GOOD RADIANCE

The other day a man left the com jority of the people of Fairbanks were glad to see take his departure. We refer to the self-asserted citizen of Norway who repudiated his declara- tion for citizenship in this country in order to get out of military service. There may be eXtenuating circum- stances. but it seems impossible that there could be any that would warrant such an action.
 This person. after declaring his in tenti0n Of becoming a citizen of the United States. now is willing to for felt any and all claims he may ever have to that citizenship rather than be drafted into service in defense of the country whose benefits he has en- joyed for some time. He received his first papers, but considers this country only good enough to live in, not good enough to fight for. It is well that he felt moved to come out and take this stand. for if ever there was any class of men that would make undesirable citizens he is one of them. He has left tn" country. and we are glad of it We only hope that his record goes with him and that wherever he may take up his abode. if it be In this country, his measure of patriot ism and regard for duty will be known.
 It may be possible to ship him back to the country from which he came, and behind whose skirts he is hiding now. if she will have him. Well and good There is no room in this land of the free for anyone who is such q slave to consideration for his own personal safety We say good rid dance, and we feel that the sentiment of the community is voiced by that term Fairbanks Citizen.

At the same time. it's safe to say that never has Miss Bara appeared in more alluring and appealing role than that of the dancing girl. Watch for this big attraction.
