SHARING THE SPOTLIGHT
While marvel after marvel follow in the wake of
President Roosevelt the fact must not be lost sight of
that while wc h«*ve the greatest President since Wash
ington, we also have the most wonderful Congress.
This wonder is expressed in the alacrity and readi
ness with which the members of Congress accept and act
upon the President's suggestions.
Of course this cannot but help accentuate the colos
sal intellect of Mr. Roosevelt because it indicates recog
nition by great brains of one even greater. In this the
members of Congress have displayed their ripe wisdom j
and lack of that egoism which characaterizes the half
cultured men who have been creeping into the national
Capitol.
Where many men gather in any enterprise it is nec
essary that leaders develop. Those w’ho cannot lead, but
whose co-operation is valuable, reveal the measure of
their intellectual powers by accepting leadership.
It was while Congress was composed of men, each
whom believed himself the intellectual superior of his
fellows, that the ship of state went onto the rocks.
SYMPATHETIC RESPONSE
The Gateway's appeal to President Roosevelt to have
Alaska included in the unemployment-forestation pro-1
gram under which plan local and other needed roads
could be built at a low cost, has met with a sympathetic j
response from President Roosevelt himself, who, through
his secretary, Louis McH. Howe, transmitted a reply!
which, in part reads:
The White House
Washington D. C.,
March 24, 1933.
’To the Seward Daily Gateway: I
Gentlemen"—The President appreciates your kind
ness m sending your suggestions and has asked me to
forward same to the officials who are working out the 1
details of the unemployment relief plan.”
\\ ho says Alaska is not a gold country! Even the
name of the Governor is the standard by which bullion
is weighed.
★ ★ ★
It’s a cinch if President Roosevelt’s reconstruction
crews go fussing around the Tennessee Valley they’ll!
find several tribes of people we did not know we had.
★ ★ ir j
i
Under the old prohibition law 16 drams made one
ounce. “Ounce,’’ translated into Mexican means the Amer
ican leopard, which accounts for the number of stripes
collected by those who drank the Volstead stuff.
★ ★ ★ ir
Chicago girls are noted for their big feet. Maybe
that accounts for the racket.
★ ★ ★
The houses cf Morgan and Rockefeller have fallen
out. Now if they will only tell all they know about each
other.
★ ★ ★
If Postmaster General Farley cannot find any use
for the old pen-points removed from the postoffices,
Alaska could use them for sluicing forks.

W ith the new Governor in the saddle we’ll have a
chance of determining the relative value of avoidupoise
against Troy weight.

Now if someone can make a pattern out of the Leg
islature and turn it into a jig-saw puzzle he can cash in. ‘

Among the most prolific crops which can be grown
in the Railroad Zone is hops. Contracts have been let in
the States for a year’s supply at 20c to 30c per pound.
★ ★ ★
The depression was a blessing in disguise. It steeled
us for the ordeal of having Bernard Shaw among us.

The movie Shebas are telling of the men they loved
But how can they remember all those names!

Now just wait until someone gets sore at Governor
Troy and claims he only weighs 12 ounces to the pound.

The Gateway Thursday contained 67 telegraph dis
patches besides local and territorial items. Compare this
with any other paper in Alaska.

STUDENTS U. OF 1.
It is not every year that Seward
high school is honored to have its
■ graduates get on the scholarship
lists of outside universities and it
is not every high school in the
Territory that can proudly point
to the excellent records being made
by its graduates who are continu
ing their studies in the institutions
of higher learning.
Information received from the
University of Washington in the
; last mail is to the effect that
: among the high ranking students
! on the scholarship list of that Uni- j
I versity is Otto Sandbeck of the J
Seward high school’s graduating!
; class of 19&0 and associate editor !
. of the Seward Gateway. Student I
Sandbeck made the scholarship'
Jist for the winter quarter, just!
! completed and came through with !
i the following grades: Economics, |
I five hours A; Political Science,!
j five hours A; Language three !
hours A; Language (second course)
two hours B; Journalism one hour
B; and Physical Education one |
hour B.
In the vernacular of the college!
, student, Student Sandbeck made j
; a grade of 13 hours A and fours'
B, or a grade average of 3.7 out|
of the highest possible grade aver- ]
age of 4. For the sake of compari
son it may be interesting to know!
rfhat during the first or fall quar
ter, Student Sandbeck’s grades
were one hour of A, 11 hours of B,
and five hours of C; or a grade
average of 2.8. Sandbeck is a
freshman. He returns to The
