ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1917.
TALK PATRIOTISM, OR DON’T TALK.
i
The Times is not an alarmist nor an agitator. While this
war with a foreign foe is on, it will be strictly an American
newspaper, devoted to the interests of this American nation.
AVe shall back the president and the constituted authorities of
this government to the limit of our capacity. We take it that
this is the proper policy for loyal American citizens to adopt.
In times of peace, considerable latitude is given those who do
not agree with our form of government; who are not in har
mony with our laws and our institutions. When peace prevails,
we give little heed to the mouthings of those who would upset
and disarrange the established order of things. We let them
rant at will, because we know that the great majority of our
people are in no hurry to change existing conditions. Correct
ive measures will be adopted as time goes on, all in an orderly
manner.
But the situation now is quite different. We are at war
with a powerful enemy. We shall no longer tolerate license
for liberty, as in times of peace. People who talk now must
weigh their words, and must be held strictly accountable for
them. Anyone who now agitates against our government or
who wilfully and maliciously attacks, by word of mouth, or
by the printed word, the president and the officers of this gov
ernment, are subject to arrest and imprisonment. It doesn’t
make a particle of difference now whether we agree with the
president or not; whether we wish war or not. The time for
discussion on these subjects has passed. Our president and our
national congress have declared war on a foreign foe. That is
enough for an American citizen to know. So far as The Times
is concerned, it has been in favor of this declaration of war.
There are those who may have had conscientious objections to
ibis war. It may have been ail right to register opposition be
fore war w$fl declared, but the die Inis been cast and the war is
on. That Moses-the months of all objectors. Any who now
talk against the war are aiding our enemy. And such talk will
not be tolerated^ If you are so lacking in loyalty and patriot
ism that you cannot-talk for the nation in the hour of its need,
yon had better remain dumb, or you may be put where you can
rant and agitate in solitude to your heart’s content. And you
need not think you’ll make a martyr of yourself, either. The
American people don’t propose to stand for any attacks on this
government or the officers of this government, at this critical
period in the nation’s history.
AVe have been laboring under the delusion that Juneau,
the capital of Alaska, was the most populous city in the terri
tory. In fact, this newspaper has often had occasion to refer
to the capital as the most populous city in Alaska, with Anchor
age coining next in point of numbers. We find we have been
in error; that we have been doing our own community an in jus
lime, and not giving it the credit due it. Anchorage is the
most populous city in Alaska and has been such for the past
year. Juneau lacks a thousand of having as many residents as
Anchorage. Instead of saying that Anchorage is the metrop
olis of the Third division, we shall hereafter maintain that it is
the metropolis of tin* territory.
A bill has been introduced in the Alaska legislative as
sembly which provides for the care of the territory’s insane in
Alaska, rather than send them, as now, to the states for treat
ment. The bill provides that the hospital for the demented
shall be established at Anchorage, the metropolis of the ter
ritory. Such an institution in this community would be a sub
stantial adjunct, in a business way, as it would mean the ex
penditure of at least $250,000 per annum among our people. It
is an institution that is well worth striving for, and we should
make an effort to land it.
Our chief menace, now that we have entered the world war,
seems to be in the submarine, and the anomaly of the thing is
that an American—Holland—is the inventor of the first prac
tical undersea craft. The submarine of today is but the de
veloped machine of the Holland typ*; &
Kaiser Wilhelm, of Germany, promises his people many
reforms when tlfe war is over. The trouble is that the kaiser
will have nothing to say about reforms when the world war
ends. His days as a ruler are numbered.
DAUGHTER OF ADOLPH BUSCH WAS
AIDING THE GERMAN CONSPIRATORS
NEW YORK, April 10.—Government secret agents have
discovered that until recently Mrs. Hugo Reisinger, a daught
er of the late Adolph Busch, of St. Louis, maintained a power

residence in New York City and that Count von Rerustorff,
former German ambassador to the United States, received
many messages over it from Germany. The woman will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law regardless of her enor
mous wealth and high social position.

A bookkeeper of my acquaintance
after using a Waterman Ideal Foun
tain Pen told me that never again
will be go back to any ordinary pen.
“Why, it is wonderful how much time
it saves.” Waterman’s Ideal Fountain
Pens are made in many styles and
forms. A poipt for everybody, is what
they are trying to make. A guaran
tee goes with every pen. Prices are
from $2.50 to $35.00. We also have
new points.
We have received a complete line
tof Cut Glass Ware in Wine, Liquor
and Water Sets. Having bought all of
Sellers’ stock, we have secured good
values at a bargain.
We saw advertised in the magazines
two new designs in Rogers 1847 Ware,
the Athena and Heraldic. You would
like both of them on your table. We
will be very pleased to show them to
you.
Also Universal Coffee Percolators in
new designs, from $7.50 to $10.00 each.
A Box of Candy is always appreci
ated, but it has to be a Good Box of

I We would like to impress upon our
j friends on the different points on the
j railroad, that our service is at their

j . :
And following our policy of carry
! ing only the very best, we have added
> the well known “Krause” Chocolate to
I our stock.
I It seems that everybody has the
grip, ourselves included. A box of our
Cold Tablets does wonders, and if you
cough—better be careful and try some
of our Pectoral Cough Syrup. It will
do the work.
Within the next few days we will
I have three more boats enter the An
1 chorage Harbor, and each boat is
bringing us new stock.
