GREAT HEAVENS. AGNES!
It is to be expected the government would listen to
anyone in the alleged limelight when it came to settling
the alleged GREAT BROWN BEAR IN ALASKA; the
so-called nation-wide agitation begun a few years ago
by the little Seward Gateway. Secretary Wilbur of Alas
ka Railroad fame, and President Hoover, who said he
did not believe in bureaus, both take the word of Stew
art Edward White, Robert Frothingham, Editor Mc
Guire and other big game hunters, that the great big
brown bear of Alaska is doomed unless protected. So
by official decree the Katmai National Monument is in
creased in area. The fumeroles will now have to move
bver and make way for the brownies whom some one,
or group, must be killing by the thousands.
We-have said it before and say it once more that
the standing army of the United States could not ex
terminate the bear. Hoover and Wilbur wouldn't be
lieve that statement of course unless some committee so
advised them. We're not kicking about the additional
reserves because within a few years every acre will
be a reserve for some dam thing.
Are they going to lasso the Kodiak brownies, for
instance, crate ‘em and ship them across the straits to
the peninsula? Maybe the three sportsmen mentioned
above will be given the task of coaxing the carnivorous
omnivorous (U. middendor ffl) giants over to the
mainland. This we do know, when the brownies hear
about this decree and sanctuary, some will make straight
for its protecting domain and from within sheltered
boundaries, give many an alleged big game hunter, the
famous international salute.
A man in Reading, Pa.* has given a million dollars,
to be expended along wisely chosen lines, in an effort
to promote understanding and friendly relations be
tween the United States and Germany. There are many
who value peace and friendship and wish for it. Few
really act, in terms of dollars, and the number who act
in the terms of dollars while they are still alive, is
smaller still.
The fellow charged with killing Jake Lingle, the
Chicago reporter, got 14 years after 24 ballots by the
jury. The public is entitled to speculate as to whether so
light a sentence, following so long a debate, really rep
resents what a pronounced majority thought should be
done in the case. And now his counsel seek a new trial.
************
Another visitor on board a vessel leaving the Port
of Seward wanted to know what the sailors were doing;
and one of the officers replied “weighing the anchor."

Consistency in many ways is undoubtedly a lovelj
thing but The Gateway reserves the right to change its
opinion five miniites after expressing one, providing
the argument is strong enough.
Now that the Alaska governor is going to hav<
charge of a bunch of pigeons, would it be proper to cal
the mansion squab roost?
And now it is the humming of an airplane drown
ing out the soft swish of the dog-drawn sled—flashing
wings challenging the romance of Alaska.
Like an egg, a supposedly hard-boiled man is gen
erally yellow inside.
There is no way to please everybody but you cai
please most of the general public by sending a checl
that is good at the bank.
