SEWARD. ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 29,1916
The Gateway does not wish to be too hard on anyone.
To be merciful is our motto. Far l>e it from us to criticize
hut. by heaven, one of these days we must strike terrori
into the heart of certain people. And when we say “we”
we mean nothing less than the editorial \\ E. Get no
cringing slave think we mean anything less terrible or
that our devastating rage can be turned aside. We may
know nothing about some things but A\E once lived in a
railroad town, and therefore, no one can deny our claims
as a railroad builder, and we must say here deliberately
that if the Russians could only bring up supplies by Pig
sky and start at Whiski they could get their railroad
built to Comeoffski and take Gemberg or Gimburger. We
have our eye on the Czar. Don't forget that.
The United States government is now about to peddle
booze to the people of Seward. It looks rather hard to
give Seward the advantage over Anchorage in any re
spect, but the government of the United States never,
never shall be a bootlegger. All Uncle Sam will ever con
sent to do is to start business in opposition to the men who
are now paying the liquor license of a thousand per an
num each. Thousands of bottles of firewater are to be
placed in the bureaus of the citizens of Seward against
the dry or a rainy day or whichever of these apparently
contradictory terms is most applicable. Thank goodness
that the government selected our fair citv for this mark
of favor and love. After Anchorage, evidently, we oc
cupy first place in the bosom of our country. The only
people wronged are the men who pay that thousand a
year and, after all, their business cannot be so very vile
when Uncle Sam himself adopts it as a profession. As
long as you are willing to take their money, Uncle, why
sell your pison to the people direct Why not let it go to
the people through the saloons while you are willing to
take the license money of the saloons? When you gave
those men licenses and took their money did you tell them
that you were about to start in opposition? Is it that you
consider the business of selling liquor not proper and that,
therefore, your agreement with saloon men is only a
scrap of paper? Do you base your moral code on the
ground that faith should not be kept with people of whose
business you do not approve? If so, do you know that you
are committing a greater breach of the fundamental prin
ciples of morality than they?

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward !
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
