THE PRIMARIES ARE OVER
The Territorial primaries are over and politics can
now be forgotten for several months, at least. Charles
A. Sulzer has been renominated for Delegate to Congress
on tile Democratic ticket and William Maloneyjnust now
go "back to the mines” for he will perhaps lose his job,
the penalty for not leaving well enough alone and becom
ing the "boob" tool of former governor Strong, and a
little bunch of trouble raisers, disgruntled nothings ot
Juneau. "Hill” Maloney, as the Gateway has said prev-i
iously, is a great big, good natured fellow and he allowed
his big nature to get the best of his judgment and went
over to the side of the minority, in this case a woefully
weak minority. Charles A. Sulzer had a greater walk
away that the most sanguine realized but that was do to
the constant plugging for him by the most progressive
papers of the Territory, the hard work of his loyal friends
and also the votes of many Republicans who refuse to
swallow Wickersham, the duplicate candidate. Many in
Seward vesterdav handed out the same old talk “I told
you so and there was no need of putting up such a hard
ight for Sulzer." That is the wropg policy. If you have
anything to tight for, then tight and fight hard and to the
last. Constant dropping of water will wear away the
hardest substance. So in politics, constant plugging will
keep before the public the issue, the creation of proper
thought and then the ulitimate victory.
CLEAN OUT THE WEAK DEMOCRATS
Why has Secretary of Alaska Davidson been kept in
his position? Now the Democrats are rid of Strong, why
keep his henchman, a man equally as guilty of infraction
as the former governor? His attitude in the recent pri-j
mary election alone shows that he is another weak-kneed j

sister whoshould be slipped out to shift for himself, and
it is dollars to doughnuts that when he loses his fat salary,
he will do like others, pack up his cigar box of press not
ices, and hike along the trail to the states, bidding good
bye to Alaska. Alaska for Alaskans so let the sojourn
ers go and put in somebody who has made Alaska his home
and is going to remain here. Again there are others who
should be shifted out of their political jobs, then with the
faithful in, get down and work like trojans, cleanly and
with malice towards none.
Did you read the report in Wednesday’s Gateway re
garding the work accomplished during the past six
months of the local chapter of the Red Cross? If you
didn’t, dig up the paper and read it, for one can readily
be enlighted as to the many sacrifices that must have
been made by the Seward women to accomplish so much.
His successes over helpless Russia have intensified
Kaiser Bill’s swellhead. There’s only one cure for that
malady and it’s up to the rest of us to apply it. —(Charles

BOXING A BIG FEATURE IN
THE TRAINING OF SOLDIERS
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash. May 2 — “Any
thing that makes a soldier a better man is worth while
whether it is boxing or something else”, said Lieutenant
C. A. Rexroad, erstwhile pastor of the Lowell street Meth
odist Episcopal church of Butte, Montana., nnd now' chap
lain of the 316th Trains and Military Police.
Chaplain Rexroad admitted he is taking boxing les
sons from Wille Ritchie camp boxing instructor and he
expected to be able in a short time to show the boys of his
regiment a few blow's, along with spiritual advice, in his
office in the new' branch library established in the reg
iment.
Lieutenant Rexroad might well be termed a fight
ing parson and has no patience with the I. W. W. and Pro
German element of the northwest. He thinks no penalty
is too extreme for those lacking in loyalty to their
country. <
