SEWARD, ALASKA, Till RSDAY, MARCH 15, 1916.
If everyone could understand the difference between an amateur and a
professional there would be a vastly greater knowledge in this world because
the difference is that between the man who knows his business anti the man
who thinks he knows everyone eise’s business. A tremendous lot of mistakes
and disagreable experiences might be avoided. I he mote highl> trained a
theatrical company is the more simple does the performance appear, making
the thoughtless imagine that anyone could do ju>t as well. In writing the
best forms are the most simple but the great majority could never be taught
to believe it. The greatest painting is the one which the one who does not
understand would pass by contemptuously. Ihus it is that untrained people
are so often tempted into some work by the apparent simplicity of it, when
the very simplicity is the art.
Do the people of Seward now fully realize that by the stubborness ami
density of some members of the city council that city was left for weeks at the
mercy of fire?
By this time probably United States troops are marching on Mexican
soil and a new period in the historical development of this country has open
ed. If it is true as the cables said yesterday that Carranza troops have at
tacked American troops anil if it brings about war it will probably make a
bitter enemy of our Mexican neighbors for many long years to come, and
there is no enemy so hitter as the one who is impotent to right his w'rongs.
It may have the effect of some day causing a really great war. The size of
Mexico makes it sufficient for a population of far greater number than it has
now but even now with military training and equipment it could place an
army in the field that would be bigger, perhaps, than any forces the North or
South had at any one time in the Civil War.
