What is wrong with us? That is
the $64 question which if asked
literally would bring in a flood of
answers, the chief burden of which
would be "plenty,” and such a
multiplicity of complaints that
even the proverbial Philadelphia
lawyer would not be able to make!
sense of them. l
It seems to me that one reason
why no one is willing to file for
office in Seward is the general feel-1
ing that anyone who does is
“sticking his neck out.” Everything
the City ^Council does is either
right or wrong, mostly wrong. The
good that is accomplished for the
community is seldom accredited,
but as soon as we disagree with
their decisions every member of
the council is held personally re-t
sponsible, and he is severely criti-j
cized. I
People are reluctant to place;
themselves in such a position,
especially when there is no re
muneration. and when the work
calls for a great deal of one's per
sonal time and study. ,
Right now the call is out fori
some public spirited citizens who
are willing to face criticism, to
give of their time, to study the in-,
creasingly difficult situation which
will confront the council as the
city grows. Who will, when they
sit down to the council table, be
able to set aside personal friend
ships and prejudices and plan for
the greatest good of the largest
number. This is Risking a great deal
of any man, but it is what we are
asking, and what we expect before
next Thursday night.
There are five petitions being
circulated in town, but no one had
definitely filed for office early to
day. The same is true of most
Alaska cities. Kodiak has one pe
tition on file. Anchorage has two
unless here are others today, Fair
banks has none, Seward none defi
nitely filed.
There should be more than five
persons in Seward willing to serve
the tow*n. Think seriously of what
this means. The present council
has done a lot for which to be
commended, every council can be
criticized; let us preserve what was
gained and revise what may have
been illadvised. Give credit where
credit is due, and carry on. I am
willing to take my share, are you?

Are you too. shocked at blasphemy?
The name of your God? When
you hear it used blasphemously,
irreverently, or even carelessly —
as you so often do—in books and
magazines, from the lips of whisky
soaked tramps and of pretty little
debutantes—do you not feel that
something should be done about it?
The Catholic Church felt so some
six hundred and fifty years ago.
But it did more than feel—it acted;
and from that day to this the Holy
Name Society has been growing
and spreading so that now there
is scarcely a Catholic Church which
does not have a goodly-sized mem
bership of its own.
In this country alone there are
more than 2,000,000 Holy Name
men. Think of it! Two million
votes might swing a national elec
tion. Two million voices could have
a tremendous effect on Congress.
But the Holy Name Society has
nothing to do with the elections or
lobbying. It is purely a religious
body; two million men — some
Democrats, some Republicans,
some neither—rtit all with one
dominant purpose: to promote rev
erence for the Sacred Name of
Christ and to make that Name bet
ter known and loved everywhere.
The pledge of the Holy Name Soci
ety includes also allegiance to God
and country; and no man who
keeps his pledge can be an un
worthy Christian, or aught but a
loyal American citizen.
Therefore, when the purpose of
the Holy Name Society is under
stood, it must, we think, win the
endorsement of every true Ameri
can, of every man who abhors
loose speech, of every Christian who
cannot possibly misunderstand or
misinterpret the simple, straight
forward Commandment of God:
“Thou shalt not take the Name of
the Lord, thy God in vain.”
There is a sound reason behind
every Catholic doctrine and devo
tion.
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
