GATEWAY'S POLICY VINDICATED
As the smoke of battle clears two Alaska newspa
pers stand out in bold relief as leaders of popular
thought and the only two which have been and are in
perfect harmony with the national and territorial De
mocratic platforms and principles.
They are the Seward Gateway, representative of
Western Alaska, and the Juneau Empire, the force in
Southeastern Alaska.
Unmindful of whar the suburban press thought of
its policies and working independent of all other influ
ences save the desires of the people, The Gateway for
many years has led the battle in Western Alaska for
practical home rule, predicated upon a removal of the
bureaucratic stranglehold.
In this battle it has been alternately cajoled and
threatened not only by the beneficiaries of the bureau
cratic system, but by men whose focal point was cen
tered upon some small personal gain where “thrift fol
lowed fawning.”
It is edifying to note that, emboldened or startled
by the hurricane of popular opinion which swept Frank
lin D. Roosevelt into the White House, the suburban
press, so prone to sit astride of every important ques
ion. is losing some of its timidy and has even become
bold in following The Gateway’s trail.
it is reasonable to believe that, given time, these dif
fident newspapers will eventually emerge sufficiently
emboldened to speak right out regardless of who is at
variance with their policy or who approve of it. It is
not extravagant to surmise that eventually they will
be, like The Gateway and Juneau Empire, bold enough
to propound territorial policies as they relate to the Leg
islature and by so doing assist that body in its labors
of enacting legislation which meets the approval of the
people.
For every statute enacted seeking to govern social
conduct there emerges the loss of those forces which
olniate these statutes. Among tnese are the conven
tions set up independent of statutory laws and made ac
ceptable thru their appeal to the sense of right and
wrong and their quality of tempering and gentling hu
man nature and elevating the mind above the bestial and
the sordid.
Persistent fahh in the power of advertising was
the secret of success of Thomas Lipton in establishing
a world-wide business from a tiny Glasgow store.
Mrs. Icy Love of Paris, 111., is sueing for divorce on
the charge of indifference. What could she expect with
that line of goods?
It’s a poor executive who can’t take a vacation with- !
out being missed.
The more we read of Hollywood the more firmly we
are convinced it should be called Jollywood.

ALASKA WOLF-DOG
TO SEATTLE SOON
Katektoak Alepeta, 190-pound
Alaska wolf dog that has starred
on the screen and stage and now
is in California on a tour introduc
ing to other canine pets a rein
deer product packed in Seattle,
yearns to spend the Christmas
season in Seattle. This his owner,
Bill Strother, communicated In a
letter to Harry M. Irelan, King
County Humane Society manager.
“And I’ll bet it can be arranged,”
j daid Mr. Irelan. “Seattle is the
| port where the big dog first landed
I when he came from his native
' heath in the Arctic Circle several
years ago- The dog, whose name,
translated from the Eskimo, is
White Rover, showed in Seattle last
February at the Northwest Pro
; ducts Exposition of a Seattle de
1 partment store. His gentleness and
| intelligence made a hit with both
youngsters and adults, and they
j demonstrate what humane treat
ment will accomplish with an ani
' mal three-fourths wolf.”
Mr. Jrelan said he would take up
: with White Rover’s sponsors the
j subject of routing the dog to Seat
| tie for the Yuletide.
VALUE OF GOLD
Gold is the only substance that
is freely accepted in return for all
services and in exchange for all
other commodities in all parts of
the globe—the one commodity the
market for which is never glutted
China, the home of Confucius,
is still in confusion.

YUKON CHRISTMAS
By WALTER MUNSON
A health to the man on the trail
tonight,
For it’s Christmas Eve and cold;
j Though he finds no hearth, may his
camp fire blaze
\ With a heart of ruddy gold!
J May his team hold up, and his grub
hold out,
1 And his gun bring down fresh
meat;
May he feast this night like a man
or lord,
Though he sits alone to eat.
•
May the wolf pack kill on its hun- !
ger run,
That his dogs may prowl in |
peace;
May the kind grow still as the mid
night stars,
And the ice-toothed blizzard
cease.
I
) j
May Aurora play in the arctic skies,
And glint on the arctic snow,
With colors as bright as the Christ
mas trees
In the South he used to know.
May he sleep snugged down in a
bed of furs,
And dream of the joy and mirth
That a man will miss on a Yukon
trail
The night of the Savior’s birth!
