OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG.

"Ow Country! In Her IntercourSe 7VHh Foreign Nations May She Al7vays Be m the Right; but OV Country, Right or Wrong. "-- Stephen Decatur.
 Immortal words those, coming down the ages to the present time from the lips of one who has been immortalized in American naval history as one of the greatest of our naval commanders of early days. Particularly are they appropriate at the present time, when 1t is undoubtedly true that many people, al though willing to stand by the government and the administration officials in whatever they do in regard to international intercourse, still feel that something is wrong, somewhere, somehow.
 Tomorrow the congress of the United States convenes in special session at the call of President Wilson. It is being called either to declare war on Germany or to declare that a state of war has already existed for some weeks. That it will do one or the other is not to be doubted for an instant.
 Few there are who will openly antago- nze the government in such a crisis, for to do so would be treason. There are some, however, who will in secret and in their own hearts criticise the administration officials for their action. At such a time they should al ways remember the words of the immortal Decatur: "Ow Country! In Her Intercowse lvHh Foreign Nations May She AlavQyS Be iu the Right; but OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG."

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

The American spirit is we'll eNemphtlcd in the proclamation which President Wilson issued yesterday 10 the foreigners i'll the Omt ed States whereby they were merely cautioned against agitation against the government, and forbidden access to military posts or rcserNa- tions, and the right to possess firearms oi any kind. The personal liberty of these persons is not to be taken away from them so long as they conduct themselves properly, This Is heartily ill accord with the American doctrine of regarding every man as an honest up right citizen and allowing him to pursue his business unmolcsted
 The action of the government in allow ing even German citizens to retain unmOlested their property interests is in striking contrast with that oi other nations, where property was coniiscated in the name of the government, and in some cases destroyed by private cltl- zcns What action Germany will take with regard to property of American citizens within the confines of her borders remains yet tC be seen, but if she follows her course in the case of the other nations whom she Is at war with, it will be seized by the government.
 The policy of America is directly in line with the declaration of the President that Am erica was not warning on the German peO- pie, but with tneIr government, thus QfdWll& d distinction between the Germans and theil HohenzolIcrn rulers and the autocratic class cs There are hundreds of thousands of Ger man citizens in the United States today, and the people of America feel nothing toward them but a regard of fricndliness and sym pathy for the situation in which they are now involved. It rests with these Germans Wheth- CT or not this friendly feeling continues, Judg- mcnt will be made on them with respect tC their conduct and daily conversation and treatment given accordingly.
 There are numerous Germantown i'll and around Fairbanks who are we'll known and we'll respected, and who have formed numer- ous friendships here. The fact that war now exists between their mother country and their adopted country renders their position trying and dOubly hard, but we know of few, if any who will hesitate about supporting their adopted country much as it will gricve them To such men there will be no change in their present friendly relations, and the regard ot their American associates will be only in creased out of respect for the difficulty under which they are handicapped It is hoped and believed that they will be deserving of the square deal which is being accorded them by the American government and justify it by their actions.

that region

After several years existence with out such an institution, Ruby is to have a bank Such is the statement made since the arrival In Fairbanks yesterday of A. J. (BerD Day from the Outside. where he is said to have organized corporation having for it's purpose of organization the estab lishment of banking institution at the lower river camp,
 Mr. Day was formerly agent of the Northern Commercial company at Ruby. but resigned the position about a year ago to engage in busi ness for himself Last fall he went Outside from Ruby. and the purpose of his visit there is made evident by the statement that he is to estab- fish banking institution at the flourishing lower river mining camp.
 Although Ruby has always been one or the pIOuuCluB tdllipS ol lil' interior, it has never had bank. All of the banking men have passed it up, for what reason is unknown. The lack of such an institution there has always been great source of worry and trouble to Ruby merchants and mining men, Merchants partic- ularly have been handicapped for the reason that when they wanted to ship goods with bills of lading at tached it has been necessary for them to do business through the banks of Fairbanks as the nearest bank center Mining operators. too, will be benefited to a considerable extent, as they may now dispose of their gold dust at home instead of having to ship 1t either to the Out side or to Fairbanks to exchange 1t for money.

PATRIOTISM.

The love of my country" said George Washing ton, will be the ruling influence of my conduct" Or this simple principle is all patriotism founded There only kind of patriotism but there may be many kinds of patriots.
 Not all men manifest their love in the same way but each according his nature. It is well to bear his in mind during these warlike days when mems minds are apt to be overswayed with the nflammabe passion of impending struggle Because our fellow citi zen does not take the method of showing his love or his that should not the cause of any unpleasant feelings.
 We are now, at least of us are, forming organization which have named the Alaska Loyal League" Let be careful as we proceed with the completion of the formation of this society that dc not become bigoted and narrowmnded Let not presume upon our membership in this body cast any reflection on the motives the characters o1 hose who not members
 While have chosen this method of exhibiting oul patriotism, does not necessarily follow that others should feel the same impelling motive. Their love for America is just deep and lasting ours i'll becomes any patriot to look askance another when the government needs the services of us all
 In normal times it pays think well before we peak take action. In these abnormal days we should therefore be much careful both of our speech and actions It is enough for the country be beset with outside troubles without having to contend with internal disputes that easily be avoided.

