SEWARD, ALASKA WEDNESDAY. MARCH 29. I91tk
Evidently prohibition docs not bring about a total lack of the moans of
securing liquor. Judging by the correspondence in the Gateway yesterday
Seattle is still far from being parched and it is likely that all the laws in
the world cannot prevent vice or even bad habits. Laws may be able to re
move temptation but they can no more remove the power of a man to satisfy
himself than they can remove human nature.
Most likely now Villa will get clear away and never be caught by the
Americans as regular troopers can hardly hope to beat roving bandits at
their own chief game of covering wild country and living oil it. ihe at
tempt to round him up after he has once got clear is like sending a New York
policeman through Alaska to catch an erring prospector or trapper. This
country has probably taken up a job which can never be consummated until
Mexico is overrun with a great army that can cover immense territory.
Sometimes some people who are new to the publicity world seem to have
an idea that a newspaper reporter when he seeks news or information is
i.bout in the position of a man who is going to borrow ten dollars. It should
be remembered that when a reporter asks information he is no more a beg
gar than a doctor performing at; operation is a “blood-letter” in the sinister
>ense. A person who has spent any considerable length of time in newspaper
work can tell the new arntal in public life in about two seconds. If the
newcomer is . ot gifted with natural commonsense he gets it into his head at
once that because the reporter comes to his office to ask a request the re
porter is in a secondary position relatively to himself, and what airs the poor
boob who is being interviewed sometimes puts on. Get men who have been
accustomed to public life, men. for instance, like the members of the I.abor
Commission which is now in Anchorage, and the reporter is always sure of
having his position understood. Really a man ought to consider it a compli
ment to be thought worth being interviewed.

; ANNOUNCEMENT.
. i
In announcing my candidacy for
councilman at the coming election, 1
want the voters and taxpayers to
know just how I stand on matters per
taining to the welfare of Seward.
I 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 me 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
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 share 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 w’ork 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.
