SEWARD. ALASKA, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1915.
Newspapers in England say that Germans who live in Great Britain have
in many cases changed their names for self protection and that when chang
ing their names they have taken the names of the most aristocratic families
in the kingdom. Those papers take the opportunity of ridculing this practice
and already sneeringly call all such Germans “Howards ’ as Howard is the
family name of the Duke of Norfolk who is the premier duke of the empire,
but the papers need not be quite so facetious as the German residents of
England are by no means the originators of this custom. Of the hundred mil
lion people of the United States today there are probably a quarter of them,
of all nationalities, who arc known under names which their paternal ancest
ors could not pronounce. It is probably the same with the so-called races ol
all other countries. In all nations the feeling prevails that a foreign name
is a disadvantage or. at least, acts as a sort of distinguishing mark to show
that the bearer of it is amongst people of a different blood and nationality.
Under these circumstances it is not to he wondered at that people from other
lands change their names. The only remarkable fact about it is that the
white strangers who come to these shores do not in great numbers take the
names of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. 1 hey go as near as they
can by taking names that were on the passenger list of the Mayflower and
on the first class passenger list at that. It would never do to be in the steer
age if such an historic vessel had such accommodations. W hat fools these
mortals be. Or. rather, how wise these mortals be.

Seward is going to have a big crowd of poor people as well as a big
crowd of the well-to-do. The Evans is bringing here from Seattle twenty
one steerage passengers. The foreman of the government work at Ship creek
writes the Gateway that several people are stampeding there in the belief
that roadhouses are in operation and they are doomed to disappointment for
the present. All this shows that Seward is destined to he in reality a tent
town in a very short time and it is better to keep the matter before our minds.
The passenger lists of recent dates on the steamers show that the rush has al
ready begun. It is only the advance guard of the rush, so to speak, but the
main body will soon be upon us.
...
It may be that before this appears in print the decision of the govern
ment with respect to the railroad will be made public. Many of the people
of this town ha%e waited patiently for years for that moment.. The waiting
has been hard as all waiting for all thin.:» good is hard. If they had been
satisfied to settle down to what they possessed and make the best of it the
time would probably have been more pleasant but when we see in the future
greater things than those of the present the things of the present look in
finitesimally small and unworthy. All of us live on hopes of the future. Let
us hope that what was hoped for will fulfill those hopes.

The Ketchikan Progressive says: ||
The article which appeared in last
week's issue of the Progressive, pur
porting to be the story of the trouble
between Father Duncan, of the Metla
kahtla settlement fame and the nat
ives, has added fuel to the contro
versy.
In view of the fact that Duncan’s
side of the trouble had been broad- ]
!v advertised the relator referred to
in the article being desirous that the !
native’s side be told, made the state-]
ment as published, with the result
that the editor of the Progressive was
arrested, taken before the U. S. com
missioner, the charge read which was
followed by a long explanation by
Mr. Duncan from the beginning of his j
relation with the tribe up to this day,
and the editor was discharged.
