SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 2,1916.
The time is fast approaching when candidates for the
political offices will be heard holding forth. We shall hear
again the same old arguments and the same old attacks,
and once again the name of Guggenheim will take the for
ward place in the affairs of the territory.
It is fine to be rich like the Guggenheims. It is all
very well to sav that a certain amount of money, enough
to supply all your material wants, is enough for any man
but it is very nice also to have enough to make politicians
use you as the chief subject around which to entwine their
forensic flowerets. Any speaker who does not attack the
Guggenheims is in the pay of the Guggenheims. In the
newspaper business in Alaska you must either roast the
Guggenheims or you are surely a Guggenheim tool. Do
vou know the sensation of being accused for years of tak
ing the Guggenheim money although you never saw a red
cent of it? That’s the only thing the Guggenheims cer
tainly ought to be bawled out about; They have the credit
of spending a lot more money on newspapers and others
than they really do. Some newspapermen are human,
mirabile dictu, and might be tempted just as much as any
other specimen of the race to accept a little filthy lucre if
it wasn’t too filthy to be clean, but those Guggenheims get
all the credit for nothing and the newspapers get all the
roasting, also for nothing. Dear Messrs. Guggenheim;
This aint fair. Several politicians are coming around soon
and newspapermen will have to stand bye and hear them
selves and their friends accused of taking your money.
Often some newspapermen wish they were telling the
truth about you. Yes, there may be some people who
would like to see the color of a little of your coin. There
might be even some of our accusers whose high sense of
honor and probity and unselfishness and virtue might not
be too elevated to reach down for some of your ungodly
gold.
The great strike is probably averted. It would have
been so tremendous that its continuance for any length of
time would have caused an industrial revolution. It would
have driven people to the necessity of living as they had in
feudal times, by exchange of the necessities of life, but the
vast cities that were made possible by railroads and other
improved means of transportation would have wilted
when the chief source of their lives had been withdrawn.
One is almost conscious of a feeling of regret that the
strike did not take place that we might learn something
wonderful, as we are learning wonders from the world
war.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The (Iovt. 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 $123. — 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 subcr
ban home ever made in Seward.
