FACTS OF CASE ONLY SHOULD GOVERN
A marine court decides that a man is not to be con
sidered unfit to be master of a vessel simply because he
has weathered the storms of three score years and ten.
The decision is sensible, and a well directed-blow
at industrialists who terminate the usefulness of their
servants at an arbitrarily fixed age limit.
During the past few weeks there has been consid
eral talk up and down the Alaska Railroad belt regard
ing an alleged or proposed new ruling whereby men who
have passed a certain age limit will not be considered
in applying for certain employment—labor. The Gate
way has nothing definite on the subject but doubts if
such an order has been issued from railroad headquar
ters or from the Department of Interior at Washington,
D. C. ' -- '• v ate
It is said protests have been forwarded from the An
chorage and Fairbanks Pioneer of Alaska lodges; thus
far we have seen no editorial comment from those two
towns on the subject. If true, the originators of the order,
should be strung up on a fir tree a mile high. We are
patiently awaiting the arrival of Colonel Ohlson, general
manager of the Alaska Railroad, to get the “low-down.”
Is it becoming a crime now to grow old?
The facts of the particular case should govern.
Cato was wise at 80, and Benedict Arnold foolish
in the prime of his years.
A prominent Englishman, stationed in this country,
calls for a closer touch between the common people of
the several nations of the world, as the best means for
averting war. The suggestion is old, but none the less
potent on that account. Everyone hesitates to pick a
quarrel with a “good neighbor/’ and it is not seen why
the general idea involved could not be extended to lar
ger affairs. Speaking of the common folk and their part
in international conflicts, how many countries would
have been involved in the so-called World War if the de
claration of war had depended upon a referendum vote?
More coast guard cutters for Alaskan waters and
a continuous patrol, was the announcement made at
Seattle last week. The announcement marks another
victory for The Gateway which has for years strongly
advocated both items mentioned.
A list of the names of approximately 200 students,
selected on account of high scholastic attainments, con
tains about 50 that point unmistakably to foreign birth
or foreign extraction. The proportion is large enough
to attract notice. It shows that the advantages of the
country are open to all, as they should be. No one would
deny to the foreign-bom, whatever enlightenment may
have to offer, but the figures indicte that pleasure, in
difference, or wealth, has closed to the knock of Oppor
tunity, the ears of pupils whose ancestors have an an
cient heritage in the land.
************
The latest achievement in aerial navigation is re
ported from Berlin. An American, flying to that city
from London, arrived a few minutes ahead of the cable
gram announcing his departure from the English capi
tal. The telegraph company should have arranged to
have him carry the message.
************
Gateway advertisers deserve the support of the
people here when they offer their goods in modem man
ner and at reasonable prices. This is the merchants con
tribution to a successful trade-at-home campaign, which
will eventually make for a bigger and better Seward.

«. 0. DlLDERSTON
ELECTED PRESIDENT
SEWARD DOLE CLOD
Under the leadership of A. D.
Balderston, city official who on
Tuesday evening was elected pres
ident of the Seward Golf Club,
new vigor is ejected into the or
ganization which is planning an
extensive improvement program
on the course, beginning today.
A number of devotees of the
game were on hand last evening
when Past President H. S. Bald
erston called the meeting to or
der. Election of officers was the
first order of business and upon
H. S. Baldeston signifying his be
lief another should take over the
S chair, A. D. Balderston was nom
! inated and unanimously elected, j
| Likewise Dr. A. D. Haverstock as
Vice President and H. S. Balder
ston as treasurer.
Leon Urbach was appointed as
chairman of membership and on
the spot enrolled 10 and collec
ed frm them annual dues which
are $5.
Each member in attendance j
was aloted a certain number of j
tentative members for enrollment!
but it is particularly pointed out |
that owing to the activities of the
next week or so of members pre
sent last evening, on the course,
anyone wishing to play or join
the Seward Golf Club should
make known their desire at once
to any member. It is impossible
for anyone to know all who may
be interested; with a large mem
bership, the Seward Golf Club
course can acquire a reputation
second to none in Alaska; in fact,
a national reputation.
Those who have given the sub
ject consideration, realize a good
golf course is one of the best as- •
sets any town or city can boast.
A crew of about six men began
work on the greens and fairways
today. Cattle, horses and auto
mobiles will be kept off the field
by the erection of a light fence
at various points. It is also hoped
that sufficient memberships will
permit the erection of a small
shelter in which can be placed
a couple of benches, charts, reg
istry book, etc. It is also hoped j
that the ladies will become inter
ested in the organization to the
extent of active participation.
SELLING LARSON BOOKS
“Read the Larson books! Books j
of Power and Progress. Man can j
live a greater life than he has
lived in the past.
“Whatever your life now is it
can be greater. Whatever your
joys now are they can be more.
These books show you the possi
bilities in man and give you prac
tical methods of applying them.
They are interesting and inspir
ing,” says Miss Jessie Wiley, a re
cent arrival in Seward who will
canvas the city, taking orders for
Larson books. Miss Wiley has
Room 8, over the Seward Grill
should anyone desire to call for
further infoamation.
The SS Alaska is due in port
from the South at 8 p. m., Thurs
day, according to the local report.

Did you ever stop to
The best sellers owe their prosperity to
continuous advertising.
No business concern can afford to pass up
the opportunity advertising offers to make
faster sales and increase popularity.
Those who offer their wares or service
through the printed page are the ones the pub
lic knows best. People always buy things they
know about in preference to those they never
heard of.
THERE IS ALWAYS BUSINESS FOR
THOSE WHO AGGRESSIVELY GO AFTER
IT BY ADVERTISING.
