SEWARD, ALASKA. TCESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1915.
The result of the dock fnr’ct at Valdez shows once again what littleness
small town politics can fall to. Without knowing that such is the case, it
would probably be a close guess to say that the city council of Valdez tried to
hurt the wharf company because some members ot the council disliked, per
sonally, some members of that company. This is where men whose moral
sense i> limited permit themselves to use the public and the public confidence
to satisfy their own unworthy wishes. It is absurd to preach to them be
cause if their consciences lack development sufficiently to observe the dif
ference from right and wrong those consciences will be too obtuse, if you
might use the word, to take any lesson home. Life in small towns should
not be an excuse for smallness.
The action of the conflnander of the Turkish gunboat in the Mediterranean
is another example which goes to show us that the Turks are moved b) as
lofty a spirit as any other people on earth. To the (. hristian world the word
Turk h;is remained for centuries synonymous with savagery and brutalit>.
When it satisfied the designs of a certain great power to lower the Turk in
the eyes of the world that great power got its phrase makers to work and
the phrase “unspeakable Turk" became evolved. This phrase has influenced
the universal mind ever since and the Turks have remained to us a people
unworthy of remaining in what we regard as our own beautiful brotherhood.
Thus has history, and even newspapers, formed our ideas for us since the
beginning. Even those who are strongest in the belief that they can read
between the lines of the printed word are often the quickest to fall for the
insidious suggestion of ink. If a man tells you something by word of mouth
the danger is not great for you only accept that man’s word in direct ratio to
your confidence in him. With the printed word it is different. The writer
does not stan 1 before you and the only influence possible is that which you
see on the page before you. You have nothing to guide you.

The Joys and Clothes
A of Yule tide 4
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenhrun bhj Tailoring
S<& “Shayne-Brun”
will appeal to you at this time because it’s tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes
