1 wish to thank the people of Sew
ard and vieiniiy who have given me
their wholehearted support while I
have been affiliated with their news
paper, the Seward Gateway. I p&rtie
iariy want to ***** the merchants and
' business men of Seward who have ad
vertised consistently in the columns of
toe Seward Gateway during the past
torse months. I am retiring as editor
and manager of too Seward Gateway
, V
to make way for older and more ex
perienced newspaper men, who will be
enabled to give you a better newspap
er from every standpoint than 1 have
given you. The new owners of toe
Seward Gateway are thoroughly alive
16 too wonderful possibilities of ’the
future of Seward and will with their
superior knowledge sad improved fa
cilities, do all in their power to give
you n newspaper which will bp a credit
to the town of Seward. The adverse
and trying conditions which have ex
isted during the tone I have edited
and managed your paper will be elim
inated. The necessary help which is
t aod to publish a four page daily
r wspaper will not bo lacking as it
bz* been since I assumed charge of
Dio Gateway. Two men will not be ob
liged to work sixteen hours a day.
Three or possibly four people will do
the same work as the two and Aural
ly they will be able to do it more sys
tematically and perfectly than has
berc-to-fore been possible. I sincerely
tope that each sad every one of you,
dten those few who have for their own
»
particular, selfish interests, entertain
ed an antagnostic feeling toward me
and the paper, will support the new
owners of the Gateway in a whole
toarted and sincere manner. Some
not subscribed for the paper and
ilfne of the merchants have not ad
vertised. The reason they have opt has
Ifcen purely personal. It was (as they
have stated) because the Seward Gate
way was not n good newspaper. Noth
ing printed in it that was worth read
ing aad not worth advertising in be
cause the sheet wan a joke. Vhesefew
yA and they number only a few,
•111 now have the opportunity to sub
scribe and advertise in a really worth
me nswspapsr, owned,- edited and
la waged by sincere newspaper men
trho thoroughly understand their buai
They base pi mined to do so and
it is to be hoped that they will keep
tfct’ir word.and jan'tHc ranks of the
majority who Y we con*5.«tently sup
ported the Gateway. A capable man,
with years ef pvurt>al erience will
kamieall the job work. Aa intelligent
oiitor will write the editorials and
Uts items. Every detail of the busl
ines will bo handled correctly and
eystematidy.
I sincerely appreciate the kindness
of all who made it possible for me to
hru>w the people of SeWard and feel
uOKtident that the majority of you,
dho have gWen me your loyal support,
Ice. toward me as I fed toward you,
#ith a spirit of .rncere friendship.

THE DISABLED
(American Legion Weekly)
America's armed forces suffered ir
the war one major casualty— killed in
in action, or dead of wounds, disease,
accident or other causes— for every
thousand of h«rr population, men, wo
men and children. France lost one poi
lu for every twenty-seven persons ir
tlid republic. Had America suffered in
like proportion, her present total o.
640,000 men discharged with disability
and liable to he in need of htspitaliza
tton ormedical care at government ex
pease and undo* government direction \
would have surpassed the increditi ble *
x>tal of twenty-three million.
We are lucky, or we were sterling
fighters, or both— anyway, we con
cluded the war with a total of killed
n action only half that of either Bel
gium, Roumania or Bulgaria. One
striking striking way of pointing out
aow lightly we got off Is to say that
Germany alone lost more commission
ed officers killed in action than we
lid all ranks.
But did we get off lightly? Only on
he basis of dehumanized statistics—
jy so much and no more. Ask a biinil
k! soldier taking training, at Balti
nore whether we got off lightly. Ask
am if it doesn't make his lot easier
.o know that America had a bare hun
Ircd and fifty men made sightless by
?ar, as against Europe’s thousands.
Jut do not expect him to answer yes.
The only bearing which statistical
camparisions have on the case is to in
dicate the relative simplicity of Amer
ica’s disabled problem. The richest 1
country in the world, and the fewest J
.vac cripples to care for.
The number of America's disabled \
men • concerns only the detailed ad- j
ministration of America's duty. After j
«.hat, good-by arithmetic, and enter:
the moral factor. The moral factor!
concerns the obligation itself. That ob- {
igation, reduced to its lowest terns,;

