SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1916
One thing Roosevelt must always he given credit for,
and that is fighting against mollycoddleism. During his
incumbency of the Presidency he was always a foe to the
cheap pseudo-morality which some weak people regaid as
the real thing. There is a type of person, more common
to the United States than any other country, which con
fuses babyism with purity. They believe that by spouting
virtue they are virtuous, but the truth is that they lack
manliness enough for manly vices. Mind, you, neithei
Roosevelt nor anyone else taking that side of the question
believes in vice. They probably abhor it more than the
Pharisees, but they abhor the Pharisees more. The hypo
crite is one who is careful to hide his vices but he probably
{assesses more vices than the man he condemns, the only
difference being that the vices of the hypocrite are of the
sneak nature. There is nothing in the world better cal
culated to turn real men against reform movements than
the asinine mollycoddleism displayed by so-called reform
ers. Xo matter how Roosevelt might be condemned today
he must always be given credit for showing the real dif
ference between men and Mollies.
Ixt a town not very far away from Seward a weekly
paper some time ago thought it correct, evidently, to at
tack the private character of a man who is running lor
office. This candidate is not one whom the Gateway would
support but any newspaper should condemn the filthy
statements made against him in print. If the candidate
could be proven dishonest and unworthy of confidence it
would be a different matter but the fault of which he was
accused in public had no bearing on his ability or honesty.
The people of Alaska should not permit themselves to tol
erate any foul personalities of this kind. It is to be ad
mitted that amongst our population are many who rather
enjoy reading this personal abuse and the men who write
it seem to think themselves clever because it is read and
laughed at by the thoughtless. The continuance of such
a practise would soon lower the manners of the whole
territory.
Villa was quoted some time ago as saying that he
would take an important part in the election of a presi
dent of the United States, and his operations around Chi
huahua may be part of his Mephistophelian scheme.
Judging by reports from outside one is led to think that
the result is very uncertain. Wry little might cause a
little disturbance that would shift a considerable body of
votes from one side to the other and with the apparent
eveness of things a very small body on a division might
do the trick. Some act in Mexico or some failure to act
in Mexico, some circustance that would fire the imagina
tion in the United States at the eleventh hour, might exer
cise a powerful influence.
