Some of our contemporaries are all
“hot up" over the coming- election,
many going so far as to cast asper
sions on candidates running for office,
and others bolstering up false hopes
by prophesying this or that candidate
will be successful. One thing should
be borne in mind: The only chance
that Seward has for representation
in the Territorial Legislature lies in
the election of Aaron E. Rucker, dem
ocratic candidate for representative.
Mr. Rucker is amply able to repre
sent this section, and should receive
the vote of every citizen regardless of
party ties. In a case of this kind
it is up to our people to cast one vote
for Mr. Rucker, as four members of
the legislature are to be elected. If
we are to have representation in the
next legislature vote for the local man.
Secretary J. P. Hannon of the Se
ward Chamber of Commerce has
kept the Outside world informed of
Seward activities the past year or
so, and has sent the Associated Press
some excellent articles, notably the
Swedish American Line
“Only line between America and
Sweden. ’ Direct over the Atlantic
and the North Sea in Large, Mod
ern and Comfortable steamers.

R. F. TILLMAN, Ne
one in regard to the landing of the
! cable from the cableship Dellwood
last week. Members of the * ship’s
crew and Signal Corps officials stat
ed that this was one of the best and
most reliable articles yet written on
the subject, and that the information
conveyed was authentic in every par
ticular. Mr. Hannon has sent out
many stories to the Outside press,
but none of such local value as the
last one. Seward is fortunate in be
ing so well represented.

Letters received from union men in
the states show that all organized
labor votes are not going to be deliv
ered to the La Follette ticket next
| month. The letter says: “Most of the
boys are totally averse to being deliv
ered bag and baggage to the radicals,
j La Follette’s war record should bar
him from ever holding public office in
America, and you can rest assured
| that Seattle and Washington union
labor will cast their votes f6r a man
one hundred per cent American, des
pite the promises of Mr. Compels.”

The recent fatal accident at Anch- -
orage shows the necessity of parents (
‘and others impressing upon the;
\oungster the foolishness of crawling j
thru fences and over obstructions i
with a loaded gun. During the hunt
ing season in Alaska and in the
States, there are numerous accidents
which might have been avoided if the
principals had used a little care and
acted on the safety first plan. A
loaded gun in the hands of a care
less person is always a menace, not
only to the hunter but to the parties
with him. A life can be snuffed out '
so quickly that one hardly realizes j
the precarious hold the average hu- j
man has on living. Not only must i
he guard against his own careless
|iiess but that of thousands of others
| around him. A little forethought will
jsave many accidents. Don’t carry a
I loaded gun when climbing over fences
lor thru thick brush.
! many inquiries lire oemg inaue as ,
to the probabilities of the proposed j
spulp mill being built in Seward, and j
jin reply to these queries The Gate-,
way can qply give the same stereo
typed answer, that it is on the way
'and will be here in time, quien sabe.
I Late reports from the company man
agers stated that its engineers were
jeonsidering costs and other require-j
ments, and that it would necessarily j
be some time before activities were
started. In case it comes Sewrard will
jbe treated to a pleasant.surprise, and
if the proposition dies from lack of
impetus we will be where we were
before the proposition was talked of.
When one remarks on Alaska as
an agricultural country the lack of
market for products grown is never
taken into consideration. Could a
market be provided, Aaska in one
year’s time coud raise enough pro
duce to suppv the Pacific coast states
and within ten ten years, the United
States coud be supplied with vege

A move is now on foot to prohibit
Outside film companies from portray
ing scenes as taken in Alaska when in
fact, they are as far from being Al
askan scenery and Alaskan in charac
ter as is possible. The latest fake
foisted on the public is the “Alaskan,”
filmed from Curwood’s story and ab
solutely untrue in every detail. A
large part of the pictures were taken
in the vicinity of Bellingham in North
western Washington, and are pale and
drab beside the real thing. One won
ders why the movie censor will exer
cise his authority on so much trash
and leave these bald fakes to be foist
ed upon the public. George Edward
Lewis and the Noman Dawn compan
ies are the only people who have taken
scenes in Alaska and whose pictures
are truthful in detail. /All others are
fakes pure and simple. The time will
come when film companies will be
forced to deal squarely with the pub
lic.
Yesterday was Columbus Day, and
Christopher Columbus was tried at
Cordova last week for illegal posses
sion of liquor. If the original Christ
opher could return to America he
would hardly recognize the old place
now. Not only would his stores of Chi
anti be confiscated but the chances are
the whole crew would be arrested and
vagged. The immigration laws alone
would prevent the future discovery of
America by any member of a Latin
race. Taking it all in all Columbus
discovered the country at the right
time. Had he waited a few years he
would have been met at the water
front and given a blue ticket back to
Genoa.
‘‘Men are just as vain as women
about looks,” declares William South
ern, jr., in the Independence; Mo. Ex
aminer. “They pretend not to care,
but if you will notice they all read
about the Prince of Wales and how
he wears his hat and hat kind of a
dinner coat he affects and the busi
ness of the tailor always picks up.
Most men are quite pround of the
fact that John W. Davis, the Demo
cratic candidate for president, is one
of the best dressers in the country
and that his clothes always fit him
and always look well. We like for
our big men to look the part and Da
vis does.”
It seems funny par§graphers are
and have been directed at the women
because of their vanity” says William
Southern of the Examiner. “Now that
the women have invaded the realm
of newspaper writing the paragraphs
have changed a little and the men
have a sense of humor and are will
ing to make themselves the point of
a joke than women. A woman never
likes to be joked about or at. A few
days ago I made an alleged joke at
a woman whom I had just met and
she returned a very vacant stare, al
most a glare, and I immediately
changed a smile to something else,
intended to register seriousness.”
A French savant has discovered a
method burning water in internal
combustion engines, and declares
that within a few years motors will
be run by H20 exclusively. Verily
the world do move. A few short years
ago water was absolutely useless to
most citizens, and in many cases
would have been fatal to human life
if applied suddenly. If it cah be used
for running autos and gas engines
it will never be missed by many of
us.

