A PAGE FOR CHECKERBOARDS
—
If there is one place more than another where news
paper readers should look for truthful opinions, it is on
the editorial page.
But they don’t always find them.
In publications dedicated to tht ambitions of a single
class, or guided by the policy of “grab every nickel, the
editorial page is used as a checker board.
On it the editor plays his own little selfish game. He
adroitly pampers one stratum of society and howls down
another. Right or wrong he champions the class which he
believes will do him the most good. It may be “big busi
ness" or something else. No matter which, such policies
long indulged in lead to difficulties, misunderstanding and
friction between men.
There is another type of newspaper, however, which
bends its efforts to bring misunderstandings to an end.
Guided by high ideals and looking well to the interests ol
ail, instead of itself or in a single class, it takes the side of
right, irrespective of whether it is with the majority or
against it.
No class or clan of interests are at all times right or at
all times wrong. Many times they are partly right and
wrong. It is the duty of a newspaper to deal honestly with
men and issues. In no other way can it deal honestly with
its readers.
Such a paper is The Gateway. Read the editorial col
umn the same as you read the various columns containing
the newsjof the day, the local and the telegram. If you
do not agree with the writings, don’t knock, but write to
the editor, set him right—but permit him to print your
communication, using your name. But always bear in mind
the editor is honest in his opinion.
Again, do not think that any newspaper nowadays is
a “mucker.” The muckraking day has passed and gone
forever. Don’t ask an editor to “start something” that
vou would lie afraid to do. The editor has his business to
%
attend to—the same as you, only his business is broader,
perhaps, than yours. The newspaper reaches the masses
—you only reach, perhaps a handful.
PATRONIZE THE HOME MAN
Yesterday a man in Seward asked for figures upon a
small job of printing. “You are too high," said he, when
the price was quoted. “I can get it done cheaper in Seat
tle.”
Very well, Mr. Seward Man, suppose every member

of The Gateway staff would adopt the same policy, “get it
in Seattle because it is cheaper.”
We recognize you can't sell at Seattle prices, neither,
can we. The reason in both instances is the same.
But you are not going to send your printing to Seat
tle or anywhere else and the large family of The Gateway
is not going to trade anywhere but in Seward. Recipro
cation—that’s it—and we will join in and help one another,
thus helping our community, the land where we live.
Isn’t this right? j
An eastern paper says they put glue in the ice cream
in Wisconsin. That is one way to make the trade stick.
You will observe that LaFollette “held up” the newj
war bond bill: he did not “uphold” it. I

It is remarkable what a number of little things,
all added together, will do. After reading the Alaska En
gineering Commission doings on the Seward division in
yesterday’s Gateway, it proves that one mile completed
here and there makes a long link in the ultimate connec
tion and extension.
