HENATED AMERICANS

HYPHENATED AMERICANS
The lingo patriots who, under the
present conditions, seem to be occupy
ing the center of the state, are trying
to work up a frenzy Of indignation
against "hyphenated Americans" for
getting we all be long to that class,
and the farther back the hyphen dates
the less reason we have to be proud
of it.
The ancestors of the bluest blooded,
bluest bellied Yankees came from for
eign countries only few generations
ago, and big bunch Of the male an
cestors were redemptioners, ticket of
leave men and fugitives from military
service who left, or were deported,
flom their old world homes for the
good of the localities in which they
resided, and big bunch of the female
ancestors were sent over en- cargo and
sold at auction to the old time hyphen-
ated Americans for wives. The an
cient family tree of many of the blus-
terers who are so busily berating ''hy-
phenated Americanism" has ropes
hanging from it's limbs and their fam
lily escutcheon is emblazoned with
handouts and shackles.
Americas biggest buffer recently
calculated, GA man must be an Amer
lean, with no second choice, or 1 have
no time for him." and great many
thoughtless citizens are DESTROYS of
running him for the presidency with
this euphonious epigram of demagog-
acy for a platform.
The man who is ashamed of the
home of his childhood builds a home
of which his own children are asham-
ed.
The man who is disloyal to the
country Of his nativity is disloyal to
the country of his adoption.
The anarchists and other disorgan-
izers, who in recent years have flock
ed to our shores and tried to raise
hell with our government, our society,
our institutions and our religion are
not men who loved, but men who hated
their native land.
The best citizens of foreign lands
make the best American citizens.
The Englishmen who roar out "God
Save the Kingw on st. Georges Day;
the Frenchmen who sing the "Mar-
settles" with streaming eyes at their
social gatherings; the Germans who
chant ode Wacht am Rhine" most
fervently when they assemble, and the
Norwegians who most lovingly and
tunefully sing, "Ja vi elske dette
handel" on the "syttende Maj" are
the men who stand reverently uncov-
cred when the band plays "The Star
Spangled Banner"
There never has been a war fought
on American soil in which the blood
of foreign born soldiers, wearing the
loyal blue and fighting in the armies
of freedom, did not crimson the field
OF carnage and to all these heroes it
was America first and the land of
their birth second.
Columbia owes much of her pros
perity, her morality, her intellectual
ity, her liberty, her progress and her
very existence to her hyphenated
American citizenry.
Hyphenated Americans are all
right. Int the "American" shou1d he
placed in front of the hyphen.
There is no room in this country for
German"-Americans, French Amer
leans, 'English"-Americans, "Scandi-
navian"- Americans, or "Irish"-Ameri-
cans, but the more loyal, sturdy, true
blue American Germans, American
French, American-English, American
Scandinavians, American-Irish or
American-anything else we have, the
better.

CH|SELED GRANITE MOUNTAIN WILL COMMEMORATE
 coNFEDRAcY IA

Stone mountain, a great naked dome of light gray granite, an hour by motor from stlanta, will possibly be transformed into a colossal monument commemora- tive of the sacrifice and military endeavors made by the south during the civil war. In the up per portion of the mountains s precipitious face it is expected to chisel a frieze representative of the once formidable army Of the confederacy. A handsome page view in the April Popular Me chanics magazine shows how this will be executed.
 The financing of this enterprise is in the hands of the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial Association, which is headed by tie honorable president of the United Daughters of the Con federacy. It is estimated that S2,ooo,ooowill be sufficient to car " out the undertaking, and this sum is to be raised by subscrip- ton in the south. The entire facade of the mountain, enough of it's crest otp reserve it's sky line, and an So acre tract at the base which wlil be developed into a park, have been donated for the memorial. This property will re main under the custodianship of the women, although virtually conveyed to the state.
 One of America's foremost sculptors has been chosen to execute the work. His compo- sition represents an army divid- cd in two wings, mounted and aoot, following the contour of the mountain. Pressing over the crest and keeping to its right will be the main body composed of cavalry, infantry, and artillery. At one side of this, rounding the monolith, will appear the other force headed by brilliant group of horsemen consisting of the figures of Lee, Stonwall Jackson, "Jeb" Stewart, the Johnstons, and probably to her great south ern leaders of the Cos. This granite army, carved in full re- lief, will extend across the side of the great rock for roughly 2,ooo feet. The horsemen will doubtless average between AS and 50 feet in height, although these and the former figures are merely approximate estimates There will be altogether some I, 200 separate portraits, each uni formed in the gray of the gran ite.

MONDAY, MAY Is, 1916.

The recent recommendation ot General Funston that a portion of the infantry forces be tempor- arily converted into cavalrymen in order to provide an effective guardianship over that section of the border touching upon Mexi- can territory, furnishes further significant illustration of the woeful lack of military efficiency of this country.
 Here We are at present facing what even the officials of the ad- ministration concede is a very serious prospect of war with the Mexican people and yet We are totally unable to prevent q con tinuous succession of trifiing bandit raids along a strip of ter ritory whereon is mobilized the greater portion of our military forces without proceeding to makeshift provisions. Funston openly says that it is impossible to properly guard the border in the absence of the regularly con stituted cavalry branch of the service, owing to the inability oi the infantry troops to cover the wide stretches of territory ex- posed to hostile attack.
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-05-15

Considering that probably six ty per cent or more of the regu- lar military forces are concen- trated along the border, this ap- pears a rather startling admis- sion and also one that leads to rather serious reflection as to what might be the eventualities if an active state of war existed between the Mexicans and OUT selves.
 Did such a conditions exist, it Is very probable that practically all of the Mexicans along the border would constitute them selves irregulars intent on dam aging the United States and its people by any means in their power and the very natural re suit would be that dozens, per haps hundreds, of raids would occur along the far reaching boundary line.
 How we would be able to guard against them with the bulk of our military forces en- gagged with the army or armies such as the Mexicans would place in the field against us, is something of a question. If we cannot stop a few raiders with over half of our military forces doing nothing else but watching the border, how would we pre- vent a hundred raiding bands from crossing the line when the exigencies of war required that our regular troops should be otherwise engaged?
 It will probably be suggested that the duty would devolve up on the state militia or that an army of volunteer citizens could be created for the purpose in the event of the militia being called upon to assist the regular army. This is very likely what would happen but, whether the forces delegated to the task were mih- tia or volunteers, it is clear that 1t would be a somewhat difficult business for them to accomplish what the bulk of the regular army is seemingly unable to do, especially as there would in all probability be hundred raiding efforts to be guarded against in stead of a very few as at present.
 It is not to be doubted, of course, that an adequate force of some character could and would be ultimately provided but one dislikes to think of what might possibly happen while our pro crastinating government was getting it ready.
 It is also somewhat disconcert ing to reflect that, if a war should suddenly develop, untrained civ ilian soldiery must be called out by great nation like the United States in order to guard an in fnitesimal portion of its bound ary line
 Nice outlook, isn't it? A coun- try with a hundred million peo- pie, possessing an incompatible vastness of riches and yet unable to prevent its borders being rav- aged with fire and sword because of an absence of adequate defen- Sive measures.

CABLE WILL BE
 REP AIRED SOON

AdviCes received at the local sig
 nal corps office by various and di- versified routes are to the effect
 that the cable repair ship Burnside left Seattle for the Alaskan coast
 on May 25. She is coming north to repair the Alaska cable. which has been broken for the past two weeks, the break having been a source of considerable trouble to
 the newspapers and to other people doing business by telegraph.
 When the cable went out of com mission the Burnside was in dry dock in Seattle, and it was reported
 that 1t would be fully eight weeks before she could be sent north. She has therefore started On her trip earlier than was anticipated and it is expected will have the cable re-
 paired by June l at the latest. Since the cable went ont, tele- grams have been received in Fair banks by various routes. W hen II is working the Canadian line IS the best medium of communication with the Outside when the cable is out That is, it is the fastest. It usually happens, however, that when the cable is out of Commis- sion, the Canadian line also goes out, particularly on Sunday. when to get the latest and best press dispatches from the Outside. And
 the United States navy wireless men absolutely refuse to work on Sun-
 day. Consequently it is very hard for this paper to get a good service when the cable is out

 AUGUST IS.

At a meeting of the Democratic divisional committee held Saturday afternoon at the offices of McGowan X Clark, it was decided that the divis ional convention will be held at Fairbanks on Wednesday, August l6 And 1t was also decided that J. II. Caskey, as chairman of the divisional committee, should issue call for primaries to b held iu the various ,oting precincts of the Fourth division for the purpose O electins delegates to the convention The apportiOnment of delegates is given in the official call printed elsewhere in this issue of The Ciri. zen
 The primary in Fairbanks will be held ou July 15 between the hours of and ' P. NJ In all other vot ing precincts the date for holding the primaries will be July 2 from , 10 r Nj The call in printed form, together with other instruc tons for holding the primaries. will be sent to prominent Democrats who reside in the outlying precincts.
 The convention to be held is ror the purpose of nominating two can didates for representative and on" candidate for senator for the Alaska legislature. But very little repre- sentative timber has yet presented itself. as far as can be learned, but it is understood that Thomas A Mo Gowan. undismayed by the fact that he was badly defeated at the cleo. ton two years ago, has announced his candidacy for senatorial toEa In fact, his petition has already been circulated. and there have been many signers.
 Mir McGowan is seeking Ihe noui nation at the hands of the regular Democrats.

Case Continued
 Until June Second

On account of the fact that his appeal brief was not filed on the dpte when it was to have been heard, May 22, the case Of Dr. NJ F. Han vs. the United States has been con- tinued until June 2. according to a wire received by District Attorney R. F. Roth last Thursday. And in the same wire the district attorney Wal instructed to notify Dr. Hall ard his attorney, Leroy ToZier. of the action of the circuit court of ap- peals in continuing the case, the inference being that the decision of the lower court will be affirmed by the appellate body unless the brief is filed by June ?
 The case in question is the one where jury found the physician guilty of an assault on the person of little girl Dr. Hall was given the limit sentence, or six months in jail and fine of $500 It was from this decision that he appealed.
 It Is understood that it is the in tention of the attorney for the phy- sician to have the appeal brief on file by the date mentioned as tna on which the matter will be heard by the circuit court of appeals

Steamer Delta Is
 First To Arrive

The first boat of the season to arrive in port, the steamer Delta, of the AmericanYukon Navigation company, reached Fairbanks Satur- day morning. And her arrival coll siderably relieved the situation here in regard to the various shortages, for she brought cargo of hay and oats for beasts, and perishables for man.
 There were only few passen- gers for Fairbanks on the Delta, the majority of those who left Dawson having been employees of the Alas kan Engineering commission, who disembarked at Nenana. The ar irving passengers were:

Local Democrats
 Getting Anxious

Owing to the fact that telegraphic communication between Fairbanks and Juneau is practically out of commission. that is, messages can- not be received here short of two or three days after they are sent. local Democrats are getting anxious concerning what might have deve}- oped at the Democratic t'rrtoriai convention. which started at Juneau on May 24 It is now almost cer- tain that the convention is over and the delay in the transmission of news regarding the nominee of the Democratic party of Alaska for delegate as we'll as the nominees fol the minors offices, is aepravating to the local politicians, to say the least
 patches received here concerning the meeting of the Democrats are pre- conventional It is indicated, how ever. that the candidate for dele gate who will be named at the con vention will be Charles SulZer, of the First division, a brother of former Governor William A.
