THE GATEWAY IS “PANNED.”
In an editorial running well into two columns the
Juneau Empire takes the Gateway to task for its fault
finding editorials of a few weeks ago which were direct
ed at the Coast Guard Service, particularly, the Cutter
Unalga. The editorial is of such length that it cannot be
republished in this slim column but will be found in its en
tirety in the news columns of this issue.
After reading extracts from our editorials republish
ed in that mast worthy paper, together with the accom
panying rebukes, also praise for the cutter service, we
take it for granted the Unalga is now coaled up.
This is the time of the year, after you have made up
your mind to swear off smoking, when you open a box of
nice Xmas-gift cigars that some good friend has given
you, it’s hard to tell whether the world really is getting
better or your own will power is getting weaker.
What the chainnan of the Democratic national com
mittee said to the chairman of the Republican national
committee was, “It’s a long time between Presidential
elections.”
We see where a citizen of Chicago died a natural
death a few days ago.
Now that prohibition has been in effect for so many
years it has become recognized among certain circles that
distillers of today are becoming expert in making moon
shine. How often one hears now the remark: “No more
this so-called bonded stuff for me; I’ll take ‘mule’.”
Spurgeon Cowart, in an Atlanta jail for drunken
ness, fired several revolver shots at random because he
was not permitted to use a telephone. There’s no telling
what he might have done if he had gotten the wrong
number.
The little Virginia girl, evidently warned not to ride
with strange men, declined an invitation to accept a
lift by a gentlman in a fine car a few days ago. The gentle
man was President Coolidge.
The booster is the only kind of a fellow who has the
right to become a boaster.

REPUBLISHED FROM THE
JUNEAU EMPIRE
THE COAST GUARD SERVICE
AND ITS CRITICS
It is not often that we have cause
to find fault with the Seward Gate
way, but that paper has worked it
self into such a frenzy about the
Coast Guard Service, particuarly
the Unalga and the incident of the
wreck of the Starr, that it is making
a sort of spectacle that calls for re
buke
In its issue of December 20 the
Gateway said:
We have said little but pondered
much over what seems to be a fla
grant violation of ethics upon the
sea; namely, the cutter Unalga
which, as far as we know, is still
holed up at Juneau while the
steamship Alameda, a passenger
liner acted the part of a good Sa
maritan in assisting the disabled
Starr to port.
A good illustration may be put
this way: If the local fire depart
ment was called upon to rush to a
house burning down, would it be
nroper for the fire chief to say he
could not go until he filled the
the truck with gasoline? We think
not. Yet when the Unalga was
wirelessed to assist a passenger
steamer in difficulty—the Starr—
the answer is received that it will
speed out just as soon as coal has
been taken aboard!
Wc grant the Alameda would
have been first to arrive at Dark
Tsland where the Starr lay at anen
or yet exposed to the whims of the
elements, but it would certaimy
seem the only cutter within a radius
of thousands of miles would have
at least been prepared for any
emergency which are forever aris
ing in these waters.
