Entered as second class matter at the postoffice. Seward. Alaska. ^
THE CITY COUNCILS of Cordova and Valdez have made themselves tne
mediums for giving their towns publicity ami they have done so with the
willing permission of the taxpayers. A
PUBLICITY IS PROFITABLE city council ought really be one of the
most useful bodies for the advertising
of its city in addition to its usefulness in the regular province. It is provided
with the very best opportunities in every sense. It is representative of all the
people of all classes and it has a machinery which could be brought into use
without additional burdens on anyone. Of course, before using the money
of the citizens for an} other purpose than that for which it was collected, or
for any other than absolutely necessary expenses of city government, it would
be only right to sc ure the opinion of the public generally, but it is hardly
likely that taxpayers would object in the least to a little judicial expenditure
if it promised to increase the value of the property on which their taxes were
being paid.
Seward at the present time stands at a point in its career where adver
Using might mean an incalculable aid. Indeed there has hardly ever been
anv town at any time placed in a position where a little work and money
might be used to more tremendous advantage. Everyone knows the reason
why and it is unnecessary to go over the same old ground. All the tax
payers of the city know that only some extraordinary circumstances can
prevent this city from growing to very much greater proportions and mak
ing their property almost infinitely more valuable. To render such a cir
cumstance impossible ought to be an ambition worth fulfilling and it is re
spectfully suggested to the council that it might find a means of fulfilling
such an ambition if it looks around among the people to discover what the
general public would like to have done in the matter.
THE RESULT of the coming elections in Alaska will depend very largely
on the women of the territory. For the first time they will exercise the
franchise and their entrance into the arena may
NOW THE WOMEN alter altogether the complexion of affairs should
they decide tor any reason on any particular sort
of candidate.
But, on the othet hand, unless some question in which women, as women,
are deeply interested should come up the likelihood is that their enfranchise
ment will have no material effect at all, as women usually vote with their
husbands, or, perhaps, it would be safer to say. men usually vote as their
uives vote. Either way it comes to the same in the end. As a rule giving
votes to women means giving two votes to one married man and giving the
single man the worst of it—as he always gets in everything.
«Since the granting of the vote to women in Alaska, it is worth noting,
they have not seemed to bother their heads about it in the least. There has
never been a meeting of the fair sex for any purely political purpose in the
territory but the probability is that after the excitement of their first elec
tion this will be all changed and no one need be surprised if they get a little
bit more busy than many mere men had bargained for.
