We Are a Nation.

We Are Nation.
The people of the United States are
not a tangled collection OF Jealous
races of alien or unpatriotsc sympa-
thies. We are nation! We are not
a mere federation of warning groups,
each seeking advantage or supremacy
The spirit Of nation must quicken
with the inspiration of old and ad-
vance and strengthen with the soyer-
eign needs OF new age. Selfish APP
'peals to race or special interests di-
vide and weaken the American nation
Ialfsm without which the republic can
not endure.
Away with the melt and thaw OF
maudlin sentiment that the millen-
mum is here! So. too. let the blatant
cries of those who shout for instant
war be stayed. The antidote for the
lust of the limelight is the unrespon-
sive silence of the patriot. For be-
meath the impatient lips of the noisy
brawler lies the tawdry baseness OF
self--self which reaches out alike to
impulsive needless minds and the Sc
ditious element. ever ready for law
less deeds.

SOAP FOR BABY's TENDER SKIN

The regular use OF resinol soap Is
usually enough to prevent those dis
tressing rashes and chafings to which
most babies are subject. This is so,
first, because resinol soap is absolutely
pure and free from harsh alkali, and
second, because it contains the resinoi
medication, on which so many physi-
clans rely for skin troubles.

No Aggressive War.

This republic will wage no agrees
sive war. The territory and institu-
tons of other nations are secure from
our attacks. No vast scheme Of con-
quest or worldwide dominion disturbs
our life Our conquests must be the
tciumphs of peace. Our wars will be
defensive wars.
Our battles Will be to preserve our
territory, to keep the high seas free
to the world and so to ourselves, to
protect the American people and their
institutions, develop international law
so that justice may be done between
nations bv enduring principles OF right
snd not by the transitury power Of
the sword. and that the smaller ma
tons of the world shall cease to be
the prey Of the strong to plumber and
divide
No patriotism. however exalted, Is
a substitute for discipline and prepa-
ration The American people must
submit to the necessary training To
dealy is to invite lawless aggression
from nations that yet worship the
gods OF war and brutal might. The
heroism Of individual courage is sub
lime, but the efficient beroism Of the
suhordination and training Of human
units is the supreme virtue that pre-
pares for self-defense.

Abraham L!ncol worked with his

None are so deeply interested to

THE strongest bond Of human SYM

war upon property or the owners Of
property. Property is the fruit Of
labor: PROPERTY is desirable is a posi-

ALASKA BOARD
 IS OPPOSED

NEW YORk.-The measure propos ed for Alaska by the Secretary of the Interior, described as contemplatins the concentration of management of aa Alaskan resources under one local commission. was Il subject of protest at the annual meeting of the American Forestry Association here.
 Prof H. H. Chapman, of the Yale Forest School. said that the bill would transfer 26.0ooooO acres of Alaskan national forests to this commission, which would be "inimical to the proper management of Alaskan forest lands. '
 No complaint" he said, exists against the management of Alaskan forests by the forest service and the forestry association strongly protests against such transfer. state forestry departments must be lifted out of poli- tics and permanent trained personnel secured if any practical results are to be expected.

Equally absurd is the state ment that Belgium had entered Into negotiations with Britain in 1906 to declare war on Germany. proof of which is said to have been discovered in one of the captured Belgian towns. of the fact that, in spite of the utmost, Britain could do to aid her little ally, brunt of such action and in the end probably find herself as utterly deso- conceived that the Belgians are so foolish Tn any event Germany had Ter career of destruction on Belgian soil and such contention can hardly bear the scrutiny Germany would de- sire A cause founded in truth and justice need not be propped with straws t. make it yet more stable and a plea approved by the principles of right eousness needs not the invocation of a wrong to make 1t just
 Regardless of the question of who started the war Germany has much to answer for in the case of Belgium. and we venture to predict that she will still stand convicted of ruthless disre- gard of all principles of justice If she continues in her present methods of seeking relief from the stinging scorn cf humanity for what she has done by offering as excuses, facts which she has learned only after having throwf her thunderbolt against a weak and defenseless nation which had until the last possible moment waited and be- leved in the honor of her mighty neigh hor and only delivered a hostile blow in defense of her own neutrality when

NOME, ALASKA. MARCH g, 1915.
A DISPLAY OF WEAKNESS.

1t would seem that Germany must, herself, feel that the excuses offered for the violation of little Belgium is lamentably weak. for not only has she amended her original plea, offered to Sir Edward Grey, before the war, that Belgium had violated her own neutra lity. but she has since sought to further justify her conduct by claiming as an excuse for what she has already done, facts which she has discovered since occupying the Belgian territory The original excuse offered in reply to the
 question of the English Premier as to
 her intentions in regard to the neu-
 trality of Belgium. beside the evasive answer that she could not say" claim
 ed that Belgium had broken her neutral obligations by withholding carload or corn" This was soon dropped and forgotten, however. and well il were that such a trifiing plea for the awful desolation she has wrought, should be forgotten. The pleading was then changed to that of Belgium having al- lowed the soldiers of France to enter her territory before the Germans had entered the country. While she has never proven the justice of her con- tentions in either of these cases. she has later attempted as remarked 10 justify what she had already done by claiming to have discovered proofs which would justify such actions as had been taken. If the cause of Ger many is as just as she would have it appear to the world, it would seem that this changing of pleas indicates a very weak case. In addition to the almost frantic attempts to justify her cause by laying the blame for the war, first on Russia and later on Britain, she has displayed a lamentable desire to grasp at almost any proof which will serve 10 show that she WAS not to blame for what has occurred in desolated Bel gium. We have little care for who is right or who is wrong in this matter Our only feeling is one of sincere sor- row for those hapless ones who must bear the blow and suffer and dle in cause which none of the contenders seem able to justify. Yet to us. it seems clear that while it is probably truo that much might he said in her defense. Germany is none Ihe less be- traying vital weakness in her me- thods of clearing herself of the stigma of wanton brutality and utter disregard of her plighted word in the case of Belgium. The latest contention, that he German Empire is in no wise re- sponsible for the act of Prussia in signing tho Belgian treaty because that act was consumated before the forma-

HOW TO LOOK YEARS
 LESS THAN YOUR AGE

The most aged race will look years younger after the use of ordinary merco- lt2ed wax for from ten days to two weeks. This remarkable substance, because of its peculiar absorptive power. actually re- moves the thin veil of faded or withered outer cuticle, a little at a time. Gradually the fresher more youthful skin under meath is revealed This absorption pro- cess being purely hygienic one. an en- tirelY natural complexion is acquired quite different from the artificial com pcNton. which appears anything but grlsh, though often bearing painful evil dence Of chidishnesS.
