EASY MADE REPUTATION
It has got so now that if a Deputy Marshal, or
even a police officer wants to make a reputation for
himself, all.he has to do is to keep his eyes open and
gather the whiskey peddlers in. The habit has got
so strong that they seem to forget that other crimes
are being constantly committed, and apparently, they
imagine that other crimes do not concern them. So
it seems anyway.
An old resident of the town said the other day
that there were plenty of men living on. the row, yet.,
the old resident said, “they—the officers—don't seem
to mind them.” This talk should be stopped ,and
the only way to stop it is by an investigation, and
if found true the council should fire every official
and hire men who will not willingly countenence
such a practice. We have laws covering crime. An
(officer’s duty is to see that the intents of the law
are carried out. They are paid for that. The winter
is fast approaching. Let the officers clean the town
of all undesirables that the residents may live in peace
and possession of their property.

HE IS TIRED OF THE WHOLE BUNCH
Not long ago, the city council for the town of
Seward awarded the contract for the city printing to
the Alaska Evening Post, a daily publication of the
town. The next day, the Seward Gateway, also a
daily publication, commenting on the action of the
council said in part:
“The Gateway loses nothing. This paper was
boycotted from the beginning by a couple of the tin
bosses of the council, and purely because of personal
reasons which, on word of honor, had absolutely noth
ing to do with Drinting contracts. To say anything
to the contrary would be a repetition of the chicanery
which has been hinted at before. And—but, let It
go at that. The whole blame thing and the whole
blame bunch isn’t worth talking about. If there I
was time to write something else to fill this space
this editorial would be eliminated right now, after
thinking it over. It is funny how people sometimes
fbt themselves be drawn into cheap, petty mixups T>y
cheap, petty—Aw, let’s cut it out. The Gateway
cuts it out right here and now.”
Evidently the Gateway has trouble of Its own.
We all have. But the best thing to do Is to pay no
attention, not even to snubs from S-O-C-I-E-T-Y.

EDITORIALS
(Tacoma News)
Hite Imus, editor of the Kalama Bulletin for so
many years that the memory of man runneth not,
has decided to have a metropolitan editorial page in
his interesting weekly paper, and • he spreads his de
termination before his readers in these paragraphs:
“Provided our ‘pep’ does not run too low, nor our
bills too high, we shall continue to muss up the white
paper on this page with the mental scintillations and
hallucinations of the editor, sopietimes called ‘editor
ials,’ but which in reality is simply the stuff that the
foreman will not allow on any other page of the
paper.
“We give you fair warning of this, so you can
turn the page without reading it and save the weekly
wear and tear on your nerves.”
He then proceeds to string his quill over two
twinkling columns, the character of which cerptinly
| will not be a disappointment to his readers. There
are a few newspapers that imagine people don't like
; to read editorials. That’s a mistake. Editorials of
1 the right kind are widely read. The newspaper writ
er, however, has to learn that readers are not looking
; for interminable sermons in mummified English. They
want their posology peppered and salted. They
t want frankness and everyday touch. They are not
: going to follow a swell-headed apostle of self-emboss
ed piety. They want to read an editorial column
which seems to be written by a human being who, if
necessary, frankly acknowledges his errors, but who
: hangs to what he believes to be right, like a dog to
| a root.

TAXES AND PRICES
See that party over there? The sad-faced and
I round shouldered man. Well he is the well known
■ citizen, Mr. Consumer, father of several kids. He has
j just been reminded that his taxes were due, or would
| soon be. and that the price of eggs and meat have gone
! up again.

A New York woman was warned by a physician
that her health would be seriously endangered should
she take up her residence, as contemplated, in Florida.
On the other hand, her veteinarian told her that the
health of her pet Pomeranian dog required that he
should be taken to Florida. Naturally, she has gone
to F'orida with her dog. She has a thorough ap
preciation of relative values.
