WELCOME HOME, CHAMPS!
In the language of Manager Hoben’s telegram to the
fans who couldn’t go: "\\ e done it and we can do it again.
Seward’s victorious ball team, three times champion
of Western Alaska, is due home tonight over the line of the
government railroad, together with a large part ot our
population and much pelf.
And then we are going to celebrate.
There will be a big dance at the Arctic Brotherhood
hall tomorrow night, which will undoubtedly be the best
attended affair of its kind in Seward’s history.#
There will probably l>e a lot of alibi work over on the
Inlet during the rest of the season, and they are welcome
to all the fun possible out of the post mortem, in the mean
time, Seward will be busy with more serious things.
It is right and proper that now and then sports should
come to the front and clear up the mind of more sordid
things. Good sportsmanship makes for better manhood.
A good sportsman means not only a winner but a sports
man, who cati take a beating now and then in good spirit,
come back for more, and win again.
Seward won because it had good material, good spirit
and team work. Anchorage was handicapped by bicker
ing among her managers and players, but showed true
sportsmanship by winning the third game after taking
two beatings.
Those interested in ball see the possibility of a four
team league next year, with Seward, Anchorage, Mata
nuska and some fourth team yet to be placed, which is a
good idea and should be carried out.

POLITICS IIE HANGED
According to Washington Correspondent Gilson Gard
ner, Congress has decided that Woodrow Wilson is candi
date for a third term of President.
Of course, to spring national politics or to permit na
tional politics to have any bearing on action at Washing
ton, at this time, would be little short of sedition and down
right villainy, but, nevrtheless, a condition is approaching
such as has, on several occasions, since Washington’s
time, set the nation boiling, politically, regardless of all im
portant non-political matters on hand.
This condition will be aggravated, in the case of Wil
son. The chief objection to a third term is danger of au
tocracy. President Wilson not only has all the power of
official patronage but practically absolute control of our
martial, financial, business and domestic interests. In fact,
he’s already more kinds of an autocrat than was Grant,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, or any other two-termer.
But, just now, there’s more‘sense and fun in discuss
ing war potatoes and beans than the campaign of 1920.—

Cove, near Tee Harbor, by a native
named Wallace, and identified by gold
teeth in the left side of her jaw. by
a striped night gown, and by a shoe.
The verdict of the jury was that she
lost her life through suicide.

Having for sale at a most reason
able price some of the choicest land in
Resurrection Valley I therefore invite
inquiries from those that contem
plate the purchase of any number of
acres. The success with which all of
those who have already bought
acreage in the Ole Martin homestead
are meeting in cultivating these lands
is the best evidence you can secure of
what the soil can do.
