SEWARD. ALASKA. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1916. _
The Valdez Prospector is authority for the statement that the cable ship
Burnside did not get away from Seattle on the 15th of this month as she
had been expected to do, so we might settle down to a long period without
cable communications to the outside. For anyone to contemplate such u con
dition as this is in a newspaper field like this is terrorizing, awful, heart
breaking, fierce.
An idle brain is the devil’s workshop, we are told, and the nearest ap
proach to an idle brain that an editor can ha\e is when he is without tele
graphic dispatches. (That’s all right; Go on; Say it; “Some editors couldn’t
possibly be idle in that respect.” You got an opening). But, seriously, when
a newspaper cannot get dispatches its people are frightfully tempted to till
up the columns with anything that comes to mind. The men who fall for
this temptation are the men who have made newspapers a bye-worth You
have some of them strung along this coast. You have one to the north and j
one to the east who are conspicuous examples of those who w ill throw things
into empty columns as the conscienceless contractor will shovel mud into
a hole where solid gravel should be. Y ou also have others, and one of the
chief fillcrs-in are attacks on those they dislike or envy. Indeed, there are
some of those soi-ilisant newspapers which are founded for no other purpose
on earth than to attack someone or something, and the more space they have
the more will be the attacks. They do not attack because they believe an
attack needed or necessary but because they have been born to take the of
fensive and they become more ami more offensive as an absolute' necessity for
existence when they have nothing else to do. The vacancy created in their
upper apartments, by the failure of outside news to come in the shape of
tenants, gives ample space to Mr. Mephistopheles to perform the duties indi
genous to his character.
Aeroplanes for Alaska are apparently about to become an accomplished
fact and the day of the dog is growing dint. There is no getting away from
it; Within a year we shall see aeroplanes rising from Seward and shooting
away to the interior. This is just as sure to come as the railroad service.
We saw by the dispatches from the outside to the Gateway yesterday that
the postmaster at San Francisco has asked for bids for an aerial mail service
from Seward to Anchorage. The great day is dose at hand.
