RIGHT HAS TRIUMIPHED

Right has triumphed. Autocracy
new era, an era in which justice, not
force, will reign. We are witnessing
the rebirth of freedom for all races.
The overthrow of imperial tyrants
must not, however, be followed by
efforts to enthrone another type of
tyrants heretofore at the other end
of the social scale. The world must
be on guard against the spirit of
Bolshevism. Even in the United
States there have been unpleasant
symptoms. Certain labor leaders
have attempted to gain arbitrary
powers and to exercise them with
out due regard for the general veal.
The balance must be held even.
Democracy is about to be put on
trial. Shall we measure up to our
glorious opportunities and our grave
responsibilities?
On the United States of America
rests special responsibility. To us
the whole Notwithstanding
looks for leadership for example, for
assistance, for fatherliness, even.
We have become the Big Brother
of democracy We are rich and pow
erful beyond any other nation on
earth. We alone of great nations
have the foodstuffs, the implements,
the machinery, the merchandise, the
money necessary for the rehabilita-
ton of the war-stricken lands and
races.
Shall we show unselfishness, mag
nanimity, brotherliness as we'll Us
craftsmanship?
Shall our hearts and heads earn
lastingly the esteem, the affection in
which we ere now held?
The task will not be easy. 1T
will call for all our prudence, all our
wisdom, all our self-restraint, not
less than our generosity.
We must not disappoint the order
ly, law-abiding people and nations
who compose the backbone of man
kind and of civilization. Forbes

THE RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
ROLL CALL

Our boys overseas closed their
fighting operations in blaze of
glory. 1t remains for the people in
this country to close their humani-
tartan war work in like fashion. The
opportunity is afforded by the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call which is
set for the week of December E to
23 inclusive. During that period it
is hoped to enroll practically every
man and woman in the United States
as members of the Red Cross. Our
fighting men have given an impress
sive demonstration of the might of
this nation; the rest of us should
give an equally impressive proof of
it's humanity.
While the actual fighting is over
there still remains tremendous
work for the Red Cross to do. 1t
must look after the comfort and well
fare of our soldiers and sailors until
they have been mustered out of the
service and returned to their homes.
1t must bind up the wounds and min
lister to the needs of the suffering
nations which have been ravaged by
war and are now facing cold and hun
ger. 1t must care for hundreds of
thousands of orphGn children and
homeless refugees, until some pro-
vision for their support can be
worked out by their own govern
ments. 1t must make the name
United States, a synonym for mercy
and generosity to the peoples OF
Europe.
1t is privilege as we'll as a duty
to join in this great ard noble work
ard we can prove that we so regard
it by enrolling as members of the
Red Cross for another year. The
annual fee of one dollar will help Il
meet the heavy expenses, but large
membership means more than money
because 1t will be the measure of the
desire and determination of Americ;
to play the part of the good Samari
tan to the bleeding nations of tn,
world.
AS the uniform is the proof of Low,
OF country and of loyal service in it
defense, so the Red Cross button /
the badge of love of humanity and o
good viii toward all mankind.

DORIAN BAKER IS
 EPIDEMIC VICTIM
Popular Young Fairbanks Printer Succumbs to Epidemic at
 Camp Lewis, Washington.

A phone message from Fairbanks this afternoon contained the sad 1 intelligence of the death of young Dorman Baker, at Camp Lewis, near Seattle. His death occurred this morning, the result of an attack of Spanish influenza being the cause.
 Dorman was a real sourdough, being brought North by his parents when he was very young in the early days of the Klondike rush. He was practically raised in Fair banks, where he got his education, and where he is widely known and liked by all who knew him.
 Before his induction into the service of his country, he was em- ployed as linotype operator with the Alaska Citizen, and had intended coming back North as soon as he was released by the army authori- ties.
 Dorm, as he was affectionately known by many, was the possessor of bright and cheerful disposition and was ever obliging and court eous, qualities that endeared him to host of people of both sexes, who will be grieved to hear of his death.
 He left Fairbanks with the last contingent of Alaska registrants, and was only 23 years old when he passed away.
 He is survived by his parents MT, and Mrs. Roy Furguson, of Fairbanks, little sister, and his brother Forbes, who is machinists in the navy, being attached to the Pacific fleet.

MAIL MAKES TOWN
 AFTER LONG DELAY

Roy Lund, with nearly 200 pounds of mail for Nenana, arrived at the quarantine camp at 1 20 this after noon. He was delayed very con siderably owing to the windfalls along the route, especially from the Ohio roadhouse to Dunbars.
 The mail was brought into Ne mana by Dutch Blankfield, who went out after it, taking the Nenana mail consigned to Fairbanks and beyond, which was transferred to Lund.
 Roy Lund will probably leave the quarantine camp tomorrow morning on his return journey.

MESOPOTAMIA LANDS
 YIELD BOUNTEOUS CROPS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Despite the fact that war has been raging throughout Mesopotamia and that many of the inhabitants abandoned their homes and holdings, the soil of that region has been made to add large share to the worlds production of foodstuffs for 1918.
 A report from Consul Oscar S. Heizer at Bagdad tells of record crops in many parts of the land of the Caliphs. The British army au- thorities are given credit for much of this production. As a result, it is estimated there will be a surplus of 12O,O00 tons of barley and wheat after supplying the needs of the civil inhabitants.

To the Southern Farmer.

The following suggestion is from the
office OF Extension Work in the South
United States Department of Agri-
culture:
This nation must feed its OWN civil
population must maintain an army
and Navy, and must help feed Eng
land. France and Italy. 4 hungry peo-
pie cannot fight. The Surest way to
lose the war is for us to so plan our
work III this country as to leave those
who are fighting our battles i'll Eng
land, i'auce and Italy to go hungry this
year The excess food of the United
States sill lie called upon heavily for
these Uses. Will the South deliberately
decide 10 reduce its food production
and therefore to call more heavily
upon SUPPLIES from the North. to take
from the supplies that ought to 20
abroad, and also to place an extra lur-
den u!an transportation to move food
to the South! No patriotic man will
delil erately decide to bring about such
Il result. The South must feed itself as
the greatest contribution toward the
winning of the war.
