SEWARD. ALASKA, FRIDAY. MARCH 21 1910.
The suggestion that a woman or two should be elected to pluces on the
city council is well worthy of consideration. In the first place their presence
would have the effect of cutting out the beastly vulgarit> so often rampant
in so-called municipal governing bodies and it is certain that their presence
would make for honor and honesty and propriety in the conduct of the iit> s
afTairs. It is another question whether women should ever bring themselves
to take part in public afTairs at all.
Talking about vulgarity of certain phases of public life, there is no
more disagreeable experience than to find oneself compelled to associate with
the semi-civilized even in an indirect way. You never know what undignified
experience might come your way. Women should be particularly careful in
this respect.
One of the worst ways in which to “do politics” is to speak out in public
places where you might very often “rasp” the feelings of some of the listen
ers. One do \s no good this way and makes life just a little more disagree
able than it Otherwise might be.
The Gateway was told this morning that in all probability the Govorn
iru nt Board of Conciliation and Arbitration will hold quite a session here at
the conclusion of its work in Anchorage. There are evidently some reasons
why the conditions of labor here cannot be regarded as entirely similar to
the conditions nt Anchorage. At least that is the impression gained by
events which lave occurred within the past twenty-four hours.
When spring comes we are all inclined to think less of ourselves. Great
er spaces open before u.- to dwarf our winter conceptions of ourselves and !
our little affairs. Dui ng the dark and dreary winter we become introspective
and consequently morbid and i n at tired* i o get away from ones self is to
get away from misery.

HURJA WRITES OF HIS
Ol TING ON PEACE JUNKET
(Fairbanks Times)
Emil E. Hurju, formerly in charge
of the local department of the Times,
was one of those who accepted the
invitation to join the lord peace
party, having been selected by the
University of Washington to repre
sent that institution In the follow
ing letter to the Times, he tells
something of the expedition and of
his return to the shores of his native
land:
“Steamship Rotterdam, Jan. 27, 1915.
‘ To the Times.
“Just a line to say hello. Our ship
is due in New York within a few days
and my first European trip will be
over. It has been a splendid experi
ence. We visited in our capacity of
professional pacifists, the three neu- j
tral Scandinavian ' countries of J
Norway, Denmark ami Sweden and
then made a hurry-up trip in a,
sealed train through Germany to;
Holland, where our peace work cul
minated with the selection of a neu- ,
tral conference to attempt ways and
means of bringing an end to Europe’s
big war. The American delegates re
mained behind, while we laymen took
the first neutral ship back home.
“In Copenhagen I had the privilege
of spending an evening with Holger
Greenland, former Fairbanks brewer.
He is married and has one child.
They are comfortably situated in the
Danish capital, but occasionally the
old man gets a hankering to go back
North.
“Also had a half-hour chat with
the famous and only Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, of Mt. McKinley fame. He
declared he would copic back to Al
aska some day to try his luck again
on some of the Northern peaks. He
spoke of trying to climb Mount Logan
in particular. He tried recently to
climb Mount Everest, but the English
government refused to give him per
mission. The genial doctor then went
! into Borneo and did some work
among the famous wild tribes of that
island. He was on his way to the
United States when I met him.
“In New York next week I shall
call on the editors of many of the
newspapers and magazines to put in
a word for Alaska.
“I hope my other letters to you
have reached Fairbanks in good
shape. The mail conditions are de
plorable. The British take every
mail off the neutral vessels to censor
them and see that nothing gets to
Germany.
“Will call on Delegate Wickersham
and Secretary Lane during my short
stay in Washington enroutc West,
back to school and work.
“Very sincerely,
EMIL HURJA ”
