 Almost instantaneously with the announcement through an Empire bulletin that the President had signed the declaration of war, flags appeared from practically ever flag staff in Juneau. |e Empires flag was the first to be flung to the breeze, and it was followed inn mediately by flags from the hotels and stores and other places of bus mess. Patriotic bunting, and the pictures of the President and Ann erican patriots, living and those Of other days, were displayed.
 Whistles Blow.
 On receipt of telephone informa- tion the whistles of the mine mills 1t Treadwell and Thane were blown, and those of Juneau and Douglas quickly joined in the ,horus.

 The loyalty of German-born Am orleans was eXemplifed last night when practically all of them who are Elks joined in the procession, and others gave expressions of their determination to stand with Am orleans.

AMERICAN SILKS

It's about time for the woman who
likes to pay a large price for an ex
elusive pattern of silk imported from
abroad to look into the silk industry
of her own country
A silk expert in the United States
has said that this country now haa
every requisite for the manufacture OF
fine and beautiful silks There are
plenty OF materials, plenty of artist,
talent for designs and plenty Of dyes
to get the desired colors." The new
looms are marvellous.
These American silks are of as fine
quality as the imported ones. Every
variety of weave is represented with
the exception of the heaviest brocades
and silver tinsel materials.
If the American woman is after
quality when she purchases silk, she
will cease to bow to a label. If she
buys an imported silk ii will be because
that silk Is superior in quality to any
Of the homemade silks she has seen.
beautiful fabric need not be scorned
simply because II lacks the foreign
mark. Besides which, many a woman
buying foreign label accompanied by
fifteen yards Of silk has received Amer
ican.made goods.
More practical discrimination and
judgment on the part Of the woman

velopment of this new American indus.

in the marking of goods.

TASK OF THE EXEMPTION
BOARDS.

ST. Joseph CMo) News-Press: The
great defense for conscription has been
that the system is the most equitable
one as well as the most efficient one
This plea must be justified in the ap-
plication of the law. General rules
have been laid down at Washington as
to the broad classes of exemption, first.
on the basis of marital condition and
economic responsibility, on the grounds
Of occupation, etc. But 1t still remains
true that an enormous responsibility
rests with the local exemption boards.
Each state and each locality will have
its own task and the problems that
arise must be adjusted in accordance
partly with general regulations from
Washington and partly in obedience to
the dictates Of common sense, justice
and national obligation. A national
service must be performed by local
agencies humanity exposed to the appeal
of nelghbors, friends and business re-
latlons. We may be sure that political
influence will be brought into play.
Against all such cases Of special plead
ing the local boards must hold firm.
The members of the exemption boards
must think nationally and impartiauy.

THANK YOU, COLONEL.

Ardmore Statesman: Our esteemed
contemporary, The Daily Ardmoreite
won the flowers, alright, in the manner
IL which they handled the draft report.
No one not connected with the newspa.

what job 1t was. To receive the thous-
ands Of words, mostly in figures and
quasi-cipher translate them and sepa.

within few hours after receipt. is a
herculean task-and our neighbor ac.
complished 1t in record time.
Their enterprise in getting out an
extra edition late In the evening carry.

from Carter county, much of which
came over the wires after the regular
edition had to go to press, was a pure
manifestation of public spirit No Tex

matter Of such an expensive character
ever pays, in the sense OF getting back
from the sale Of papers what the issue
costs. That extra" doubtless cost The
Ardmoreite the big end OF a hundred
dollars The paper sold at five cents
the copy but the newsboys get fully
half Of that-probably more. So it will
be seen that in order TO break even they
would have had 10 sell at least four
thousand copies of the extra, which is
probably twice the number the people
of Ardmore bought. The profit" the
newspaper got, therefore, was in "giv.
ing their customers the news while it is
news" None Of the daily productions
that come to our notice did better than
our neighbor did. We heartily congrat.
ulate them on their good work in this
instance.

NO boy has right to perform any act
which does not tend to make him a
more useful member Of society. This
rule always holds good down to the last
notch OF human endeavor, and 1t applies
as well to pleasure as to work"
SO far, nothing could be more sound
and sensible. Usefulness to society is

CHOSEN FOR HONOR.

II is not TO be forgotten as the young
men are chosen by this fair draft which
looks upon all men as equals, which
plays no favorites, that they have been
honored by their choice
II they pass the examinations, and
90 10 the training camps, II means that
they are sound In mind and body, free
from uncleanness and disease. II is
not the families OF those exempted who
should rejoice. II is the families OF
those who are taken.
Men who are exempted because they
have families to support. or BECAUSE
they are in occupations where the gov
ernment needs 20 have them stay, are
already doing their duty OF defense
They also are worthy OF honor. And
there are men with physical derects
which are no fault OF their own. mon
whose hearts are wrung within them
because they cannot be chosen These
too, may serve as ably at home as thell
brothers at the front.
But the cutters are trying 10 avoid
the choice through selflshness or COW
ardlce-these disgrace the nation and
the cause Il serves.
And let It not be forgotten that in
respect to those who are not physical
ly or mentally III their families OF
their communities have failed. II is not
right that men should reach the TWEEN
ties stunted, weak, blind, crippled. tu
bercular with arrested mental devel
opment In proper civilization men
