STAND BY THE PRESIDENT
The president of the Tinted States of America, in a procla
mation issued yesterday calls on American citizens to stand
by the government in all war measures that those in authority
may deem advisable for the proper protection ot the nation.
This proclamation is issued alike to those citizens who reside
within the confines of the United States and to those citizens
who live in the outlying possessions of the nation. It applies
with«oqual significance to the citizens ot Alaska and to tin* citi
zens of New York state. We are all one as regards this patri
otic proclamation.
The Times is with the president, first, last and all the time.
That goes without saying. And The Times is not more patri
otic than the vast majority of the people of Alaska. We have
the advantage of being able to publish broadcast our loyalty
to the nation. The average citizen is none the less loyal, none
the less patriotic, because he has not the means to make his
attitude widely known.
We are at war with (Jermany. There is no use in getting,
excited about it. or indulging in any heroics around hen1. Let
us calmly accept the situation, but let ns not be lacking in our
support of the government in the hour of its need. Let us or
ganize our volunteer militia companies and enter into the spirit
of the matter with due appreciation of its objects and with a
display of patriotic feelings that form part of the proceedings.
But let us Iiave good order at all times, treating those who may
be alien subjects with due consideration, so long as they prop
erly behave and conduct themselves. If they do not so conduct
themselves/let the law take its course.
A meeting will be hold tomorrow tor the purpose of form;
iug a battalion of volunteers, to be placed at the disposal of the
war department. A battalion is composed of anywhere from
500 to 800 men. Let us all turn out to this meeting and lend
our presence and our encouragement to the patriotic undertak
ing. The Spanish-American war veterans are taking the ini
tiative in the matter. It is in good, loyal bands in the hands
of those who have been tried in the balance and not been
found wanting; wlio have before responded to their nation’s
call, and who are willing to be called again, in case of need.
We are not able to say just what demand will be made of
the citizenry of Alaska. We only know that our good and great
president, in behalf of the 1'nited States, has made a call for
volunteers. And that is enough to know. It is for us to re
spond to this call, raising among us our quota of volunteers, to
be placed at the disposal of the war department, or to be cm
ployed in home guard duty, as the case may be, Those taking
the initiative in organizing the local forces figure that a battal
ion would be a mighty fine representati < for the Cook inlet
country. We believe a battalion would ffiee; would, indeed,
be a mighty line showing for our sect a of Alaska. Let us
work to thL end, then a battalion of v unteers from the Cook
inlet country, devoted to the defense of the nation, and to “go
where the president wants them to'go.”
Xow that war has been declared against a foreign foe, we
must all be willing and prepared to make some sacrifices for
tin* nation that give* us protection; that gives us large liberties,
and that is, in fact, a* in theory, “the land of the free and the
home of the brave.” The l'nitcd States of America did not
seek this war. It was thrust upon us by repeated and wilful
assaults against the lives and the property rights of some of our
citizens. As a result of these repeated attacks on the honor and
the citizenship of thi- nation, the l'nitcd States proposes to
rise in its might and aid in forever ridding the earth of imperi
alisni and all that it stands for. Wo are going to light till Un
tight is done and a victory is achieved.
Attend the meeting tomorrow and enroll your patriotic
names under the glorious Stars and Stripes- the banner of lib
erty. the emblem of justice, the insignia of honor—the flag that
stands for all that is noble, right and just.