alarming fact that Alaskan towns
have bath tubs, electric lights and
modern conveniences. The future is

RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
Gaffer Doodle's looking seedy as he
treads the paving stones; you might
think him poor and needy, but he has
all kinds of bones. With his assets
he is weighted, he is not an also-ran;
! he has rubles kegged and crated, he
, has kopecks in the can. Yet he’s al
ways looking dingy, and his neighbors
sadly say: “Gaffer Doodle is too
stingy to appear in brave array. He
I might be, in’ fine apparel, a credit
I to the town, but in firkin, tub and
barrel he salts all his money down.
| And the strangers in our city, who
j are looking at the sights, say, ‘It
j seems a beastly pity you’ve so many
! hard up wights. Yonder graybeard
needs the boodle that would buy a
! suit of clothes,’ and they point to Gaf
I fer Doodle, as in rusty duds he goes.
Oh, it is a public duty for a money
j iaden man to become a thing of beauty
or as near it as he can. But the gaf
_ fer buys a kelly for six bits, or ten
cents more, hunts for clothing old and
| smelly in the cast-off garment store;
! yea, the way the old man dresses
: makes the village boosters writhe, and
| he trims his beard and tresses with
| a sickle or a scythe.” Gaffer Doodle
| mutters proudly, “I’ve been humble
, since my birth; man does not, by dres
sing loudly, prove he’s fixed with ster
ling worth. Men may scoff, but I can
bear it, for their jeers I care no hoot;
for a man of worth and merit needs no
hundred dollar 'suit.’’
The stingiest man in Concordia,
Kans., according to the Blade-Empire,
dresses like a millionaire, and that
; town’s most efficient bookkeeper and
; accountant can’t find his own tooth
i brush at home.
I
i Before they began rolling their own
; women had more trouble with their
garters than anything else, declares
! Adam Breede, bachelor editor of the
Hastings Neb., Tribune.
Not merely is the time coming when
the frost will be on the pumpkin, in
the beautiful language of the poet, but
it will descend on many political
hopes.
The nicest thing about bobbed hair,
is it doesn’t get all tangled up in
| your watch chain or on your vest but
I tons.
“I like to make men scurry across
j the street,” said a certain lady of our
| acquaintance. “They think them
j selves such proud creatures. It does
i them good to take a little of the con
; ceit out of them and causes them to
j lose some of their dignity.’’

KANSAS CITY DOCTOR
INYENTS NEW TRUSS
New Discovery Heals Rupture With
out An Operation
Kansas City, Mo.’ (Special)—A
new discovery which, experts agree,
has no equal for curative' effects in all
ruture cases, is the latest accomplish
ment of the well-known Hernia Spec
ialist, Dr. Andrews, 821 Kock Bldg.,
Kansas City, Mo. The extraordinary
success of this new method proves
that it holds and heals a rupture. It
weighs only a few ounces. Has no
hard gouging pads, no elastic belt, no
leg straps, no steel bands, and is as
comfortable as a light garment. It
has enabled hundreds of persons to
throw away trusses and declare their
rupture absolutely healed. Many of
these had serious double ruptures,
from which they had suffered for
years. It is Dr. Andrews’ ambition
to have every ruptured person enjoy
the quick relief, comfort and healing
power of his discovery, and he will
send it on free trial to any reader of
the Seward Daily Gateway, who writes
him. He wants one person in each
neighborhood to whom he can refer.
If you wish to be rid of rupture, for
good, without an operation, take ad
vantage of the doctor’s free offer.
Write him today.
