Seward, Alaska, April 21, 191 <.
Editor, Seward Gateway:
» in the northern part of our city
lives a family in front of whose resi
dence floats a beautiful American
flag.
When passing underneath its folds
I am inclined to remove my hat in
honor to the cherished flag. Also to
! the brave and patriotic family, who
have unfurled it in the face of a for
eign foe. They show no thoughtless
ness, no indifference, no fear. If it
were possible 1 would that it should
be the last to be lowered before an in
vading military despot.
I am inclined to ask myself, “are
the people of Seward going to allow
this little flag to stand alone 7“
If every family in Seward would
unfurl a little flag, also all business
houses, as well as all seeming public
. buildings, what an inspiring sight it
would be. The wet, slimy sordid blan
ket would be kicked off at once. A
patriotic Are would spring up in the
blood of American citizens and wjffm
ed in life would flow through their
veins with an ungovernable force,
with a new meaning.
The recruiting officers in our city
would no longer need to call for re- j
cruits.
The strangers landing on our shores
would know they were on soil belong
ing to the United States of America,
every foot of which is pledged to their
protection, as well as to crush those |
