SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10. H)l(i
A newspaper is always a dangerous weapon to plate
in the hands of people who have had neither the training
nor the ability to use it properly. The very moment such
a person finds his paper threatened with destruction he
grasps at anything, like a drowning man, to save him. He
is unable to pay for a good telegraphic service, for in
stance, and he must make up for the deficient*} b\ taking.
He must also start attacking someone because attacks get
people to read the sheet. 1 he worst of it is, those attacks
are usually founded on lies. Indeed, a newspupei likt tin
one spoken of here depends on lies to make an attack in the
least noticeable. Twice in a week, tor example, the Gate
way has been accused of saying things it never said but
the Gateway is not bothering: It is merely drawing the
public attention to a general fact, not to any particular
specimen of the breed, lo one who knows the biand the
thing is amusing. It does not even irritate. \\ hen one
reads such “attacks” he pays them a bigger compliment
than they deserve. None ol us would read the same soit
of stuff if it had been scrawled on a slate by a kid in the
primary grade. The trouble is that it getfc printed. The
law against dumping refuse in public places was not
framed to cover it nor can you quarantine it. It is one of
the diseases born of too much liberty for incompetents.
We must all admit that we do not pay sufficient at
tention to arguments in political speeches. We are usu
ally carried away rather by some quip or word play than
by an effort to prove what the country most needs. II you
have a political leader who is skilled in politics he makes
his followers believe everything he says and even makes
them like what they pretended to hate before. He can turn
off a strong argument against him with a light word and
his unthinking audience howls its approval while perfect
ly unaware of the fact that this very light word had been
carefully thought out to entrap them. A skilled politician
is something to be admired. He gets a name first and
afterwards plays his followers like so many pool balls.
An audience sitting in front of its favorite politician is
actually waiting open-mouthed to read into all his state
ments more than they contain. What would be regarded
as a platitude on the lips of another assumes philosophical
Significance when it drops from the hero’s tongue. 1 he
dear public is certainly peculiar.
All friends of peace will be rather sorry to see Ger
man submarines coming to this side of the Atlantic to op
erate. Just now feeling is running so high in this country
that very little would be required to set the flame. Per
haps today will bring news of a very grave kind.

KRAUSE FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
JUNEAU, Oct. 5.—The jury in the
case of the United States vs. Edward
Krause returned a verdict against the
accused at a late hour lust night of
murder in the first degree for caus
ing the death of Capt. J. 0. Plunkett.
Little doubt existed when the case
was given to the jury of what the ver
dict would be. While the evidence in
the case was wholly circumstantial
the prosecution wove a strong chain
about the prisoner tracing his prob
able movements from the time he left
Douglas until the arrest of the ac
cused.
Witnesses testified to the finding
of Plunkett's boat anchored in a se
cluded cove after a letter had been re
ceived from Krause stating that it
had been burned. Other witnesses
identified articles found in the posses
sion of Krause as belonging to Plun
kett, including a shotgun, barometer,
suitcase, typewriter and articles of
wearing apparel. The chain was so
complete that there was not a loop
hole for escape.
The charge of murdering William
Christie is also hanging over Krause,
but at the time it is not known wheth
er it will come up for trial or not.
The prisoner has already been con
victed of forgery and other crimes in
connection with the great crime and
has received sentences aggregating
nearly I»0 years in the pen.—Ex.

Bin a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROM1G & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
