BIG MEN DEMANDED

President Wilson probably will find
before the war is we'll under way that
he.will have to have about him men
really capable of discharging the new
duties imposed upon them-men in
whom the country has complete con-
tidence. Some OF his present advis-
frs may develop the capacity need
full to meet an entirely new situation
created by the war, but few of those
row closely associated with the presi-
dent are popularity regarded as big
men,
The need of a change in some de-
partments appear to be indicated by
the barrier which has been raised be-
tween the president and congress,
particularly the senate. In star cham
Der session few days ago the SEN
ate severely criticised the executive
department for alleged lack of Coop
Grafton and for assumption of the
functions which. ii was claimed. were
vested exclusively in the law-making
body Some of the senators were sea-
thing and bitter in their criticism Of
the acts of the president and his sub
Ordinates in the executive depart
nlent.
Probably the senate forgot to see
the mote in its own eye. for the sem
ate has been INDUCING in altogether
100 much windjamming since war was
declared, and has failed to grant GER
tain powers and enact certain legis-
iatiOn requested by the President
which should have been granted in
order that the presidents war pro-
gram could be made effective.
On the other hand some the criti-
cisms of the chief executive no doubt
was merited. One difficulty is con-
coded to be that the president, as he
has done in the past, personally as
sumes too many responsibilities. Like
Roosevelt, he has about him cabi-
net composed of men of much less
ability than himself. In time of peace
such a policy of Outshining all satel-
lites might work satisfactorily, but in
time of war, as Lincoln learned, cap
able men are Indispensable in order
that all functions of the government
may operate without friction. In a
war like that in which we now are
engaged this rule applies with great
er force than ever.
Probably this is situation which
will correct itself, just as similar sit
nations in European countries have
evolved naturally. In any event the
weak must go, wherever there is
Jack of ability to meet the severe
standards of war. and the men cap
able of measuring up to the eXacting
demands of the times will be in the
seats of authority when the war ends.
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-06-06

THERE is widespread disappoint-
ment that Col. Roosevelt was denied
permission to lead his divisions to
Europe The former President is one
of the few public men in the United
States who foresaw nearly three years
ago that this country would newt
ably be led into the war and who
had the courage to make his convic-
tons known-plus vigorous, but ig-
nored plan for real preparedness. His
divisions would be made up of men
not subject at present to draft and
thus his recruiting efforts would not
interfere with the plans for the first
unit of the regular army under Perish
ing. 1t is certain, however, that the
colonel will manage in some way to
get on the firing line.

MANHOOD FORWARD

Tuesday, June 5, 1917, in the words
Of President Wilson, marked an epoch
in the progress of the country, and
was one of the conspicuous moments
was the day ION which the. manhood
Of the nation stepped forward in one
solid rank for the defense of the
secrated."
In every state in the Union and
also in the Territory of Alaska the
day was legal holiday. 1t was not
declared a holiday out Of spirit of
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-06-06

national rejoicing. The purpose was
altogether different from that. 1t is
not pleasant prospect that We face
in taking up the gage of battle with
the foremost military power the world
has ever known. If there is any re-
joicing over yesterdays display of
national manhood 1t will be found in
the solemn thought that our country
is prepared to make great sacrifices
in order that it may have the right
to trade unmolested in the markets
of the world.
In very few places were there any
disturbances reported yesterday. The
young men between the ages of 81
and 80 responded manfullX to the
Presidents call to arms with the sense
that they are performing a great pat
riotic duty. Consumption. as it is being
applied is not CONSUMPTION in a true
sense of the word, and connotes no
disgrace, but it is a democratic res
ponse to the call to defeat imperial
ism and forever establish world
peace The imperialistic powers we
are arrayed against have ruthlessly
enforced CONSUMPTION for generations,
and we are forced to fight fire with
fire.
The male citizens who were called
forth by their country had no re-
course save to register. The penalty
for being Stacker involves more than
mere fine. Social osracism and bust
ness ruin await any man or body of
men who attempt to override the laws
of the country. The whole power of
the country was behind the move
ment and it was irresistible.
In launching her full force against
the imperial powers of Germany, who
are trying in vain to break the re-
sistance of our allies in Europe it may
be necessary to call for second and
even third and fourth draft, but
whatever the burden placed upon the
lieve they will meet it manfully and
without cavil, realizing that a little
sacrifice at the present time may save
the enslavement of the world in the
future.
Valdez observed the day in fit
ting manner. The best and the brav-
est OF her citizens showed by their
indifference to the rainfall that their
patriotic ardor could not be quench-
ed. In stepping forward to answer
their country's call the young men
OF the country have enrolled their
names with the heroes OF '76 and 81.
Let us hope that their sacrifice will
not be in vain.

