HELP THE STRICKEN
Over in war desolated Europe three million children, a majority of them ;
of tender years, are calling to the people of AJmterica for succor from starva- ,
tion. Pnom Poland, moat terribly stricken of ;tll the war devasted countries, !
comes the piteous cry of over five hundred thousand famishing little ones.
From Austria-Hunfpiry and Crechs-islovakia more than a million hungering in
nocents call to us across the s<ti for life and bread. From Jugo-Sluviu arises
the pitiful appeal of at least six hundrod tihoumnd more. Two hundred
thousand itoumnnian children are raising beseeching voices and from Mace
donia East ITusHia, the new Baltic republics and other war torn areas arises
the hungered cry unnumbered thousands of others. Most of thefee chil
dren aro orphans who know no homes save squalid minps for destitute refu
gees. In Austria-Hungary and Jugo-Skxvia the situation of these innocent
hltt-le ones is beyond description. Five thousand of them were recently
found wanderii^: like animals in the lluthenkui mountains. In Itoumanisi
thousands are living in devastated villages from which the adults long since
fled. This was before the chill touch of winter had been laid upon Eastern
Europe. Nw, with winter cold adding Its tortures to the pangs of hunger
and privation, ttfeir situation is undoubtedly such that we can scarcely Imagine
its real awfulneste. Homeless, famished, cold, ragged; bereft of the love and
kindness which is the natural iheirltage of childhood, this vast army of helpless
and suffering wotifs holds forth .lothetic, appealing hands to the people of big.
prosperous, kdndiy hearted America, asking them in the name of humanity to
help. Through the voice of Herbert Hoover, whose name has long since-be
come n houscbokl word in connection with the alllviation of human misery
anti want, the cry of these mdllions of homeless. hungry children ,is brought
‘o every Aimtorican home and should find responsive answers in every Ameri
For the small sum of «me dollar, we are told, one of these innocent and
helpless little one’s can be saved from the pangs of hunger for one month;
ten dollars will provide food for a child until the next harvest.
Will anyone refuse? « .
Some .there .'ire. we know, who are- inclined to turn deaf ears to the
■=’r»J>ciiI. excusing their opposition on the score that "charity begins at hamc."
These we are inclined to pity. They are losing sight of the great fact that
man’s greatest good is found in service to his fellow men; that the noblest,
most, inspiring, most joyous task to which human beings can devote theinsel
vf* in doing good for others. Civility doubtless should “begin at home,’’ but
the phruAe is more often employed as an excuse for not extending charity
anywhere.
Those in whom abides true kindness and the spirit of helpfulness and
brotherly love. w8ll extend the hand of charity to these far away starving
children without measuring the relative merit of goodness expressed at home or
abroad. To them the exjxr* ssion of kindness and charity is not a matter of
'kinnhlp or <ttetan<h*. but oif love for that which is good and compassion for
suffering and woe.
SHAMEFUL NEGLECT
The terse maxim '‘KppuUfc's are ungrateful” stems to find decided
conflmuition in the dhargea made last week by American Lecion. cnnunumlor
CJalbmLth before, the House Interstate and Foreign committee.
Oommtorwkr fkUbraiih declared that disabled war veterans are dying in
bos-pfitiUn for lack of proper attention while the families of mriny incapacitated
«x service men are starring, even tih<» they have received the compensation
granted by the government in such cases.
If this is true the situation is assuredly one which warrants unreserv
ed denunciation as an shameful example of national neglect and carelessness
toward a manifest public duty. These men have, tersely speaking, “gone
the limit*' foir the government and people of the United States. It is no
poetical fancy to soy the>- went forth ,to meet death in behalf of their country.
They did it in moot cases willingly, and with a smile, glad to be of service in up
holding the honor of their native hind and in defending its principles and
institutions. Strictly speaking, they offered their all on the altar of patriot
ism and only by giving their lives on the field of war could they have per
formed a greater sacrifice. Perhaps in returning maimed and broken, with
health imjviired and doomed to a life of .suffering, they made a,s great a sac
rifice as those who fell. It is a moot question in the minds of many if he who
returns from war crippled and maimed, to bear a burden of pain and miserv
for the rest of tils days has not mad an even greater sacrifice than he who
dies in Ijnttle.
.At any rate these ex service men, crippled and diseased, as a result of
their service in the cause of the notion, are entitled to a great deal more than
they will ever get this side of heaven. The nnton is in honor bound to
grant them find their dependents ample care and support as long as they are
incfipaciat d by the disabilities incurred in the country's service. It is fails
to do so. it is guilty of the blackest form of ingratitude and deserves the op.
probrduim of fiod and man.

• Lawmnkent-elect of the Fpurth di
vision should make close inquiry into
the workings of the Territorial l*ub
lleity Bureau, with a view to getting
the maximum of results tor the ter
ritory. Should a continuance of the
publicity work appear to the legs
Inters to be warmnted, they mi*hi
with wisdom give consideration to the
very sensible plan of the Name Nugget,
which suggest** tihiU the newspapers of
the territory be aided in advertising
their respective districts. Am it is at
present conducted, the bureau spends
all of the publicity ntoney in Juneau'

NO SWIVEL CHAIR OFFICIAL
<'ol. W. It. Greely. forester of the
United States, in hSs address to the
Commercial Club of Ketchikan, did
several tilings of importance, among
wltksh were: To njtread optimism
among the business ipen of town: to
give them a clear idea of conditions
surrounding the pulp and paper In
dustry upon which Southeastern Al
aska. is to degiend so much; to con
vince them that the matter Ot secur- j
ing industries for the district is one
•in which the government and the
twurmpeopk' must cooperate fully;
and above all to prove to them that
he, a.s the head of a great bureau, is
in enfire sympathy with Alaska and
thiut he is of the working and not
Swivel chair variety of official.
Hit: tiihk was brief. If it had any
fauh, it was that it was too brief. It
was to the point and replete with
fact'. And his reason why the miper
making industry hnis not amK* to Al
aska her* 1* if ore and why it is bound
j to come now .are logical, irrefutable.
They «fid not come to Alaska before
for the very good reason that plants
in the North could not be operated
at a prefit in <-ompe*tition with east
ern plants. The reverse is now true
and for that reason the eapitalis's

of thftit tflme hr hns spent In Alaska,
and durfnfr his visit In the North he
hfiis been out in the field studying ac

STROLLER WHITE ON ELECTION
Editor White, of the Douglas News,
who is possibly better known among
the okLdrimfrs as ‘*»tro>Mor* White,
and is’ holding down a territorial po

election. He says:
