.yOX POPUL.

Over in Fairbanks this week an election was held to see whether the people desired to change their form of civic elections, and allow the peo- pie to vote direct for clerk, attorney, and mayor, instead of delegating the power to the city council.
 The result was discouraging. Less than one-fourth of the people turned out to vote. and the majority of those who did turn out manifested a su- preme indifference as to the result.
 And yet, to the thinking citizen, the result was more important than 8 presidential election, a territorial or general election. It gave the people a chance to vote direct upon officials whose actions would make or mar their city's future. It took the power out of the hands of ring of politicians and placed 1t in the hands of the electors.
 It eliminated possible frame-ups at the voters expense, and marked an epoch in the dawn of self-govern- ment.
 But the people were indifferent!
 Verify "the voice of the people" is like unto tinkling cymbal and sounding brass.

ST. PATRICK.

Some fifteen hundred years ago. when leprechawns and fairies danced in the moonlit fens, and every Irish man was king Cor better), youth dwelt near the town of Severus, whose name was destined to keep Ireland on the map until the scroll of time is rolled up and delivered into the hands of the Keeper of Destiny.
 This young man was named Succat, or Patrick. His father was named Calpurnius, and himself was the son of Potitus, a priest. This being be- fore the reign of the bloody Sasse- mach and the combination on royalty, Calpurnius was also of noble blood.
 In one of the many forays of the Scots and Picts upon the Irish roy atty. about the year AHA. D., young Patrick was taken prisoner, and car ried off and. sold as slave, on the op- posite coast of Ireland, fin the terri tory of the Irish Picts, called Dal Araide. Here he remained in servi- ture for six years, faithfully tending the cattle of his master, and dream ing the visions which afterward made hiih EriD's patron saint.
 Escaping from his captors, Patrick, then a broth of boy about 21 years of age, according to some chroniclers, went over into France and studied for the priesthood. Other historians say that he spent the years of his noviti- ate upon the island of Lerims, in the Mediterranean. Be that as it may, Patrick learned his letters and in ''tyme becaim fayre scholard." His visions continuing, he embarked for the land of his birth to convert the hard-headed, hard-fghting Irish war riOrs.
 He performed many miracles and was ordained a bishop about the year Al, his. efforts firmly establishing Christianity in the Emerald Isle for all time.
 According to the historians of the time, he died about the year 469, in the 57th year of his life.
 St. Patrick's Day, March l7th, is celebrated in his honor, and is day set apart by every true Irishman to worship his patron saint.

of the greatest country on earth the next four years. But the question that arises is: What is their motive? Is it a love of adventure, a,belief that the army is a haven of rest for the storm-tossed, job-seeker, who has failed to make good as a civilian? Or is it prompted by the mere desire to get a place to sleep and clothes to wear at Uncle Sam's expense?
 The young man who enlists with the idea that service in the army is a bed of roses, and who expects to be groomed and curried and petted by his superiors is liable to be sadly un- deceived. Tie call is for MEN! Not for failures! The army is no place for a weakling!
 The Army and Navy today offers the best inducements to the young man of any profession we know of. A man can rise higher by his own ef- forts than in any of the professions. He can learn any trade he desires, and can go as high in salary as his men, tai efficiency will carry him.
 Many of the brightest and brainiest young men of today have realized the great possibilities existing in the Army and Navy, and have abandon ed lucrative positions to take up ser vice with the Nation. Some of the keenest mathematicians of the age and the best mechanicians and the greatest diplomats and politicians may be found in the ranks of the men who are planning the Nations military needs.
 The young man who desires a pro- fession and has not the money neces- sary to train his mind as a lawyer or doctor, will find the Army an admir- able place to enlarge his scope of use- fulness. By study and perseverance, he can reach a higher degree of eff ciency with the splendid instructors and facilities provided by the govern ment than in the public school or col lege. -.

The unconfirmed report that Col. w. P. Richardson, head of the Road Commission in Alaska, and long a res- ident of Valdez, has been ordered to join his company at the Mexican bor- der, will be received with genuine re- gret by all Valdezans who are ac- quainted with the genial Colonel. He has been. one of the best friends Valdez has among the government of ficials and the city had looked for great things, had the Colonel's plans for the trail between here and Fair banks materialized. It is to be hoped that the report is untrue and that Col. Richardson will again be in charge of the Road Commission at this place, as his experience and enthusiasm in his work have done much for the Terri tory.

mere chatter. Piffle! More battles for your country are fought out every day on the street and at the home than is fought on the battlefield. The truest patriot is not the man who shoulders his gun at the call of duty. The test of patriotism is found in the everyday, common walks of life, where the public enemy is insidious, and more dangerous than an armed foe in the open;
 Indifference to the public welfare is that insidious enemy. And that in- difference is growing. It is apparent in this community at the present mo- ment.
 Have you registered?

THE PATRIOT.

There is a form of patriotism much deeper that that excited by gunpow- der. No blare of bugle and fanfare of trumpet is necessary to impel the true citizen to his duty. He does not have to be begged to perform the functions conferred upon him by his flag. He does not have to be driven to obedience to law.

"A FOOL THERE WAS."

