SEWARD. ALASKA. JULY 8. 1914
WHATEVER one a. gut t'.Ink o t e goi era. j-o.ivio <n the
democratic administration there should never be any but the best
wisht s on the ’'art of Alaska towards President Wilson.
He is the first president to take a real interest in the develop
ment of Alaska’s resources and to him chiefly is due the great era
of activity which is soon to begin for the territory.
But even in other respects he has proven himself >incc his
entry into oifice to be a man who really desires to improve the lot
of the people generally. We often hear nowa
VO THE days that he and his administration are respon
PRESIDENT sible for the dullness of the times on the out
side and. consequently, in Alaska, but there has
become apparent recently so strenuous an attempt to place the
blame on his shoulders that one is inclined to believe that his
friend the enemy is becoming once more very active.
His tariff and banking laws were certainly intended for the
U a tit of the people as a whole, and it was never deemed likely
fo • a moment that the monied interests would be willing to take
their medicine without some effort to discredit the administration
that was responsible for them.
No doubt the fact that the democrats are in power may be the
cause of the bad times, but the industrial and financial affairs of
the United States are so conducted that wealth is ever able to make
times what they want them to he. and it is hardly fair to place the
blame for the acts of capital on the shoulders of the man who since
he went into power has done all that a man could do to make that
that capita! bow to the will of the people.
Some president some time must carry this tight against preda
tory wealth to a successful conclusion, but as long as the financial
magnates are able to turn the people against an administration by
starving the* people themselves, so long will the people remain the
slaves of their moneyed masters.
WHILE the supporters of other parts of this coast are putting
forward strenuous efforts to advance their own interests, and in
some cases in a manner which are intended to be detrimental to
the interests of this town, the people of Seward
SVAXD should never sleep. At this particular time the
FOR SEHARD ini porta nee of working to keep this section to
the front cannot be over-rated. Now is the
moment when effective work would count, when the immediate
future is fraught with such tremendous possibilities for this city
and locality.
If the people could constantly keep before their mind’s eyes
what might be gained or lost within a very few months to the resi
dents of this section they would never rest from the task of hold
ing Seward always to the front.
Never for a moment should sight be lost of the fact that soon
Seward will undoubtedly be the terminus of one of the great rail
road systems of the world and that tributary to it will be a region
of vast extent and wonderful undeveloped resources.
Now is the time to make assurance doubly sure and to prepare
for what is coming.
