SEWARD, ALASKA SATI RDAY, APRIL 1» 1910.
What extraordinary efforts murderer® make to avoid the consequences
of their crimes. The usual thing is to try to prove that thoj are afflict* d
with some sort of lunacy. This was tried by Thaw, Schmidt and now it is
being tried by Waite. Each of them had an entirely new brand of madness
to parade for the saving of his neck, but the fact probably is that every man
who commits deliberate murder is a lunatic. He certainly must be abnormal
in some way. If he kills for money he must be crazy to think that the money
will repay him for the abandonment of every personal feeling that makes
life tolerable, and if he kills through passion he is either not a real murderer
or he has been made a maniac temporarily by passion.
Every town in Alaska takes >purts once in a while to secure publicity.
Just now Nome is in the throes of a revival of chamber of commerce work
and is asking all the commercial bodies of the Territory to join for united
action. This is a very good proposal but the troub e is that the spasmodic
nature of the commercial bodies anti their work will probably prevent action
being taken. Skagway is also having a revival of the chamber of commerce
business and it appears to be doing very well, if it will only last. Our own
Seward had a double decked blow out a few months ago. New bodies are
like new men on a job—-they are full of energy lor a time and then gradually
the “pep” oozes out or differences come or a few disappointments are met
w ith in the effort to secure advantages, and a period of innocuous desuetude
comes until some one else gets it into his head that the whole thing must be
started up again.
It is only nineteen days until the Republican Territorial convention takes
place here and when the great question as to \\ickersham s intentions is set
tled. Shackleford has come out openly with the statement that he wants
Wickersham’s nomination but Wtekersham is silent, except to state that he
has no arrangement with the former national committeeman. The Delegate
has not repudiated the efforts to get him the nomination of the regulars and
it looks certain that he will not refuse it. This coming convention will make
our little municipal election look like thirty cents.
AN OLD MAN’S CURE
for the divorce evil
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CLEVELAND, March 25. —There
would be no divorce courts and more
golden wedding anniversaries if men
lived more in the open and brought
home to their wives the romance that
nature teaches them. That is the
opinion of Capt. Henry Brook. *2. and
his wife Sarah Ann, 70. who have just
celebrated their golden anniversary.
The captain still pilots a lake boat.
He was a sailor at 18.
“Sailing the lakes cultivate rom
ance.” says Capt. Breck. “If a man
brings that romance home it supplies
all the happiness of life. Fifty years
wedded ami 65 years lovers is our
record.”
WANTED: Competent maid for
general housework. Modern home.
Two in family. Swedish or German
preferred. Address Gateway office.
We are now baking 400 loaves of
fine bread every morning. Don’t for
get it is 4 loaves for 25 cents.

I ANNOUNCEMENT.
—
In announcing my candidacy for
councilman at the coming election, I
want the voters and taxpayers to i
know just how I stand on matters per-;
mining to the welfare of Seward.
I believe the standard of our public
! schools should be equal to any in Al
| aska.
I believe in public improvements on
a sane and business like plan. I do
not believe in squandering monies. I
believe in conducting the business of
tho city on the same conservative
plan in which business men conduct
their private affairs. Am opposed to
any Civic Improvement plan, involv
ing the expenditure of half million
dollars. Those conditions might exist
forty years hence, but we are not
ready yet nor i6 any city in Alaska.
I believe in bringing the assessed
valuation of Seward down to where
it justly belongs. I believe in a tax
levy sufficient to conduct the affairs of
the town for the ensuing year—our
assessed -valuation is too high.
1 believe in maintaining an up-to
date Fire Department and paying the
volunteers sufficiently to awaken a
new and greater interest in the de
partment. Their efforts have not been
fully appreciated.
Water For Fire Protection.
If the Council is aware of insuffici
ent water for fire protection it is up
to them to arrange for it, and if j
necessary, install an auxiliary salt I
water pumping station, an emergency
station. I believe that all Federal
property enjoying the protection of
the police and fire departments .
should bear their share of the burden
and up keep of these departments,
and with the proper co-operation with |
the Federal Commission this may be
obtained.
I believe in employing the oldtimers j
on all city work so far as is consist
ent, and paying not less than 50 cents
per hour therefor.
If the above platform appeals to
you, I ask your vote.
