In peerless grace, his future bride:

A fIlet vainly strove to hold:
Beneath her hair eyes calmly true
Returned the sky's unfathomed hue.

A goddess claims a reverence rare.

In silence stood. or II she talked.

The filing of exemptions by the

The filing of exemptions by the
young men in the selective draft
is not an indication of lack of
courage to go out to do battle,
nor a lack of loyalty to country,
but it is the promptings of his
ambitions which hate to give up
a good paying job and enlist as a
soldier for $50 month. He has
been born and raised in a genera
ton of peace, where the shib-
boleth was to accumulate money,
and it seems a sacrifice of op-
portunityfor him to give two or
three years of his time as a SOL
dier. For a generation the Unit
ed States has been money mad,
and no thought was given to
church, state or humanity, and
such an environment is not one
to produce soldiers in time of
war.

Women Are Eager to Serve.

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, wife
of the president of the National
City Bank in New York, has
been extremely active in war re-
lief work, both as a worker her.
self and as a director of the thou
sand and one new occupations
open to women at this time.
Writing in the September is
sue of Harper's Bazaar, now
ready, Mrs. Vanderlip makes this
statement: Women are eager
to serve. They have always
served at home. Now our gov
ernment needs their work out
side their homes. They will be
ready for every sacrifice. l be-
lieve that the idea of democracy
with it's promise of opportunity
for every child, is a clear and
definite belief in the minds Of
women, and that we are ready
to give to our utmost to create a
world democracy"
Among the great things done
by women thus far, Mrs. Van
derlip mentions the develop
ment of the Red Cross, the in
crease and conservation of the
food supply, the taking of the
military census of resources, and
helping to raise our recent Lib
erty Loan.

Proclamation of Labor Day.
Executive Department
State of Arizona.

OldL0 vi Arizona.
Following the custom which
sets aside the first Monday of
each September, as a day upon
which Labor may be commemo-
rated by means of parades, meet
ings, festivals and other mani
festations of respect and honor
to it's dignity and accomplish
ments for the benefit and ad-
vancement of mankind:
|, Thomas E. Campbell, Cover
nor of Arizona, under the authori-
ty in me thus reposed, do hereby
declare and proclaim as a legal
holiday, Monday, September the
third, nineteen seventeen, to be
duly celebrated as aforetime.
In this most critical hour in the
history of the United States and
the civilized world, the hopes
'and fears of humanity center in
eyitably upon the attitude of the
forces of Labor toward the
achievement of that highest
standard of efficiency, without
which Victory is impossible.
Therefore, this Day affords a
most fitting and timely opportuni-
ty to take stock of the resources
of brain and hand, to con-
slider unselfishly how best we can
substantially evidence our un-
failing support to those who will,
at that very time, be mobilized
to do battle for those principles
of Liberty, equality, and frater-
nifty which have blessed Ameri-
can Labor and borne it upward
to it's present mighty status.
Arizona's responsibility to do
her part in the present exigency
lies equally upon every member
of our citizenship. Shall we not
bury such differences as modest
our present industrial progress,
upon which so vitally depends the
success of the conflict, straining
our every nerve and sinew, with
out thought of self, profit or
propaganda, until we shall have
won that to which we strive
worldwide democracy.
In witness whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caus-
ed the GreatsSeal of the State of
Arizona to be affixed.
Done at Phoenix, the Capital,
this 9th day of August, A. D. ,
1917.

Governor of Arizona.
Attest: SIDNEY P. OSBORN,
Secretary of State.

Congressman Carl Hayden ad-

Congressman Carl Hayden ad-
dressed a hot letter to the Secre-
tary of War, few days ago, on
the unfair quota for soldiers re-
quired from Arizona under the
selective draft, and the equally
unfair apportionment of men to
the reserve officers training
camps. He calls the Secretary's
attention to the selective draft
act wherein it says the popula-
tion shall be the basis for deter
mining the quotas, and no men
tion is made of an estimated pop
ulation. Hayden gets under the
Secretary's hide once more by
asking why the estimated popu-
lation of 1915 was used as the
basis of assignments to the Of
ficers' training camps, and an
other and different estimate of
population was used in drafting
for soldiers. Then he shows up
the injustice to Arizona, where
in under the 1915 estimated pop
ulation New Mexico was given
83 men for the training camps
while Arizona was given only 81;
and when they got ready to draw
soldiers they made a new esti-
mate of population, increasing
Arizona over so per cent, and
reducing New Mexico Is per cent.
upon which basis Arizona has to
furnish 4478 men and New Mex
leo gets off with 1856. We are
glad Mr.. Hayden has woke up
even though it is too late to right
our wrongs, and his peppery let
ter may stir him to greater activ-
ity hereafter in protecting the
interests of the state. The ease
with which New Mexico grabbed
more than her equitable proper
tion of the training camp assign
ments, and lodged her full re-
sponsibility in furnishing SOL
diers by Juggling the population
estimates is probably due to the
keen activity of her senators,
Fall and Jones, whose interest is
centered in their state; while one
of Arizona's senators loves to
talk to the senate gallery. shake
his raven locks, and attune his
ear for the applause, and the
other senator puts in his time
maudling over his cups, awaiting
summons by the party whip to
appear on the senate floor to cast
his vote. With a brace of such
representatives Arizona can ex-
pect just. such results as she is
getting. We can imagine an
astute fellow like Senator Jones
hiring the rabble to fill the SEN
ate gallery and furnish applause,
and start the Arizona orator to
talking about this grand and
glorious country of ours, and
then slip out quietly to grab off
the draft grapes for New Mexi-
co. Still. there are people in the
state who think our Henry holds
in his lily-white hands the desti-
ny of Arizona. However, we
would prefer Geo. w. P. Hunt
with his blunt, unpublished style
for results that count.

