SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11,1916
The public is the best judge of a newspaper and the,
newspaper which feels it necessary all the time to biing
its "scoops" to public notice proves its weakness. Hie
Gateway has never yet once said that it scooped any other
paper and when it has had exclusive stories it never was
inane enough to say that they were exclusive. Why?
Because it considered the public could see as well as itself.
Whenever you see two newspapers in a town and when
ever you see one of those newspapers constantly (joint
ing out little advantages or supposed advantages it gain
ed over the other you can always place the blatant one in
second place even if you took nothing else into considera
tion. These journalistic he-haws have a plan to pick out
some storv which thev believe the leading paper has not
* *
got .then make it look important and put a great big head
on it. and next day get he-hawing like their long-eared
prototypes of the other animal world. This is an old
trick of littie newspapers that find it hard to live legiti
matelv. After this necessarv direction of attention, done
in the best of humor, this paper will try to abstain from
any more of this sort of personal explanation.
Another little thing, it may be said as a last word,
which those little newspapers try instead of news is the
starting of some scheme to try to advertise themselves.
One time it is a change of clocks, another it is making use
of some supposed charitable purpose to keep themselves
before the public. It would be all very ridiculous if it
were not so pathetic.
The idi-a of having a divisional high school establish
ed here is one of the best put forward for some time, and
particularly is it good because it is one idea that has a
splendid chance of being put into execution. As long as
young Alaskans must go outside to receive the higher
education so long will Alaska alwavs be menaced by the
danger of being terribh provincial. If the Alaska legis
lature is wise it will get to work on this plan, and if Sew
ard is wise it will carry on the campaign to make itself
the site of the school for this division. This is really the
nlace for it as Seward will be in touch by railroad with in- j
tenor places and in touch by boat all the year with the i
places on the coast. It is really a magnificent idea. The
material advantage of having such a school here would be
small compared to the advantage in other respects, such !
as that of creating a new atmosphere, an atmosphere of
refinement.
