Political campaign times are coming and many of you
will soon have the privilege of "shaking some Alaskan
statesmen by the hand. You will hear thejn tell you how
the same blood runs in their veins that courses through
your own, and proud of it, by heavens, already. Did you
ever see a candidate in a Swedish community or a Ger
man community or an Irish community or a Liliputian
communitv or anv other old sort of a communitv that
, . *
didn't come from the same race as the majority of the
local population, and very often from every nationality
represented therein, just as though any man of any na
tionality would vote for a rascal of his own race before
voting for a good man of another race.
Whenever a man tries to get your vote by telling you
that he is of your own nationalitv vote for some one else.
This is a pretty safe rule to follow because the man who
tries to get votes in the manner stated is either lying or
is using his own ancestry, that ought to be sacred, to
feather his nest, andrtherefore. he is not a fit man to rep
resent you.
Some people do not seem to understand what the pres
ent cry of “Americanism" stands for. Some unthinking
people seem to imagine that Americanism means that you
must forget your native country if it is a foreign one, but
it is no such thing. True Americanism does mean, how
ever, to place America first and no man can place America
first who votes for a scheming politician because he is a
German, an Irishman, a Swede, an Englishman or any
thing else. It is just the same way in business. Men of
some nationalitv or another trv to make a good living bv
using their countrymen. It is just the very same as the
politicians and both should be looked upon with suspicion.
Of course, if a man of another race who might be
bigoted against yours tries to get elected it might alter
matters, but a bigot deserves to l>e beaten anyhow, al
though one can say that Americans are easily the broadest
people on earth and you can choose lots of men without
picking out the poorer ones. There might even be less
narrowness if all the people of the United States made it
a rule to vote for a man of some other national descent
than his own if all other things were equal. But the best
way of all is to forget that nationality stuff altogether
while one is supposed to be an American citizen. That is,
to forget it in relation to American politics and American
life generally.
Seward is going to have a far better winter season
from the industrial point of view than we imagined some
time ago. Since Chairman Edes informed the Gateway
some weks ago that the work between Kern creek and
Glacier creek would be done from this end and that a few
miles of the work in that neighborhood would cost about
c?
a million dollars conditions for this citv mav be said to
* *
have changed altogether.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A “warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROM1G & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a subcr
ban home ever made in Seward.

“If the Susan I’». Anthony amend

Congress—the National Woman’s
Tarty conceives it their duty at the
polls in November not to vote for the
Democratic candidates for the Presi

the federal amendment can the Demo
