SEWARD. ALASKA. MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1915.
The funniest mistakes are made sometimes by American newspapers in
dealing with European affairs. One paper calls Balfour, member ot the
British inner war cabinet, “Lord Balfour." One paper recently called Sofia
the capital of Serbia and more recently still another paper said Lord Beres
ford was formerly thi head of the British army. It is not to be expected that
one who never lived in Europe should know better but the trouble is that j
such mistakes are usually made by newspapermen who try to fake news and
get beyond their depth. The first lesson that a newspaperman should learn is
to leave alone any subject he knows nothing about.
The writer of a letter which appeared in the Gateway last Saturday makes,
perhaps, the bes^ comment on the ice conditions at Anchorage which has yet
been received. The writer of the letter is a very prominent merchant in the
Knik district. In speaking of Anchorage he described it as “the open port,
which is froze up.”
The chief center of the war is now located at what might be called the
color line of the world. The Dardanelles and the Agean Sea are really the
separating line. Have you ever noticed it? The people there are brown.
As one looks north the ioJor becomes lighter and lighter ami as one looks
south it becomes darker and darker.
Whenever a newspaper secs that publicity might serve the public the
paper should do its duty. A newspaper is not to be regarded as the voice of
any one person or even of several persons interested in a newspapei. It
should express the opinion which is tormed by contact with the people. It
is noticeable that in all cases the editorial expressions of newspapers are
quoted to show the opinion of the respective countries in which they are
published. This is because the papers are supposed to be edited by men who
are. intellectually, politically and otherwise, representative of the people
whom they serve. Newspapers are really the reflectors of public opinion.

/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenbrun s*,aj Tailoring
Say “Shcyne-Brun”
will appeal to you at this time because it’s tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes

House that President Wilson did not fa
vor any movement to oppose Represent
attve Claude Kitehin of North Carolina,
the Democratic leader In the house of
representatives, for opposing the admin

Kitchin’s recent letter, in which he sale
that instead of being a passive oppo

would use all his power to defeat It, has
aroused resentment Some southern rep
resentatives who warmly supported Mr

expressing Indignation. Rut these tnen
discount rumors that Mr. Kitehin will
be supplanted. He was selected for the
