SEWARI), ALASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1916
One can hardly pay much attention to what anyone
says in a political argument when the opposing sides have
worked themselves up to a certain pitch. Argument soon
gives way to personal abuse unless the greatest curb is
kept on the tongue, and it is always unpleasant to see
bright men expose the natural state in which we all exist
in spite of the veneer. It is a funny thing that personal
abuse has a greater effect often than real argument. This
does not speak well for the brand of civilization or culture
we enjoy. And all politicians of all parties at one time or
another seem to be unable to avoid this personal abusing.
Roosevelt's Ananias club is the historical example to show
that even a man who has been president of the United
States falls for the temptation as well as anyone else, and
the worst of it ail is that no one believes the abuse unless
they are partisans and want to believe it. Whenever a
politician abuses another the side of the man abused say
the abuse is due to the soreness of the one who abuses,
and that is all it amounts to. We have instances aplenty
in Alaska where both sides to arguments have abused
each other to the limit but how few have succeeded in
making the public see the opponent as they want them to
be seen. Abuse is absolutely powerless against an enemy.
Argument counts in the end.
The profession of the law is easily first as a step to
wards political preferment. As*a rule all democratic gov
ernments are run by lawyers and this is the reason why
the ranks of the profession are overcrowded. The legal
calling is something like gold mining. A few great suc
cesses keep the crowd stampeding to it and the result is
that it has more failures than any other. Perhaps the
chief reason why lawyers take so prominent a place in
politics is because they are trained to public speaking
from the beginning. Of course, lawyers ought to be the
most skilled in making laws but why should it be that a
lawyer like Llovd George, for instance, is chosen as the
l**st man to direct a great war or any phase of a. great
war? There is nothing in the legal training that could
aid him in work of that kind but he happened to get into
parliament and in parliament his legal training aided him,
with the result that prominence came and his gifts were
discovered. If a grocer with much greater ability to furn
ish an army spent half his life in parliament and lacked
the gift of eloquence his ability would never be recogniz
ed. A trained tongue is the greatest medium for advertis
ing in the world.

IN WALL STREET BETTING
Mining Man Wagers $1,000 to $2,000
on President hut Other Wilson
Hackers Holding for Odds.
A western mining man with implicit
faith in the likelihood of President
Wilson to repeat his success at the
po Is, yesterday made a bet in Wall
Street of $1,000 to $2,000 that the
Democratic candidate would defeat
Justice Hughes in the November elec
tions.
ibis same mining man announced
that he had several thousand dollars
more to wajrer at the same odds and

response that probalyb would have re
lieved him of all his capital. Pre
viously he had bet $2,000 at 7 to 10.
There is more Wilson money in
sight now than there has been, but it
is being held for odds even better
I than two to one. Thus far the ad
herents of the President have not suc
ceeded in obtaining more favorable
quotations.
A Wall Street brokerage concern
took the biggest wager yet recorded
on the outcome of the campaign. The
brokers wagered $10,000 against $f>,
000 that Hughes would be returned
the winner.
There is a sentiment on the Street
that before long there will be exceed
ingly heavy betting on the election.
Just at the moment Hughes is a top
heavy favorite, but the trend is likely
to change at almost any moment. It
is almost a certainty that the betting
will assume an extensive scale before
many days have passed.
One operator offered yesterday to
place the largest wager yet recorded,
a sum not even approached thus far
in the campaign, if he were given odds
of 10 to 4. However, his proposal fell
upon deaf ears, and it is not likely
the odds will be increased.
While Wall Street obviously is in
favor of the election of the former
justice, it is deemed that two to one is
the best that possibly can be offered.

in Seward.

block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.

and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
