A GOOD TIME TO PASS UP
CRITICISM

Theodore Roosevelt could natural
ly be expected to display more judg-
ment than he exercised when he
wrote the article which appeared in a
recent issue of the Kansas City Star.
Just at the time when the ears Of
the Nation are strained to hear the
latest news from the fighting front Of
Europe, and every nerve is strained
to the utmost, is mighty poor time
to jump upon the administration and
heap abuse upon it.
Every clear thinking man admits
that in the short time this country has
been at war with Germany the
achievements in the way of meeting
the situation have been marvellous,
yet at the most critical time since the
beginning of the war this man who
should know better is venting his
spite and trying to shake the con-
fidence of the people in their govern
ment.
Possibly he is anxious that the same
thing that has happened in Russia
prevail here. From his statements
we should Judge that such was his
wish.
This is no time to discuss what
should have been done two or three
years ago. Every effort every mo-
ment of time and every thought
should be expended in taking care Of
the present, and such utterances as
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed in the Star
are pro-German.
Mr.. Roosevelt kicks because the
war program has not gone forward
faster, yet it was Mr.. Roosevelt who
held the attention of Congress for
weeks while he was trying to put thru
his program enabling him to go to
France. When, upon advice of the
military authorities, he was denied
the privilege he acted like a spoiled
child. Again he went to Washington
and assisted Senator Chamberlain in
tying up the pressing business of the
war while Secretary Baker was cross
examined by a lot Of fellows who
knew no more about what they were
doing than gang of school boys,
and any one who will take the time
to read the Congressional Record
containing the report of the investi-
cation, instead of the garbled reports
appearing in the newspapers, will
know that Mr.. Baker gave good and
sufficient account of himself.
If some farmer in Western Kansas
would utter statements issued by
Roosevelt his life would be in dan

dug up everything it could to dis
credit him. That paper printed a
sensational story regarding his con-
nections with the packers, but it very
consistently refrained from printing
the results of the hearing-a thing
the Star is noted for. 1t cannot find
anything to use against him and is
now tying up with disgruntled
bunch of machine politicians to beat
him to the nomination.
The Democrat is inclined to be-
leve that it will take more than the
Star and its questionable methods to
beat Thompson. Fact is that the in
fluence of the Star against him is
mighty good campaign material for
the Senator 1t never won fight
because it insists on getting on the
wrong side of every proposition, and
when the Star attacks man the peo-
pie can rest assured that is is for a
selfish motive and that the motive is
not for their benefit.
Senator Thompson has stood with
President Wilson on every question
of Importance. He is one hundred
per cent American, he has been a
credit to the State and Nation, and if
enough crooked newspapers get into
the fight against him, his election
will be assured.

an invasion Of the United States?
Germany can never whip this coun-
try. No, most emphatically, as there
is not man that would not be ready
to go to the front if such calamity
impended. Our money would flow
out as freely as water and every re-
source would at once be put into ser
vice for the government, there would
be no holding back if German SOL
diers were on American soil-that
would bring the war to us.
Why, then, not finance this war
and do all we can to keep it from our
shores? Why hold back and create the
possibility of German invasion with
its devastation and horrors. Better
ten thousand times spend millions
than to have possibility of it.
Buy Liberty Bonds. That is the
easiest thing you can do. Money is
necessary to war; financing is the
simplest proposition we have. Will
you do your share?
1t will be put to you in few days
by one of the committee. Do not
take their time in vainly arguing as
to the details and giving your idea
as to how the war should be run.
Dig up your check book and write a
substantial check and let the soli-
citor go his way. He gets nothing
for his time so do not waste it. Wait
on him promptly and do not make him
spend any more time than is abso-
lutely necessary.

Section al, Ordnance No. 80, of the
Ordinances of the City Of Liberal,
provides that it shall be unlawful for

On account of the unusual conditions

ger. The people would not stand for
it, yet this egotistical specimen had
the gall to copyright the article. No
need of that. Few newspapers would
be un-American enough to reprint it
few would dare do it if they felt like
it.
Roosevelt does not suggest any
thing in his article to better condi-
tons. More than likely he has an
idea that he would like to lead the
people to the light, overthrow the
present government and run things
himself single handed-a sort Of
American Kaiser.
In the meantime the real Ameri-
cans are standing by the government
and helping to fight the pro-Germans
or those who are pro-German in their
utterances.