handicap that caa be shown to have
been incurred in the service^ the na
tion's obligation to the single suffer

cange, and the Carnegie library, and
did much damage elsewhere.
But the extent of the conflagration
is of less moment than the incendiary
spirit which caused it and which
threatens the ruin of Ireland. Foi
months the burning of creameries has
been going on, in retaliation for at
taclts on the soldiery and police, and
the unhappy island is menaced with
such as has overtaken those regions
in Europe which bore the brunt of
war. Things have gone from bad to
worse, and the great fire at Cork
makes a gloomy beginning for Lloyd
George’s new "double policy.”
That intensified coercion would be
met by intensified violence was to be
foreseen, and if the promised peace
negotiations are not pressed with
energy things are likely to be done
which will make settlement impossible.
To expect tranqility to be restored as
a condition of peace is to expect the
impossible; wherever the blame for
the present deplorable state of things
may rest, a bitter fued has been creat
ed which makes violence inevitable.
Martial law may produce a sem
blance of order, but no military force,
when fury reaches a certain point of
desperation, can prevent murder and
incendiarism. To wait for peace be
fore beginning to negotiate would
make things worse. The disastrous
outbreak at Cork should be a warning
to the British government of the vital
importance of pressing the concilia
tory part of the premier’s program.—
Exchange.

SEWARD YOUTHS EDIT AND
PUBLISH SOCIAL MAGAZINE
IN SEATTLE
A copy of the “Zephyr” a social
magazine for the younger set of Seat
tle reached Seward yesterday. There is
nothing startling about the arrival of
a magazine from the states, but in
this particular instance the arrival
created considerable interest because
of the fact that this copy of the first
edition of the “Zephyr** represents the
combined work and individual talent
of two Seward youths who only recent
ly left Seward f^r the States. Emmett
Krefting who was given a farewell
party by the young people of Seward
ubout three weeks ago is ths Adver
tising manager and Jim Hawkins ton
of T. W. Hawkins, prominent Seward
merchant, is the Art Editor. James T.
Hitch, is the editor. Emmett Krefting.
is the son of Mr. and Mm. Charles
Krefting. He has' been * studying a
course in Jouqialiam during the pest
few years ami since the' time when he
was a Uttfe fellow has always express
ed a desire to write something pome
day that would really be >orth while.
He used to sell newspapers when he
was a little tot who was unable to
count beyond six. Jimmie Hawkins
whose dever original cartoons end
drawing kdvo attracted touch interest
told his father before leaving Seward
that he would make good at an artist

started, for himself we can expect w
see some really original drawings. The
little magazine with which he is affil
iated, is tastily decorated by his pen
and the borders and initial letters and
tail pieces unique in tfieir design. "The
collection of ads and their arrange
ment is the work of young Krefting.
He is also running a column called
‘Kreftipg’s Knutty Kolumn.”
The business manager and editor of
.he “Zephyr” will now have more time
to devote ta making the magazine
grow. An artist and a journalist from
Seward isn't bad for Alaska. Some day
we will send a governor and possibly
a president

FLY BY “THE HUMAN
TOOTHPICK ”
A polite person is one who doesn’t
let other people know what he thinks
of them. . .
Many a person is two faced from
habit and the two faced habit is us
ually a boomerang to those who culti
vate it!
Some people never change the
minds because they are like the ma
with one shirt
Too many women look upon a ma: -
rage certificate as a license to operrte

The man who attends to his own c.
fairs has no time to laugh at the mi

Dad's Reaction
He said to her, “My love for you
Is driving me quite mad.”
She said to him, “How odd. It has

Romance
The womout old stove crouched wanl.
on the rubbish pile and, pointing to the
ash l eap, remarked to the garbag
tin: “Ah, me' There's all that's left of
an old flame of mine'”.
Any Old Clothes?
Sweet Betty bought a paper suit,
She thought the thing would wear, .
But all the boys avoided her,
Lest she go on a tear.
Time files so quickly after a man
celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of
his earthly career that he imagines
there is quicksand in the hour glass.
One sore head and grouch in any
community is a worse menace than an
epedemic of small pox. .The pox pat
