SEWARD, ALASKA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1916.
Some people may think it not right to say things about the present city
council which arc not nice but. honest to goodness, it is difficult for anyone
who is not lost to all sense of humor to tako that body seriously and avoid
smiling even through the written word which tells of its actions.
Last night, for instance, there were some horrible attacks made on the
Gateway at the special meeting by those who Itave labored in vain to hurt
this paper for a long time. One councilman, flushed in the face with poorly
suppressed rage, accused the Gateway of mis-statements and in the very
same breath declared that only about a tenth of the people read the Gate
way. It is hard to imagine that a man could find it possible to accuse one
party of lying and in the very same sentence or the one next to—to—tell a
barefaced—story like that. To use any stronger words wxjuld be merely to
give a similar example to his own of a lack of manners or a proof of being
hurt.
The city attorney also rose in all his outraged grandeur to repel with
scorn the insinuation that the petition to the council calling for a special
election was secured with any secrecy. As a rule such petitions are told of
to the press and it is still to be considered rather strange that suih a pro
cedure was not followed in this case, but, really, let it be honestly admitted
that in this case the city attorney evidently acted in good faith.. The Gate
way would not do an injury to the city attorney knowingly. It has always
spoken well of him and in yesterday’s issue it merely suggested that the
secrecy made one suspicious when other actions of the present city council
were considered in conjunction with it. Indeed, the Gateway, before the city
attorney* spoke last evening and after having learned something further
about the petition, intended to remove any suspicion which might have been
attached to him by what it said yesterday, but after the manner in which j
that attorney spoke at the meeting last evening this paper feels it due to
itself to let the matter go as it looks. There is a sort of a constitutional
repugnance to making even the slightest approach to a person vs ho cannot
restrain himself and act in even an ordinarily sophisticated manner.
As for the fellow who said that the Gateway is not read by a tenth of
the people what can you say ? What can you say that could penetrate a
consciousness of that character? What can you say* of a man who is so lost
to a sense of proportion as that? What could you say of a man who came
up to you on the street ami said you were only eighteen inches in height
except that he was an unfortunate monomaniac who by some hatred which

had eaten into his heart and mind had become a fit object for the attention of
alienists and a jury in a Commissioner’s court to test his sanity.
The Gateway hus the largest circulation of any daily newspaper on the
Alaska coast with the possible exception of the Juneau papers. This is a
fact, dear friends. We know' you will not bo overcome with gratitude for
telling you this again, but it might be better to state the absolutely truthful s
fact once more just to show you to what lengths this paper’s would-be des
troyers would go if they could. Every latitude must be allowed to fellows
of this kind. They have striven to the limit to hurt the Gateway but they
have failed and their rage and recklessness is only natural.
This is a lot of space to take up with this elevated subject but the cables

HENRY FORD.
Henry Ford has been called a jack
ass and a clown because he hired a
ship and sailed across the sea to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
in his action is not the question
whether he will or will not stop the
war, but the fact that he' is willing to
try! It was by trying that he got
where he is. But still ho keeps on
trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
is willing to undertake the greatest
job that over fell to the lot of a
human being in the world’s history.
He brushes asido the thousands of
columns of newspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so
called statesmen, he sets his face to
w-ard the most glorious goal that any
man ever hoped to achieve—and goes
on his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person who
tas taken a definite step toward end
ing the war. True it may not be the
; right step, you got that by trying.
The men who sit in swivel chairs and
sneer and make funny jokes about
that man Ford are not taking steps of
1 any kind to end the war. The job
looks too big and too hopeless to
them. It looks big to Ford and may
' bo it looks hopeless to him. But he’s j
1 got the nerve to try and spends his
own money. Asking aid of no man.
What a nation this would be, if each
industry could be headed by a Ford
! who was \silling to try, what chance j
would any other nation under the sun j
j have with us. What if more of us;
! were willing to try and less of us;
! were slaves of convention and
creatures of habit. There is a word
in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
there. Never use it. Well we’ve been
“Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and;
j the Engineers that direct it, awaken!
' to the fact that Seward is the Begin
ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads
in Alaska. In the meantime, we have
plenty time and help to serve you.
