NAMING NO NAMES
Now about this city election. The Gateway does not
propose to take sides with any man against any other
man. Every candidate is well known to the people of
Seward. In fact it is impossible for a person to live for
any length of time in a community where everyone is ac
ouainted to a greater or less degree with every one else,
without the good points and short comings of all becoming,
well known. i
There is evidence that this will l>e a warm contest,
and that no stone will be left unturned and all the little
tricks called into play to elect the RIGHT man, each voter
reserving to himself the privilege of stating who is right.
This is a good sign, for it is an indication of spirit and
rivalrv. A town where there is onlv one ticket is certain- j
*
iy a dead burg.
Bear this thing in mind, however. Although this j
election is undoubtedly a matter of life and death, and1
considering as true the claim of some that we are doomed |
to go to the bowows unless-- is elected;
(rights reserved to the reader to fill in this blank), there;
will be less to forget after it is over if you omit calling the j
other fellow names or saying that he is guilty of arson,!
murder and highway robbery. Just let it go with the;
statement that you think he is “unfit for the place, ’ or
“not so good a man for the job” as the fellow whose name
you wrote in above.

WANTED A BALL GROUND
—
Development of Seward’s ball park is one of the vital |
issues before Seward right now, for good sportsmanship ^
and an opportunity for engaging in out door sports is one i
of the most important items in the welfare of any com
munity.
This is a subject on which candidates for council and j
mayor might well be sounded as to their opinions.
0 CANNOT DAUNT ALASKANS
If those eastern faddists who believe the human race
is deteriorating could come to Alaska they would find that
the genus homo has lost none of its pristine vigor, and
still remains undaunted in the face of obstacles and hard
ships that would put a down-easter out of the running.
A few days ago a lady living about twenty miles from Val
dez desired to come to town to do some shopping. She
could not take a car, nor could she order a team hitched to
a barouche or victoria and drive in. For one thing the
conveniences of modern civilization were not handy, and
if they had been the six or eight feet of snow intervening
between her and the bargain counter would have rendered
them useless.
But nothing daunted, the little day who is somewnat
slight and frail, stepped into her snowshoes and hit the
trail for town. Think of the modern, easy-living, soft
woman of the states walking twenty miles on snowshoes
to get to town and a store! Imagine any of the young men
of this cigarette-smoking, gum-chewing period, being
forced to walk that distance to secure some necessity or to
visit with friends! It is impossible. The effete east does
not produce this kind of woman.
Mushing all day through the heavy drifts this sturdy
sample of Alaskan womanhood passed the night with a
friend, and after doctoring up her badly blistered feet,
owing to her being compelled to wear a heavy pail of
New
