sort, whether they are handling foodstufs
or our raw materials of manufacture or the pro-
ducts of our mills and factories: The eyes of
the country will be especially upon you. This
is your opportunity for signal service, efficient
and disnterested. The country expects you, as
it expects others. to forego unusual profits, to
organize and expedite shipments of supplies of
every kind, but especially of food, with an eye
to the service you rendering and in the
ranks, for their people not for themselves,
shall confidently expect you to deserve and win
the confidence of people of every sort and sta

Rairoaders Asked to Aid
ITO the men who run the railways of the coun-
try. whether they be managers operative en-
ployes, let say that the railroads are the
arteries of the nations life and that upon them
rests the immense responsibility of seeing to 1t
that these arteries suffer no obstruction of any
kind, inefficient slackened power.
MOttos Suggested
ITO the merchant let me suggest the motto
Small profits and quick service and to the
ship builder the thought that life of the war de-
pends upon him. The food and the war sup
plies must be carried across the no matter
how many ships sent to the bottom. The
places of those that go down must be supplied
at once To the miner, let me say that he

tho world waits on him. If he slackens or fails,
mics and statesmen helpless. lie also Is
enlisted in the great service army. The manu-
facturer does not need to be told, hope, that
the nation looks to him to speed and perfect ev-
cry process; and want only to remind his en-
ployes that their services are absolutely indis-
pensable and commented upon by every man
who loves the country and its liberties.
Gardens VIII Help
Let me suggest also that everyone who cre-
ates or cultivates garden helps and helps
greatly to solve the problem of the feeding of
the nations; and that every housewife who prac-
tices strict economy puts herself in the ranks
of those who serve the nation. This is the time
for America to correct her Unpazdonab fault
of wastefulness and extravaganza. Let every
man and woman assume the duty of careful.
provident use and expenditure as a public duty
as dictate of patriotism which no one can now
expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ig-
noring.

Asks Cooperation Editors

I'm the hope that this statement of the needs
of the nation and of the world in this hour of
supreme crisis may stimulate those to whom it
comes and remind all who need reminder of the
solemn duties of a time such the world has
never seen before, beg that all editors and
publishers everywhere will give as prominent
publication and wide circulation as possible
to this appeal venture to suggest also to all
advertising agencies that they would perhaps
render very substantial and timely service to
the country II they would give 1t widespread
repetition. And l hope that clergymen will not
think the theme of 1t an unworthy and inap-
propriate subject of comment and homily from
their pulpits.

criticism ot certain local federal of fieials does not indicate that Alaskans are unpat-iotic. IL rather shows that they are better citizens, because they will no, stand for the chicanery and corruption of petty federal officials.

 So many attempts have been made by the prosecution and the marshars office 10 seemingly railroad political and personal enemies that the people Of this district have lost confidence. not in the government. but in these un- worthy federal officials who are sbus- ing their power. And the people Of Alaska do not hold -he government at Washington responsible for these scouadrels either.

good. AS general proposition conn
mittees and commissions are appoint.
ed to investigate costs, are paid liberal
salaries, huge expense accounts, vol
pmes OF proof and findings are printed
and never read and conditions remain
unchanged.
Threats of prosecution for violation
OF the criminal laws seem to have
worked change in the heart Of the
paper trust and the almost impov-
erished newspaper publishers Of the
country are to get early and at least a
partial relief. The burden for the
past year has been heavy one, espe
'cially to the smaller newspapers
which aFs seldom able to accumulate
any considerable surplus to meet
