ous life in the open. His digestive apparatus was suited to that
kind of an existence. You inherit from the cave man the same
internal mechanism but you eat different food and lead a dif
ferent kind of life. Hence the almost universal prevalence of
constipation—and its constant menace to health. Your prob
lem is to adjust that “cave man’’ internal mechanism of yours
to the sedentary life and concentrated food of civilized life.
American Mineral Oil accomplishes the adjustment. It does
not upset the ordinary processes of digestion—and it does not
form a habit. We recommend San-Tox American Oil at $1.25
per full pint.
On Valentine day a customer of ours wanted a box of candy.
We sold him a box of Augustine & Kyer’s Chocolates. In speak
ing of different kinds of candy he asked me why we didn’t carry
cheaper box candy in stock. There is only one thing we can an
swer to that. We sell Augustine & Kyer’s chocolates for the
same reason that we sell Waterman’s Ideal Fountain pens, for
the same reason we sell Eastman Kodaks, for the same reason
we use Squibb’s, Mulford’s and Parke Davis’ chemicals in our
prescription department, for the same reason that we buy Stet
son’s Hats or Cheney’s neck wear, and Hart, Schaffner & Marx’
Clothes, for the same reason we handle all quality goods. We
want to be identified with the best only. And in that lies your
safety and advantage in dealing with us.

It is reported that D. N. McMillan,
of Bellingham, Wash., and his two
sons Joseph and George, will establish
a salmon cannery on False Pass, Alas
ka, during the season of 1917. Joseph
McMillan is in that region at present
looking over the ground. The McMil
lans were interested in the Bering Sea
Packing Co., which built and operated
a cannery on Herendeen bay in 1916.
