SEWARl), A1.ASKA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 191G j
Be careful what you say about another in a town like,
this. Wo all know cadi other so well, arc so intimate, so
dose that we have in a sense become a solid body through
which a “message" will travel quickly and without inter
ruption. \\ hi‘ii you speak a little scandal or gossip to one
pci-sou about another in a community which is so much
“unified" you are speaking, perhaps, through a human
telephone or into a human phonograph which transmits
Your message to everyone. Kipling lias spoken of the
word of scandal as a sinister thing of life which travels
lrom one to another—just like a vicious imp busy travel
ing from ear to ear. How careful we should all he! One ,
little story spoken carelessly might murder the character
of someone.
_
it is impossible to avoid thinking of the German peace
pr posals. U hen von Bethmann Holweg spoke Ids words
traveled to the minds of all peoples all over the world. It
t!u- men in the trenches were given the choice you may be
sure they would cast a large majority in favor ot calling
the war oil. But tiie vote of their friends and relatives
would be much stronger for the same purpose. The men
who will decide are only two or three individuals in each
belligerent nation, but, after all, those few have been en
trusted with the direction of government and they are
bound to look to the future of their countries. They are
hue the foremen of railroad gangs; 1 he men are so tired
that even their duty's eaii sounds less imperative and less
worthv of heed. It is strange how the suffering of mind
and body makes ns forget love, patriotism and all other
ideals which appeal so strongly to us at other times.
Someone ought to suggest putting the peace question to a
vote of the soldiers in the trenches.
Fishing will probably become a great industry around
Seward. The fish are here by all accounts and we have
the one great harbor. In recent months we have only be
gun to learn the possibilities ol that branch of industry,
and there will be other possibilities that will dawn on us
from time to time.
Seward has recent 1\ been treated to some sensational
events. So quickly has one tragic occurrence followed an
other that our sensibilities have become dulled to some ex
tent. Is it not a fact that the sudden death of a prominent
citizen has not had the sensational effect that it would
have had before? Another little thing worth thinking
about.
