SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 1915.
Some federal officials, petty and otherwise, in remote territories like
lhi>, often seem to got into their noodles the utterly fallacious idea that they
are gods almighty. They should always be reminded by Ihe people collect
ively and individually and by the press that is supposed to express the
opinions of the people that the people themselves are masters and on them
and them alone lies the responsibility for government. The newspaper that
fails to hold and propagate this idea is just failing in its duty. Whenever
it is seen that any official is taking upon himself airs that befit some (
dinky eastern potentate it is about time to tell him where to get off*. There
is nothing in all the world so well calculated to reduce the respect of the j
public #or established authority as the suspicion that those placed temporar
ily in authority are using this brief period of power partially. This is what
causes the lynching horrors ami mob law and this is what makes people so
often lose faith in democracy—the democracy which is supposed to be govern
ment of, for and by the people but it is too often the government of the
proverbial beggar who, when placed on horseback, rides to the devil. By
the establishment of democratic government in the l nited States of America
the people were intended to be the rulers and the people should always see
to it that they ABE the rulers.
Seward ought to have some sort of a public library for the winter months. :
Just about the time when the choice of this city as the terminal of the gov
ernment railroad became certain there was a rumor to the effect that a lady,
whose name is the same as that of an institution now established here, con
templated the giving of funds for a library or something of that kind but
nothing more has been heard of it. Dawson has a Carnegie library which is
a splendid addition to the city and enables lots ot people to pass away idle
evening hour* pleasantly and to the best advantage. With the growth that
is bound to be Seward’s from this time forward we shall be able to sup
port such a place and there is no use in waiting to begin the preliminary
work of asking.

GRAND ARMY TO MARCH
PAST PRESIDENT AGAIN.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept. 0.—
Many of the veterans of the war
which threatened the nation in 1861
1865 will answer the roll call for the
last time when the Grand Army of
the Republic gathers in this city for
the Forty-ninth annual encampment
and Fiftieth anniversary of the Grand
Review, September 27-October 2..
Most of them are seventy years or j
more and they are fast passing off *
life’s stage.
Undoubtedly it will be the iast
great rennion of Civil war veterans
and as such every effort is being made 1
by the officers of the G. A. R., the cit- •
izens’ committee of Washington, the j
president of the United States and
high officials of the war and navy de
partments to make it an event which
will live in memory until the Iast j
veteran responds to the final sum
mons.
Fifty years ago the proud veterans
of Grant and Sherman’s mighty
armies marched in review before
President Johnson. On September
21* those of that vast legion who still
live will commemorate the event and
pay homage to their absent comrades
by passing for the last time before
the nation’s chief.
As the thin lines which now repre
sent the solid ranks of ’65 start on
their last pilgrimage through historic
Pennsylvania avenue at their head
will be Col. George A. Bosley. It
will be a proud moment for him, for
he will know that of all heroes of the
nation’s history, to him belongs *
distinction never before enjoyed by
any American soldier.
When the first Grand Review pass
ed before the presidential stand the
Twenty-fifth Iowa regiment of Sher
man’s army led the victorious hosts,
and at their head rode Lieutenant- j
Colonel Bosly. Since that time many
have ceased to answer “here" to the
roll call, but Colonel Bosly will enjoy
the honor of being the first and last
to lead his comrades before the com
mander-in-chief of the nation’s army
and navy.
Since 1866 forty-six men have en
joyed the honor of being selected as
the highest officer of the Grand Army, i
but of that number all but seventeen j
have passes! the last muster. Wil- ■
liam Warner of Kansas City, Mo., is j
the dean of the past living com
manders, having occupied that office
in 1888.
Forty thousand men will march
through Pennsylvania avenue be
tween the United States Capitol and
the White House, September 29, and
thus commemorate the Fiftieth an
niversary of the Grand Review of the
veterans of the Civil War after their .
triumphant return from the war.
HUTCHINSON FORESEES
GREAT CITY HERE.
In a letter to the Gateway today,
Former Governor Joseph H. Hutchin* ;
son predicts that Seward will be a
really great city. He places Resur-,
rection Bay on a par with the harbors
of San Francisco and Seattle, the
three of which he believes to be
the three great and only ports on the
western coast of the Lnited States.
He also expresses the belief that Se-1
ward will be made a real city beauti-;
ful by the government.

BOY BANDIT HANGED.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 3.—Earl
Loomis, aged 20, dropped to his death
on the Folsom prison gallows today,
paying the penalty for the murder of j
Mrs. Marie Holcroft in Sacramento.
Loomis, enacting for the first time
the part of a bandit, attempted to
hold up the ice cream parlor of which
Mrs. Holcroft was proprietor. Walk
ing into the store he shouted “Give
me the money!” The woman hastily
grabbed a revolver and Loomis fired
the bullet from his revolver piercing
Mrs. Holcroft’s heart. As she stag
gered she fired at the bandit and the
bullet tore out Loomis’ right eye.
He applied at the city hospital for
treatment and the crime was at once
fastened upon him.
