VOLUNTARY PRAISE GIVEN BY
JOURNALISTIC OBSERVER “DO
ING” ALASKA
By PARKER JOHNSTONE, of the
Chicago Evening Post
My time to leave this grand little
| town of Seward lias about arrived. It
! grieves me, but. my work calls me to
{tin1 Interior where i shall spend a
! few weeks in hopes that I may soon
! return.
Before I leave I want to tell the peo
ple of Seward what I think of the
I
j Seward Daily Gateway. My opinion
is not founded upon my most cordial
i reception by the press, and allowing
! my name to appear so many times on
i the pages of news, but rather upon the
j critical viewpoint 1 naturally take to
ward everything and especially jour
nalism or newspaper work.
The Seward Daily Gateway has
more real news, local and otherwise,
in a week than any other newspaper
in Alaska has in a month. You cannot
fcall this statement applesauce for in
| deed I am running chances of hurt
, ing myself. In traveling around the
j country, my bread and butter depends
Upon the various newspapers for which
j I write, so you see I cannot afford to
say anything but the truth, or criti
cise frankly and justly.
The editors have their troubles, as
Jail writers of public opinion do, for
, they have to be so exceedingly careful
| in what they say for fear of hurting
I somebody’s feeli: s. and still keep
i up the standard of the free press.
; Fortunately they are open-minded and
. will listen to r a son. They are here
to help you to make Seward ihe great
est town in Alaska as much as they
can by means of a real news service,
and I say as one who has been con
nected with many periodicals and as
a fair judge, they are performing their
work as masters in the art.
Let us put it this way: Did you
ever stop to compare this paper with
thousands of others? Do you find the
sheets cluttered up with murders,
crimes of all sorts, scandal, lengthy
articles of little news value to the sur
rounding country, and biased opinions
founded on personal bull-headedness?
No, you bet your life you don’t. You'll
always find news, clean news, educa
tional news and constructive view's,
giving praise and encouragement
where it belongs and the “devil his
dues.”
Oh, I know' Seward is proud of the
Gateway. I shall praise it wherever
I go. I mean every word I’ve said.
Now', howzat ? Are you with me?
nowr—’Seven forthe Gateway. Alto
gether—Yea Bo!
