SEWARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 13, 1910
Iii about a week we shall have crossed the center of
the valley of the shadows of winter and begun to ascend
towards light again. What a difference it makes to a per
son to see the long days coming on instead of the longv
nights. It means a difference to the temperament similar
to the difference experienced between living in a growing
town and the town that is decaying. All of these things
exercise great effect even without our consciousness of it.
Were Seward a decaying town instead of a town with a
future what a difference would be felt. To be very poetic,
the human mind is like a spud or any othei luscious fiuit,
It will be as the surrounding elements make it.
One gets tired of everything, even of the best of
tlii; gs. and the subject of the government railroad some
times gets terribly tiresome. The public seems to expect
something printed about the road or else it is imagined
thev do. but all that can be said now about progress of the
worl is merely details of what has been said a thousand
times unless something really new comes up from time
u. time. But to try to cater to the supposed desire of the
public to have railroad “news” all the time one might go
too far. Shout too often and you shout in vain.
Is it tvally not a fact that the little children of Sew
ard are the brightest and cleverest in your experience?
t his is not said with any attempt to please or be mawk
ishly sentimental. To praise all is different from an at
tempt to get into the good graces of some loving mother
by praising her youthful genius alone. But, somehow,
those who have lived in several towns of the same class
are unanimous in the belie! that the Seward small ones
can “put it over” anything of the kind ever seen before.
If the belief"is really well founded it would be an inter
esting pastime for Some Sttfiolftflfio*! nuviv tn ctn-lu tlm
Why people ever have any ambition to sit on city
councils w ithout pay is hard to understand unless thev are
large tax payers and wish to protect themselves and
others like them. To be a member of a city council other
wise means work for nothing and mighty small honor.
But when people get elected they should perform the work
which the men who ran against them would have presum
ably done. To ask the people to entrust you with the
charge of their affairs and then to fail in carrying out
your part of the agreement is a failing which should not
he 1'ghtJy regarded.