Last night several hundred peo- pie crowded the Empress theatre to witness the presentation of "A Fool Theye Was" with Theda Bara in the role of the Vampire. As the pictures were flashed on the screen the audience ran the gamut of varying thrills and emotions, and when the poor, weak erring "Fool'' was dragged to the gates of hell by his lustful love, the gasp of horror that ran through the audience sound ed like the glacier wind. And yet, the dramatization was as true to life as though some .particu- lar subject in the audience had been picked out and their lifo's secrets thrown upon the screen. Thomas Moore, the greatest poet the world has ever known, immortalized in a thrilling epic "the light that lies in woman's eyes''-and lies and lies.
 And the Fool was only one of many. From the time Eve and the Serpent put up the job on old Adam there have always been Fools, and they are not confined to the crowded cities. They are in the fields, and on tie sea, and under the earth, and in every walk and stage of life. In a crowd of one hundred average men you can find ninety-nine Fools and one plain Simp.
 The world is composed of Fools! We like to be Fooled! We would not recognize the Truth, unless it were clothed in cap and bells! And as a Man desireth so is he!
 We bow and strut and grimace and preen, and attract a fleeting atten- tion from the world. A greater Fool takes the stage and. our antics are forgotten.
 No, my friends, the Fool was not alone last night. We are all Fools.
 And the greatest Fool is he who tries to convince others they are Fools!

ALASKA Is truly the port of miss ing men. Hardly a week passes that some mother, father, sister or broth CT is not writing to the Governor seeking information as to the where abouts of some loved one. It is sad commentary upon a citizenship which will allow a man to turn his back upon all his relatives and friends and hide his identity in this primal wild erness. The first duty of a man is to his folks; to keep them informed as to his location and fortune. A law should be passed compelling all residents of a Territory as vast as this one to register and report their movements to proper officials. It is required in all other countries and is of great benefit in tracing those who wish to hide their identity in a strange land, or who pay so little at tention to blood ties as to live year after year allowing loving relatives and friends to remain in ignorance of their welfare. It is the supreme test of the egoist; the most perfect exhibition of selfishness and egotsm we have ever witnessed.

Evidently the central empires believe it will be better for Poland to be an independent nation. friend ly to them, than a part of Russia or an independent kingdom friendly to- ward Russia. But Poland has been given promises and guarantees so often by the Czar and these prom ises and guarantees have been brok- en so often, that its people can we'll avoid too high hopes of friendship oa the part of any of the belligerenat na- tions.

FOR MANY years Canada has lived with the belief that an alliance with the mother country was necessary for her protection. Since the beginning of the present war Canada has awak- ened to the fact that she is the pro- ficiary. If the residents of the coun- try of tn emaple leaf awakens to her mighty wealth and power she will take her place at the head of the nations of the world, where she be- longs, instead of being held in lead ing strings through sentimental ties. Canada is a great country, with broad acres. immense forests, and rich deposits of minerals. Her citi- zens are virile and energetic, and are the nucleus of mighty race of men. Had Canada remained out of the present war her wealth and in- fluence in world politics would have placed her in the van of the nations. It will take decades to replace the brave men whose blood has watered the battlefields of Europe.

ATTRACTING TOURISTS.

The move to .cfeate:a new orgaat- zation, whose object 1t will be to at- tract tourist travel to the Pacific Northwest, is @ step in the right di- lection. The Territory has too long neglected to realize on its scenic as- sets. Too little attention has been paid to the value of the tourist.
 The North Pacific Coast Tourist Association is new organization formed by representative from the various commercial organizations of Oregon, Washington and British Col umbia after three preliminary meet ings. It is proposed to finance the association for period of two years. The budget compreheuds the expendi- ture of $125,00O, Washington share being $50,O00, to be raised by the commercial clubs of the various cities. The civic bodies of the Terri tory should by all means amalgam- ate with the Pacific Coast Federation. The whole Territory would benedt by such association. The large body of tourist travel must not be over- looked as tangible asset in the rub- licity line. No city in the territory can offer them more than Valdez. Our Chamber of Commerce will un- avail itself of this timely to attract publicity to the vault of Alaska. .-.

ENGLAND's ARROGANCE.

THE attitude of Great Britain ir regard to the United States demands
 that she take American firms from her blacklist of those selling goods
 to Germany is certainly queer one
 and in direct opposition to the stand
 taken by Germany upon questions dealing with neutral nations. Great Britain has arrogantly taken unto herself the privilege of saying whom the United States can or can not sell
 goods to. forgetting that the United States has taken the attitude that as a neutral she will sell to all nations engaged in warfare, and refuse nonc
 She could hardly do otherwise and be called neutral. Germany mace a strong protest at the beginning of the war over this country selling goods and munitions to England. Presi- dent Wilson pointed out that under the law of nations neutral had a right to sell and must sell to all na- .ions.. Germany saw the justice of his view and unwillingly acquiesced.
 Now England arrogantly refuses to comply with President Wilson s demands that she cease blacklisting American firms for selling to Ger many, just as he demanded the right from Germany to continue selling to Great Britain, and, furthermore has placed those firms which sold the Deutschland her cargo upon the blacklist. Lord Gray states that he is surprised that this country should question the sovereignty of England in the matter, evidenly forgetting that if the United States accedes to England's demands she must also ac- cede to Germany's, to preserve neu- trality, thereby placing the Allies in an extremely precarious position, as this country furnishes three-fourths of the munitions and supplies enter ing the Entente Allies territory.
 To declare an embargo upon muni- IiOho anu ouPpiCo Wouiu pioOdUiy bring Great Britain to her senses quicker than any other act of repri- sal. Her existence depends upon the maintenance of her food supply, and her food supply up to the present has come from this country.
 Whether President Wilson will all low England to trample upon our rights and flagrantly violate our laws or whether he will adopt the same firm course he has pursued with Ger many upon the subject is a matter of conjecture.
 The fact remains that by estrang- ing the United States by vicious acts retarding our commercial relations with neutral countries Great Britain is greatly weakening her cause. While we admit that she is strug- gling for very existence we must also remind her that the war was of her seeking and that President Wilson and the United, States government is only in seeing that all the. helliserants, are received in this. upon the same status.
