THIS IS ALLEGIANCE.
(Collier's S Weekly)

From the speech of Bernard J. Rothwel, former rresdent of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, at meeting of the Economic Club of Boston:
 And now. American of foreign birth to whom the old land must forever remain fragrant memory, these closing words
 Whatever the land of birth this is the land of deliberate choice The former accidental-the latter is by design.
 We accepted the privileges of citizenship-we assumed it's responsibilities. We Americans by con- yiction. We other allegiance to God and to our fresdes. Old World antagonsms racial feuds. action quarres. religious preudices, here have no place. ta he high be he low in church state private life he is traitor who would invoke those pas ons permit them his action days of su- preme trial the soul of the nation grant each of the vision to clearly the path of duty and the strength follow it manfully."

OUR DELEGATE.

A short time ago, the senate committee took up bill having for it's object the encourage ment of coal mining on the public domain, ln- cuding coal lands in Alaska. The committee met pursuant to call from the chairman at the suggestion of Delegate Suzer who was deSrous of providing more liberal lease system, etc, to encourage the opening of the great coal fields of the Territory. In due time, the delegate was called upon to give his view. All throughout his argument. he was Interrupted repeatedly by various members of the committee who asked him a kinds of questions. Strange to say his answers as appear of record before us now do not show one single instance where he attacked any one of any zwrong intention. Accused none of conspiracy but merely stated that which he considered should be done to encourage the op- ening of the mines. And stranger still, every member appears to have been intensely inter- ested in what he said and incidentally appears to have been his friends Yet, the Guggenheims were never 1nnetoned. At least their names do not appear.

not appear.

From all accounts, Russia seems to be in a much mixed situation. There seems to be no firm head to their government, which is compos- ed now of soldiers workmen and delegates from all over the country, all with various objects in view and manner of accomplishment. Appar- ently what the country needs is HEAD. A first class dictator such as the kaiser only work ing and dictating in the opposite direction to what the latter is working. Not to gain power to govern the world, but merely to maintain peace. Just like President Wilson is doing to- day.
 President Wilson today is real dictator. His power, however is derived from the people through congress. As a commander of the army and navy, he can send Us to the front at a mom- ents notice-or without notice. He can make Us eat as little as possible and we do it cheer fully because we have recognized the necessity

in order to maintain our independence. In or der to save our liberty, we have appointed dlc- tator with the power to make us do anything until such time as our liberty is saved. Russia today is the opposite. They all want to govern
 In time of danger, where several must act, there should be but one dictator. It is to be hoped that Russia will soon recognize the necessity Of having a man who can lead them and make them do things. Why don't they call on the Colonel?

If what Judge Jennings said the other day in his address could be reduced into pills and ad- ministered to the German war lords and others of their ilks we have no doubt but what the world would be benefitted because the effect would either be to drive them off the earth or raise little sense. Either one would be well come but principally the former.
