SEWARD, ALASKA. SATURDAY. MAY 13, 1916.
The bill which Delegate Wickersham seems to fear so much is rather
innocent on the face of it. That is, it has an innocent face and it is not
quite easy to see how its effects could be as dreadful as the Delegate says,
it is also hard to believe that the administration could bring about condi
tions which look almost like rescinding by resolution u little fact like the
Constitution of the United States. It is quite possible that Delegate Wick
ersham expresses his alarm too alarmingly.
On the other hand; James W'ickersham is a very bright man. He may
have all the tricks in politics which his enemies would discredit him with.
He certainly has always shown a decided inclination to be agin the govern
ment, but at the same time he is in a position to know more than we.
But again; Mr. Wickersham tells us that the bill was drawn up in the
office of the secretary of the Interior. If he had told us that it had been
drawn up in the office of the secretary of the Navy or in the Department of
Justice he would certainly have created a very strong suspicion that all
was not right, by the gods, but if that bill was drawn up in the department
whose head 1s Franklin K. Lane it is mighty difficult to bring oneself to be
lieve that it has any sinister designs on the freedom of Alaskans.
However, the facts are before the people and it is for the people them
selves to ascertain the real color of those facts.
It is easy for us to joke about Oolakans breaking our cable to the out
side. This paper said something to that effect the other day and on second
thought it hardly looks gracious. It is so mighty easy any time to get
facetious in print and hurt officials who are undoubtedly doing their best to
get us the best service within their power. The most dignified way would
be for the people to express their opinion collectively. We should have some
better service. For weeks now cables will come any old way and any old
time and no one will ever be sure of getting anything when it ought to be
got. Let us appeal once more earnestly for a change in the methods of
communication with the outside.
ILLINOIS* ONLY WOMAN
MAYOR IS TIRED
AND READY TO Ql lT
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WARREN, 111., May 10. —Mrs.
Angela K. Canfield, the only woman
mayor in Illinois, is ready to quit
when her term expires next month.
She say* she has had a good time
but she’s tired of being mayor.
Mrs. Canfield, who runs a millinery
shop with which to help out her yearly
income of $12 as mayor of Warren
is going to close out her business anti
go to California to live.
“Rounding up my boys, the council
men, was great amusement/' Mrs.
Canfield said today. “My aldermen
decided one night that they did not
want to call me mayor, and would
rather call me president. I told them
that Webster says mayor formerly
meant one who kept herds of cattle.
They didn't put anything over on
me.
Here are some of the improvements
Mrs. Canfield has accomplished since
she took office.
Abolished wife beating and spitting
on streets; stopped automobile speed
ing; closed all pool halls; caused the
covering of all candies, meats and
vegetables displayed for sale and
forced economy in electric and gas
lighting.
STRAUSS' NEW ALPINE
SYMPHONY GETS PREMIERE
AT CINCINNATI FESTIVAL
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CINCINNATI, 0., May 4.—Richard
Strauss’s new “Alpine" Symphony,
one of the most important novelties of
the present season abroad, will have
its American premiere as part of the
Cincinnati May Festival, under the
direction of Dr. Ernst Kunwald, con
ducting the Cincinnati Symphony
Orchestra here today.
In New York, the Philharmonic
Society had announced the symphony
for first performance some weeks ago.
but the announcement was withdrawn.
The reason given was that many of
the orchestral parts had not arrived
from Europe on account of delays in
mail due to the war, and the incident
received considerable notice at the
time.
Arrangements for the production of
the work by Dr. Kunwald were hastily
made.
The work has received more notice
: than any new orchestral work of the
| present season.
