The execution of thirteen negro soldiers and sentenc
ing of others to life for rioting in lexas which resulted in
several murders lieig committed snows what the l nited
States does under military discipline. There is another
matter which the United States must soon act upon and
that is the death sentence for G. >'t > spies. Just sup
pose for an instance that an Auk . Una in Berlin would
have been caught with the goods like the Germans hate in
New York City and other places, and what would have
}>een the result? “Shot" and then arguments afterwards.
Pro-Germans who are acting spies should also he elimin
ated from this sphere or else support the country they live
in. Execution is a hard sentence hut in times ol war exe
cution is necessary.
Two new business enterprises opening in Seward in,
two days speaks volumes in faith in the future of the city}
and judging from the unbiased reports from Anchorage
Seward is doing more legitimate business in one day than
the Cook Inlet burg does n a week, in proportion to the pov;
illation. , |
National prohibition will be before the House of Rep
resentatives next Monday acc >rd*ng to Associated Press
dispatches to the Gateway. The Senate has already tlis-'
posed of tlie constitutional amendment and the trend in,
the House seems almost cert:! i that the prohibitionists}
will carry that law making body also. As one 1'qlor deal-1
er in Seward said the other ni Hit “l wish it was the first!
of January now and we were dry,” just so thousands of i
other men engaged i:i the liquor traffic are holding the
same views on nat'onal prohibition.
The placing of armed guards at wharves in the large
cities of the United States, especially the sea ports, is a
wise move. And soon all ports including Seward, will
have guards stationed upon them and the sooner the bet
ter- .... .-JIM
.
So Jioumania has decided to quit the war and has sc-1
cured a three months’ armistice with the Germans. Oh i
v.ell—the United States will not he forced to lend money
to that nation at least.
Try to secure a desirable house in Seward to rent
and then you will realize that few citizens are even going
to the Outside for the holidays.
tr
Every Alaskan in attendance at the Officers' Train
ing Camp in San Francisco received a commission. Speaks
pretty well of this little old territory of ours.
Mackensen is having trouble in “hitting the pike" in
to Venice.
It will come hard on New England to have pork and
beans placed on the prohibited list, just for one day.

Russia seemingly is staging revolutions for a contin
uous performance.
Seattle* has a chuckle coming Spokane has also been
told to clean up by the War department.
NEW LEASING
UNIT CREATED
AT MATANUSKA
Leasing unit No. 20, comprising j
700 acres, has been created in the Ma->
tanuska coal field by the department
of the interior, according to advices
received today by the land and indus
I trial department of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission from Herbert
A. Meyer, assistant to the secretary of
; the interior.
The new unit is technically describ
ed as* the south half of the southwest
quarter of section two; the south half
of the ^southeast quarter and the
southeast quarter of the southwest
quarter of section three; the east
half of the northwest quarter, the
northeast quarter and the north half
of the southeast quarter of section 10,
and the northwest quarter and the
north half of the southwest quarter
| of section eleven, townsite nineteen;
i north, range three east, Seward mcri- j
dian.
The department of the interior will
receive applications for lease of this
I land from December 15 to January 15
1 when the applications will be adver
tised for a period, of thirty days un
der the leasing regulations.
Some time ago parties in Califor
nia applied to lease these lands, but
as the lands were not surveyed they
could not, under the law, be leased,
j Immediate action was accordingly ta
j ken to have the lands surveyed, and
they have now been made available
and subject to lease under the law.
The land is located between Eska
and Granite creeks, east of leasing
unit No. 7, which is now being operat
ed by the Alaskan Enginceriny com
mission.

SINN IK IN AGENTS
KEEP POT BOILING
IN EMERALD ISLE
DUBLIN, Dec. 12. — The Sinn Fein
agitation continues to steam without
boiling over into actual vebellion. The
purpose of the Sinn Fevers is allcg-i
ed to be to keep the nerves of the
government on edge, to produce th<*
impression that they meditate very
dreadful deeds, and at suitable mom
ents to provoke the government ac
tion as an evidence that England is
holding down Ireland by force. Their
notion is said to be that the military
measures taken against them preju
dice England in neutral countries, and
in Russia.

THE JITNEKR RAMBLES
By B. Ez.
******************
Come, good people, gather round
The Jitney Momb is leaving town.
The tall slim guy took the hunch
And ho is leaving this awful bunch.
He is not going hv boat
l or that got his very goat
But he is going to hit the trail
Traveling by foot, like any snail.
\V»* roasted him too strong
He’s going where he belongs
Right up to a creek called Kern
Where alleged poetry he’ll learn
The Seward climate is no good
He’s going where they burn wood
But anyway he is going, gone
And nobody will go his bond
We admit that this is rotten rot
But anyway Momb has gotten, got.
Make It 13 Million.
