THE COURAGE OF FAITH
He stood barehead and unafraid lifting his voice in
song on a street corner. Many wondered what lt was all
about, for it has been many a day sub* smnethi:ng ajm
to the Salvation Army has presented itself on Sewaul
thoroughfares. , . . .,. ,
Some came to scoff, others looked on inquisitive
some smiled, others listened attentively..
It was merely a man, steeped in religious faith and
seeking to pass it on to his fellows.
Undaunted, he delivered his message in a language
expressing culture and knowledge of his subject matter.
The episode spoke a ripe significance—the courage
of faith and what it cannotes whether applied to religion
or more material affairs.
Under the present order of things there is no ques- j
tion but what all of us need the best shock absorber in
this world, which is a sense of humor.

Thus far The Gateway has not received a “want” ad,
saving the big canneries are seeking Alaska labor.

An optimist is one who sees opportunity in difficul
ties; a pessimist is one who sees difficulties in opportuni
ties.

“I’m not ashamed to shake hands with any worker.”

Some men are successful chiefly because they didn’t
have the advantages others had.

Don’t worry. It won’t last. Nothing ever does!

Under the above caption, the
public will, hereafter, be able to
read from time to time, of the
growlings of that arch enemy of
the prospector and trapper; that
omniverous, non-ruminant, pachy
derm, commonly known as the
wolverine.
The writer, being an old friend
of Sourdough Bill and Arthur
Brisbane, will try and emulate
those great writers of fact and
fiction and he will not offer for
publication anything not vouch
safed by them.
We are sitting in the lobby of
the Seward Hotel, a popular hos
telry, looking East, tracing the
horizon over the peaks and down
into the depressions of the range,
wonderful in scenic beauty, almost
awe inspiring. But one should not
drop his line of vision. If he does,
he will observe, right on the front
of the street leading from the
Passenger Depot, past the Hotel
and on to the Federal Building and
just one block from the business
center of Seward, a scene repellant
to the eye. Dead grasses and leaves
of centuries, rubbish, old stumps
! showing evidence of having been
hacked down by tribes of Indians
now extinct. No fences enclosing
the tract extending from the
Dreamland Hall to the Harriman
i Building. Nothing to indicate any
civic pride of the owners. Seems
as if there should be an ordinance
making it madatory to clean up
< this close-eye sore. Through the
old trees of the desolate spot can
be seen the outlines of beautiful
homes; but beauty is robbed of its
splendor when viewed through ab
horrant surroundings of desolation
and waste.

It looks as if China will win the
, war. Her population of 464,478,386
compared with Japan’s of 63,447,
724 will do it- If the Chinks can
only kill one Jap every time the
Japs kill seven Chinks, Japan’s
population will become extinct and
China will have about thirty five
million left to ship us rice and
make chop suey and noodles for us
Having: shoes repaired with first
grade materials and good work
j manship saves money for you.
Worn down heels and runover
soles look bad. For economy, com
fort and appearance have them
rebuilt.

Japan’s present warfare is very ex
pensive. Her financial structure is
crumbling. Her foreign credit is
already impared. The best finan
cial geniuses qf the world see
nothing but financial collapse for
Japan if the war continues sever
al years more. It takes money to
wage war the same as it does to
make the mare go.
