SEWARD. ALASKA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 191(5
Read the article from that St. Paul paper in today s
paper and then ask yourselves what sort ot a paity could
have sent out so disgusting a libel on the people ot tins
part of Alaska. By mentioning the name of a certain
prominent official of the engineering commission m this
article this correspondent leaves the impression that the
official holds the views expressed in the story but it can
safely be said that the official never intended any such
thing. The correspondence is dated at Seward and it is to
be presumed that a Seward man wrote it. He says the
people here are sore because they could not graft ofl the
government. This matter ought to be looked into and an\
correspondent who could have been guilty of so cowaulh
and contemptible a libel on the people ot this city should
not he permitted to retain the power tor indicting harm
on the place where he presumably makes a living. There
is no way of telling who the traitor could he. but if there
ever was a traitor to his community this is one.
The Episcopalian Conference has decided finally to
retain the word “obey* in the marriage ceremony. Ibis
was done after lots of protest against the idea that a wom
an should make a vow of obedience to her husband. There
is some strange reason for keeping that word in the cere
mony unquestionably. It cannot be that the vow is meant
to be kept, for who ever heard of a woman that obeyed a
man? Indeed, who ever heard of a woman that did not
force obedience from a man? \\ ith all respect to churches
the vow should he changed to'iove, honor and boss/
The Anchorage papers are also attacking the Alaska
Road Commission but they give the whole thing away
when they show that they do so for the purpose of getting
most of the money of the commission spent at Anchorage.
This even might be condoned if they would only not try
to injure Seward in their fight for their own town. 1 he
Anchorage papers openly say that Colonel Richardson
would be wasting money to build a road from Seward to
Kenai lake, and these same papers have Seward people
backing them in their fight. In the issue of October 12 the
Daily paper over there hints that politics only could give
the “two Ford cars at Seward” a road to Kenai, and in the
issue of the 13th the same paper says we should not get
such a road. People who say Seward is attacking Anch
orage might read this and get a lesson. They might also
see the motive behind the attack on Colonel Richardson.
The following is an excerpt from the editorial of October
13 in the paper alluded to:
“Seward is advocating an automobile road from that
point to Kenai lake. The proposed road would probably be
employed more for pleasure than anything else, to give
the inhabitants of the Resurrection bay town a chance to
take an auto ride occasionally. Before constructing any
roads for mere pleasure, the Alaska road commission will
do well to give roads and trails that are necessary to the
development of the country. If the Seward people must
have an auto ride, let them take the auto car on the rail
wav line.”

RATES NEEDED ON THE
RAILROAD TO OPEN COAL
Alaska has the coal.
It will soon have a railroad to the
coal.
Congress has passed a leasing law
for development of coal mines.
Consumers need the coal.
Jiut most likely Alaskans will con
tinue to buy British Columbia coal for
some time. Mr. Albert Johnson, con
gressman from Washington, who ha>
been to the westward says that the.
members of the engineering commis
sion have no authority to make any
rates.
Naturally those taking leases for 1
coal before they spend a few thousand .
or few million dollars in opening up;
coal want to know what it will cost
them to get it hauled to tidewater.
They must expect to compete with
coal and California oil and transpor
tation is one of the main essentials of
cost.
Since the engineers have powers
only to build railroads and not make
rates, it will be necessary to get
through legislation from Congress be
fore any guarantee of rates can be as
sured coal and other shippers. -Ju
