SEWARD. ALASKA. THURSDAY. MAY «»>*• ___
If the Alaska Road Commission secures the larger appropriation for this
year Seward might get busy in the effort to have a lot of it expended here.
It is noticeable, however, that the appropriation was not mentioned in the
items telegraphed in with the statement that the Sundry Civil bill was report
ed. There is an idea that the money was asked for through some other ",i>s
and we may be getting it. It is over six hundred thousand dollars, remember,
and Seward needs roads and trails as badly as any other place. The building
of the railroad makes the need of wagon roads all the greater as the popula
tion will be greater.

In one of the stories printed in the Gateway yesterday it was shown that
a woman hits cut down the price of her living expenses to ten cents a day.
She makes hot cakes in the morning and fried mush in the afternoon, or
something like that, and lives entirely on corn mea! and oatmeal. She is
sixty-two yeai s of ago. an old woman who has been in straitened circum
stances for 2$ years. Can you picture a more pathetic story than that? The
tale is related as if the chief part of it were the fact that a woman can live on
ton cents a day. but the real kernel of the story is found in the fact that
society is imperfect enough to compel an old woman to remain half starved.
No wonder everything is going wrong.
Revolutions never have a chance of success unless they succeed in form
ing a government with power to enforce its decisions. Otherwise the peopU
will be divided and the lack of central authority will make the divisions
wider. We have seen in the present war that no nation could get out its full
strength. The cause is that the great majority of people are imbued with
commercial and not martial ideas in these modern times.

HURL BOMBS NOW

(Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON, May 20. — Germany’s
latest is the baby rattle bomb.
“Militarism starts in the cradle in
I Germany,” said a British naval oflicer
today, exhibiting proof of his asser

I Berlin.
It was a perfect replica in tin of a
German aeroplane bomb, neatly deco- J
rated with the picture of an aeroplane
and the words;
“Gott Strafe England!”
Small pieces of “shrapnel” rattled
inside the bomb. On the top side was
attached a handle for the infant to
grasp in hurling the deadly thing
when he got mad because he thought
his dinner was late.
