SEWARD, ALASKA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER II, 1013.
it is evident that poor old John Balloon has arrived in Washington and
is letting off gas. You can smell it here.
Faking in a newspaper is like the straw at which the drowning man
grasp*.
The war ne\ss is peculiar. One cable from London says Hungary is
about to ask for separate peace and another cable from the same place sa\s
the end of the war seems further off than ever.
That story about Seward sending people to Anchorage to take moving
pictures of the ice may sound tunny but it really is not. Anyone can hope
sometime to job a newspaper. It might be better here to say that there was
no truth whatever in the story. This is for the benefit of people who might
have read the story in the Anchorage Pioneer.
Has anyone ever tried to analyze social life in a town ot this size. It
is just the same as social life in any other small town and the people are the
same people that one meets in all parts of the world. Stih, somehow, no
great writer corns to have been able to exactly photograph it, although thou
sands have tneu. All of us have got the impression like a photographic plate
but we cannot show it. A book dealing with social life in Seward, let us say.
would be a delight if it just showed Sew aril as it really is. l>ut,< failing the
book, what is the matter w ith regarding the life itself as just a pleasant study.
In a book idiosyncracies. foibles, even failings often look attractive rather
than repulsive. It would be fine if we could armor ourselves by looking im
personally at the little things that arc disagreeable.
The two hostile alliances in Europe are now probably in about the same
frame of mind as two small boys fighting. A boy goes into a tight with an
other determined to show his juvenile contemporaries who obligingly form a
ring how obsolutely sure he is of the result anti how absolutely reckless he i>
of the consequences. The tight goes on anti each kid receives punishment.
He wishes for nothing in all this world so much as for some big fellow to
come along and put an end to the agony, but he cannot quit voluntarily with
out disgrace. Each pugnacious brat hides from the other his real feelings
so that each is worried that he alone is feeling the effects ot the combat.
Then comes the bluff to sound the other. “Have you enough." one says.
“Enough! Have YOU enough?” and then they both look fiercer than ever
ami go at it again. l,et it be hoped that when Chancellor von Bethemann
Hollweg spoke in the Reichstag the other day he meant “have you enough"
and that when France answered by saying it would tight to the end it meant
“have YOU enough.” The world has enough.

SEATTLE, Dec. 11.—A Japanese
crew of a ship which was being loaded

The Joys and Clothes
4 ofYuletide 4
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs 1 And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
