“Whom the gods would destroy they first drive mad.”
A man who has lived some time in Seward and who expects to leave us
pretty soon made the remark some evening* ago that the people of this
town are a good bunch. He is right. There isn’t a finer lot of people any
where. Sometimes some of us get irritated and raise Cain. Sometimes we
feel dull and raise—worse than Cain—we raise the place that Cain i* sup
posed to be living in. Sometimes we hear people using strong language
about the place as you will hear people using strong language about every
other place on earth, but. take it all and all, you can’t beat Old Seward and
its people. The more of them you know the more of them you like and the
more you know them the more you like them. Of course, each of us has
an enemy or more over whose discomfiture we could stand dry-eyed, but
rouse mit the few and remember the many.
Have you ever observed two prospecting partners with whom things are
not going well and how they scrap and growl continuously, and have you
seen the same men g«t a loving jag on and throw their arms around each
others necks when they hit the pay? If you have not observed this
phenomenon you have lod one of the finest lessons possible to direct you in
acocunting for the peculiarities of communities as well as the idiosyncracies
of individuals.
Half the world is at war and Seward, the terminal of a great railroad
system in the course of construction, a railroad which is being constructed
by one of the great governments of the earth—Sew*ard cannot tell whether
the map of the rest of the world is being changed or not It cannot tell
whether the president of the United States is alive or not. It cannot tell
whether this nation, its own country, has gone to war or not. If one of us
happened to take a trip to Siberia and came to a terminal of a railroad that
is being built by the Russian government, and if we found there no tele
graphic communication with Petrograd or any place else what should vve.
say? We should swell out our chests and say; “You bet if this was our old
United States we’d have cables and wireless and everything else.”

HENRY FORD.
Henry Ford has been called a jack
ass and a clown because he hired a
ship and sailed across the sea to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
in his action is not the question
whother he will or will not stop the
war, but the fact that ho is willing to
.
try! It was by trying that he got
where he is. But still he keeps on
trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
is willing to undertake the greatest
job that ever fell to the lot of a
human being in the world’s history.
He brushes aside the thousands of
I columns of newspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so
called statesmen, he sets his face to
ward the most glorious goal that any
man ever hoped to achieve—and goos
un his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person wno
ias taken a definite step toward cnd
! 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
that man Ford are not taking steps of
; any kind to end the war. The job
1 looks too big and too hopeless to
them. It looks big to Ford and may
be it looks hopeless to him. But he’s
got the nerve to try and spends his
own money. Asking aid of no man.
What 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 w’ith us. What if more of us
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
“Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and
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
in Alaska. In the meantime, we have
plenty time and help to serve you.
Best treatment, best price, and sure
I ly the Best Goods.
