SEWARD. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1915.
It is a t»trange coincidence it nothing e«se that the postmasters of Cor
dova. Skagwa, and Seward have all resigned at the same time. Added to
thio fact is th ‘ further fact that a Juneau paper has suggested a movement
by the Democratic administration to put in Democratic postmasters in place
of Republican.. There may be no connection between these facts and the
resignations of the postmasters at the three places named, may as they seem,
te nothing more than the result of the desire on the part of tle> administration
to economize. Government < . on in is a queer thing. A government is \er>
much like a millionaire who find: himself living beyond his means, great as
they are. The millionaire will not relinquish his yachts, his stables or his
wine but he will cut the wages of his footman and the chambermaids. He
will not fire them. He cannot do without them. They art' necessary for his
own luxury and for the upkeep of the house but he will make them work for ^
as little as they are willing to accept. All combinations of human beings
are like individual human beings and governments are such combinations.
Men whose political influence is necessary for the upkeep of governments or
administrations are never abandoned, not if the country and its economical
necessities went to the devil. The public does not cure a straw whether a
man who looks after then mail i> getting a thousand dollars a month or six
bits a day. and admin is rations know it. If administrations thought differ
ently they would be mighty particular about doing what the vot'»r "ante
done.
Is there a man in business in Seward today who is free trom buxines.-'
worries? The ideal business wi-uld seem to be that which has a steady in
come without danger of bankruptcy. It seems as though a man would be
better off with a small business which enables him to put a little money in
the bank every week and to keep constantly adding to it. But no man would
be satisfied with it. The more money a man is making the more he wants to
expand his undertakings. Ninety-nine per cent, of business men will go the
limit ami stretch their credit to the breaking point. Tlfis is what keeps even
the most successful men constantly in hot water. If we could only peer into
the inner stories of men wo envy we should all. perhaps, be more satisfied.

DELEGATE WILL WORK
FOR ABOLITION OF
ROAD COMMISSION
That Delegate James Wickershain
will work for the abolition of the Al
aska Road Commission was indicated
in a statement that he made at Cor
dova, according to the Cordova Times.
The Times says:
“The appropriation for roads and
trails should, in the opinion of Mr.,
Wickershain, be handled through the |
Territorial Legislature, the same as ^
the forestry fund was used by that j
body. He believes that by the up- j
pointment of the proper persons as j
superintendents or overseers that bet- j
ter results can be obtained, and in a
way satisfactory to the residents of
the Territory.”

/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenbrun mss Tailoring
Suy **Shayne-Brun**
will appeal to you at this time because it’s tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes
