SEWARD. ALASKA. SATI RDAY. APRIL 3. 19L">._
The Cordova and Valdez papers reflect the feeling of the people of those
cities that Seward has won out. They are naturally disappointed and no one
can blame them, hut it is hoped that the period of development which is about
to open will embrace them also in its pleasant arms.
In the moment of victory Seward has not forgotten its sister cities on the
coast or any other part of the great territory of which it is a part. It wishes
the best for all Alaska. It wishes the best for every place in Alaska and it
particularly wishes that the period of deferred hope for Cordova and Valdez
will be brief. We want to see Valdez and Cordova developed. While we
want Seward to be THE city, naturally, we want to see Cordova and \ aide/
prosper. There is a great day ahead for all of us and may the sun of that
day, while shining directly ahove Resurrection hay, cast its rays all over.
The men who are representing Alaska in the Juneau legislature are a
good, honest hunch, but whv in the name of all that is just do they bother
their heads about lazy husbands and such other legislation? A member of
the senate has also introduced a bill providing punishment for the publication
of evil acts on the part of others whether the story published is a tact or not.
There are very few lazy husbands in Alaska. There are very few hus
bands at all in proportion to the population. There are still fewer women
in Alaska who wotlld live with a lazy husband and there are no husbands
at all who could hope to be lazy and make it stick.
As to publishing truthful stories about a man who deserves it there is
very little to be said. The hill provides that the paper publishing such truth
ful facts can only he punished if it is shown that the publication was caused
by malice. How is the malice to be proven and how is a man guilty of a crime
that is published hope to secure a verdict? If he is an unworthy individual
or a criminal you may he sure he will have to take his medicine whether the
paper’s publication is malicious or not. (let down to something that may
improve the lot of many people, Messrs Legislators, or people will come to
the conclusion that your legislation is meant to vent some personal spleen,
f or heaven’s sake cut out the mollycoddleism
It is more than likely that the twenty-five thousand acres of land reserv
ed on Cook Inlet are meant for the raising of reindeer. In this we have an
illustration of how new lands are developed. I here is no land created that has
not its uses. Any little bit of soil is meant by Nature to bring forth some
thing. Where is the most infinitesimal bit of sod on which grass or some
growth does not find a root. Nature finds the new territory just as it finds
and uses the shovelful of dirt that you throw by the wayside.
Bernard Shaw, the great plavright, says that Alaska belongs to Russia.
That is he thinks it does. He never heard of the purchase of the territory
by the I'nited States. The moral of this true Tact is that genius does not
mean knowledge of current facts bv a long way. We should call a school
rhild ignorant if he made such an error, hut, after all, genius hardly recog
nizes international boundaries.
