THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.
As reluctant as some of us may be
to acknowledge it, we might as well
frankly admit the fact that our neigh
boring town of Seward can no longer
be placed in the catagory of friends
of Anchorage. On the contrary the
undisguised effort on the part of the
newspapers of that town, and we as
sume that they very largely represent
pubiic opinion there, to discredit the
harborage ia^,..nes at Anchorage by
magnifying the ice conditions in
Knik arm serve to convince the most
reluctant of us that there is a deep
design on the part of Seward to seek
to injure and malign this town.
And the harbor facilities is not the
only subject that is discussed with
evident glee with respect to Anchor
age, which one of the newspapers de
clares to be a government pet, or
words to that effect. In the matter
of bootlegging in Anchorage, the
Seward papers make much more out
of this unimportant incideat in local
affairs than any „.0.*iiuace news-garn
ering warrants. There has been
bootlegging in Anchorage. For this
infraction of uit. mw t:.,out twenty
persons found guilty have paid a
heavy penalty. But liquor is not eas
ily procurable in this town, because
the editor of this newspaper sought
to beg, borrow, or steal enough to
make some mincemeat for the holi
days, but without avail, hence the
mincemeat will be minus a very im
portant element in its concoction.
The parting of the ways as be
tween Anchorage and Seward has
come, through none of ‘our seeking.
This town much prefers to live at
peace and harmony with all neigh
boring towns, but we would not be
human if we did not resent the cal
umny and obliquy almost continually
heaped upon us by the Seward news
papers.
Seward cannot afford to wilfully
lose the respect and friendship of fast
growing towns in this part of Alas
ka. Indeed, the broad gauge policy
for Seward to pursue—and the policy
that would mean dollars to it—
would be to lend every encourage
ment to these new commercial cen
ters.
But if Seward prefers to take the
narrow way, and insist on quarrel
ing and fighting, by all means let us
accommodate her.-—Anchorage Pio
neer.
BOOSTING.
Help your town along by boosting!
Wear a bright and hopeful face. Do
not be forever roosting somewhere
near the wailing place. You can’t help
your town by knocking, if it’s in. a
backward groove, but some opitimis
tic talking does a lot to help things
.move. In the mud one town was
sticking, evidently anchored therei,
for her people all were kicking, all
were dishing up despair. All were
groaning o’er their taxes, shedding
tear drops ip a stream, all had ham
mers, clubs and axes ready for each
helpful scheme. So the village sat
and rotted till a booster landed there;
soon the trouble’s seat he spotted.
saw the fungus in the air, and he
Jarred the village croakers, stirred
them up to hump along, till the place
was full of Jokers and the breeze was
full of song. Citizens forsook the
habit of bewailing this and that, and
the timid business rabbit hustled like
a tiger cat, and they all turned in ker
whooping, singing forth the ham
let’s praise, and that hamlet, lately
drooping, filled its neighbors with
amaze. Now, this story, true as
preaching, shows what one lone man
can do, if instead of doleful screech
ing, he yells “cockadoodledoo!” For
you stimulate your neighbors every
time you give three cheers, and the
harvest of your labors will be reaped
in coming years.—Walt Mason.

Democratic Committee Names May 24
as Date for Nominating Can
didates to Represent Party.
The Democratic Territorial com
mittee met thjjr afternoon in the of
fice of George J. Love and selected
Juneau, May 24, as the place and
time for holding the territorial con
vention.
The committee was fully represent
ed, either in person or by proxy, and
there appeared to be some diversity
of opinion among the members as to
the place for holding the convention.
Juneau, Seward, Ketchikan and Fair
banks were among the cities advo
cated, and a number of ballots were
taken before Juneau was finally se
lected.
The date chosen. May 24, was
deemed by the committee favorable
for permitting delegates from the
most distant of the outlying districts
to reach the convention city, and at
the same time far enough in advance
of the national convention to permit
of the delegates chosen at the con
vention to reach St. Louis before
the national convention convenes.
