SEW VRD, ALASKA. HU RSDAY, JINK 15, 1016.
The national nominating convention may be a popular
institution but it is certainly an undignified way of select
ing a man to be the first citizen of a great nation. Not
that the national convention itself essentially lacks dig
nity but the manner in which national conventions arc,
usually conducted show a lack, somehow, of the stately:
qualities that a stranger might well expect from a gather
ing whose results are so important. It haidly sounds)
right to hear of delegates to a national convention, for in
tance. shouting themselves hoarse for over an hour. This
mav be done today or tomorrow at the Democratic con
vention. It is impossible for men through real enthusiasm
to maintain an ovation for any such time as that. It is
forced, strained, artificial, a sham, a delusion, and in onei
sense a snare. One thing certainly which American poli- j
tices could borrow from European politics with advantage
is more education and a sense of dignity in many of its
politicians. It is almost impossible to imagine any men <
real education or dignity abandoning themselves to such
extravagant antics in their sober senses as those we read
about, and on such an occasion as a convention to choose j
a President of the United States. It is safe to say that
the verv best men at those conventions are the ones whoi
keep quiet unless when they have something to say that is *
worth saying. You could never imagine a man like Root
or Roosevelt or Wilson or William Dean Howells or
Franklin K. Lane or a thousand others like them jumping|
around in the middle of a hall and shaking their hats. So,
whv should the others do it?
*
It is likelv that when the first white settlers came to
America people thought them crazy. The resources ini
sight were exceedingly small if apparent at ail. When the
Romans marched through the world as it was then they
abandoned as useless some regions which are now
amongst the richest on earth. All countries look barren in |
their virgin state and until people come to find their |
wealth. All countries have resources whose existence isj
never suspected until it is proven. Let us always remem
ber this here at home when we are tempted to say that the
country has been tried to the full.
ENGLAND HONESTLY
IS ECONOMIZING
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON. June 9.—The war strick
en people of England really are econ
omising. Here's proof:
A duchess has given up 3 cars,
closed town house, and keeps only one
servant.
A marchioness has quit giving din
ner parties and travels third-class on
the railway.
A viscountess has not bought a new
even rg dress this year. Eats cold
luncheons.
A baron—I am now smoking two
penny cigars.
A London vicar—I have given up
buying old books.
A member of parliament—I have
quit spending my salary.
A barber—l walk to work instead
of going by tram.
A stenographer—I go to one less
movie a week.
A compositor—I smoke an ounce
less tobacco a week.
A lawyer’s clerk has quit losing 2
shillings a week playing dominoes.
A judge—No port after dinner.
One cigar a day.
A money lender—My wife ha>
given up her carriage ami pair.
A Gaiety girl refused an invitation
to dinner because the man who asked
her couldn’t afford it.
A policeman has given up a weekly
paper that used to make him laugh.
Hills Coffee—10c a pound. Brown
& Hawkins, “Quality First.”
GERMAN POPULATION
The census bureau has been trying
to determine the exact number ol
people of German birth who now re
side in the United States. Combin
ing the figures of the census of 1910
with those compiled by the immigra
tion authorities since, it finds that
there are residing in the L nited
States 2.603,776 persons born in Ger
many.
During 1911 there were but 24,781
German immigrants into the United
States; in 1912, 20.031; in 1913, 29,
145, and in 1914, 28.468. Since
August, 1914, there have been very
few Germans to reach the United
States from Europe. The beginning
of the war ended immigration from
that source, although it had been
practically negligible for many years
past.
The census bureau estimates, how
ever. that there are in the country 8,
282,618 people of German descent,
which is rather an elastic term. At
that, the people of German birth and
descent number but about 9 per cent
of the population of the country as
a whole. The largest population ol
German birth or descent, proportion
ately, is in the Middle Atlantic states,
and the Middle Western states come
next.—Post-Intelligencer.

I The Beautiful Suburb
| Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and !
