The Gateway has ono or two editorials written l»y city people
in its possession now and another will probably be published to
morrow. It is considered bettor not to publish them one alter tie*
other in quick succession as all the useful suggestions might
thus become jumbled in the public mind. Some people seem to
have the fear that they cannot write in a manner that would
look well in print. Get away from that idea. It is what a person
says that counts, not how it is said. The da\ has passed when
flowery rubbish was used instead ot thoughts. The editorials in
the best newspapers in the world now ulavs are just plain simple
statements of what the writers wish to express. It is a sign of
a lack of education in the broader sense and experience to look
for the so-called eloquent writ.ng. It i> a well known fai t that
eloquence grows in inverse ratio to the si/e of the communities.
In other words, the less sophisticated a place is the im*re it looks
for high falutin periods, that pass with some minds for thought
andcommon sense. It would be different with philosophical or
some such essays whore extreme care and literary s<,ii might be
necessary. In a newspaper editorial it should be a plain business
like expression of an intelligent opinion and nothing more. It
is the thing you say that is of value, so do not 1»«• afraid if you
have something to suggest. Nor is it necessary that you should
have money to have an opinion worth giving. It w ill !>•* welcome
if it is any good, no matter what you are. and if it does not injure
anyone or say anything against the best interests o b * p ice or
the people.
The statement of Chairman Kilos that the railroad will In*
completed to Fairbanks in lPlff, if all go**> well, is oidy what
most people expected. Contradictory statements on such an im
portant matter by different members of the Commission are con
fusing and highly detrimental! They would in* so regrettable
that it must In* assumed they inner did contra* ict each other. If
Mr. Mears made the statement attributed to him lie could not have
been serious nor have given serious consideration to the effect
which such a statement would have on the publ'c Nor. if Mr.
Mears made that statement, wo hi Edes conn* out aiddrectly
contradict him in public. The most ic.*» Chairman would have
done would be to ask Mr. Mears to correct his own >tatement.
The members of the Commission could never act 1 ke schoolboys,
and we may take it for granted that they did not. i.« t us i>,
careful in future.
