“What kind of a country is this, anyway?” asked a
visitor from Seattle this morning, “snowing to beat the
band outside and flies buzzing around indoors.”
HURRAH FOR SENATOR REED!
Cenator James Reed of Missouri struck a popular chord
^ yesterday when he said “government by boards and
bureaucracies must cease.” Without going into and re
hashing odorous details Alaska has had, and still is, hav
ing a sample of the mess he speaks of.
And we probably will have it with us for many years
to come, worse luck.
But despite the restrictions and idiosyncracies of
our 57 varieties of bureaus Alaska is progressing.
Progressing because Alaskans themselves, not out
side help, are creating industry and developing Alaska's
natural resources.
This is the kind of weather which makes one wonder
what became of last summer's wages.
UNDER HATS, WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE
“Twenty-five years ago, and previous to that time,''
states W. F. French, in the Executive Club News, “a
class of travelers circulated actively to and fro in the
land; they are no longer traveling among us. These peo
ple w^ere commonly clad with a hat thoroughly ventilated
at the top, with stray locks of hair peeping through; the
collar, if any, was rich in oil and realty; the shirt, if any,
was of early vintage; the vest, coat and pants were not
from the same bolt of cloth—and each had its bits of paint
and dirt taken from lunch counters and mud puddle.
“The preternaturally long or unco' short trousers
were bewhiskered and fringed and the sto,ckingless toes
peeped out or boldly stood forth, from the shoes that had
measured more ties than they should have been called up
on to do.

carried more and varied and useful knowledge than is
laid away in the head of most college graduates; the own
er wTas an expert in statistics, politics, science, literature,
history, geography, language and customs. He was a
walking encyclopedia. Withal he was a good debater, a
good listener, and instructive talker; level headed, good
natured, kind hearted, helpful, generous to the limit of his
ability- For the most part, he was a man.
“This class of individuals has passed from the world.
But the lesson they taught remains, and we may profit by
it if we will. This unkempt citizen was known as a
'Knight of the Stick/ or more commonly as the 'Tramp
Printer/ Having been to nublic schools but little or none
at all. he had almost a college education.
# “He had been from devil up to pressman in a printing
office. He could sweep floors, clean cuspidors, set type,
make up forms, run job press, cvlinder, stitcher, binder
or engine; could repair them all if they got out of order;
could write news, or editorial, correct nroof, sell inb work,
set up the jobs in elaborately artistic form (for those
davs), and then print the jobs in as many harmonizing
colors as desired.
“He learned all he knew in the printing office. Mod
ern efficiencv and specializing methods have eliminated
this relic of olden times, but there is just as much to be
learned today in the printing office as there was then.”
This is also the time of the year when more than one
will think of home and mother.
The trouble with advice is that so much of it is bad.
The world is amused rather than impressed by the
man who doesn’t know when he’s beaten.
Nobody ever complains about the price of fur coats
or silk stockings.
SEWARD MAKES NEW

PASSES OUT COMPLIMENT TO
SEWARD DAILY; M£ETS
STOWE, KODIAK
Seward made a new friend during
the past, few days in the person of
Judge Clyde E. Stone, Chief Justice
of the State of Illinois, who departed
Wednesday for home. “ I do not
know at this time when I will return
to Alaska,” the Judge remarked, “but
I trust it will be soon; as I said be
fore Mrs. Stone and our three girls
will come back with me.”
A new friend because he is struck
with the enterprise of Seward, its
superb natural location and the met
ropolitan appearance of the city.
And he was also delighted with the
general hospitality, not only in Sew
ard but at various towns and com
munities Westward.
Prior to the departure of the ves
sel Wednesday, Capt. Ralph R. Guth
rie, commander of the Signal Corps
for this and the Interior district of
the Territory, very kindly motored
Judge Stone out to the Jesse Lee
Home, and later, to the golf links.

COMPLIMENTS GATEWAY
“I must compliment you on the ex- j
cellence of your daily paper here”, the
I Judge remarked to Leon Urbach, lo
i-cal clothier and president of the Sew- 1
jard Chamber of Commerce, “for I
| have been looking over other Alas
kan papers and am forcibly struck
by the excellence of your paper’s gen
eral make-up and snappy appearance,
jl am indeed surprised to, find a daily
paper in a town of this size and must
■say do not recall any town, or city,
with a population the size of Seward, j
in which a daily paper is published
anywheres in the United States. This
point I am calling to the attention of
one of our big dailies in Peoria
and I am also taking home with me
several copies of The Gateway to
show the editors: A town’s prosper
| > ..
ity, or condition, is truly reflected by
its newspaper One is forcibly attract
ed to Seward immediately upon ar
riving.”
JUDGE MEETS JUDGE \
The Judge humorously related his
meeting at Kodiak with U. S. Com
missioner Stowe. Passing through Ko
'diak as a member of a hunting party
Judge Stone had the pleasure of
*
meeting the Commissioner for the
first time; the visit was short. Later,
upon the Judge again calling in at
Kodiak he met Mr. Stowe again and
about the first remark Mr. Stowe
made went something like this; “I
am sorry Judge I did not have a long
jer visit with you before but I did
jnot know you were a regular Judge.”
