SEWARD. ALASKA* SATI’RDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1915.
\ou people hero in Seward; Look out through your back window and
the chances are that you can eternally look at a picture that beats art in a
thousand ways. That picture may be only a despised vacant lot. The fates
even may have decreed the presence of an empty ami rusty tin can or two, but
forget the can. Do not look away at the towering mountains. Heaven pierc
ing summits are grandeur but the grandeur fades with familiarity. In
the vacant lot. perchance, are little bushes which most of us only anathemize
when they shower wetting drops on our clothes, but little bushes, neverthe
less. which contain almost all the properties of natural beauty. That vacant
lot is usually a forest and fertile fields in miniature, containing in miniature
form all the glories of its giant prototypes. Watch the changing colors
at this time of year, and the shadows cast, the little leafy vistas, the green
glades, the leaves drooping to meet the reaching grass blades and the sud
den coming to life with juvenile imitation of the great woods when the
breeze comes on. If we could only take our minds from sordid things we
could all see infinitely beautiful picture galleries at our very doors.
Moral; Worry not about the future; lvnjoy the things at hand. Amen!
Some of the papers of Alaska are accusing Commissioner Frederick
Means of discriminating against Alaskans in the railroad work. The Juneau
Dispatch of September 18 says that Mr. Mears has been quoted as declaring
that “we are going to show the sourdoughs that we can build this railroad
without their assistance.”
It is probably safe to say that Mears said no such thing. Even if he
harbored sentiments which could be given expression by those words it is still
safe to *ay that he said no such thing. Taking Mr. Mears to be a man of in
telligence who would know that, however he feels, such a statement would
be superfluous, unnecessary, harmful only to himself and an insult to deserv
ing people it is absolutely safe to say that he said no such thing.
Mr. Mears knows, and we all know, that whether the physical labor of
building the railroad can be performed without sourdoughs or not, the rail
road could never have become an accomplished fact without the early efforts
of the men who made Alaska what it is.
It may be that we Alaskans are too prone to boast of what we have
done and that our pride has had the usual effect of creating an opposition in
the hearts of tnose who have come later. Alaskans are admittedly proud
of the territory forged oy tneir hands but they welcome with open arms the
increasing population and ask the newcomers to become part of them, main
tain their standard of living and be as broad as Alaskans themselves. That
is all we ask and there is nothing in that to hurt the feelings of anyone
worthy of citizenship of the territory.