Washington, March 7-Postmas- ter General Burleson announced to- day that after the first of next month, April, all postmasters of tho first, second and htird class in the United States and its posses sious will be appointed by competi- tive examination. Alter such com petitive examinations the President will submit to the Senate the names at the head of the list of the can didates who went through the ex- aminaticns instead of appointing as heretofore men for party services, All the present postmasters now in office in the classes named will bs allowed to serve out their four year terms but they will have to take the examination like all oth- CT candidates if they want reap pointment. Many Democratic mem bers of Congress denounce the plan and a hot fight is looked for when the question is discussed.

MARROW ESCAPE
 FUR KETCH|kAN

The distress call of the sawmill whistle about ten thirty last even ing, says the Ketchikan Miner for March 6, was the signal for a gen eral turn out led by the ever alert fire department. The fire alarm called for help at the sawmill and as it was early, everybody turned out to witness the blaze coming out Of the machine shop room adjoining the engine room of the Ketchikan Power Company's sawmill. The boys who compose the fire depart ment, apparently know their busi- ness as in less than it takes to tell it they were deep in the midst of the trouble fighting, not only to save the company's property, but the town property as well, for {, had the fire been allowed a little headway, nothing could have saved any part of the business section of the town. The boys got control of the destructive element, and the company is to be congratulated for the comparative small loss sustain ed. Due entirely to the efficiency of the fire department and the splendid water system. Ketchikan may well be proud of its fighting facilities.
 Fire Chief Stackpole, when asked as to the cause of the fire, said that he had not been able to as certain thus far. However, the sawmill crew were called to thier wcrk this morning as though mo- thing had happened.
 Damage to the plant is estimated to be between seven and eight hun dred dollars, covered by insurance.

HE PUBLIC SPIRIT

The past two years have brought mere "DIg" news of national con- cern than any since the civil war; and in this period the past month and the past two weeks have brought to public notice matters Ot increasing importance, yet the pub }.", as a whole, has betrayed only 8 Iassing interest. Whether citizens have become callous to crisis by their multiplicity, or the national sui-5f be lacking, is a matter for conjecture. Possibly there are man w.9 feel that we have negotiated so u.aly crises successfully that the sense of national peril is lost. At aIv rate the public, as a body, re- ce:yes "hig" news quietly, absorbs it with interest and goes on about its common concerns without any evidence of excitement.
 Here and there, among exchanges We find citizens about the country discussing and formulating conclu s.oas in the following projects.
 The Installation and beautiffca- ten Of a dog cemetery; the enlarge mgur Of local geological gardens by The addition of many strange and "aGsUaI wild animals; the licens- ing Of cats and the boiling of the same during the bird season; a dis pUsston between pOultrymen as to tae besi variety of hens for egg Ny.ug purposes; q new propaganda hy l Chicago doctor, setting forth 60 systematic procedure for living, with a minimum of labor, on a diet Of fruits, nuts. herbs, raw grain and unccoked foods; the approval O. various ordinances, in q dozen lo- CaIitics, for the suppression of cows that now run at large. These arc not topics suggested by news papers, but by citizens who write letters to newspapers suggesting what they conceive to be matters Of public interest at this time,
 No doubt, when occasion demands tEc national spirit will respond to Americas needs. Just now the rubhc mind is in a twilight zone between an idle and an active in terCsr in the national concerns.- Seattle P.-I.

they had not then discovered its real wealth In the third beach line. Such examples could be enumerated as often as there are towns in this northern land. Our neighbor Skag- way has probably a better future than 1t seemed to have ten years ago, And while talking of Skagway 1t occurs that the only exception to rule would be 8 place like the classic White Pass City, which flourished for a few months while the railroad was in course of construction, but which could be called nothing more than tenn porary settlement at any time.
 What is proven by all this is the cid fact that people will find resources anywhere. The govern ment really made a mistake in warning crowds of people from .ccming to Alaska when the railroad construction began. Lots of them Of coure, would go broke wherever they were but they would eventually find a means Of making a living. This city like all the rest of them only had its chief resources dis covered when people came for some thing else, and the same is true of all Of them-Juneau Dispatch.
