MEMORIAL DAY
Alice more the nation pauses in the midst of its many j
"activities to honor and revere the men who bore arms 1
for the United States. In most towns and cities it is the
occasion of the annual pilgrimage, of spirit as wTell as I
body, to the hallowed precincts of the departed, where
the beautiful custom of decorating the graves with!
flowers is carried out.
It is with sad hearts that the people note the thin-!
ning ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. Each
year they obey the order to close ranks and to carry on.;
Time has not daunted their stout hearts, and it is safe
to say that so long as the veterans have the strength to j
lift a hand in salute they will take part in the ceremonies
honoring their fallen comrades.
Marching with the veterans of the Civil War today j
will be the slouch-hatted soldiers of ’98 and the khaki-;
clad men of the World War. These younger generations I
of veterans, while paying reverent tribute to the dwind-;
ling ranks of the older men, have their own hero dead to |
remember in prideful sorrow.
It is heartening to see the American Legion take up:
public service where age-w^orn warriors of ’61 and ’65,
are leaving off. It brings a feeling of security to see the i
affairs of the republic in such capable hands. We need;
have no concern for the devotion and the patriotism of;
the younger organizations, but wTe should do well to
search our hearts to learn if we can match their high!
ideals. > j ■ * t
The rank and file of the public should not regard j
Memorial Day merely as another holiday to be passed |
in the pursuit of pleasure. Rather, the people should i
look upon it as an occasion when the nation should hon-1
or its defenders. We should keep the spirit which
prompted the veterans to offer their all for their coun
try if we are to preserve our lands from the perils of;
the future.
THE BRAYING OF ASTHMATIC BURROS
A small Southeastern Alaska weekly has been cast
ing veiled “shots” at The Gateway toward its attitude
on Alaska Railroad matters; the paper does not name
The Gateway but it might just as well have done so be
cause this paper seems to be the only one along the
rail belt commenting daily on events.
We do not mind being dragged over the coals; rath
er enjoy it. It adds a little zest to the game. Everyone
has a right to their own opinion.
But when, as an indirect “stab” at The Gateway
lacking “guts” to say something original themselves—
the Anchorage Times and the Fairbanks News Miner
reprints the comment—we feel called upon to get a load
off our hairy chest.
Both papers mentioned above have as much circu
lation as an oyster, and as little influence with the gen
eral public as the bray of an asthmatic burro. If you see
it in the Fairbanks News Miner or Anchorage Times—
it’s a safe bet it isn’t so. Their once intellectual toes have
been turned to the daisies. Toad*-eating, tip-taking, organ
grinding sheets, they exist on a very attenuated variety
of wind-pudding.
Outside of that, they’re all right.
Alaska’s wealth of wonders are even a source of
constant admiration to Alaskans.

LOCJI. BUSINESS ill,
The God of Love, the Honorable
Dan Cupid, ended a brief but
pretty romance at Cordova this
| week when one of Seward’s busi
ness men, Harry Kawabe, fell be
fore one of Cupid’s darts and took
unto himself a bride, Miss T. Ka
wano of Tacoma. The happy new
lyweds arrived on the SS Yukon.
The couple became acquainted
during Mr. Kawabe’s visit to the
States last winter and it was not
long before they were engaged.
Before leaving for Alaska Mr. Ka
wabe exacted a promise from his
lovely little bride that she would
come North this spring. This fall
the couple will make a honeymoon
trip to Japan.
