SEWARD. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4 016.
In writing up Secretary Lane in Collier s Will Invin says that "an orator
is not recognized in the west unless he drops in a purple cloud or a pink
.unset here and there." and by that he means, of course, that the west still
wants high-faultin stuff with its writing and speaking. In saying so Mr. Irwin
did not mean that all the west wanted it but there is surely a large crowd
that does. What is called fluent writing or fluent speaking in many quarters
is merely rubbish. Any man who can write or speak can get off some of
that stuff hut t man with any "savoy" is inclined to turn his stomach while
he is doing it of necessity—the necessity to charm the mob. Lane did it,
Irwin tells us. but he must have suffered terribly. The failure of many
people to discern the falsity and slush in this so-called eloquence is the direct
cause for the election of so many incompetent people to public office.
While speaking of Mr. Lane, Mr. Irwin says that it has always been a
trick to catch cub reporters by getting them to call the Secretary of the In
terior a “presidential possibility.” Lane was born in Canada, the son of a
British subject, and no man. of course, not a born citizen of the United
States can reach the presidential chair, lhe storj of Lane is worth reading.
He began as a printer's devil and rose to the eminent height of a reporter.
Bv the way, Governor Strong worked on the same paper with him in Tacoma.
Fairbanks is evidently having a pleasant time. The political fight in
that city, we are told, has resulted in bringing about indictments against
members of the opposition on very serious charges. The chances are good
that if Dan Callahan and Woolridge were not big men physically they might
have had someone steal up on them and hit them but the indictment is ap- j
parently much more effective. The result of this affair will bo very inter
esting reading. The trials have now started.
The name of the man recently appointed to the United States Supreme
Court is spelled Brandeis but it is pronounced Brand-ice with the accent on
the last syllable. Some papers spelled it Brandies, maybe with the idea that
a man who was creating so much trouble ought to have a name like that if
he didn’t.

ARCTIC CLUB IN QUARREL
OVER REMOVAL QUESTION
A movement has been started by
members of the Arctic Club, at Seat
tle, principally by the Alaska mem
bers, to prevent quarters in the build
ing built by the Arctic Construction
Company to a new building which it
is proposed to erect a block or so far
ther up Third avenue, as is provided
for in a lease contract recently sign
ed. The members who have started
the campaign contend, and they pre
sent figures to substantiate the claim
that the club can make a 20-y^ir
lease of its present quarters that,
compared with the lease contract
that the officers of the club have sign
ed up, would save $33,000 to the club
in the 20-year claim.—Juneau Empire
TODAY’S ODDEST STORY
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WILDWOSE, N. D., Feb. 28.—'Tree
eating, dog fighting, thieving rabbits
are pestering farmers in this district
and hindering agricultural progress,
the farmers say. Because shepherd
dogs have been whipped in encounters
with rabbits, it's becoming difficult to
get a dog that will attack them.
