SHOWS UK IS SMALL
In a recent Literary Digest there
appeared a page and a half article
about one Rockwell Kent- who gained
considerable notoriety in Seward sev
eral months ago, by breaking into
print- in the Gateway* anil being
roundly scored by a well known Sew
ard woman of this city* for several
.sentiments expressed in his writings.
Wei! right then and there Mr. Rock
well Kent said that he could have done
nuii’li for the Resurrection Lay t ity.
but he would not slide down our cellu
door any more and was going to pack
his blocks and go-forgetting every
body. Oh very well- there was no crap'
hung upon the door* but he did goeth.
And then Mr. Rockwell Kent went
hack to \’ew York* and with him some
“wonderful" artistic new-thing-draw
mgs- as they are termed. And Mr.
Rockwell Kent wrote something- men
tioning of course that he had been in
Alaska, a plan* about ‘steeji miles
from a town on "Resurrection Bay."
\uf sed- Mr. Kent brought upon him
self criticism by his articles, he state I
something and could not finish it -
and now he shows his smallness - but
that town on Resurrection Ray
right smart alive, the sun still shines
and the moon and stars are visible

from that town* etc.
Hut. even the Literary Digest says*
what was claimed here* that he dis
plays Socialistic tendencies- having
studied Socialism and other radical
isms, and he emerged from Alaska
** a full-fledged mystic.” That sounds
good— maybe so— we still take it lot
granted.
The Literary Digest also prints one
of Mr. Rockwell Kent’s drawings— a
something- our artistic nature evident
ly has always been wrong- for the pic
ture is one depicting despair and
gloom- and there is nothing so artistic
about it- anyway.
Kven the art critic of the New York
Sun says that the pictures are “the I
most interesting event from an Amor !
ican (Hunt of view this year “blit the
year is still young- and some good
might come up yet. The art critic also
says that the “drawings are all of a
weird style and show the melancholy
nature of the artist. “Melancholy” is
also a good word, used by the critic.
But the Literary Digest itseir
seems to regal’d the man himself rath
er as a joke* but does not d**nv th**t
the pictures have made a sensation*
perhaps using the word “sensation" a*
it is generally meant* something our
of the usual- because there is nothing
more unusual happening* and a bubble
has been created which quickly passe .
The odd thing aliout the career oT
Mr. Rockwell Kent is that as an art
ist he was a failure and becoming dis
gusted with the world, retired to Fox
Island- down the bay from Seward
“where he lived the life of a hermit
and received his inspiration for hid
new series of pictures."
The Literary Digest printed a Iff1*
ter written by Mr. Rockwell Kent- ia
which the latter admitted tl\t he was
a regular fellow and that he burned
the casdle at both ends.
Mr. Kent’s letter closes with this
tribute to Alaska: “Alaska is a
fairyland in the magic beauty of it <
mountains and waters. The virgin
freshness of this wilderness and its
utter isolation are a constant source
of inspiration. Remote and free
from contact from man, our life is
simplicity itself. We work- work
hard with hack and hands felling
great trees. We row across thirteen
miles of treacherour water to the
nearest town; and the dangers of that
trip anti the days and nights* weeks
and months alone with my son- during
which time 1 have learned to see this
wonder world and know his heart —
such things are to me the glory of
Alaska."
Seward citizens certainly can ex
tend the hand of welcome to the visit
or and extend it in such a coquettish
way- that the visitor is made to feel
perfectly at home. And the greeting i*
a genuine one- too. This was shown
Tuesday night when a dance was sud
denly thought up for the hoys of the
sub-chaser “10. Many of Seward danc
ers had retired- but when the \vor(T
was slipped around- that a welcome
was to be extended to visitors* the
hedeloths were given the toss back
and into dancing garments the fair
ones quickly arrayed themselves* then
of' to the hall. And the hoys were giv
en a good time and appreciated the*
cordiality of the people of Seward, and
that is sufficient.
The departure of Rev. McMillan
from Seward* even temporarily, is to
he regretted. Rev. McMillan may per
haps locate in Cordova* taking the
parish of Rev. Van der Pol. During
the time Rev. McMillan has been in
Seward* he has made a wide circle of
friends* even outside of his own con
gregation. He is well read and broad
minded and his many friends trust
that he may return to Seward.
Jack Stotko shows his unlimited
faith in Seward through the purchase
of the Admiral Building on Broadway.
“Jack” as practically all know him by,
leaving off the finish* is a sagacious
business man and thii is not only
demonstrated in his property holding.*:*

BUSINESS METHODS ARE
NOW TO BE USED SAY
REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS
WASHINGTON* June 20— Senator
Francis E. Warren* of Wyoming* the
new* Republican chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations* will
insist upon an early return to business
methods and constitutional govern
ment as a remedy for the extravagen
ce and waste of the present Adminis
tration.
“Unheard of sums for unheard of
purposes have steadily been appropri
ated out of the public treasury* with
the result that an immediate halt
must be called if the taxpayers of th?
country are to be protected,” he said
to your correspondent. “Often with
out adequate reason and certainly
w ithout propel1 check the money of th »
people has been poured into projects
which later events have proven entire
ly unworthy. When the hooks are op
ened by the new congress before th.»
summer is over* an unsavory record
will I fear* he revealed— a record or
favoritism in contracts and wanton
waste in the completion of them where
they have not had to be abandoned al*
together. The country must check, up
and it should be thankful that it has
placed the task in the hands of the
party opposed to present execution
methods. Otherwise, it is unlikely that
much of the tale would ever be told.
Yet the uncovering of waste is not
enough. There must be an institution
of methods which will prevent its re
currence. To this end the appropria
tions committees of the House and
Senate will see to it that every item is
scrutinized and all vague- idealistic
and impractical projects eliminated
“ A proper and economical expen
diture of the money of the people by
the branch of government given pow
er to appropriate it will in my judg*
ment it^df prove a palliative of the
evils of unconstitutionalism. Armed
with vast powers during the war and
aided and abetted by a supine Dem
ocratic Congress, the President has
gradually permitted arbitrary methods
on the part of the executive depart
ments which have underminded a pro
per respect for the authority of Con
gress.
Therefore- a return by Congress to
business methods of appropriation an.l
audit will have the effect of impress
ing upon the executive branch that it
is but a coordinate part of our system
and investigation and scrutiny cannot
but have the result of bringing about
greater care in the future.
