THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
Unlike most other towns and cities which elected
new administrations, Seward’s election was more a mat
ter of good-natured rivalry than one involving conten
tious matters. Free from this element and breeder of dis
cord the administration of the new city dads should be
fraught with smooth running and constructive action.
The majority of citizens will undoubtedly greet the
incoming administration by doffing the plumed chapeau
and wish them luck, and a t the same time, bid the retir
ing members farewell, and thanking them for service
well rendered.
DON’T BE A BEAR
J. Pierpont Morgan, the great financier, said: Don't
be a bear in the United States.
Mr. Morgan had reference to the stock market, yet
the admonition goes further and strikes at the head of
many men, especially in Alaska.
The bull in Alaska looks forward and marshals his
energies to create progress. The bear is the man who,
when someone starts an enterprise, becomes the broad
casting agent of gloom. “They’ll never make it go,” he
observes lugubriously; “or maybe they’ll strike it, but
I doubt it: again” the formation is not right and it will
pinch out.”
At this juncture,_ the man subscribing to the bull
side of the market begins to make an assay of the expert
so free with voluntary advice. Either he is condescend
ing to warn a man against taking a chance, or has had a
vast amount of e^nerience in the matter under discussion.
It so turns out, mue tmms out of ten that the lugubrious
beai knows nmhinu of finance, economics, business or
anything calc-nlafpU to direct another in a business ven
ture. ’Yet, to hear him expound his theories, one wonders
why he is nof on th- navroll of a big financial, industrial
mmina or nfher business enterprise at a salary so large
that his fellows would consider him a menace to society.
Yet we find manv such men wandering abroad, ready
to tell a man sending thousands that he is headed for
ruin. As Morgan says, be a bull. Jay Gould said- “A bear
never owned a cottage at Newport.” They should know
. AN?W that Die election is over perhaps the wind wi
quiet down a bit.
Now that election days are passed everyone she
calm down abit and begin calling former friends by tl
first name, once again. J

enforced.”
