WHAT THE PEOPLE LIKE.
If editors and cartoonists knew what the people liked,
and wanted to save themselves trouble, it would be an easy
matter to obtain popularity. All they would have to do
would be to follow in the well-beaten paths and serve to
the readers of the papers that which was certain to meet
with their commendation.
But the truth is, when an editor writes an article, or
a cartoonist makes a picture, it will bring bouquets or
bricks. And as a general proposition, neither editor nor
cartoonist cares whether it is flowers or stones that come
through the window—just so something comes.
Which observation is suggested by the statement of ai
cartoonist of a well known newspaper. He says that he
recently sat up late at night, making a cartoon which he
was sure would please a certain class of people. But when
it was printed in the paper, the class whom he hoped to
please fed offended, whereas he received letters of con
gratulation from an entirely different sourc. His exper
ience is that of practically all newspaper people.
Any newspaper worker had rather please his readers
than to displease them, of course. That is human nature.
Hut if he is afraid of displeasing some, he isn’t much ac
count around a newspaper office. For in a newspaper of
fice the feelings of the individual can not be considered,
and one who plays for popularity, rather than giving the
facts in pictures or editorial deduction, is lost. The news-1
papers print what they believe to be the truth; the car
toonist gives his conception of current events or his ideas
of situations that exist, and the editor comments accord
ing to the light he has—all sending their product out into
I the world for what it is worth, pleasing or displeasing as (
it may prove to be. But no newspaper worker knows in
advance what will please or displease.—(Juneau Empire.)

Secretary of the Interior Lane has acquiesed to the
I idea of the Shipping Board to build barges, tugs and slow
j steamers to bring north supplies for the government rail
' road and take return cargoes of coal south. Sounds good;
perhaps now machinery for coal mining can l)e sent north
j and within the next two or three years the tugs and
I»arges and slow steamers will have cargoes of coal. Sec
! retarv Lane must understand that a coal mine can not be i
opened over night and a “location” cannot become a mine:
1 purely from surface croppings.
| Anchorage will rejoice with Seward when the railroad
' is completed, says the Anchorage Weekly Democrat. Cer
tainly, Anchorage will rejoice! Why shouldn’t that town
l)ecome enthusiastic. Shut off from the world for five
months of the year, as it is now, when the railroad is com-;
pleted that town will have daily communication with a
real seaport and easy access through Seward to the Out
side.
j
By the way—why doesn’t the Alaska Railroad Record
contain the statement regarding employees at Anchorage
now with the A. E. C.? When there were several thous
and men at Anchorage or along that division figures were
printed in black type. Now that the Seward division has
about 500 men employed and ihe Anchorage division con
siderably minus that number, not a peep is pipped. Why
the wherefore?
The young ladies of the Hiking club deserve great
credit for giving a dance for the local chapter of the Red j
Cross and also much praise for turning into the treasury
of the Red Cross the tidy little sum of over $100. Go to it
girls for you have proven yourselves the candy kids.
Seward politicians should begin to get busy. Seward
has a Senator in the next legislature and should also have
one representative at least. Don’t let the snow melt un-1
der your feet, Democrats and Republicans, but get busy
at once.
Every pupil of the Seward Public School is a member
of the local chapter of the Red Cross. This item was con- i
tained in the school notes in the Sunday edition. Young
America is certainly imbibing the patriotic spirit of the
times.
