BRAIN FOOD FOR ALASKANS
Editor, The Seward Gateway:
“I want to compliment you upon the spirited loyalty
and honesty of your paper and thank you for the copies
received. You may rest assured they have been read by'
others beside myself.
“As I see it much of the unfairness that Alaska suf
fers from can be laid at the door of Alaskans themselves.
Each was so interested in quick gain for himself that he
lost sight of the larger issues. Even now—with the en
emies of Alaska entirely dominating the press in the larg
er States and I fear Alaskan papers too, it would require
a charge of dynamite to change his attitude, to make him
see that the honor and glory of Alaska is. his responsibili
ty. Twenty thousand Alaskans are holding the Territory
in trust for all America. How are they discharging this
trust? They are not even fair to themselves. They know
that the press in the States are poisoning the minds of the
American people against Alaska, yet Alaskans do not lift
a hand to stop it. With all due respect to the power and
good intentions of Alaska editorials, they do not reach
the people out here, and Alaska needs both the good will
and the interest of the American people.
“For two years I have urged the importance of a mag
nificent traveling display from Alaska, with fine force
ful advertising to teach the people the truth about Alas
ka and counter-act the harmful propaganda of the press.
I believe that such an exhibit could be adequately financ
ed by Alaskans, and to this end I am giving my time and
whatever ability I have, to arouse public spirited Alas
kans to the importance of such a movement.
“Win. Sulzer of 115 Broadway, New York City, in'
tends making his twentieth trip to Alaska this summer
and will do all he can to have Alaskans understand condi
tions out here as relating to Alaska and to encourage them
in an organized effort to put Alaska before the people in
the States in her true light.
“Seward has a notable district to develop. If there
is one town geographically located in Alaska to serve a
large territory and diversified interests, that town is Sew
ard. You have adjacent country where you can entertain
tourists in a never-to-be-forgotten way. You have mining
prospects to develop. Farm products to be supplied. The
natural warehouse location for the whole North and West
Small industries to be started. A railroad to help make
self supporting. If New Englanders had the prospects
before them.that you have they would all be on their tip
toes.
“It is simple enough to urge an organized effort to
help Alaska, but to do the work of organizing Alaska.
Ah, there's the rub! Has any of them answered your
“Call to Arms" yet? I doubt it. Alaskans have a way of
waiting for George to do it, then criticizing his efforts.
Cordially, Marah L. Whitney,"
Waltham, Mass.
From a Democratic viewpoint Senator Walsh’s can
didacy suggests that the same man who lifted the Teapot
Dome might also be able to hold down the dome of the
Capitol.
The fact that Hoover lived in China for several years
shouldn’t make against him. He ought now to be able to
show the country how to live on seven cents a day, read
Their laundry bills, and a lot of other necessary things.
That’s right, pay Sinclair back. Might have to call
on him again this fall.
Easter: The beginning of the fiscal year for cloth

Woman, lovely woman! And the lovelier she is the
snore it has cost to make her so.
Murder will out, and so will campaign contributions.

GIVES STUDENTS TRENT
Yesterday afternoon at 1 o’clock the
students of the high school were treat
ed to a imovie program lasting one
hour. Capt. It. R- Guthrie, Command
ing Officer, U. S. Signal Corps, set up
a miniature theatre in one of the class
rooms where he showed eight reels of
varied subjects taken with his moving
picture camera.
The program proved to be exception
ally interesting, for the tiny “silver
screen” displayed pictures taken at
Saw Mill Bay, Seal Rocks, at the en
trance of Resurrection Bay, the local
champion high school girls basketball
team in action, scenes along the trail
near Kenai Lake, and bits of scenery
taken around Seward. The students
and faculty -were very grateful to the
Captain. j
High school closes May 25 and the
grammar grades on May 18.

The bubbling comedy drama
“ The Midnight Kiss
The same play called “Pigs” which ran on
Broadway for over a year to crowded houses.
Its sweetness and mirth provoking qualities
took blase New York by storm.
JANET GAYNOR—THE GIRL, AND
RICHARD WALLING— THE BOY
A picture that appeals to everyone. Rollicking
comedy story written around a deal in pigs. A
far different comedy drama than the usual run,
and one that everyone boosts.
With the feature we are showing one of the
best “Our Gang” comedies shown here in years.
UNCLE TOM’S UNCLE’
which shows the “Gang” staging Uncle Tom’s
Cabin in their own way. All of it is good.
There will also be a Fable reel and a Ford Ed
ucational. A tip-top-joy program for all
