A MATCHLESS SERVICE
Beginning Monday the Gateway has been reciving the
Alaska service of the Associated Press, this paper having
become a member of that greatest news organization.
We sometimes wonder if manv of our readers, while
perusing the news of the day as they sit by the evening
lamp, pause for a moment to reflect upon what a wonderful
organization must be the agency which, through the alert
eyes, ears and mental and physical activities of thousands
of trained observers and reporters in all parts of the world,
assembles, records and by the most speedy means available
in this day of lightning-rapid transmission conveys to mil
lions of readers every e"ent of importance that has occur
red on the globe during the preceding twenty-four hours
“from Greenland’s icv mountains to India’s coral strands,’’
or, Puck like, encircling it at the equator. For this match
less service, so extensive, so costlv that were one individual
called upon to pay, the wealth of Midas would not suffice,
the public is indebted primarily to The Associated Press;
an association to which each newspaper reciving its serv
ice, including the Gateway, pays its proportion. The man
ner in which the news of the day is obtained, the toil, the
danger, the romance, the thrill experienced by its agents,
h ould make fascinating reading, and would fill many bulky
volumes. It should be appreciated, for it is matchless and
it is for your benefit.

FILIPINOS ARE LOYAL
At Kenai, the important fishing settlement on the in
let, a militia company iias been organized, composed of
about forty Filipinos. Every evening, these Filipinos have
a drill. Every member of the company has seen service,
having been former members of the government constabu
lary in the Philippine islands. They are employed in the
caneries at Kenai, coming to Alaska in the spring and go
ing out in the fall. It is the plan of this Kenai company to
offer its services to the government, when the fishing sea
son ends, and the members take advantage of every leisure
hour to perfect themselves for the duties that lie before
them.
We should say that these patriotic little Filipinos are
setting an example that might be followed by those of us
whites who are doing nothing toward preparing ourselves
for what the future might bring forth.—Ex.
