SEWAKD, ALASKA, TCESDAY. MARCH 21. 1916.
From tim • to time one hears tho .suggestion that newspapers snow snob
bery by not publishing the names of steerage passengers as well as those ot
the first class. This is a mistake. Many people travel steerage who do not
want to have it known. A certain labor paper in the Territory once got the
idea of publishing the steerage names in the belief that it was doing what
workingmen who travel steerage would like, but it soon learned that the
opposite wits the fact.
Talking shop at all it must be said that the big news in a small town is
the news that usually may not be touched on. There is hardly a day that
something is not suppressed at the request of some one. One person wants
to keep out some little personal item and someone else wants to keep out
something that everyone knows and the Gateway san say that never was it
asked in a proper way to suppress anything and refused to grant the request.
Of course, it is one of the big ditlk uHies in publishing papers in small cities.
Spring has apparently come and the time is probably close at hand when
all of us can get away from ourselves. The first coming of beautiful weather
makes one almost believe that his sou! is about the same as the soul of a
plant by the manner in which it responds to sunshine.
In a couple of days we shall have the committee that conies to arrange
the wage seal ' for railroad work. The appointment of such a committee
marks a new departure in matters connected with the labor world. The three
gentlemen have proba’ y b n chosen as conservative members of the work
ers’ ranks. Such men an a blessing to industry and Seward ought to take
some steps to giv, recognition to their coming and to the wise thought that
brought about their appointment.
