IF WE WERE KING
-O
We have often wondered what we would do if we |
were President, King, Potentate, Emporer, Czar and
Kaiser Uber Alies in these United States.
We would submit important questions like Farm
Relief to three men familiar with the subject and have
their bill passed in five mnutes by Congress with one
minute speeches, if any. Then we would sign it.
We would scrap all our battleships and put the
money into coast guard service and the building of a
merchant marine.
We would grasp all the bureaus in Washington in
one hand and with the other pull a long string of red
tape, till the ball in the right hand had practically disap
peared. Then we would have one bureau directing all ac- j
deities of government with our cabinet as advisers.
We would abolish jury trials and burn all the law
books and start all over again on the Ten Command
ments. .
We would put plenty of money into South America j
instead of Marines.
We would withdraw all Chirstian missionaries from
foreign fields and put them to work in America, permit-j
ting other peoples to worship God as they please.
We would abolish prohibition and put sane disposi
tion of liquor in our own hands to the benefit of govern
ment lcvenues. ... ,,
We would subsidize American shipping to the ex
tent mat uiey could carry the products o± cue C. S. fai
mer to the uttermost corners of the earh at a low
freight rates ,
We would take a big broom and sweep all the lob-1
byists out of Washington. #
To prevent a four by five division m the Supreme
Court we would abolish said court and have one learned
judge to pass on important matters of the nation
We would abolish all temples and churches and in-1
vite all the priests and preachers under one tent to find
out what kind of a God they are worshipping and
Then we would take a day off and call it good.
It was with extreme pleasure the citizens of Seward
who attended the Congressional banquet heard the dis
tinquished visitors put in a few good words for our Gen
eral Manager of the Alaska Railroad, Colonel Ohlson.
They were unanimous in expressing their belief he was
the man who is going to put the railroad and Alaska on
its feet. Shucks! We said that long ago.
THE SPEEDY BREMEN
While airplane records of various kinds seldom hold
good for more than a few days or a weeks, ship re
cords often stand unbroken for many years- Therefore
the new trans-Atlantic record set a few days ago by the
great German liner Bremen on her maiden voyage from
Cherbourg to New York is something more than just
another stunt.
Considering the comparative slowness with which
steamer speed has been increased, the feat of the Bre
men is all the more remarkable. It gives rival steamship
companies a shining mark to shoot at.
Now that mosquitos ate up a bunch of horses , near
Anchorage it should be in order for a special investiga
tor to be dispatched pronto to Alaska to discover if
“skeeters” bite, and should not be conserved by the mos
quito bureau.

BEAUTIFUL SERVICE MARKED
FUNERAL OF ESTEEMED
SEWARD CITIZEN
Impressive funeral rites mark
ed the services today for Charles
Ohrem, employee of the Alaska
Railroad for many years who was :
accidently killed last week while
engaged in loading the S. S Taiyu j
Maru.
Services were held in Odd Fel- '
lows hall under the auspices of j
B. P. O. Elks’, 1351. The casket,!
surrounded by a bower of floral j
offerings, rested at the foot of |
the altar. Members of the Order j
were assembled on one side of j
the hall and citizens and a large
grouo of close friends, on the op- ,
posites ide.
The entrance of Reverend
Fatten, officiating minister, was i
followed bv Lvle Larson, Past Ex- j
sited Ruler of the Elks’ Lodge;
then came officers of the Order,
•vs follows: Chas. Oadwallader, I
Cban’ain: Leonard Honkins. Es- j
teemed l eading Knight; H. Hen- ;
rikson. Esteemed Loyal Knight;
Wm. Abbott. Esteemed Lecturing
Knight; Fred Broadwell, Esquire, j
Fevejrend Fatten opened the j
solemn service and rendered a j
‘'nlendld eulogy and tribute to!
the Departed Brother. Appro- !
nriafe rrmsic. bv the Jesse Lee
Home choir, nroceeded the ser
vices conducted bv the lodg.
Past Exalted Ruler Lyle Lar
son then delivered a glowing tri
bute while members in silent
nraver, counting with reverent
sentiment, the slow toll of the
gong sounding out the mysticj
hour of eleven.
With great feeling and in rich
voice a vocal number was then ■
rendered by George James.
This number was followed by
the calling of the name of the
departed Elk. At the conclusion
of the services each member of
the Order passed the casket in
last respect depositing a sprav
of evergreen and departing with
the words. “Peace be with you.”
The song “Our Absent Brtoher,”
as rendered by Mr. James, was j
then rendered with intense feel-1
ing gripping all with emotion. j
A long line of automobiles was
in the procession to the Seward
cemetary where grave services j
were held and the casket slowly
lowered to it’s final resting place ,
among the verdant luxurious
growth of fragrant greens and j
flowers.
