ALWAYS TWO SIDES
Today there came into the office of The Gateway an
Oldtimer from the Interior bringing a tale of woe about
the poor service on the Alaska Railroad. He cited as an ex
ample the present trip to Seward from Fairbanks. He brot
a tale of grievance a yard long of imaginary wrongs he
and his fellow passengers were subjected to while enroute
The Gateway is not running his story for the reason
we believe the railroad management did the best they
could under the existing circumstances. Though a little
late in arriving the train came thru and though many ap
peared to be tired, they reached here safely and intact.
So instead of criticizing the management The Gate
way feels they should be commended. We doubt if any
group of workers could have battled nature more valiant
ly than the railroad forces during the past week or so.
One must accept the chaff with the wheat. There is al
ways two sides to every question and tdday wTe choose to
defend the Alaska Railroad.
SPRING IS HERE
We have reliable information that prompts us to an
nounce publicly that there will be a summer this year.
Today is March 21, marking the first day of spring.
Some of the knockers have been spreading the propagan
da to the effect that summer is out of date and does not
belong to this cold and unemotional age. The Gateway
has taken the matter up with the seed houses and-bath
ing suit factories and is assured that the sun will shine
again with its old-time heat and splendor. Just be pa
tient and you will find that the great furnace of the
spheres is not only a service station for all the stars but
this old earth. In due time and in proper course it will
radiate heat enough to induce the girls to get rid of
about 90 percent of the heavy clothes they now wear and
dress as they should in the summer season.
• WITHOUT OPPOSITION
BISMARCK, N. D., Mar. 21. (£>)—

ernor Alfred Smith of New York, are

INVESTIGATOR WILL
BE SENT TO MION
TO CHECK ESTATE
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 21. (#>)—
Senator Nye, Republican of North Da
kota and chairman of the Senate Tea
pot Dome investigating committee,
announced at Washington yesterday
that the Committee would investigate
the esate of the late Presiderft Hard
ing. Early next month an investiga
tor will be sent to Marion, Ohio to
check up on securities comprising the
estate to determine whether any of
the Continental Trading Company
bonds were in his possession. Nye
said that the Senate would expect a
report on Harding’s estate due to tb*
fact that Presiden Harding signed the
order under which Albert B. Pall, In
ferior Secretary, took charge of the
Naval Oil reserve lands. It was ru
mored, when President Harding sold
his Marion newspaper, that some of
the profits of the oil lands had been
represented in the purchase price of
the paper. Senator Nye expressed
the opinion that the investigators
would find no Continental bonds in
the late President’s estate.
