SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 2b. 191b. _ _
The Gateway, needless to say. has never said anything against foreign
ers. When anyone makes such an assertion he is just doing politics and try
ing to gain sympathy. The very idea is absurd and would be particularly
absurd so fur as the Gateway is concerned. This paper certainly believe,
that men who are densely ignorant should not go into public life. The last
man who should enter public life is the man who cannot express himself,
cannot understand what others are saying and could not comprehend even if
they understood every word. A man may not have a bit of book education
and still not be ignorant in the worst sense of the word. There have been many
men who were unable to w rite their names and still were gentlemen because
they were gifted with natural intelligence. The ignoramus who is so ignor
ant that he cannot recognize his ow n ignorance is the one who has the nerve
to get into public view and the result is the lowering of the tone of the
whole community, l'cmocracics will never be properly governed until there
i.. some standard of intelligence set for a man before he can be elected to
am oiliie. Really, downright ignorance is only a step removed from lunacy
and is as dangerous in some respects.
It is certain now that the crown prince of Germany did not commit
su v ide. That unfortunate man has undergone so many catastrophes since
the -k*ginning of the war that one could easily imagine how he could do any
thing. According to the press dispatches he has been killed three times, has
been wounded twice and went insane at least once. 1 hat s w hat it is to be
in the public eye.
The result of that bowling game ought to make Anchorage feel more
friendly about the dog race. There is no reason why the race could not be
made an annual event between the two towns, each town having its own
year as the starting place.
The registration book-* will close this evening at 10 o clock for the
election next Tuesday. The littleness of the voting is remarkable but the
people are probably not interested in the manner of electing city officials.
There is no other waj in which to account for the small registration up to
yesterday.

HEN It Y FORD.
Henry Ford has been called a jack- j
ass and a clown because he hired a j
! ship and sailed across the sea to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
1 in his action is not the question j
j whether he will or will not stop the;
war, but the fact that he is willing to
, try! it was by trying that he got
; where he is. But still he keeps on
: trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
i is willing to undertake the greatest
job that ever fell to the lot of a
human being in the world’s history.
He brushes aside the thousands of
columns of newspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so
called statesmen, he sets his face to
i ward the moat glorious goal that any i
• man ever hoped to achieve—and goes
on his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person who;
las taken a definite step toward end
ing the war. True it may not be the'
right step, you get that by trying.
The men who sit in swivel chairs and
sneer and make funny jokes about
j that man Ford are not taking steps of
any kind to end the war. rlhe job
looks too big and too hopeless to
! them. It looks big to Ford and may
| be it looks hopeless to him. But he’s
| got the nerve to try and spends his
I own money. Asking aid of no man.
What a nation this would be, if each
industry could be headed by a Ford
who was willing to try, what chance
would any other nation under the sun
have with us. What if more of us
were willing to try and less of us
were slaves of convention and
creatures of habit. There is a word
in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
there. Never use it. Well we’ve been
“Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and
the Engineers that direct it, awaken
to the fact that Seward is the Begin
ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads
hi Alaska. In the meantime, we have
plenty time and help to serve you.
Best treatment, best price, and sure
ly the Best Goods.
