ENCOURAGING OPTIMISM
For the first time in many months there seems to be
a general sentiment that business conditions are im
proving. Several economic indications point this way.
The Brookmire Economic Service, which advises busi
ness of probable trends, now preaches optimism instead
of the pessimistic outlook adopted for 18 months.
As it is based on scientific observations of various
data, and as it sells its service on its reputation for de
pendability this change is certainly escouraging.
i
PERILS AT SEA
The disaster that overwhelmed the sealing ship, Vik
ing, emphazies the perils that exist for those who go to
sea.
One can hardly imagine a more horrible fate for
victims of an explosion than to be eight miles out on the
ice-fringe that barred the rescue ships from rendering
prompt succor to the disabled at Horse Island, off New
Foundland. ,
“TOLERANCE”
The flair for “tolerance” which has lately served
as an excuse for cowardice in facing many questions in
American communities can be overdone.
The observance of the law of the land cannot be
waived aside by the broad observation that one wishes
to be “tolerant” to the law-breaker.
ADVERTISING PAYS
When Roger Babson, noted statician, says that he
knows of nothing better than well directed advertising
to speed up the movement of business, you may take it
for granted that this economic expert is basing his ob
servation upon his study of business in the United States.
Mr. Babson declares “it is penny-wise and pound
foolish policy to cut down advertising because business
is dull,” pointing out that advertising is a valuable tool
which can cut its way through sales resistance and com
petition to progress and profits.
One thing we are glad the Senate investigating com
mittee saw when* in Alaska last summer looking over
the railroad situation; cutting out all those extra trains
which would come to Seward for even as low as one or
two passengers.
************
Astronomers have discovered a new star, which is
approaching the earth. Recalling such issues as prohi
bition, the price of wheat, the relative size of navies,
the alleged great Alaskan problem, and the like, the
newly-discovered star had better change its course.
************
Schiller, freely translated, said that Accident treads
men rudely under foot, without giving them time to
think things over. Southeastern Alaska offers the latest
dismal novelty along that line. A man became suddenly
paralyzed, dropped into a bath tub, seized a faucet to
break his fall, turned on the hot water, and was almost
scalded to death.
************
On his forthcoming visit to the United States, King
Prajadhipok of Siam will favor proofreaders a bit by
traveling under the name of Prince Sukrodaya.
************
Don't try to be too broadminded; many a man makes
a fool of himself with just that idea in his head.
************ '
Mr. Thompson, the new Farm Board member, has
eight months in which to prepare fon his investigation
by the Senate.
************
Seward must depend upon its inhabitants for its
progress; visitors, including peddlers, haven't any reas
on to give it permanent success.
TWELVE WANTED TO
FIT TO FAIRBANKS
BUT NO PUNE HERE
I
The Alaska Railroad came with
in an ace of losing about $600 yes
terday when 12 young fellows
from various compass points in
continental United States and the
Fiji Islands, endeavored to line
up a plane ride into Fairbanks
from Seward but a difference of
a few dollars in price, spoiled the
works. They were compelled, per
force, to take the slow train thru
Arkanas which whistled out of
the depot at an early hour this
morning.
Two of the lads felt so disap
pointed that they went out and
took a couple of snorts.
(The ‘Geoduck’ undercoverite in
town, might try to trace this
down; but be certain to take off
the ear disguise.)
However, their efforts, together
with The Gateway’s cooperation,
accomplished one thing, same be
ing a plane will be stationed here
pronto; ahd possibly two!
The 12 included L. C. Bryant of
Aberdeen, Wash.; Roy Murphy of
Tenakee, Ala.; James Gleason of
Anchorage; Harry Ray of Oakland,
Calif.; Milton . A. Brown of Atter
boro, Mass.; Harold R. Hart of
Springfield, Oregon; John A. Sun
ial of Pearson, Wash.; W. A. My
ren of Juneau; Hanford M. Strand
of Seattle, Wash; A1 Sliter of
Troy, N. Y.; R. A. Sundberg of
Seattle, Wash.; Vincent L. Kerns
of Seattle.
i
George I*. Miller, Bureau of
Mines expert in safety work, ac
companied by Mrs. Miller, passed
through Seward enroute to Fair
banks. The Millers have been in
Southeastern Alaska for the last
seven and one-half month.
