 Your Flag stands for humanity, for equal op- portuny to all the sons of men. Of haven't arrived yet at that goal; there many niustices yet among us; many senseless and cruel customs of the past still cingng to us but the only hope of right our bosoms by the sight of that flag
 Other flags mean glorious past; our Flag glor- ous future. It is not much the flag of fathers as it is the Flag of children, and of chdrens of the Good Times Coming" It is not the Flag of your king but the flag of yourself and of all your neighbors
 Don't be ashamed when your throat chokes and the tears it flying from the mast of ship in the bay of Gibraltar the port Singapore You will never have worthier emotion.
 That Flag is the cream off all religions. the con centrated essence of the best impulses of human race reverence it you would reverence the sigma ture of the Deity.
 By hundreds and by thousands the wreched vic tms of old-world caste streaming westward, seek ing here the thing the Flag stands for-opporunity and equal rights,
 It stands for the quick against the dead the youth of the world against its senilty.
 It stands for the open door of ambition against the closed door of caste
 It stands for the stability of vigorous growth against the fxedness of hoary institutions
 It waves defiance at all ghosts, they that have for long intmidated men; the ghost of monarchy ghost of arstocracy, the ghost of war, ghost of serdom and slavery; all they that lay shadowy hands upon the life of Europe and Asia

THE INDIAN CAVALRY

The recruiting of Indians in Canada for service in Europe, announced months ago. was criticised on the ground that this is white mans fight into which it seemed hardly fair to drag the remnant of the red race in America. No such objection has been made to Representative Kahns bill draft or more regiments Of Indian cavalry for the United States army, to be used the Mexican border when regular army regiments withdrawn
 It is stated in support of MT. Kahns bill that the American Indians perform military service not on ly with excellent ability but also with "a degree enthusiasm seldom found in other peoples"
 American history amply attests the enthusiasm of the Indian for warfare His adaptabity for the service of the Southwest border hardly be doubted Mexico is largely populated by Indians It is stated that the Yaqus of Northern Mexico in comnlunca tfon with the American Indians and that the moral effect of the institution of Indian regiments good The Yaqus would be inclined peacaably toward fheIr cousins this side of the border If should not prove true the American Indians would fc sa valuable border patrol

Frankly The Empire does not agree with those Democratic authorities which trying prove that Gov. Strong has never been Democrat He has fol lowed Democratic leadership from afar at times and he has bolted other times but have many others who good Democrats and good democrats. Pres dent Wilson boted Bryan and then became his admirer The question in Alaska is that the Governor is altogether of harmony with Northern Democratic leadership and Democratic thought and there is apparently little hope that there would be the necessary harmony and of action that is needed for the best results if he should remain in of flee Gov Strong-Major Strong then-was a Demo crat in Alaska during the lean years that preceded Wilson and The Empire has quarrel with him on that
 It is not question of the personal political pref of Gov. Strong half much it is a question of the Governor of Alaska doing team work with the Delegate to Congress and the Democratic party of the Territory Delegate Sulzer and Democratic party of Alaska anxious to work for Alaska and it is necessary that there be in the high places who will work with them and try nulify efforts, or undermine them. Until there is harmony among those guard and work the victory that was for progress last fall is only halfvictory

(Valdez Prospector)

The Hoquiam paper conducted by Representative Albert Johnson of Washington is out ill lengthy de- fense of Judge Wickersham for Delegate and among causes attributed to his defeat is the fact that much money sent into the Territory by the uuor inter- ests which used to defeat Wickersham The Eo quiam paper states that Wickersham was the choice or the people and that he has wrongfully had the delegaeship taken away from him Which goes to show how smart man may be in his balliwick ana show his ignorance when he gets away home Thefact Of the matter is that the people wanted a change they were tired of oneman rule they were Willing to try something new If the Washington Con- gressnan desires to ascertain the wishes the people and can pursuade his Tacoma confrere to run again we will show him how little he knows wishes of the people of Alaska.

hands of w. H. Russell for a

DOUBLE LIVES IN WAR TIME

One unexpected result of New York
States military census has been the
uncovering of men leading dual lives.
Scores of such citizens are said to
have been found in New York City.
The National registration is doubles
revealing similar cases in many CON-
munities.
The men who have been maintain
ing two domestic establishments are
in a serious dilemma. They have
got to register. Inasmuch as every
householder is being checked up BY
the police to make sure that none
escape. it seems incumbent on the
double-family men to register twice.
Most of them are pleading to be al
lowed to do so. registering once I'm.
der assumed names. in order to es
cape detection. And some of them
want to know whether they'll II be liable
twice for military service.

is famous for his regret that he had
but one life to give his country"
These modern patriots have the adj
vatage of him. And it might be only
just, from a moral viewpoint. to hold
them to it. Why shouldn't a man
leading a double life give both lives
to his country.
