RANK PARTISANSHIP
A ny Alaskan who has taken time to wade thru the Con
** gressional Record during Hhe recent session must
have been impressed with, the utter recklessness of state
ment which has characterized many of the speeches on
the floors of both Houses.
The debates have been shot thru with the rankest
kind of partisanship, and to an impartial observer it
would appear that in their disregard of facts, in the utter
subordination of the public welfare to political expedi
ency, and in the wasts of valuable time thru irrelevant
wind-jamming, adherents of both major parties and their
various factions have been about equally guilty.
Partisan political activity is inseparable from our
system of government, and when backed by honest dif
ferences of opinion it is not to be condemned. But when
supposed national leaders descend to the level of common
order to gain a little political advantage, it is nothing less
than disgusting.
The^ campaign expenditures this year are so large
one would think the candidates were running for appoint
ment as Secretary of the Interior.
i r\ and get it! The next time we see one of those
* 15 made of dust, dust settles; are you a man?” signs
hanging in a fly-specked restaurant, we're going to re
mind the proprietor that dust also collects.
America is a place that makes a piker out of the guy
who has only one million.
Senator Watson carried Indiana, which is an awful
burden for anybody to carry.
A dry plank in a political platform lasts about as long
as a companionate marriage.
“Coolidge Island” might be an appropriate name for
that new land discovered in the Arctic.
One thing you can say for Walsh: he had sense
enough to get out while the getting out was good.
If China and Nicaragua were close enough together
they could fight it out without anybody’s intervention.
Heroes may come and heroes may go, but genuine
boosters for the good of Seward go on forever.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE WEEKLY GATEWAY
A page from the past, the early
days of Alaska, when men were red
blooded, rlp*snort’n men and women
were few and far between, was wafted
to Seward with the arrival of G. W.
Palmer, merchant at Kenai, who is
now enroute to the States on bus
iness matters, and also, to look around
abit for this marks his first trip to
the States in seven or eight years.
Palmer is typical of those bluff,
i
hardy, tough as a bull pioneers who
put Alaska on the map. Ever ready
to share his last crumb, shirt or dol-'
lar, Palmer’s many friends say they
don’t make ’em any better than ho.
When interviewed yesterday Mr. J
Palmer passed over a perfecto and
remarked: “We don’t need much
t i
down our way but it wouldn’t make
any of us feel bad if Seward can help
us in securing a road which would con
nect up with Seward in some way.
I -would not w'ant anyone to think I
am complaining but we all could be
made very happy providing the mail
service was improved, both winter and
|
summer.”
II HANDY MAN IS !
CHIEF BOB GUEST
A handy man is Chief Guest. He I
has most of the fire hydrants paint- I
ed a vivid red, and is on the last lap
[ in painting the firehall from stem to
stern. His energy has added lots to
the general fine appearance of the
i
town. Before the arrival of vessels
J in port, particularly those bringing
tourists, Bob is always on the ave-i
nue making them spick and span by
’ removing debris and hosing 'em down.
! And if it isn’t that he will be found
i mending a piece of walk here and
I !
| there. 1 -
This morning at 4 o’clock he was;
out on Fourth avenue repairing a
crossing.

mil OBSERVED |
LOCALLY FIRST TIME
When the S. S. Yukon pulled
out this A, M., it was noted that
a number of the local army lads
observed “Reveille” for the first
time in the history of Seward. It
appeared as though some of the
local merchants would have done
a thriving business at the dock
selling them bath towels yes,
many a bright eye appeared dimmed.
Oh, those fair damsels what they
won’t do to break a heart. Even
the local sleuth stopped sleuthing
to sympathise with the 'boys.
Mrs. Richard J. Wulzen, former i
Juneau and Thane "resident, died ]
in Mercedes, Calif., as the result '
of injuries received in a fall from <
a berse, according to a telegram 1
received at Juneau last week.
