SEWARD, ALASKA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER S. 1916.
Seward owes it to itself, and particularly ter its better
half, if one might say so, to make the Civic Fair beginning
today such a success that it will serve as an incentive to
have it a permanent institution. Every man,in the city
and district should consider it part of his duty today to
visit the railroad building. The women ot the city have
devoted a lot of time and labor to make the Fair worthy
of its purpose. For them it has been a labor of love. They
have done what the men of Seward have tailed to do. In
this the Seward women have given one more proof of their
superiority over the members of the sterner sex here. 1 he
men of Seward like men everywhere, with great sell-com
placency, affect to see in women characteristics that make
unity impossible, but here in the Civic Fair we have con
crete evidence that Seward’s women have done more than
the men of Seward, for obvious reasons, could ever do.
And these reasons are suggested by the word unity writ
ten above. This is all accounted for by the fact that the
women of Seward are infinitely superior to the men in
everything that makes life worth while. In the first place
they are better read and generally better educated. They
are refined, and this means a lot, because if anything is
better calculated than another to make people unfriendly
it is the vulgarity of manner in small things which is, sad
to say, so apparent amongst men in Alaskan camps. T his
vulgarity is not a crime, immorality or anything like that.
A man might break all the commandments and still be a
good deal of a gentleman. The fault lies in their little ac
tions. Often a man through lack of real manly refine
ment or education makes remarks which hurt another to
the quick, and to this vulgarity, it may be said without
hesitation, is due the failure of men in Alaskan cities to
unite. That statement may make people smile but look
into it for yourself.
But it is hardly fair to make the Civic Fair the
text for a sermon like this although it might, on the other
hand, help to do what is intended. It might help to draw
attention to what the women of the city have done for the
city. They have worked faithfully for months and they
have succeeded in collecting and preparing exhibits of
which Seward may be proud. When you visit the Fair
keep in mind always the difficulties that beset the work
and the resources the ladies had at their command, and
then examine the exhibits.
All together should pull for the Civic Fair.
