SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1016.
Dr.Waite is now trying to get out of the danger of hanging tor the kill
ing of his wealthy father in law by proving that he has a dual nature, one
an evil one which constantly tempts him and which was the cause of the
rounder. This argument looks like rot but, really, every man has a dual
nature, although the difference is not pronounced enough to be accepted in
court as material evidence. Kveryone ot us lives two sorts ot lives. We
live one life before our sisters and we live another life when the sisterly
back is turned. Most men are so accustomed to two sorts ot vocabularies
that they can use each at the proper time am! place with equal fluency and
unfaltering accuracy. The forcible vocabulary used to the tel low man is as
completely forgotten when speaking to a lady as it it had never existed.
This is a funny little thing which happens every moment of our lives. Most
men in ordinary conversation with ‘‘familiars use adjectives which, to sa>
the least, are not found in books relating to polite society. I hose adjectives
flow from the tongue with perfect ease, indeed with that easy art which looks
like nature itself. To listen would make one believe that the ioss oi those
adjectives would mean the loss of speech, and, yet, listen to that profane
wretch speaking to a tine lady live minutes later and, great Caesar, what a
metamorphosis has come over his conversational capacity. The whole
forensic character of the man has completely changed. Where torcible ad
jectives held sway are now honeyed phrases of Chest*rtieldian correctness.
Don’t say there is no such thing u.> Dr. Jekv and Mr. Hyde. hvei> man
in a more or less degree is a Hyde and a Jekyll.

All the candidates are now up tor the city election and there are loti* ot
good ones to choose from. Ihe only trouble that can come would be tioni the
clique politicians who might try to run in some people connected with some
interest or another for the purpose of running the municipality for some!
particular and selfish purpose. The voters should look out for any such
moves as that. Just keep your eyes open, people, and don't let those would- j
be politicians dope you with those cheap etforts that are intended to make
them popular with you. I>e careful of that chap that gets so genial when he
is looking for something.
* NO SMOKING *

(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WASHINGTON. March 24. — The
addition of Mayor Baker of Cleveland
as Secretary of War splits the cabinet
evenly on the subject of smoking, giv
ing President Wilson the deciding
vote. Secretary Baker is a pipe- ■
smoker. Prior to Baker’s arrival the
cabinet anti-smokers had control by
a vote of 6 to4. As the President
does not smoke and he holds the bal-,
#nce of power, there is no smoking
at Cabinet meetings even now.
Baker, Lansing, Secretary Wilson,
Lane and Houston, smoke. The non
smokers an* Redfield, Daniels, Me
Vdoo, Burleson and Gregory.
There has been no smoking at a
cabinet meeting during the terms of
the last three Presidents, Roosevelt,
Taft, and Wilson, all non-smokers.

JESS WILLARD’S STATEMENT
(Special to Gateway by United PressJ
NEW YORK, March 26.—“I am go
ing to knock Moran out in the short
est possible order. His right never
will get near enough to hurt me. I
never in my life was in better shape
than I am today for the Moran fight.
1 have trained down almost to ring
side weight and expect to enter the
ring weighing about 245 pounds, a
reduction of 15 pounds. 1 will rest
up for about a month after beating
Moran and then go out again with
the circus.—Jess Willard.”

WINNIPEG, Man., March 22.—
| Game preservation in Manitoba,
North Dakota and Minnesota was
argued here today by the Audubon
society. Declaring that it represent
ed “the i>6 per cent of the population
that does not shoot prairie chickens,”
the society asks for laws protecting
the bird whose eggs, it says, have
largely been destroyed by frost. The
protection of plover, woodcocks,
snipes and sand pipers would save
American agriculture 80,000,000 a
year the society says, because these
creatures live on seeds and insects.

Seward, Alaska, March 21, 1916.

Very sincerely,

Pd. Adv.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In announcing my candidacy for
councilman at the coming election, I
want the voters and taxpayers to
| know just how I stand on matters per
: turning to the welfare of Seward.
1 believe the standard of our public
schools should be equal to any in Al
aska.
I believe in public improvements on
a sane and business like plan. I do
not believe in squandering monies. I
believe in conducting the business of
the city on the same conservative
plan in which business men conduct
their private affairs. Am opposed to
any Civic Improvement plan, involv
ing the expenditure of half million
dollars. Those conditions might exist
forty years hence, but we are not
ready yet nor is any city in Alaska.
I believe in bringing the assessed
valuation of Seward down to where
it justly belongs. I believe in a tax
levy sufficient to conduct the affairs of
the town for the ensuing year—our
assessed valuation is too high.
I believe in maintaining an up-to
date Fire Department and paying the
volunteers sufficiently to awaken a
new and greater interest in the de
partment. Their efforts have not been
fully appreciated.
Water For Fire Protection.
If the Council is aware of insuffici
ent water for fire protection it is up
to them to arrange for it, and if;
necessary, install an auxiliary salt
water pumping station, an emergency j
station. I believe that all Federal j
property enjoying the protection of
the police and fire departments
should bear their share of the burden
and up keep of these departments, ;
and with the proper co-operation With
the Federal Commission this may be
obtained.
I believe in employing the oldtimers
on all city work so far as is consist
ent, and paying not less than 50 cents
per hour therefor.
If the above platform appeals to
you, I ask your vote.
Respectfully,
Pd. adv. W. M. SAUERS.
