He expects the merchant to provide
the bonus which is to be paid to OBJ
tain a new factory which will benefit
the working man, the clerk and every
body else in the town, and the mer-
chant does it. He expects the mer-

Another Side to Picture.
Now, look on the other side of the
picture. Mr.. Consumer decides that
he needs a new suit of clothes, or
Mrs. Consumer decides that she wants
a new kitchen range, or some of the
little Consumers express a desire for
q train of cars or bCbsled. Mr.. Con
sumner picks up the big mail-Order
catalogue which the mail-order house
has printed with his money or that OF
others like him, and he looks it over
until he finds q picture that strikes his
eve. It's Il picture of a nifty looking
suit of clothes. OF course, he can't
feel the picture to see whether the
cloth is as good as it looks; he can't
look the mail-order man in the eve and
ask him whether he will guarantee it
to wear for at least a month or six
weeks he can't tell the mail-Order man
that he will drop in the first of the
month and settle for it; he can't tell
the mail-Order man that he would like
to have a little of his business or a
chance to do little carpenter work
or painting or plumbing work for him,
as long as he is buying his goods from
him, for the mail-Order man hasn't any
business or any work to give him. But
the picture is pretty one, SO Mr.. Con
sumner digs out his hard-earned cash,
goes down to the postoffice, buys a
money-order and sends it to the mail
order man.
After a week or ten days, or possibly
two weeks, the suit arrives. 1t may
be nothing like the picture. The cloth
may be of poor quality. The chances
are that it doesn't fit at all. But there
is nothing for Mr.. Consumer to do
but put the suit on and wear it. He
can't get his money back. He might
send the suit back and the mail-order
man might send another in it's place,
but the chances are that it wouldn't
be any better than the first and Mr..
Consumer would only be out the addi-
tional express charges.
Found Golden Rule Pays.
Mr.. Consumer found that it pays to
remember the Golden Rule in business.
If he had done unto the merchant as
he would like the merchant to do unto
him, he would have got more for his
money and he would have aided in
making it possible for the merchant to
help him and his town when they
needed help.
The world has discovered that the
Golden Rule is not for use only on
Sundays, but that it is value on every
day Of the week.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

One hundred and nine years ago to-
day, in a humble cabin in the state of
Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln first saw
the light of day. Amid scenes of
poverty and hardship such as are not,
happily, common in these days, the
great soul which was to have such a
marvellous influence upon the coun-
try of whose spirit and ideals he might
be said to be a personification grew
and developed. With no advantages of
education or cultural environment. he
absorbed knowledge and experience
from his wild surroundings which in
later life were to stand both his coun-
try and himself in good stead The
self-taught boy became the lawyer, the
politician, the statesman, and later the
martyr.
In all history there is probably no
record of a life which has more to in
spire the humble and down-trodden
to hopes for the future, and the more
than that of Lincoln Ungainly in
appearance, and homely in speech and
manner, he became the pattern after
which American fathers have en-
deavor for generations past to rear
their sons and to instill in them that
love of knowledge and sense of JUS
tice which we're the distinguishing fea-
lures of this great mans life.
The present is fitting time to pom
der on the work of Lincoln and the
ideals for which he stood and for
which he died. His was indeed the
kind of democracy of which the fathers
of this great republic dreamed when
they reared the fabric of its govern
ment from the wreck of the reyOlu-
tiOn-a man who with charity to-
ward all, with malice to none" could
mete out justice to the humblest slave
with as generous a hand as to the
greatest in the land. His simple,
kindly heart could conceive of no diff.
resTence before the law as between
DIVES and Lazarus.
1t is not difficult to picture the pos
ition of such a man as Lincoln in the
present crisis of this nation. Let us
hope that the men into whose hands
the destinies of this government have
been entrusted will see an inspiration
i'm the life of the great civil war presi-
dent, and attempt to solve the momen-
tous problems before them in the same
spirit of democracy which he would
have brought to the decisions before
them

WHAT ABOUT RUSSIA

1t was with considerable amusement
that we read of the experience of one
of the best informed editors in Ameri-
ca in attempting to write a timely
comment on the Russian situation. He
writes somewhat after the following
fashion: For six weeks now we have
carefully prepared an editorial each
week dealing with the situation as it
existed at the time of writing, only to
find that 1t had become ancient history
by the time we go to press. We nave
tried waiting until just before our
forms close to pen our observations /;
in return for our pains the situation
upsets over there before our publica'
ton is distributed through the mails
God only knows what's going on in
Russian; we don't"
We can attest to experiencing simil
ar perplexities ourselves. The situa
! ton in Russia has been an enigma
one is just about as sure in guessing
how far frog 1t going to jump from
where 1t sits as to venture predic
ton as to what will happen next in the
new republic. Still affairs seem tt

BRYAN's IDEA OF SERVICE.

