WORK WE'LL DONE

So far as AlGskans are concern ed, probably the best piece of news that has come out of the National capital for several months is that the Alaska road appropriation of $5O0,OOO was restored to the Army Appropriation bill in the Senate, an that 1t will undoubtedly be permit ted to remain there by the confer ence committee, In the midst of active preparations for war, when it might well be expected that Alas bs would come in for comparatively little attention by the members of Congress, and it speaks volumes for the activity of Colonel Rich ardson ("Our Colonel Dick") and the other friends of Alaska at the CaUital that the appropriation was l estored after being dropped in the House.-Valdez Miner.

BE ECONOMICAL

Economy must be one of our watchwords in this great war, We must economize in every way pos sible. We must produce all we can, make it go as far as we can and waste absolutely nothing which can be avoided. If We save all the food that We now waste in various ways, 1t will go far towards feeding our armies; but when wasted 1t feeds neither them nor ourselves.
 When our country was at peace, we felt that we could be extraTa- gant at times, because prosperity favored us; and while we may still be prosperous. we must remember that We must divide with our great armies which have become users an not producers.

NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP

While the administration Is fully justified in limiting the rights Of during the war no one will agree that they should be entirely muzzled. Not even the German newspapers are completely gagged during the war as we can see from quotations from Vorwaerts and other Berlin journals from time to time. It would be mon strous to expect in any country that if a government by incompetency or otherwise were endangering the in- tarests of that country the public press should be kept silent, Criticism of the conduct of war would be of no material advantage to an enemy.

THE HOME GUARD

The confidence placed in the pa triotism of Sk2gway has been juSi- fled.
 At the patriotic rally held last night in Elks' hall, seventy-four men and boys joined the hone guard, to organize which the meeting was held.
 Nc one in the audience that fill ed the hall, could but feel that the spirit displayed there showed that Americans are worthy to possess the country which was founded in lib er+y by the heroes who gave their lives for it ia the days of the revolution.
 Men and women of the United States today are just as ready to make the great sacrifice foI their country as were their torebears of colonial days.
 Skagway citizens proved that last night, just as the men and women in other cities and towns under ihs American flag are doing.
 The home guard is being formed for home protection in case need of defense for the community arises. Completion of the organization is to be accomplished at a meeting to- morrow night, when officers will be elected.
 These who may not fully under stand the purpose Of the guard and for that reason did not join last night, will learn, by attending this meeting, just what are the duties of the home guards and be given up- portunity to enroll in the country.
 The men and boys who signed the roll last night may or may not be called upon for service. But the readiness with which they yolun- +eered for home defense shows tha the country can count on citizens oF Skagway to do their duty.
 No one wants war. The men who are forming the home guard do not want war. But everyone does want the principles of democracy upheld and the home guard com pany Is being organized with that soirit as its motive.
 Such 8 spirit should enlist the support of every American Hu- manfty plays just as Gig part in preparedness now as does pa triotism.

GOVERNMENT 10 BAR EXCESSIVE WAR PROFITS
If Prices Are Too High Uncle Sam Can Take Over and opeT-
 ate Plants.

The government has Invoked for the first time its drastic powers to strike a deathblow at eXorbitant war profits. Under authority of the last naval ap- propriation bill a manufacturer was directed to furnish large order of war supplies at price fixed by the govern ment, far lower than the figure Tolun- tarily submitted. If the order Is not obeyed the plant will be taken over and operated by the government.
 It Is understood that the concern against which these statutes have been invoked refused to meet the govern ment's requirements as to price when the orders were rendered originally and in the regular way. So far as known this is the only case of the kind yet produced by the present emergency.
 European governments are paying an average of 10 per cent profit on war materials purchased In the United States. It was asserted authoritatively that the government of the United States intends to buy its own supplies at less than that rute of profit to the seller. The law invoked Is section 8 of the last naval appropriation bill, as follows:
 The president Is authorized to require the owner or occupler of any factory in which the ships or war material are built or produced to place at the disposal of the United States the whole or any part of the output of such factory and, within the limit of the amounts appropriated therefor, to deliver such output or parts thereof in such quantities and at such times as may be specified in the order at such reasonable price as shall be deter mined by the president
