SEWARD, ALASKA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1916.
The people of Alaska have been used to lightning,
changes. They have nearly all taken part in stampedes
when cities grew in a week in the midst oi lbe wilderness.
But they always saw such cities grow ing too last and they
saw the inevitable result—the gradual or quick decay.
But they always saw such cities growing too last and they
child that grows only in accordance with its constitution
t.nd free from the weediness that portends feebleness lat
er on. The stampede city is like the man who makes
money by gambling and the city that grows naturally is
like the man who earns his money. One retains the gains
and the other sooner or later drops them.
The more we read about the Roumanians, Russians,
Italians, Belgians, Serbians ami the rest the more is our
attention drawn to the magnificent defense made by the
countrymen of Napoleon. W e had come to regard f ranee
us more or less decadent but it was through our own
ignorance. In this war she has manifested a heroism, a
determination, a self sacrifice that is, perhaps, the great
est glory of the war. Somehow, everyone loves La Belle
France. Even the Germans speak well oi her. for cent
uries she lias been the Light of Art for the world. Never
has any other nation been so brilliant and so brave at one
and the same time. And tiiis can only be said because we
must recognize the power and greatness of the Germany
which France is lighting.
The winter is coining very close and the winter in
Alaska is not exactly the bright, warm and pleasant seas
on that one might expect in the tropics. There are long
evenings but there are ways to make them appear shorter.
In some Alaskan cities the winter season oiien seems as
pleasant as the summer so far as pastimes go. Seward
might be of great aid to itself in tnis respect. We should
have all sorts of pastimes no matter how poor they might
he. And we should have changes in our pastimes. A lit
tle vaudeville, dancing, athletic contests, other sorts of
contests, concerts, plays and all the rest. Kven when we
go to criticize those things we are supplying ourselves
with a pastime. There is nothing so pleasant sometimes
as getitng a chance to find fault if we can only do so with
out being bitter. Anyhow, let us keep things moving.
Motion murders morbidity, if one might use alliteration
like that to drive a thing home.
Mr. Cobb, candidate for attorney general, now
seems to be unable to open his mouth without talking
about that fish tax question. Cobb was made attorney
general by a Democratic governor because he was a Dem
ocrat himself and he was put in the place to do his duty.
It makes a person seasick to hear a man like Cobb mouth
ing about having done his duty, especially after betraying
the governor and the party that gave him the chance.
