SEWAK1>, ALASKA, FRIDAY, JlTNE 16, 1916. [
There was once a town in which all the people knew
each other without having found any faults in each other
or any reason for knocking each other or robbing each
other. There were no petty jealousies in that city. It wasj
just as free from cliques as some new city into which peo
ple had just stampeded who had never seen each othei be
fore. It was a town where all were regarded as friends of
each other. There was absolutely no division in that,
beautiful city. There was no backbiting and no uncharit
ableness. It was a perfect city—the only perfect city that
ever existed in all God’s creation. It was the capital city
of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Is government construction, government operation
and government ownership ot public utilities e\»T to be,
as successful as private construction, operation and own
ership?
If it is, a new method will have to be developed. There
must be fewer directors, to start with, and there must be
less red tape and greater freedom of action for the men in
charge. It is always to be admitted that a government is!
always faced with one difficulty which is absent in the case
of private ownership—that is the difficulty born of the
belief in the public mind that as the government repre
sents the people, the people should have a right to inter
ference. This is an obstacle which a government can only
avoid by using autocratic powers such as those which
have recently been proposed in connection with the gov
ernment railroad. This is a question tor socialists: How
are they going to make government ownership of public
utilities conform to the standards of success without giv
ing governments absolute power? And it governments
are given absolute power in such matters where is the
freedom of the socialistic commonwealth?
x—.U. tKo^■ v-tu'cvUbta\bs: to lhYo\V lands open for
tree settlement, and we have heard of the big rushes now
and again for such lands; and if a remote territory is
hungry and thirsty for settlers and cannot possibly sur
vive unless it gets that food and drink, why should a gov
ernment sell lots at all instead of giving them away? This
is no complaint. It is merely a question to get the people
thinking for themselves.
A NIGHT COURT
FOR WAGE EARNERS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK. June 5. A night
court where wage-earners can secure
the prompt settlement of suits involv
ing small sums will be opened in this
city tonight.
It wilt be held hereafter four times
each week, on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays, from j> to
lip. m. Branches will be established
in the various boroughs as needed.
This aid for persons who can least
afford to surfer from the law’s de
lays was finally secured without the
passage of a bill from Albany which
would made it mandatory.
Mayor Mitchel recognized that the
authority to set up such a court was
already vested in the Board of
Justices.
Directly the judges took definite ac
tion to provide the court for all the
boroughs the mayor vetoed the Al
bany bill.
There are enough justices to divide.
the work in such manner as shall pre- j
vent the extra duties from weighing
too heavily on them.
The new Night Court may greatly
increase respect for the law by em
phasizing its readiness to serve the;
poor man for whom its lengthier pro
cesses are prohibitive.

The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. 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 Woodrowr 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 $125. — 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 bcautiiully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
