ANCHORAGE IS PATRIOTIC.
Anchorage is not wanting in patriotism. That tart was:
amply demonstrated yesterday, when a crowded house of pa
triotic citizens gathered in llobarts' hall, at a meeting under
tile immediate direction of the loyal veterans ot the Xpauish
Ameriean war. and took the preliminary steps toward the or- ;
ganization of military forces to aid the nation in the war with
a foreign foe. Nearly all present signed cards signifying their
intention to aid the nation, if called upon do do so. Kven those
over military age wore eager to sign, and did sign, placing
themselves on record as willing to do what their physical con
dition will permit them to do. in ease of need.
A competent committee has the matter-of foriirtiliy raising
troops in hand. A message has been sent to the governor, tell
ing him of the meeting, the number of men that placed them
selves at the disposal of the government, etc., and upon receipt
of an answer, the committee will get down to business.
While we express the hope that it.will not be necessary to
send our men to the front—and we express the same hope with j
respect to those enlisting on the outside the commendable;
thing is that Anchorage has placed itself on record as being
willing to stand by the nation, in the hour of its need. It wasi
the patriotic thing to do. and we did it splendidly and nobly.
IT IS YOUR DUTY TO SALUTE
Lest you forget. The limes begs to call the attention of:
American citizens to the fact that it is their duty to arise and!
stand while the national anthem is being rendered anywhere!
and upon any occasion whatsoever. We Americans grow care- (
less and indifferent over these, what might be termed purelyj
sentimental functions, and we pay slight heed to a time-lion-j
ored custom of the old world. <lo to any foreign nation on earth
and when the chords of the national anthem are given, the peo- j
pie en masse rise to their feet and remain standing while the;
national hymn is being rendered. This custom lias not been |
followed in the 1'nited States. This has been due largely to the
fact that unfil recent years, most <>f us were at a loss to deter-j
mine which anthem was, in fact, the national hymn. We have1
several mighty tine patriotic airs, such as “America,” “The
Jied, White and Blue.” and “The Star Spangled Banner.” To
settle the matter once and for all, the congress has passed a bill
designating “The Star Spangled Banner” as the national an
them. So that if you are in any gathering, such as a motion
picture -how, a theatre, an entertainment of any kind, in fact,
anywhere, and the strains of “The Star Spangled Banner” be
gin. promptly rise to your feet and remain standing while the
anthem is being rendered. This is a pretty custom at all times.
It is especially appropriate when the nation is at war. as now,
with a foreign foe. It is a distinct mark of respect to the na
tion, as represented by its national anthem, dust the other,
evening, at a local motion picture show, the pianist played1
“The Star Spangled Banner.” < hie person in the large audi
ence rose and stood Lieut. Boss, of the 1\ S. army. The army
regulations require army officers to salute the anthem, by
standing at attention while it is being rendered. There were
many others in the audience who wished to stand, but no one
cared to make the start, simply because tin* custom had not
been followed. Let’s begin it now. If you go in one of the
picture shows and the pianist plays the national anthem, rise
promptly to your feet. You will be doing your dutt,
Tlit* local igloo ol' the Pioneers of Alaska, by unanimous j
vote at a meeting held Saturday niglit, passed a resolution;
placing itself on record as being behind the president in the
war with Germany. A message to the president has been sent,!
declaring that the Pioneers are with him and can be called on j
to serve him, in case of need. We expected nothing less from our
sturdy pioneers. We take pleasure in commending their
highly patriotic attitude, but it is an attitude we knew they
would assume, because they are loyal American citizens. The
Pioneers of Alaska are there! While gray*1 lairs adorn the
heads of most of the pioneers of the northland, their hearts beat
as true and as loyal as ever. While age will prevent most of
them from entering the nation’sj army of defense, they are
prepared to do what they can—and tluit is all that is expected
of any one. Hail to the Pioneers!
Now that flu* war is on, there is one thing that this great
government should do, and that is, see to it that food prices do
not soar to a height beyond all reason, it is generally under
stood that food prices are governed by the law of sup
ply and demand. The buying of vast quantities of food and
clothing for the military forces of the army and navy will nat
urally tend to advance prices, unless the government steps in
and says to growers, manufacturers and distributors: Thus far
shall ye go, but not a penny beyond. It is well within the prov
ince of a nation to protect the consumer as against the extor
tionate demands of the producer. Belligerent nations have
found it necessary to pursue such a policy, and we shall be forc
ed to follow suit. In all nations there are “hogs” that seek to
make profit out of a nation’s distress. They are in America,
as elsewhere, 'flu* thing to do is to curtail the activities of
these unpatriotic citizens. The growers are probably entitled
to make a legitimate profit, in wartime as well as in times of
peace. But they should not be allowed to “hold up” the Amer
ican people under present conditions.

The ('ordova Times devotes a column to the new town
of Anchorage, in the court house controversy, and we take the
liberty of reproducing the outstanding feature of the editorial,
which follows:
“Anchorage is certainlyji ambitious town. Although
in existence but a couple of are, if lias made great strides for
ward, due largely to the progressive spirit of its residents. All
of which is most commendable.”
