SEW ARD, VLASKA. Tl KSDAY. DECEMBER It, 1915.
It is a strange psychological fact that men and institutions feel compli
mented when noticed by the prominent even when the prominent call them
dishonest and liars and worse.
It is hard to understand how a lot of men who have made national
names could have consented to take part in the Ford expedition. Is the
cause provincialism of which Kuropoan writers accuse the Lnited states so
often? When the press associations telegraph all over the world the fact
that Ford wirelessed to the belligerent nations to cull a truce they must
have surelv been joking. It is impossible that a man who hud horse sense
enough to make money could have have made such an idiot of himself. Those
telegrams must be the result of that sense of humor which no one can deny
the Americans, anyhow.
Anchorage seems sometimes to be grieved at Seward. The people o\ei
there have got it into their heads that we say the nastiest things about them
and their city and harbor. The Gateway, anyhow, has been careful to give
the news just as it is and not to go any further. The truth is bitter some
times, of course, but no one can very well say that Anchorage waters are
clear of ice and that ship.- are sailing in there so fast that the longshoremen
have to work thirty-six hours a day to clear otf the freight. It it would be
possible to say that there would be no necessity for doing so as Anchorage
itself would advertise the fact to the world aiui then some. Dear Anchorage,
we love you so much that we won’t tell lies about you. Hoping you teel the
same. Yours Truly.
But in all seriousness. Anchorage and Seward should act together. Let
each fight its corner and fight good and hard. Just now ttu* commercial or
ganizations of both towns are acting together to get that trail fixed and this
in the most amicable spirit. If we have spats once in a while that is no reason
why we should feel like going to the mat. It is pleasant to sec our neighbors
so much alive and so strenuously kicking. It we remind the citizens of that
town that Seward was named the ocean terminal let them not blame us.
President Wilson and Franklin K. Lane gave us the cue. It anyone should
feel peeved it is Seward, for Seward was here first.
A newly published paper in Valdez quotes the Gateway as saying that
Mr. Wickersham was supported by some of the worst elements in Alaskan
life. It stopped there and did not go further and tell, what was the truth,
that the Gateway also .>aid the delegate is supported by some of the best
men in the territory. A half truth is the most cowardly kind of a lie and the
paper which tries to make a living by such practise is one more example ot
the publications that disgrace the calling. There are two kinds of news
papers; One tries to be conservative and decent; the other tries to be yellow
to cater to the lower tastes as they could never hope to reach higher.
❖ GATEWAY ATTACKED *
❖ ON BOTH SIDES * ,
❖ - ❖
In the last two weeks two new
“newspapers” have been established
i on this coast and both of them have
filled the greater portion of their
space attacking the Seward Gateway.
One is from Valdez and another is a
weird publication which has just been
vomited from Anchorage. The latter
“journal” attacks the Gateway—at- j
tucks the Gateway—attacks—oh, can
you guess ?—it attacks the Gateway
for upholding the Railroad Engineer- j
ing Commission, or what this new I
star in the journalistic firmament
calls the “cheap commission!”
Only a short time ago another of
the same class attacked the Gateway
for an imaginary attack ON that j
same commission! It showed how the
Gateway editorial column was being
used at Washington to bust up every
thing connected with the railroad! I
Ye Gods! Which are we going to be
lieve?
If either one of those three sheets
had said a word of praise for the
Gateway every man. connected with
the Gateway would fall on his knees
and begin to examine his conscience
to discover what crime he had been
guilty of to draw laudations from
those pulling pen-wipers whose ignor
ance alone enables them to use their
nerve to soil good paper.
There are some clean and good
newspapers in Alaska, Amongst
them stands out brightly the Juneau
Empire, a paper which is a credit to
the territory. On this desk at this
moment is the last issue to hand of j
that paper and it speaks of this pap
er editorially as “the very able Sew
ard Gateway.”
Pule away, you puny and putrid
pups. Attacked by you and praised
bv the decent, the Gateway feels that
it can proceed with a clear and easy
conscience.

The Joys and Clothes
<§ of Yuletide 4
..mil.....I....MMmMIIMtMMMMMIHHIIittMIIHMM.mMM.IM
/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 of 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.
Schoenbrun ssss Tailoring
Scty **Shayne-Brun**
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
