THE NATION’S POWER
While men in high places in the councils of the nation
juggled with theorems of political economy and program,
nine women from the moreate-sized Western town of Des1
Moines, Iowa, fed 350,000 meals to the hungry.
Within a few days these daughters of the Old West,
the subject of the jibes and ridicule of the effete East,
reached back and resurrected from the safety deposit of j
hallowed history the traditions on which their forbears i
had builded that great nation lying west of the Appala
chians.
The system under which they worked was like that
when the prairies was first peopled by the pioneer, and
man leaned upon man and the woe of one was the woe of
all; when the cooling hands of a saintly woman soothed
the fevered brow, taking turn about in serving as nurse
without thought of pay; when those yoemen of the soil
trudged miles toassist a neighbor to rear a barn, or clear
a field and build a fence.
And wTiile the movement of feeding the hungry was
led by this small group of women, rich and poor, work
ing side by side, the little tradesmen, inspired by the heroic
and worthy labor, reached down and gave of their wares
and stocks of food in the same spirit of brotherly love as
their ancestors had given to those struggling to gain a
foothold when Iowa was young.
Truly Kipling has said: “For the East is East and
the West is West and never the twain shall meet.”
The dry rot undermining the Atlantic coast is like that
of a decaying forest. It is born of a divorcement of the
human traits found nowhere superior to those of the
West. Like a wave which has spent itself against a cliff,
it seems necessary for the West to lash back to the East
and teach it the way to survive on the only principles
which may sustain a nation—those embodying brotherly
sympathy and the old traditions, not overlooking the
Biblical answer to Caine’s question: “Am I my brother’s
keeper?”
If business keeps turning corners it will be necessary
to open more streets and alleys to accomodate it.
Argentina captured many of the speed events at
the recent Olympic Games. It takes a swift foot to out
dodge an Argentine revolution.

VALDEZ YOUTH ALREADY
HAS NUMBER HOURS IN
AIR TO HIS CREDIT
“I’m Irish, not a Swede! Further
more, I have never even seen Sel
dovia,” exclaimed Bill Egan, under
treatment at the Seward General
Hospital for a dislocated shoulder,
upon calling at The Gateway office
today to help keep the records
straight.
“All I know about Seldovia is
that all the fish for the world is
packed in those parts and that it
is also famed for its good looking
women,” Bill added. “I’ve lived at
Valdez all my life and we will yet
see the day when skyscrapers will
pierce Valdez clouds.”
Bill is a brother to Alaska Egan,
former member of The Gateway
staff, who has been at Oakdale,
Calif., for several years past, where
he is rapidly gaining a reputation
as a top-notch newspaperman. The j
Egan family is one of the best i
in the Valdez district.
Bill’s ambition is to become a li
censed airplane pilot and it won’t
be long before this ambition is at
tained for he has already had many
hours of solo flying to his credit.
He plans to return home on the
next steamer.
