THANKSGIVING DAY
Tomorrow is the recognized day of
thanks of the American people Its
eonception dates to a time when hu
manity was far removed from the
present day environments. But
•’thanks” are due tomonow the same
as they were years ago. If one hasn’t
anything else to be thankful for—just
give thanks that you have breath
sufficient in your body to say
“thanks.”
The Gateway will not be published
tomorrow all employees be afforded
the full day to do as they like.
OUR SUBSTITUTES
It was formerly the privilege in
time of war, for those who were
drafted for service to employ a sub
stitute to go to the front in their
place. It is very probable that the
substitute in many instances did bet
ter service at the front than the man
who sent him would have done, yet
there was some odium clinging about
the reputation of a man who hired a
substitute to do his actual fighting.
Conditions have now changed. No
substitutes are hired by those called
to the colors, but by another spring
the Ameiican people who remain at
home by fotc** of necessity will have
possibly a million substitutes in
France ottering their lives in the de
fense of those who are for various
reasons compelled to remain a*home.
The aid of those who remain at
home is absolutely essential to the
>uccess of those who have gone
abtoad, hence repeated calls are made
upon all of us to contribute to the
comfort and success of those who are
enduring the hardships of trench life
on the battle field. Among those in
France now, some actually engaged
in facing the enemy, many others be
ing drilled for service, are hundreds
and thousands of young men who
have never before been far from the
places of their birth, and in order to
make life a little more cheerful for
all these our substitutes, we are con
tributing to the Red Cross, and in ad
dition to hospital supplies are also
asked to furnish money to make up
one hundred packages composed ol
useful articles for the soldiers at the
front. In doing this we are not only
adding to their comfort and efficiency,
but we are also making for the con
tinued safety of our homes.
Frompt action on our part is as
important to the success of the sol
diers at the front as is their quick
and unerring movements in an attack
upon the enemy. What we do for our
substitutes leaves no odium upon the
reputation of those giving the aid,
but on the other hand contributes
inuneasurably to the success ot what
we believe is essential in making the
world a safe place in which to live.
* Lot us do our part as completely
•iid promptly as our circumstances
will permit.
Vierxaaay sowed the wind of revolu
tionary radicalism in Russia. How
long will it be until Germany reaps
the whirlwind?
Many will be thankful tomorrow if
it is a “windless day/'
The plumber has begun his annual
chuckle of gke. for the busy little

Nothing is worthier of patronage

SI LZER S LEADERSHIP
(Juneau Empire)
The nomination of Charles A. Sul-j
zer for Delegate to Congress, and the;
consequent selection of him for the I
leadership of the Alaska Democratic
party, was in response to a demand I
tha *»«ri b«* said to bo unanimous.
As • * t became known that he.
*
would accept the nomination and at
tendant leadership, there was rejoic
ing among the Democrats of everyj
Judicial Division. Xo convention any
where at any time was more nearly \
rt -pensive to public opinion than thr
convention which nominated Mr. Sul
That Mr. Sulzer is today recogniz-'
ed with practical unanimity as the
leader of the Wilson administrative
forces in-Alaska and that enthusiasm
in hi* leadership is greater at this
moment than at any previous time
since it was thrust upon him are well
known facts. That is known every
where in Alaska and in Juneau bet
ter than anywhere. The attempts to
make it appear otherwise are not
meant for local consumption. They1
j are sky-rockets sent up with the hope
that they might be seen from afor.
Not only is this leadership recog
nized in Alaska, but it is recognized
by* the Democ-sitic National commit
tee and leaders in Washington.

\ ENH E is ONE OF . *
most histork spots
IN THE WHOLE WORLD!
Venice, one of the most historic
spots in all the world, now threaten
ed by the*, Huns, owes its origin to i
early Hun barbarian. It was founded
by refugees and risherfolk who
sought ah asylum from the Huns the
isolated shallows and mud banks of |
the lagoons, and its real birthday
1 dates from the year 425. Though
many of the priceless art treasures
have been removed to Rome, accord
, ing to press dispatches, it is impos
sible to remove architectural master
pieces represented in many of the fa
mous buildings. One can well believe
as indicated in the dispatches, that
Italians will not make a determined
defense within the walls of the city
' itself, for fear of damage from crash
i ing shells to treasures of history and
j art. Normally Venice has a civilian
population of nearly 200,000. Among
i the numerous buildings famed in his
tory is that of the Church of St.
Mark, which is unique among the
buildings of the world for its unpar
alleled richness of material and dec
oration. Under a foimer law every
j merchant trading to the East was
compelled to bring back something
for the adornment of the fane. In
addition to ait treasures, Venice has
become an important military center
' since the war, which no doubt is an
i additional incentive for the Huns to
try and occupy the place.

VERY BAD HABIT
Original Dances of Navy Man lias
Bad Effect Upon a Prominent
Seward Citizen but He Gets
There Just the Same
On Tuesday morning after the Sa
* urn’s dance, a prominent local attor
ney, who has been considered one of
the best dancers in Alaska, was dis
turbed in his work by considerable
noise in the next loom. The noise
constantly increased in volume and
finally came to a crisis in a set of
shuffling leaping fotsteps.
Patience having ceased to be a vir
tue this young attorney made an in
vestigation. He found that the noise
originated in the room of a prominent
local financier. This gentleman ap
peared to be imitating, at one and the
same time, both Vernon Castle and
Salome and accompanied the rythm
of his steps with various gestures
ami grimaces, which appeared all the
more wonderful inasmuch as he was
clad in pajamas.
As soon as he was intruded upon
he furnished tin* information that he
was only preparing for the Red Cross
dance and was trying to learn a few
of the unique and interesting move
ments of the wonderful exhibition of
terpischorean dexterity exhibited by
the Chief Engineer of the Saturn be
fore a select and appreciative aud
ience after the Saturn dance.
