SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1916.
The great majority of politicians who are looking for office are hypocrites
and the great majority of the people who elect them are fools. It is a worthy
ambition to try to serve your country or town in a public capacity hut when
one tries to reach office by the assumption of artificial and unwonted char
acteristics jus; previous to election day it is hyprocrisy.
The man who stoops to hypocrisy is the least worthy to represent the
people and that is the root of all evil in democratic government because he
fools the crowd to vote for him.
The man who tries to use the workingman to vote for him is like the
man who tries to use his religion or nationality' to secure votes. He is selling
the workingman, his religion and his nationality for a mess of pottage. He
is soiling the sacred ness of poverty, faith and fatherland for his own dirty
purpose.
There are lots of men who have too m«ch honest pride to try to fool labor
by false promises and. their honest pride keeps them out of public life. The
loose and conscienceless blackguards who make the false promises are very
often our rulers.
One thing about the election tomorrow can be said, and that is that the
candidates are as honest a body of men, taken generally, as one could find
anywhere. It may be possible that a very small few of them have some
motive other than the proper government of the city in view by seeking
election, and this may not be so at all. but taken on the whole the candidates
impress one as the sort of men who have the most worthy intentions in seek
ing the suffrage of the people of the city. Ihere seems to be none of the
personal bitterness of last year injected into this campaign, but the pet sonul
considerations have probably dickered out with the political death of those
who tried it and committed political suicide thereby.
LITTLE TALKS ON
HEALTH & HYGIENE
By Samuel G. Dixon, M. D„ LL. D.,
Pennsylvania Commissioner of
Health. j
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
When Adam first fell into the water
the human race took a step forward.
Civilization ami bath tubs now go!
hand in hand.
Authorities may vary' in discussing
the ‘merits of the hot bath, the tepid
bath and the cold bath, but they nil
agre*' in the abstract that bathing is
necessary to good health and a prime
promoter of self respect* The remov
al from the skin of the accumulation
of refuse matter is the primary
reason for the bath.
It is essential to good health that
the skin be kept in proper condition,!
as it automatically regulates the heat
of the body, permitting it to cool off
when it becomes too warm and keep
ing heat in when it becomes too cold.
It assists the lungs and kidneys in the
disposal of refuse matter. When the
skin sweats it assists the kidneys.
When not too heavily clothed it re
spires and helps the lungs.
A bath should not be taken too
near meal time. There is a normal
attraction of the blood toward the
stomach after eating; any interfer
ence with this and the attraction of
the blood toward the surface of the
body is apt to arrest digestion.
Warm baths have a soothing effect
anti often are prescribed for nervous
ness. The tepid bath can do no harm.
Cold baths are stimulating but are
apt to be injurious if the heart action

1 im: Adv.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In announcing my candidacy for
councilman at the coming election, 1
want the voters and taxpayers to
know just how 1 stand on matters per
taining to the welfare of Seward.
1 believe the standard of our public
schools should be equal to any in Al
aska.
I believe in public improvements on
a sane and business like plan. I do
not believe in squandering monies. I ^
believe in conducting the business of
the city on the same conservative
plan in which business men conduct
their private affairs. Am opposed to
any Civic Improvement plan, involv
ing the expenditure of half million
dollars. Those conditions might exist
forty years hence, but we are not
ready yet nor is any city in Alaska.
I believe in bringing the assessed
valuation of Seward down to where
it justly belongs. I believe in a tax
levy sufficient to conduct the affairs of
the town for the ensuing year—our
assessed valuation is too high.
I believe in maintaining an up-to-j
date Fire Department and paying the
volunteers sufficiently to awaken a
new and greater interest in the de
partment. Their efforts have not been
fully appreciated.
Water For Fire Protection.
If the Council is aware of insuffici
ent water for fire protection it is up
to them to arrange for it, and if
necessary, install an auxiliary salt
water pumping station, an emergency
station. I believe that all Federal
property enjoying the protection of
the police and fire departments
should bear their 6hare of the burden
and up keep of these departments,
and with the proper co-operation with
the Federal Commission this may be
obtained.
I believe in employing the oldtimers
on all city work so far as is consist
ent, and paying not less than 50 cents
per hour therefor.
If the above platform appeals to
you, I ask your vote.
Respectfully,
Pd. adv. W. M. SAUERS.
