Entered as second class matter at the postoftice, Seward, Alaska.
WITH YESTERDAY’S issue the Gateway was increased in size to seven
columns which is equal to that of the largest daily paper in Alaska.
Recently some of the best machinery has
THE G ITKW AY IN 1HE been installed anti part of it has been a
FIRST R \\h first class type setting machine which wiil
enable the paper to keep step with the
promised great growth of Seward. New type for at! the departments has
also been secured and the claim can be made that there has never been a
newspaper office better fitted north ot fftty-three.
This paper " ill not only keep in the forefront in its mechanical arrange
ments but in its policy and principles it will always endeavor to bo a credit
to the community which is at the present time so widely spoken of all over
Alaska and the Pacific coast. It will be the paper of the people of Seward
and at all times will be at the sen ice of this whole section, so that it might
be able to do everything possible to further the interests ol its people.
The best groundwork has been laid on which to build the Gateway up and
when the time comes for Seward to make its big upward movement this pa
per will be found in that movement's front rank.
WHEN’ the Alaska icgi>lature comes into session again the mistakes of
the first session will probably come useful in pointing out what should not
be done. The chief lesson which can b >
THE NEXT LEGISLVTI RE learned from a survey of the former
legislative work is that too much legis
lation is worse than none.
In sixty days the last time the legislature passed more than eighty laws
and forwarded about forty resolutions to congress. That means that they
passed a law and a resolution for each day of the session, and some of those
laws were aimed at making revolutionary changes in matters of the most
complicated and controversial description. The legislators tried to settle in
about twenty-four hours the mining laws which all the people of the terri
tory had been discussii g for almost as many years without being able to
make up their ifiinds. And the worst ot it is that the leg’.slatois nexer
thought of consulting the people ot Alaska as to whether they con>idered
the proposed change good or bad. Indeed there were many places in Alaska
where the change it', the mining laws were not even heard of until months
after the legislature had adjourned.
In electing people to a legislature such as Alaska needs there tan be to*>
much attention paid to the political leanings of the candidates. If the resi
dents of any mining camp in the territory fount! it necessarx, as thex otU:i
have, to elect a recorder or any other sort of an official to transact the xx’ork
of the camp they never xvould take into account, and they never have taken
into account, the politcal opinions of the men to be selected. Rut when it
comes to running the business of the whole territory the thing is entiiely dif
ferent. Party government is the best kind that has been tried since human
government xvas first organized. It is impossible to have free government
xvithout parties but xvhen laying the ground xvork for a new territory the
party Question could be left out, perhaps, xxith advantage choosing the
best men. The founders of the republic were practically one party until the
nation could afford to divide.
