I am not now proposing or contemplate

to it.

Il merely request that you will ac

right of a great people who are at
peace and who are DESTROYS Of exer

to follow the pursuit of peace in quiet
ness and good will-rights recognized

nations of the world. No course of
my choosing or of theirs will lead to

not of material interest merely tina
we are thinking. 1t is rather of funda

only of the rights of Americans to gt

by way of the sea but also of some
thing much deeper, much more funda

II am thinking of those rights o
humanity without which there is NJ
civilization.
My theme is of those great prin

which mankind has sought to thros
about human lives, the lives of non
combatants, the lives of men who ar
peacefully at work keeping the in

WASHINGTON's POSTER
 USED FOR RECRUITING

CHICAGO, March 26.-A reproduc- ton of the poster used by George Washington in raising the continental army of 1776 is contained in a new army recruiting poster which made It's appearance on the streets today. Capt E. R. Kenney, in charge of army recruiting in Chicago, laid out the poster several weeks ago and authori- ties at Washington approved it before it was printed.
 Army officers say it is the most inn ,ressive recruiting poster issued by he government. It Is headed, 'The Father of His Country Appealed for Soldiers as Follows" Below this is the reproduction of the poster used y Washington. and beneath this are he addresses of the local recruiting stations. In the center are number of revolutionary soldiers in various military positions and a number of he various army commanders.

DON'T START ANYTHING.

Tuesday, April 3. is the city cleo will be elected and two members of the School Board, provided Dr. Boyle sends in his resignation or action on his absence is taken by the Board. Up to the present time no candidates have come forward for the offices It is true that a few caucuses among the Wickersham remnant have taken place. and every effort vii! be made to start the annual scrap so dear to their hearts.
 But our citizens should bear in mind the fact that there should be no contest. In fact, it would be better to call mass meeting and leave the old officials in another year and save expense, than to start an ill-advised contest in a town which has been torn asunder so often that there is but lit tie of it left.
 Our council should not be Sulzer council nor a Wickersham council, nor a Democratic or Republican council. but a VALDEZ council. With it's first and only thought for the uplift of the city.
 Wickersham is dead-he should be forgotten by all who have the good of the city at heart. Sulzer has been elected and has departed for Wash ington. He should also be forgotten. Bend your whole energies to the up building of the town. Let your every thought be to placate instead of dis turb.
 When man who has an axe to grind tries to buttonhole you and pull you off in a corner for the purpose of securing your help to start something tell him you are for Valdez and send him about his business-which you can safely wager is being neglected
 While the present council may or may not have suited every one, it is better to refrain from criticism and give them a chance to make good. They are all loyal fellows, and have the good of the city at heart probably as much as yourself.

ION TO BERLIN!"

All those editors who are clamor- ing for war with EurOpc--iet's see, counting 'em over and surveying their past deeds of valor on the field, in the political bullring ard in the goosc-quill circle, we find that they were most sanguine in their demand for a quick march on Mexico City. and they were also first to begin printing all sorts of silly complaints from the mollycoddle militia on the border that hot water bags were not supplied, and that the whole army movement was failure.
 Ever has it been so. Scratch jim go and find blowhard or coward, never a true patriot with stay-put stuff in his spine.
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-03-26

The hysterical New York editors
 (who by the way are still hystericaD who clamored "On to Richmond" were the first to declare the war a failure and to seek the destruction of Abraham Lincoln. Slavery would never have been abolished nor the Union saved had the country listened to the Atlantic coast neurotics who had so important part in bringing on the conflict.
 The same sometimes and most al- ways un-American press was the first to scream, "On to Havana" and it was first to begin the bitterest criti- cism of method and the first and worst in stirring up animosities in the army and among the army and navy leaders of that time. What scandal it all became-and in the main all superimposed upon foun- dation of trash.
 More manhood sometimes is ncces- sary to keep a man out of fist fight than to enter one. It is just as true of the nation. Every shrieking syllable for war should be prayer for peace.
 Nevertheless, every act of the prospective enemy should be the req son for redoubling preparedness ac- tivity. The nation stands in need of more action and fewer loud words. Mounting rhetoricians would force us into war before we have real reason and before we are ready. Armchair constructionists of international law who find insults in every Atlantic comber and who demand instant re- dress will fight until the last bounty server is dead.
 This beloved America of ours Is not prepared for war, cannot be prepar- ed for actual conflict on anything like the European scale for many months, and every demagogic or minimizing expression in favor of immediate en- trance is, in it's full effect, species of treason, for it is intended to mislead the governmental forces into danger.
 War should not come until public sentiment is stirred to its depths, not merely curried by ammunition inter ests. The nations profoundest moral nature is yet to be touched; until it is touched the present modest pre- ponderance of opinion for war will not be sufficient to overcome the fac tionalism that is certain to break out among us.
 It is not an outside enemy that the United States fears. A nation like ours if it is united, can stand victory or defeat. And, as history so well shows, defeat in war is not of great conseuuence. Defeat is no certain re- fiection of justice. No, what the Uni ted States has to fear is schism at home. and nothing can eliminate that danger except a perfectly clear, deep " moral issue, cluttered with none (, the technicalities of doubtful interna tional law, and stripped of the last yestige of the idea that our battle must be fought actually in behalf of an enemy guilty of the same offenses, but in a less degree, as the enemy whom we must fight.-Tacoma News.

IN THE INDIAN SUMMER.

SOMEWHERE in the Indian summer is 0 the place 1 want to be. Where the dreams steal through the still ness and say sweetheart things to me !; When the hills and wales are dreaming and the gold leaves round you throng. And the toiling days forget you where you're laying along. SOMEWHERE in the Indian summer, C where no stormy chorus swells, Where from o'er the stilly meadows comes the tinkling of soft bells, And the world that's all around you 10 dream beneath the blue, And that world with all its beauty. is the world heaven dreamed for you!