TO the whole world, because the stars
in the sky and the beams of light gilt

the vast universe.
If we can bring to our minds a
picture Of the sun rising across the

freedom of humanity. AS at early

the sun advances as it breaks into
banks and streaming lines of color.

on the American flag, stars and beams
of colored light shine out together,
symbolic of the Light of the sun from

the world.
Our Flag carries American ideas of
liberty, the American history of lib
erty, and the American feeling of lib

sacred heraldry, in its glorious in

The American Flag. THE Star

OF liberty Not an atom of crown was
allowed to go into it's insignia. Not
symbol of authority in the ruler was
permitted to go into it. 1t was an ordi-
nance of the people, by the people
and for the people. That it meant,
that it means, and by the blessings
of God. we hope it shall mean to
the end of time.
Following the address by Rev.
linn the band played THE Star

ly encored.
Mayor James Patterson. in short
address introduced Hon. Jos. H. MUIR
ray. orator of the day. Mr.. Murray
took Transcription" for the subject
of his discourse, and his address was
a masterpiece. For about fifteen min
utes he held the large audience SPELL
bound by his eloquence, and at the
conclusion was enthusiastically APP
plauded.
Then came the presentation of the
Flag to the Volunteers. Little Ruth
Donohoe made the presentation, the
flag being accepted by Captain T. G.
Quinn, with a few, well-chosen re-
marks.
The Valdez Band then played sew
eral selections after which the assem-
blage broke up. In the evening a
dance was given in Moose Hall for
the benefit of the band. This organiza-
ton deserves much credit for the
part it took in the exercises yester-
day, their playing being remarkably
harmonious, for an organization of so
short an existence.

Washington, March 2O.-Further steps to protect American lives and property against the warlike operations of the German submar- inc was recommended to take de- finite form as the results of today's Cabinet meeting.
 As the Cabinet convened the sentiment was generally expressed that the United States is virtually in a state of war as has been the case since all official Washington acknowledged that a state of war practically existed between the United States and Germany.
 There is a wide range of specu- lation on the precise action the President contemplates but there is no official ground for any fore cast.

In q strong opinion rendered this morning in the United States Dis trict Court, Judge Robert W. Jen- nings held that the Alaska Austral- ian ballot law is mandatory and that Senator Charles A. Sulzer should receive the certificate of elec- ton as Delegate in Congress from Alaska.
 The court held that the returns from Choggiung, Nushagak, Utica, Deering, Bonnifeld and Vault are void and should be disregarded by the Canvassing Board.
 The result of rejecting these re- turns is to reduce the legal vote for Delegate Wickersham from 6,490, as found by the Canvassing Board, to 6,421, reduction of 69 votes, and to reduce the votes for Sena- tor Sulzer from 6,459, the Canvass ing Boards figures, to GAO, giving Sulzer a plurality of IS votes in- stead of giving Wickersham plu- rality of 31, as the Canvassing Board determined.
 The court room was filled when Judge Jennings entered it from his chambers, and the opinion was lis- tened to with interest and close at- tention. Its delivery required an hour and a half, and every phase of the case was discussed fully. Lawyers who heard the opinion de- livered agreed that it was powerful and the reasoning logical.
 Judge Jennings rendered his opin- ion on a demurrer to the answer of Gov. J. F. A. Strong and Surveyor General Charles E. Davidson, as members of the canvassing board, and sustained the demurrer. He gave the members of the board un- til March % to amend their answer or to present such other pleadings as they may see fit.
 Hellenthal and Hellenthal and Vim and Burton appeared for Senator Sulzer and John RuStgard presented a brief for the other side of the case. The opinion, which is fortified throughout with citations, fully upholds the position of Attor- ney General Geo. B. Grigsby.
