IS A SPECIAL SESSION OF THE ALASKA
LEGISLATURE REQUIRED ?
(Continued from Page One)
amount to be received from taxes and license moneys. In
the Third Division the matter was presented to the court
some years ago. There is reason in all things and the
better reasoning in this case would seem to indicate a
special session of the Territorial Legislature so that a
final determination may he had, as to whether the Legis
lative body of Alaska, or whether a self-constituted law
making body shall be answerable to the people of the
Territory.
The controversey is not a' political controversey,
otherwise we would leave the matter to those directly
concerned by the withholding of money earned to which
it is probable some legal remedy exists.
We urge the continuation of the principle of repre
sentative government as the only means by which Alaska j
can be rightly governed.
READ ALL OF THIS—OR NONE
(From Yorktown (Texas) News)
“It is a gloomy moment in history- Not for many years—not in the
lifetime of most men who read this paper—has there been so much
grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seemed so incalcu
able as at this time. In our own country there is universal commercial
prostration and panic, and thousands of our poorest fellow citizens are
turned out against the approaching winter without employment, and
without the prospect of it.
“In France, the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncer
tainty; Russia hangs, as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent upon the
horizon of Europe; while all the energies, resources and influences of
the British Empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tied more sorely,
in coping with the vast and deadly Indian insurrection, and with its
disturbed relations in China.
“It is a solemn moment, and no man can feel an indifference (which
happily, no man pretends to feel) in the issue of events.
“Of our own troubles no man can see the end. They are, fortunate
ly, as yet mainly commercial; and if we are only to lose money, and by
painful poverty to be taught wisdom—the wisdom of honor, of faith, of
sympathy and of charity—no man need seriously to despair. And yet
the very haste to be rich, which is the occasion of this wide-spread
calamity, has also tended to destroy the moral forces with which we
are to resist and subdue the calamity.
“Good friends—let our conduct prove that the call comes to men
who have large hearts, however narrowed their homes may be; who
have open hands, however empty their purses. In time of peril we have
nothing but manhood, strong in its faith in God, to rely upon; and
whoever shows himself truly a God-fearing man now, by helping where
ever and however he can. will be as blessed and beloved as a great light
in darkness.”
Now comes the remarkable fact. What you have just read
was not written yesterday, about the conditions of today—but
is a verbatim reprint of an editorial which appeared in a na
tional paper—Harper’s Weekly—on October 10, 1857.
“Of cur own troubles no man can see the end.” They said it in
1857, and it has been said many times, before and since. Depressions
have occurred in American business since the Revolutionary War, and
every one has looked black, and seemed unending.
Every one has been followed by recovery and prosperity.
The Alaskan frontiersman is as much at home in the
silent, forested wilderness as his ancestor in the early Ter
ritories and States.
It now appears that future delegates to disarmament
conferences will have to be disarmed or shackled before
attending these meets.

ALUMNAE AND CITY
HOOP TEAMS WILL
CLASH TOMORROW
—
The first basketball game of the
1931-32 season in Seward will be
played tomorrow night in the
Dreamland Hall when the Seward
high school Alumnae team meets
the Seward City basketball team.
Both teams have been practicing
for about three weeks and they are
quickly rounding into form which
should give spectators plenlty of
thrills when they attend the bas
ketball games.
It is said that F. R. Groth, pro
fessor at the Jesse Lee Home, has
signified his willingness to referee
the game and this should be in
surance that the game will be a
fast and good one.
The City team has a formidable i
lineup which includes Larry Bucy, j
forward; “Bud” Hall, guard; Roy
Neville, guard; Marty Skinner,!
guard; Dave Turner, center; Roger1
Paul, forward.
The Alumnae team lineup in-1
eludes Donald Shellhorn, forward; j
Raymond Manthey, forward; Jack!
Rosness, center ; Otto Sandbeck,!
guard; Guy Manthey, guard.
An attempt has been made to ar
range a.preliminary game between
the Seward high school girls’ team
and a team from the Jesse Lee
Home, but it is not known whether
this game can be arranged. If this
fails a game between two picked
teams from the Seward high school
is a possibility.
The games will start at 8 o’clock
and the admission price will be 25c
for children and 50c for adults.
Latest word as to the arrival of
the SS Admiral Evans from the
Westward is that the vessel will
arrive in Seward at 9 o’clock to
night. The Evans sails for the
South at midnight.
BANQUET FRIDAY
All members of the Seward Golf ;
Club are asked to attend the ban
quet Friday at 6 p. m., in the Elec
tric Bakery, at which time D. E.
Valade, winner of the 1931 handi
cap tournament, will be presented
the President’s Cup.
The Gateway is again in com
munication with the Outside wTorld
as it had a new telephone installed
today. The other telephone, after
years of faithful service, developed
a mechanical defect and for two
days conversation was impossible.
Sewardites wrho called the office
and got nothing but incoherent re
plies yesterday and today, are in
formed of this fact.
With the general landscape!
around Sewrard covered with a few i
inches of snow the kiddoes of this j
city are polishing up the>r sled i
runners and are already enjoying |
the joy of zooming down hills on j
speedy sleds.