Unusual Run of Hogs on the Market Causes the New Order to Be
 Effective.
OVER- SUPPLY OF MEAT
The Order Was Made by Federal Food COmmiS- SiOner Hoover
 Yesterday.

All meatless days in the United States and Alaska have been suspend ed for thirty days, according to or ders issued by Food Administrator Herbert Hoover yesterday. The or. der becomes effective today. The or der is suspended on account of the large supply of meat, coupled with the poor storage facilities overseas and the shortage of transportation on the railroads. It is also done to give the people of the United States the advantage of any oversupply of meat with the hopes that greater savings of wheat will be made.
 The order was received this morn ing by Food Administrator R.. A Gunnison in telegram direct from Hoover. The telegram in part said:
 "Meatless days entirely suspended for the next thirty days beginning to- morrow (March 30th) This is due to the unusual run of hogs to the

 The excuse of Maloney's packers that they are trying to dislodge the Democratic machine in Alaska, is not an explanation which will be ac- cepted by the regular Democrats of the Territory It is easier to believe that Maloney and his followers are trying to insure the election of Wickersham by defeating Sulzer in the primaries. Had the self-styled anti-machine Democrats been actuat- ed by a real desire to rid the Terri tory of the so-called machine rule, they would have selected real Dem- ocrat to oppose Sulzer-a man in whom the people have confidence and one with sufficient strength among the voters to insure his cleo tion should he be chosen as the reg ular nominee of the party.

ALL CLOCKS TO BE ADVANCED
 BUT ONE HOUR
lu Order to Avoid Confus- ion Best Plan Is Sim ply to Move the
 Hands Ahead.

There seems to be much confusion and misconception regarding the new time officially set for beginning Sun day morning. All any one need do in order to be on time is simply to set his watch or clock one hour ahead Saturday night before retiring.
 It means that people will get to work one hour earlier in the morn ing and quit one hour earlier in the afternoon.
 The United States cable office here has not received any advices about changing, and unless they advance their time their clocks will show Se- attle time.

others as to the motive for such ac- tion: but at no time a real sensible reason was given. And thus we are left to wonder.s
 It will be remembered that Mir Maloney worked diligently to promote the election of Candidate Sulzer at the last election and incidentally Mir. Maloney was considered one -of the faithful and who often spoke highly of the candidate. But evidently he just simply veered around or woke up or something, and commenced hammering at the props he helped to erect in support of his protege: dis. crediting him in every possible way, and without an explanation so far as we have been able to ascertain.
 Whenever a politician changes his brand, it is customary to give req son. Be that reason ever so flimsy. | reason is better than none at all man of Mir.

market, the car shortafe, if1isea storage capacity overseas saad Aaili ed transportation and pors facilities It is hoped that the large snpp2 ol potatoes and milk and the temporary removal of the meat restrictions will result in enlarging the savings Of breadstuffs.

 In other words the United 1tates at the present time has an over supply of meat for home consumption and as the transportation and stor- age facilities are too limited to al low the exportation of the surplus, the American people are given chance to benefit by the oversupply; They will he allowed to use meat at every meal and on every day as heretofore, if they desire, and in re turn will be expected to make great CT efforts to save the wheat flour.

About the Governor

If Alaskans could only convince
 Washington that the fight against Gov. J. F. A. Strong is not "be
 tween rival Democratic parties," as the Republican papers of the Terri
 tory continually seek to impress up
 on the people outside, but a clean cut war on the Republican leanings of the Governor, the work of busting him would have been much easier
 Since the Governor took off his coat and joined in the fight against the regular Democratic ticket put up by the Democrats of Alaska, and since the Governor has again inaugurated campaign for Republicans the reg ular Democratic organization has ceased to recognize him as a Demo crat. A man cannot serve two mast CTS, and his allegiance belongs to the party who placed him in power, regardless of his private opinions The Territorial committee is not a political ring, but are the legally constituted representatives of the Democratic party in Alaska. If the administration can get this fact borne home upon it's ivory upper works Alaska politics will be much cleaner and more effective. The Governor has never shown by his ap- pointments that he is a Democrat, and has never endorsed anything the Democratic party has stood for in the Territory. Until he does so it can hardly be said to be faction fight. ."-(Valdez Prospector)
