THE JUDGMENT OF DANIEL
lFairbanks Citizenl


 On previous occasions Alaska and Alaskans have been given black eyes by illadvised acts of respon sible people. But the that were enacted at Juneau by various Senators in the joint public eau Thursday evening seem to cap the climax.
 For a body of men who have been hOnOred by being chosen to fill the highest electoral office that the people of the Territory could give them far forget themselves, and the dignity of their positions as Senators of Alaska, and descend to personalities unworthy of any decent citizen would seem to indi that least a part of the have been very badly fooled in making their selection. The caucus was supposed to have been called for the purpose of trying to to kind of gen. tleman's agreement as to the organization of the Senate From reports to what really happened at the meeting, it appears that at least part of the Senators exhibited tendency to forfeit all claims to being gentlemen.
 The most remarkable part of the astounding performance seems to be accredited to Senator Dan Sutherland. This gentleman in attempt to dis. credit the Democratic Senator's brought up the prose Cutons of the nOtOrus rape cases in Fairbanks last year. and ascribed the of the prosecutions being the Democratic party of the Fourth Division and the for them, that the defendants in the actions refused to join the ranks of Democracy.
 If the Senator should make such assertion before the public of Fairbanks 1t would simply be rldiculed, and he would be laughed of any gath ering for the absurdity of it. because the people here are the ground and know the facts. It is evident from the ports received that his assertion did not receive much credenCe in Juneau. either, as there much criticism aroused by his remarks

GERMANS ON

Washington, Aug. 31.-The Catholic

in his reply to the pope condemns the
imperial government, he takes care
not to reject the fundamental propo
sails of the papal note, apd even sub
scribes to the note in the main. In

TEE PRESIDENTS ANSW Err.

President Wilson, as the
chosen spokesman fer ciVlllza-
ton. has served notice OF bar
barism that the world must be
made safe for decency and for
peaceful order. The barbarltles
of the German governnr Ut
have risen up to damn it.
There is no halfway ground
now. The bloody crimes com
mitted against the world must
lie atoned and in the attonment
autocracv must fall. The III 81
dents couteOus answer to the
pope shows the impossible ty OF
a peace which merely restores
the status quo ante.
In giving the reasons why
peace is impossible under the
pope's plan the president in
diets the German government
in words that burn. The text
of his note is the biggest news
item in all the world today. All
the civilized peoples, except the
oppressed German people, Will
be given opportunity to read it
and be thrilled by it. Every
American man and woman, and
every American youth and
maiden should read it and re-
read it. for it tells them the size
of the work before this country
and tells them Why this country
must fight until Germany has a
government fit to treat with
decent governments and capa-
bic Of keeping its solemn
pledges.
The much derided shirt
sleeve diplomacy" Of America
will yet become the diplomacy
o. the world, for fshirt-sleeve
diplomacy means honesty and
fraqkness. The day is coming
when the people OF any nation
will scorn a government that
has been guilty Of the brutali-
les. the treacheries and the
contemplate mendacities that
the German government has
shown the world during the
past three years.
This is the time for pacifists
10 announce a cessation Of act
ivities. Their activities must
cease if they are loyal 10 their
government. This is the time
for Germans, masquerading as
Americans, to understand the
dangers of disloyalty, to realize
that the lines are tightening in
this country to ask themselves
whether it best for them to at
tempt to support a government
from which they flee.
War is terrible thing and
this is the most terrible Of wars.
The presidents note shows to
the people of this country that
this war can be ended only by
victory of the entente allies.
The task before us holds Guf-
fering and hardships and tears,
but every patriotic American
should thank God that the
bluudering efficiency of the
German government brought
the United States into ii early
enough to give us time fer pro-
per preparation and the build
ing of an army capable Of de-
Tending the American flag ON
any field and against any odds.
