SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1015. j
“Hope springs eternal in the human breast” but the very knowledge of
the truth of that phrase sometimes casts the shadow of doubt over us, for
we feel that the eternal quality of hope proves its creation to arise from
some spiritual or mental quality rather than from the firm foundation that
the thing hoped for is promised or likely.
The abov * is a hightoned way of saying that we are all hoping again
that next year will be a great one for Seward, but that after hoping so much
ami so often we might be inclined to come to the conclusion that we are ped
dling to ourselves.
However, it looks this time as though we can confidently look forward
to a great and good and prosperous nineteen hundred and sixteen. The vor\
fact that over three millions of dollars are to be spent w ithin about a hundred
miles of the city is enough to promise at least one splendid season. Such an
amount of work alone would be sufficient to bring prosperity to any town of
this class and Seward has far more to look forward to than mere railroad
work.
No. this t»me the hope i.> not that which is sent to us, as the wind is
tempered to tne shorn lamb, to save us from the gloom which accompanies
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, but it is a hope resting firmly
on the foundation of a perfect confidence that at long last the dawn of
Seward's success is about to dispel the shadows of the long, weary night.
Prohibition seem- to be getting to be near the rage all over the world
just now and it is a subject which interests everyone. It interests the man j
because le m*gh; 'ike his cup, to use the poetic phrriso and it interests the!
woman because she doesn't like her man to indulge. In various places we can
see thousands of very good people who are opposed to prohibition and this
makes us pause* to think. Such people would probably never oppose prohibi
tion if they relieved that in doing so they wer» performing an act of im
morality. There must be something else behind their action, and this some
thing else is probably the feeling that you can never make mankind moral by
legislative acts. It is a positive fact that any man who is a man has some
bad habits. In pilfering the forbidden fruits our first parents inoculated us
with the germ of evil. There are times when a man, who has not become
a mollycoddle. fe*!s that he has to let loose the restraint ig sw ings of propriety
and indulge in something. If he does not follow the course of least resistance
and step up against an inviting bar what will he do? Dear ladies, you can
not place a halo about the heads of your hubbies or attach leathered sails
to his shoulders. If you succeed in making your district dry and managed to
give vour men pairs of angelic wings they would only use them to \oln!ane
into the next state where there was something left to while away some
tedious hour when even your own charms fail.
! ❖ LOCAL MASONS *
| ❖ ELECT OFFICERS *
❖ - *
There was a good attendance last
night at the meeting of the Masonic
Club.
The breathern discussed at some
length the advisability of arranging a
Masonic lodge in Seward. The pro
posal met with unanimous favor, but
for several reasons it was deemed ad
visable to defer organization for a
short time. Nevertheless it was de
cided to take the preliminary steps
for the institution of a lodge in order
that no time may' be lost when the
club does decide to organize itself in
j to a regular Masonic lodge.
Masconically, the Territory of Alas
ka is under the jurisdiction of the
grand lodge of State of Washington,
while the city of Seward is under the
jurisdiction of the Masonic lodge ol
Valdez.
An important event of the evening
was the elections of officers for the
ensuing year, which resulted as fol
lows: Leslie Cramer, president; Dr.
J. M. Sloan, vice-president; Leon C. j
Hooker, secretary; Sydney Anderson,
Treasurer. General Committee;
Hugh Dougherty, Leon Urbach, Rev.
Edward H. Molony. The new officers;
are all men high in the councils of the
fraternity. Mr. Cramer, the new
president is past master of * promin-1
ent lodge in Washington, D. C, All
the officers and committeemen, with j
possibly one exception, are Masons ol
the 32nd. degree.
Hereafter the Club will meet twice
a month. The next meeting will be
held on the evening of Thursday,
December 23. The club now has 70 i
members.

The Joys and Clothes
4 of Yuletide <§
/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 o: 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.

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
