SEWARD WILL HAVE A FINE NEW SCHOOL
The dream of years came true yesterday when tax
payers of the city voted almost unanimously that the
town of Seward be bonded for $50,000 in ordei\a new
school might be built.
Nothing in recent years, locally speaking, was re
ceived with so much rejoicing when a count of the ballots
revealed the voters choice. The children, especially, were
thrown into ecstacy of joy; the citizens, as a whole, were
intensely pleased for there had always been the doubt
the issue would not carry.
Members of the council assured the citizens there
would be no extra burdens placed upon them, and on the
other hand numerous citizens had pointed out the
savings families would make in having their children
finish their high school education in hn accredited school
. in Seward instead of sending them to another city. So it
means that the thousands—it really amounts to that—
of^dollars spent in other cities for the education of their
children, and those who follow in the years to come, will,
in the majority of cases, now remain in Seward.
Hereafter progress in Seward may be gauged
from the year 1928 when the new school was built.
This man Robert Frothingham is like old wine, the
longer he stays with us the better we like him. And that
goes for the other 400 pounds and close to two centuries,
Newton E. Hess and John Taylor. Let’s hope they see and
get lots of “wild life” Westward.
Mrs. Blair, Democratic leader, wants to abolish polit
ical platforms. Might as well, as no one ever stands on
them.
ABOUT TIME TO KICK ’EM OUT
We compliment Secretary Work for the stand he
took and we wonder of those who read today’s disnatch
from his report referring to some one’s bright idea, of
more stringent law enforcement in Alaska whether they
will discern the political move behind it and whether they
will get much of a kick from it. Some of these peanut Alas
ka peanut politicians who have not the welfare of the
Territory at heart but are simply seeking a soft berth,
make the average Alaskan, who—we are sorry to say,
spend too much of their time in personal interests—bust
out with laughter, over their childish attempts to mould
Alaska to their liking; not the peoples, by a long shot.
The day is not far off when Alaskans will become heart
ily disgusted with this gang and throw ’em out.
“You got a regular town here/’ remarked a local vis
itor last evening when he heard how the school bond
election went over.
Upon reflection wouldn’t it be better to chain as well
as wire some Congressmen and Delegates? '
This is the season of straw hats and straw votes.
At times both indicate which way the wind blows.
An Alaskan political patriot is a fellow who thoroly
believes that the country is going to perdition if his side
doesn’t win. And it probably will the wTay she’s raring’.
Forestry week is over, but the fuss over presidential
timber goes on.
