SEWARD, ALASKA. ITJESDAY, FEBRUARY 2% 191»>.
Most of us are inclined to get very nervous when we learn of some
little hitch in the emergency appropriation but we should remember that
the railroad money contained in that appropriation is only one item and that
it might not at ail be in question. For aught we know to the contrary the
bill might be held up because of some clause providing for money for some
thing at Kalamazoo. By the way. the Gateway never said the bill had been
signed by the president; It quoted the purser of a steamboat as saying so.
It is most likely that the people will vote today for the election of a
mayor separately from the city council and only goodness knows yet who will
be the choice but whoever he is he will have the sympathy of the public if
he is fated to preside over men to whom a knowledge of parliamentary rules
or courtesy is as thoir knowledge of the other world.
Mayor Thompson of Chicago, according to the advices on yesterday’s
boat, is charged with accepting money from employees of the city over
whom he had control. This charge may be false and it may not be. Thomp
son has recently closed saloons on Sundays and has done other things which
were likely to cause some attempt to injure him, but, on the other hand, an
organization bearing the prepossessing title of Young People's t ivie league
is the one which has accused him. Young people are not usually the kind
to bring false accusations ami there is a suggestion borne home to the mind
by the two words that is certainly unfavorable to the mayor. In addition U>
this there is always the suspicion that public bodies which have the privilege
of hiring men at the expense of the taxpayers and which raise their salaries
ami emoluments beyond reason have some strong personal reason for their
supposed generosity. There is not a man of us who has followed politic®
even as an observer who has not encountered some of the most disgusting
dishonesty amongst men who have been elected by the people. One of the
chief methods of thievery is that which is alleged against Thompson. The
elected men hire people on the taxpayer’s money, try to make the tax roll as
large as possible, raise the wages of the employees as high as they can ami
then compel those salaried people to “come across.” Thank heaven all public
bodies are not this way but enough of them adopt those methods to make a
man believe that all employees if possible should be chosen by the people
themselves. Sometimes it happens that the majority of a public body is
honest but only too often it also happens that the dishonest members are the
ones who get control of the salaried officials. They make it a point to do so.

HENRY FORD.
Henry Ford has beon called a jack
.tss and a clown because he hired a
ship and sailed across the bca to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
in his action is not the question j
whether he will or will not stop the;
war, but the fact that he is willing to
try! It was by trying that he got!
where he is. Hut still he keeps on ,
trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds, (
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he,
is willing to undertake the greatest
job that ever fell to the lot of a
human being in the world’s history.
He brushes aside the thousands of
columns of newspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so-j
called statesmen, he sets his face to-1
ward the most glorious goal that any j
man ever hoped to achieve—and goes j
on his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person who!
ias taken a definite step toward end
ing the war. True it may not be the
right step, you got that by trying.
The men who sit in swivel chairs and
sneer and make funny jokes about
that man Ford are not taking steps of
any kind to end the war. The job
looks too big and too hopeless to
them. It looks big to Ford and may
be it looks hopeless to him. But he’s
got the nerve to try and spends his
own money. Asking aid of no man.
What a nation this would bo, if each
industry could be headed by a bord
who was willing to try, what chance
would any other nation under the sun
have with us. What if more of us
were willing to try and less of us
were slaves of convention and
creatures of habit. There is a word
in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
there. Never use it. Well we’ve been
“Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and
the Engineers that direct it, awaken
to the fact that Seward is the Begin
ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads
Si Alaska. In the meantime, we have
i plenty time and help to serve you.
I Best treatment, best price, and sure
ly the Best Goods.
