THE MEANING OF A REAL NEWSPAPER |
_ • . I
Everyday in the year excepting holidays and Sundays
the Seward Gateway is delivered to every person who sub
scribes for it. We are trying to give you a newspaper con- J
taining interesting, instructive and profitable: informa-}
tion, news both in the editorial: and advertising columns
which can mean dollars and cents to you.
It’s a home paper for this town and community of
ours. It is a part of you. If we haven’t your name subscribe >
today. We're proud of our town and Alaska* It will be a:
humming business centre and a natural trading spot for a j
very much larger population in the very near future* It is j
the normal nerve centre for a wide and rich country. The j
completion of the Railroad to Fairbanks will make Seward;
in reality the Terminal City. Our stores, shops and busi- j
ness organizations are equipped with all that. i& necessaryj
to the best service-but tolling you about the advant
ages here ifln’t quite getting it across* You’ll never know \
how good this community is until you study conditions of
future growth and development, week after week
fifty two weeks in the year. There is only one correct way
to do that- It is to read the news, editorial and advertising
columns of-the Gateway.
Anyone with just a trace of love for toe great out"
doors, or with vision enough to look ahead a few years, can
readily glimpse what the near future will mean to Seward
Not a city of fifty thousand, with trolley cars, sky
scrapers, ferry boats and miles of paved streets, but a sta
ble community of possibly 3,500 people all invited for toe
best interests of the town and all standing behind every in
dustry. A town to be proud of. Your newspaper reflects
your town. A good* live, down to the minute paper is to a j
town what the eyes are to a man. It seems everything |
- worth seeing and it reproduces what it sees on the pages }
which reach you every day. You read what the paper sees.:
It is the eyes of the community. If you don’t read- it you
fail to see what istranspiring.

I YOUR LITTLE ALASKA PAPER
(The Gateway)
When the shadows are a failin’ at the endin’ of the day,
And you’re restin’ from your labor, with your troubles
tucked away,
There's nothin’ in Alaska, be your fortune up or down,
Like a copy of the Gateway, from the coming Seward t
town.
.. i
It ain’t a tiling o’ beauty, an’ its print ain’t always clean, j
Bht it straightens out your temper, when a feller’s ffcelin’;
mean, '
It takes the wrinkles off your face, an’ brushes off the
frown,
That copy of the Gateway, that is {Hinted here in town.
It tells of all the parties, it announees'all the mail,
And it mentions all the people mushin’ out along the trail,
It keeps a fellow posted ’bout the prices up and down, -
That copy of the Gateway which we print in SewardTown. i
We like to read the dailies from the states* and weeklies,
too, .
An’at times the yellow novels and some other tnsh ——1
don’t you?
But when you want some readin’ that will brush away a
frown, _ - • . •„
You want the Seward Gateway that is printed here in i
town. . ....i

NOT INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE J
Those who doubt the wisdom of j
preventing strikes on the railroads by
Congressional enactment should send
to Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash- j
ington for a copy of his report on the ;
Senate. Tho report shows in easily un- j
derstood language that Congress is not
only possessed of the right but is
charged with the duty of taking all
necessary steps to insure against in
terruptidn of transportation by rail,
.
i[>on the regularity of which depend
,hc lives not only of individuals but'of
lie very Government itself. Some la
»or leaders are misleading the memb
rs of their organizations when they
Late that the bill sebkB~to impose in
oluntary servitude upon railroad
'oikers. Not only does the Constitu
on prohibit such legislation, but the
jill itself expressly reserves the right
any wage earner to quit work when
o pleases. The thing which the bill
.ceks to prevent is a conspiracy to in
terrupt interstate* commerce. In order
Ln secure conviction under the bill it
.vould have to be shown to the court
not only that the interruption. The
measure is drawn solely in the inter
ests of the public welfare, and in ac
complishing its purpose it destroys the
rights of no individual or class, but
nerely restrains those who would plot
s
:o bring suffering and demoralisation
ipon the nation.

ON THE ROCKS
One of the rocks upon which the
league of nations assembly was wreck
ed was the refusal of the big power to
permit the assembly to discuss their
rights and privileges as mandatories.
The immediate dispute centered about
the refusal of Great Britain and fran
co to tell what they intended to do
with the mandate over <Mesopotamia
and the Holy Land. In plain language
it was a fight between the two branch
es of the league, the council and the
assembly til the request of either party
to the dispute. Apparently the assemb
ly is the court of last resort in the pro
ceedings of the league, but the big
powers who- are in permanent control
of the council are going to see to it
that that ptovfeion ' is not taken too
Htwdly. ' „ ‘

' PERT PARAGRAPTHS OF SENSE

LOCAL, CAUGHT ON THE
FLY BY "THE HUMAN
TOOTHPICK
|
The little woman who.has made the
Broadway Shop the busiest little store
in Seward is now creating some wond-,
crful masquerade costumes for the Big
Ball on St. Valentine’s Day. The men
and women and girls and boys can
hire, rent or buy 'these costumes. All;
the worry, and planning and work of
making a costume is being done by
Mrs. Brook. All that is necessary for j
any one to do who is planning on tak* |
ing in the Big Dance, is to walk into 1
the Broadway Shop, select the costume
desired, take it home, put it on, wear
it to the Ball and return it (if hired)
the next day. The charges are reason
able. The; costumes varied enough to
suit the most fastidious and the know
ledge of just what you are going to
vear hidden from everybody. Before
you decide to make a costume Inspect
the assortment in the Broadway Shop.
Some people who have been com
plaining about the lack of winter and
che scarcity of snow should feel satis- 1
iied today. About two feet of the I
“beautiful” has fallen during the past
48 hours and the old town is now
dressed in a coat of white, the ground
which is not frozen will absorb a lot
of the moisture when the snow starts
to melt. Those who a re figuring on k
garden spot next summer should have
no trouble getting one started at an
early date.
