ARTHUR BRISBANE SAYS:
“They (country newspapers) are the most import
ant newspapers and incidentally, in proportion to their
circulation, their advertising results are the biggest and
their advertising rates are the smallest in the country
. . . They are read through from end to end. Every copy
of circulation means an entire family, not a family that
lives in one room with a can opener, but a family that
owns its own house, and land around it, at least ninety
times out of a hundred, a family that buys everything
from the roof on the house to the cement on the cellar
floor, from the hat on the mother’s head to the skates
on the boy’s feet. . . Country newspapers not only pay
well, but the service that their publishers render to the
public is, in my opinion, the most important service ren
dered by any class of citizens in the United States ...”
We note with interest the proposed trip and visit of
His Majesty’s ship Dragon, a British warship, to South
eastern Alaska ports. Seems like Europeans are more in
terested in having their battle-wagons make Alaska
cruises than those of our own government. Voyages to*
Alaskan waters by Uncle Sam’s naval vessels are few
and far between.
That’s what hard times does to a man, compels him
to do things which otherwise would' have passed by. This,
with reference to the unemployed at Nome working
over the once fabulously rich beaches. We did the same
some 20 odd years ago; in fact there were four in the
party and the united efforts of all with a home-made
“rocker” brought about $2.50 for the day’s work; it was
enough to eat on at any rate. But who knows, some of
the present lads working over the once-famous beach
gravels may strike something or become so imbued wdth
placer mining they will take it up in earnest.

The postofiiee at Lawing should be reopened owing
to the convenience to the large number of permanent
residents through that area and down Lake Kenai. It!
is hoped that Washington will pass favorably on the
matter for it is these people living out of town who are,
after all, the real pioneers and builders, and their path
should be made as easy as possible. Give 'em back this
former postoffice and we’ll call the deal square.
************
As we see it, the chief trouble with this nation is
not too much tariff or too little tariff, but rather too
much artificiality and plausibility—too much of that
silver-spoon psuedo-respectability which feels itself de
graded by association with Bobby Burns, tolerating
Shakespeare and patronizing Providence.
The Gateway staff is strong for publishing a paper
Saturday, July 4th, but its a legal holiday so no paper
can be printed. (Sotto voice—How easy some editors
can distort the truth.) A two day holiday looks bad for
any printing plant because the question arises, will the
crew be able to return to their duties Monday. Question.

Wonder what the drys are thinking of these days?
With the advent of prohibition, everything was going to
be so much better. Instead it has grown worse as wit
ness the present depression, murder, arson and “what
have you?”

‘BUCKS' HIVE RIGHT
PRESS PHONES SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. (A5)—
The right of the government to
press the telephone company, a
public utility, in its service to en
force prohibition was upheld by
federal judge Frank H. Kerrigan.
He overruled United States Com
missioner Ernest E. Williams, who
had dismissed many of the so-called
“telephone bootleg” cases in which
the phone company had been com
pelled to furnish addresses of un
listed telephone numbers through
which dry agents had obtained de
livery of liquor.
