SEWARD. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 6, 1916.
One of iho things that tii! a man with contempt and
disgust for his own human nature is the constant desire
exh’hited by smire people to kiek a man in trouble. It you
I'.ite a corporation or the people connected with a cor
poration because you couldn't work them tor your own
o’ ds thoro is a natural temptation to attack them, and it
your soul is small the attack will he delivered. It will he
ail the more certainly delivered if you are shrewd enough
to believe \ott can make money by it through the support
of people who are temporarily put about by the corpora
tion. The man who attacks the corporation for the sup
pos'd benefit of the people who believe themselves injured
would attack those same people next day if there were
“anything in it.’
Lot us suppose for a moment that a corporation, a pub
lic utility corporation, failed to supply the public needs
“through act of tiod for a time, but where does the ad
vantage come in printed asinine blatanev. The whole
people know the tacts themselves, in a small town every
man, woman ami child understands the circumstances.
How does newspaper blatherskite help the matter? There
is m* necessity for drawing attention to it. Everyone has
his attention directed to it constantly by the fact itself.
Sureh the people are intelligent enough to know what is
w rong and what remedy, if any, they might provide with
out some blithering newspaper scribbler who tries to eke
out a living l>\ seeking popularity or indirect blackmail
telling them.
Listen, people; A little more charity in your hearts
in many eases would do you no injury. Always remem
ber that tin* person you attack is suffering more than
yourselves. I here is no public utility corporation in the
world which from time to time does not fall down tempor
k arily in its efforts to supply the public needs. Look hack
at the stoppage of street cars, trains, the falling of tele
phone lines, the failure of cables and the thousand other
things that you have experienced in the past. In such
cases the citizens themselves are fully alive to the faults
and it is lor the citizens themselves to bring their troubles
before a corporation, if it is necessary, not to depend on
some printed rag that would attack themselves tomorrow
for so much per line or to gain a little lucre from their
enemies. Chit out the small town stuff.
Martin Welsh, the famous railroad contractor who
took the contract to build the railroad along Turnagaln
Arm for the Alaska Central, said that the work there
would take two thousand men eighteen months to ac
complish. This ought to he enough to expose the vacuity
of the noodles that imagine they know railroad work.

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 (hat 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 tide 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.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever liiade in Seward.