The Commoner is quoted as saying
recently that there is one thing we
can all do for our country, and that is
to hold our tongues" A splendid sug-
gestion, at that, but does Colonel
Bryan really intend to observe his
own rule? If so, then greater sacrifice
will no man make for his country.
The thought occurs, however, that
the silver-tongued Nebraskan is just
bit inconsistent. Either that, or
else he desires to do all the talking
himself Perhaps what he had in mind
was to simply curb the tongues of the
critics who are making life a misery
for certain officials at Washington.
Most certainly he would not close the
mouths of those who are joining in
the chorus of shouting STAND behind
the President, right or wrong"
One can readily observe that a great
change has come over Mr.. Bryan of
late years. He has become more
charitable of the shortcomings of
those in power, and the jingle of a
disconnected people now CRATES on his
nerves where once it was music to his
ears. Also, he is more careful with
his criticism. What a fix he could
find himself in if he should suddenly
reverse his politics. Or suppose Mr..
Hughes had been elected, and the in
evitable had happened; would the
greatest Democrat of the tribe then
have insisted that the people hold
their tongues?
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-02-12

tributed nothing to the spirit of in
difference said to be prevailing. And
speaking of backing of the Presi-
dent''-e cry that has become a waste
OF words, in view of the magnificent
response that has been made to the
Presidents every request-we wonder
whether it has ever occurred to those
who would still complain OF conditions.
| that the great rank and file of the
American people have as a rule been
ahead of the administration rather
than behind it in all matters incidental
to the war.
1t goes without saying that the
American people were strongly in
favor of preparedness long before the
administration accepted that policy.
The force of public opinion was
against the shipments of cotton to
Germany to be made into ammunition
for warfare against humanity while
the administration was still insisting
upon the right to continue such ship
ments through the medium of the neu-
trail nations adjacent. When the
Lusitania was sunk, the American peo-
pie were ready to go to war to hold
Germany to a "strict accountability"
for that crime, while the administra-
ton simply contented herself with
mr. h inn nh =
that the Presidents declaration that
we were too proud to fight" found
favor with the American people? Also,
if we as a people are little slow get
ting under way, is it not just possible
that our dull sense of honor and duty
as American citizens is due to the
education we received from the admin
istration in a recent campaign when |
the favorite texts some of these same
patriots preached about were Peace
at Any Price," and He Kept Us Out |
of War
Consistency is still a jewel, and
while it is as rare as ever among poll
ticians and public officials-if not
more so-it may be found in abund-
ance in the makeup of the average
American citizen. Were it not for
this, the country might find itself in
sorry straits some day. And it is
because of this consistency, based
upon the prevailing common sense
and charity of the American people,
that the ultimate issue of the war, end
the part we will play in it, is no longer
in doubt. Don't lecture the people
Let them alone. They have long
since demonstrated their capacity for
taking care of Themselves
tuOus politicians and political blather-
sixties notwithstanding.

LET US BE CONSISTENT

One fears at times that some of our
Democratic politicians are, in their
anxiety to preach patriotism to their
fellow citizens, getting the cart con-
stance: In one breath we are sol
EMMY treasured of the popularity OF
the war and in another we are warned
that the people are not keeping pace
with the administration in the prose
cution of its war program. We are
told, also, from time to time, that
one of the chief labors confronting
the administration is that of having to
educate the people up to the necessity
Of waging this war for the safety of
themselves and the salvation of hui
mainly in general This accomplish
ed, then we are assured that a tremen-
dOus obstacle will have been removed
Perhaps so. But why worry about
the attitude of the great American
people? If deeds and declarations are

the administration, then surely they
have been backing up the President
in splendid fashion. This too, in spite
of the fact that much has been done
by those in authority to make the war
decidedly unpopular with the people,
both before and since its declaration
The result follows that the American
people are in no mood to listen &c
pretentious preachments of politicians
and others, who take patriotism fol-
their text and have the gall to as
sumo a holier than thou attitude them
selves, while they proceed to read the
riot act to their fellow citizens.
This disposition is altogether incon
sistent with the facts. Any man con
nected with the administration shoul'
carefully measure his words befor'
undertaking to accuse the American
people of holding back. At least, hi
should first make certain that his Owl
skirts are clean and that he has con