 In the house almost two hours were taken up in debating the pro posed district school bill outside of incorporated towns. Issues were raised over the qualifications of vot- CTS in these school elections and whether those who had taken out their first citizenship papers should be allowed to participate in such elections. The house is evenly di- yidcd on the proposed measure. which will probably come up for a vote in few days.
 One new bill only was introduced in the house. This asks for the ap- propriation of $40,000 for construc- Jion, repair and maintenance of roads in Alaska.

Germany. It is about what it was expected to be. While last night congress had taken no action in regard to the message it Is more than likely that by the time this paper is on the streets 1t will have acted on the suggcs- ton of the President, and the United States will be holding up her end of the war with Germany.
 The time for disscnsion and captious crit iciSms of the course of the President has gone hy. II is the duty, and should be the priyi egc of every American citizen to back the administration by words and deeds The spectacle of frantic men and women descend ing on Washington striving to prevent con gress from cooperating with President Will son Is dlsgraCetul one, and those so cn- gagged should either shut up, or be put up.
 Ii ever nations entrance into a war was justitiabIc, that of America is Many times has the nation, under the guidance of President Wilson, suffered indignities and in suits from Germany that any other country would have considered more than sufficient ,ausc for war. Time and time again has the President shown his willingness to be Ger nanys friend and assist her in any way possible, but all to no purpose
 And so the war has resulted. How deep Y we will become involved remains to be seen. But the recommendation of the President that a volunteer army of half million men, n addition to the recruiting of all the regular branches of the service, indicates that we are preparing to do our full share. This is as it should be- Too long have the entente borne the brunt of mighty struggle Now that we ire ln it. we can render them invaluable ser vice. Our soldiers, while welcome enough, will constitute one of the smallest items of assistance. Liberal credits will be extended the allles and in numerous ways we can give them industrial assistance.
 halt-mlll1On volunteers Is not a large number, as armies go nowadays There should not be much difficulty in raising this number of men. But this is no excuse for anyone standing back and waiting for the other fel- oW to offer his service. NOW IS THE TIME YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU. Not last week, or tomorrow, or even next week, but TODAY
 Ii the 0OO,OOO men are raised by the time you offer yourself, it won't be much trouble to tell you so The main thing is to offer yourself, and then let the government say whether 1t wants you or not Let it not be said that Alaska or Alaskans stood back and let others fight Americas battles, while we stood idly by
 Nor is the hardest part of the fight to be carried on by the soldiers. It rests with the tay-at-homes to say how successful we are. Those who are forced to remain behind must 10 two and three mems work in order to keep the nation alive and feed those throughout the world who are dependent upon us Our armies must have food and other supplies. There are not any too many ways that we in Alaska can be of assistance, but there are some, and each and every available man should lind out what these are and set about doing them immediately

TWO SENTENCED
 BN THE COUNT

BY THE COJkI
 When court convened yesterday af- ternoon ar ? o'clock Mrs. Rose St. Louis boIant through her attorney. s. IL MtlIwec. stated to the court that she would like 10 change her plea of not guilty" 10 the commit ting of the crime of adultery to guilty" This charge. which is a misdcmoanor. was contained in the indictments which charged that Mrs Rose St. Louis and James Roland had been living together illegally as man and wife. Roland had prayi ously been convicted of the charge. During his trial Mrs. st. Louis had secured divorce from her former husband and the defendants had been married
 Attorney MiIlwce also stated that both defendants desired that sen ,ence be passed by the court imme- diately He asked the court to sen tencc both 10 pay light fine. saying that the offensc of which Roland had been convicted and to which Mrs. Roland had pleaded guilty was but a misdemeanor.
 In replying to Mr. Millwee's state ment, District Attorney Roth stated that he considered that the jury which sat on the Roland case showed extreme leniency in returning a yer dict conyicting the defendant of the crime of adultery instead of the greater crime of illegal cohabitation. He also said that to his mind the evidence adduced was conclusive proof that the greater crime had been committed, and, in concluding, asked hat the maximum penalty be yIlstcd on Roland by the court.
 Judge Bunnell passed sentence on Roland first He told the defendant that apparently his greatest trouble was liquor. accusing him of coming into court on W Anesday in at least partially intoxicated condition. Ho further stated that it was time that Bo'and stopped trying to drink up all the whiskey in the country and started in to make a home for him self and his wife. In concluding, he stated that the maximum penalty for the crime of which the defendant had been convicted was a fine ol $2OO or three months in jail, or both, but that he would sentence him to pay a fine of 800 and costs.
 Mrs. Roland was then called to her feet. Judge Bunneu told her that the remarks he had made to Roland she could consider as applied to herself He said that the evidence at the Roland trial had convinced him that she was a good worker and that she and Roland should nov try to make a good home for them selves He agreed with the state ment of Roland, made on the witness stand, that the woman had not had good chance, stating, in effect that she could now grasp the oppor tunity offered, and with her husband try to make a home. He then sen tenced her to pay fine of $40 and costs of trial.
