REVERSION TO OLD CUSTOMS
With striking similarity the nation is gradually
a vita ting. toward customs that were in vogue during
e early seventies.. # •’ .
Yet we find the federal, government assuming the
tire responsibility and direction of the movement. .
It will be recalled that in the early seventies, the
lited States had not traveled far along the lines of
mufacture. What there was of industrial activity was
nfined for the most part to agriculture and those in
stries where production was essential.
Yet men and women gradually shook off what to
em was the thralldom of the farm and soon filled the
nks of labor to saturation, and many of those who had
mred a competency by the sale pf the farm, fell a prey
speculation. .....
It was at this point that far-sighted empire builders
gan assisting worthy emigres to the western frontier.
It was about the nineties that industry began to
?ep west of the Ohio river. Again there was a migra
n back to the cities which sprung up.
There is now but one great frontier left for those who
-uld escape the uncertainties of the present and future,
is Alaska
As shown in the small allotment of BWF funds to
a ska, a greater degree of permanency, or what might
termed self-liquidating projects emerged than for any
» sum expended in the congested centers.
It would not be experimenting or pioneering new
Ids for the President to advance farther in evacuating
rdy young people from the congested centers and set
g them down in Alaska under a guarantee of a year’s
ibstake, to operate under direction of the Geological
rvey in mine development
The plan has much to recommend it. All such pro
ts would become self-liquidating simply by setting
de a percentage from returns for the purpose of re*
rnrsing the treasury for the expenditure.
WORLD ANXIOUS TO LEARN
China is having trouble with communists. Commun
., like bath-tub gin, radio crooners and the like, ap
rs to be one of the things that slip in when the door
tpen to western civilization.
It is unlikely that many of the Chinese communists
>w what it is all about, but that fact makes the sittta
i no more pleasant for China. Indeed, it may be said
ommunists in general that they do not know what it
11 about
If China can find some way of ridding herself of the
imunist pest, she will be in a piosition to tell a waiting
•Id something which it is anxious to learn.
It is difficult to think of many great steps of progress
mman affairs that did not originate in violence and
•ng.
When people tell an editor they want him to print
truth they mean the truth about the other; fellow.
It is predicted that youth will make the world fool
>f. At the rate they have 'been bumping each other
they might at that
Huey Long is having a hard time getting a printer
rnblish his explanation of a black eye. It must be a
ous classic when printers turn down a job these days.
Maybe Mr. Roosevelt’s forestry program was design
o grow enough birches with which to keep the next
oration in the straight and narrow path.
One of the chief drawbacks of the summer season is
it affords no opportunity to find fault with Congress.

Communication
Editor Seward Gateway,
“I noted the article from the
Gateway under “Northern Lights”
in the last Alaska Weekly. I am
notfcoektok & abhlVntftieJaut J am
seeking a bona fide' position as
housekeeper and prefer Alaska.
“I’ve spent four summers, in the
Territory and I love the Northland
and have always wanted to return.
I remember Seward as set amid
beautiful surroundings and spent
several enjoyale days there one
summer not so long ago. It occurs
to me that one of these men or
maybe a group of them might need
a housekeeper as I know many
business men send their families
outside in the winter.
“Knowing Alaskans, I’m writing
you confidentially and feel sure
you would not give this informa
tion only to a gentleman. I’m a
middle-aged nurse but it has been
difficult to collect fees the last
two years and I know how to keep
house and like to do it. Thanking
you for any interest, sincerely,—”
Chris Amodt, fine oldtimer of
the Sunrise-Hope district, came in
to town yesterday for a brief visit.
The public card party presented
last evening by the Rebekah lodge
was said to have been a wonderful
success and the large attendance
had a very enjoyable time. The
list of prize winners was not avail
able in time for the press.
