SEWARD, M VSK WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1910.
What may be the greatest and most decisive battle in history is now
probably raging in France and not a word about it can we hear. Iht win
n»ng or losing of this struggle is sure to have a powerful moral effect.
\ erdun is the fortress which prevented the crown prince from advancing side
by side with von kluck and the rest when they made the groat sweep towards
Paris in the beginning of the war. According to military writers Paris
might have fallen if the whole German line could have advanced together
hut as Verdun held them, as a snag in a stream holds drifting weeds, the
right wing had to swing like the weeds instead of going straight forward.
That seems to bo the opinion expressed by the best authorities and the ques
tion now is whether Germany can remove the snag or be wrecked on it.
And here we must wait while the world's history is being made, and know
nothing about it.
The story of the intention to establish pulp mills in Alaska is one more
indication of the o ft - re pc ated tact that Alaska holds more pobsibilitios than
we had dreamed of. The story of the strike at Swentna is another of the
lirnls that will follow population. And yet there will be wise ones who will
say there is “nothing in sight." Them' is nothing in sight in any country
until the people come and look for it.
The result of the voting yesterday shows once again that the people are
always desirous of making changes which promise improvement. There was
,:0 campaign tarried on to speak about This paper published a copy of the
L.w and the people began to think for themselves. One of those little village
attempts was made to do what dolts call politics and to prevent the people
nvm voting in favor of separately elected officials but the result of the
, e;ir.4 ought to teach those statesmen to keep quiet. Let us hope that the
voting of yesterday means the breaking up of rings and the election of good
men just because they are good men, whoever they are. If there arc no red
1 errings drawn across the path of the public the public always does what
. right in the end. Cut out idiots and grafters and government by the peo
ple will be always of* and for the people.
Now comes the city election and we may expect to hear speeches about
the “poor man." This paper will prabably be accused one day of attacking
the Railroad Commission and the next day of being the mouthpiece of pre
datory wealth or something else. You see. whenever puny politicians want
to pretend to be the champions of one thing or another they must first show
that an enemy of their protege exists. To champion any cause that cause
must be in dire danger. Otherwise there would be no need of a champion,
of course. Therefore the enemy is created. If you want the support of the
Railroad Commission, for instance, all you have to do is to say that some
tody is attacking it and that you an' defending the poor, dear thing. If
you want help from the workingman you tell him that someone else is his
enemy and trying to annihilate him ami that you are standing between
him and utter destruction. There is no technical name for the sickness which
that kind of stuff produces. The only thing you can call it is nausea.

MOVIE STARS SEEN
MY ADMIRERS AT BALI
(Special to Gateway)
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—Five hun
dred stars of the Moving Picture Fir
mament will twinkle at the monster
Movie Mall in Madison Square Garder
here tonight. Theyil all be in cos
tume, too; and in the tiers upon tier*
of scats that mount multitudinoualy
roof ward will be packed the fans
whose sides have ached and whos*
tears have welled as one or the other
of their beloved favorites has played
upon their emotions to the tune of a
blundering orchestra or an old ham
strung piano. Mary' Pickford and
Charlie Chaplin, Theda Mara and Ray
mond Hitchcock, Mack Sennett and
Sidney Drew, Betty Nansen and Clara
Kimball Y'oung and just scads of
others will be there. Theyil come
from tho big Movie Cities on the
Pacific Coast by special trains and
they’ll flock to New York from every
other part of tho country they happen
to bo in; and the fans can just have
the time of their lives gloating over
them as they wander around on the
hoof” instead of on tho screen. Boys
and girls and men and women old and
young will have a chance to get a
good “closeup” and hear the voices
and maybe—maybe say something to
the actor or actress they have come
to idolize at the rate of ten or twenty
or two dollars and fifty cents per idol.
The actors and actorines will dance
and sing and make speeches and eat
and dance and sing and make some
more speeches until it’s just finally
wound up as a dazzling, frazzling,
grand Big Night. Most of the film
folk are here already and so are the
visiting fans, but others will arrive.
A combination of all the moving
picture concerns in the country is to
be thanked for tho idea of the Movie
Mall.

HENRY FORD.
Henry Ford has been called a jack
ass and a clown because he hired a
* ship and eailod across the sea to
■ stop the most frightful ©laughter the
r world has ever known. The big thing
1 in his action is not the question
’ whether he will or will not stop the
* war, but the fact that he is willing to
r try! It was by trying that he got
> where he is. Hut still he keeps on
* trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,
l in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
i is willing to undertake the greatest;
i job that ever fell to the lot of a
l human being in the world’s history.
■ He brushes aside the thousands of
I columns of newspaper criticisms, he
t ignore© the public utterance of so
called statesmen, he sets his face to
ward the most glorious goal that any
plan ever hoped to achieve—and goes
I nn hiu u’nv Trvino*.
So far, he is the only person who
i las taken a definite step toward end
■ ing the war. True it may not be the <
• right step, you get that by trying.
> The men who sit in swivel chairs and
; sneer and make funny jokes about
l that man Ford are not taking steps of
i any kind to end the war. The job
\ looks too big and too hopeless to
> them. It looks big to Ford and may
; bo it looks hopeless to him. But he’s
- got the nerve to try and spends his
. own money. Asking aid of no man.
■ VVhat a nation this would be, if each
: industry could be headed by a ford
> who was willing to try, what chance
; would any other nation under the sun
, have with us. What if more of us
t were willing to try and less of us
» were slaves of convention and
. creatures of habit. There is a word
: in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
> there. Never use it. Well we’ve been
i “Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and
r the Engineers that direct it, awaken
• to the fact that Seward is the Begin
■ ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads
j hi Alaska. In the meantime, wre have
i plenty time and help to serve you.
■ Best treatment, best price, and sure
■ ly the Best Goods.
