ALIEN LANGUAGES ON U. S. SHIPS
Congressman F. A. Britten, of Illi
nois, has written to the chairman of
the United States shipping board to
learn why a hungry passenger on the
American liner Leviathan with a crav
ing for calves liver has to order foie;
de veau aux petit herbes et lardes.
Further lie demands to know why an
appetite for chicken hash can be sat
isfied only with hachis de volaile aux
haricots verts. Persons wanting eggs,,
he declares, have a time of it chees-1
ing between ouel's brouille aux reg
nons, at 70 cents, and ouefs cocotte a j
la creme at 40 cents—save that the j
40-cent dish appealed more to the
pocketbook.
The issue was put squarely up to
the chairman when the congressman j
inquired whether he could distinguish |
between Marquereau grille buerre a’ i
anchois at SO cents and Merlens en
lorgnette at the more reasonable sum
of 70 cents. Chairman Farley has not
yet replied.
The Illinois congressman wants to
know if the chairman of the United
States Shipping Board does not beJ
lieve that the United States language j
is good enough to be used on United
States ships. The more one thinks
about it the more one believes the
gentleman from Illinois is right.
The refusal of the American Legion
members at the San Francisco con
vention to endorse the Ku Klux Klan,
or to allow a resolution to go thru en
dorsing their acts, is pleasing to the
average American who has faith in
the ultimate future of his country. The
taint of the Klans has touched all con
ditions and classes, and while it may
flourish but a few years and die out,
like the A. P. A.’s and other anti
American organizations, it is capable
of doing ‘considerable harm on ac- j
count of its appeal to the lawless ele
ment, the man who fears the bright
light of day, or who would mask his
membership in the order under a dis
guise. If the Ku Klux are not afraid
and ashamed of their acts, they should
dispense with the masks and come
ou. into the open like men.
- Winter is upon us, and the wise
man will look to his flour barrel and
coal bin. The town has many idle
men who are apparently passing up
the opportunity of earning from $5 to
$6.50 per day on the railroad repairs.
While time is what we ain’t got any
thing but, there is a long hungry gap
between now and next spring, and
every dollar in the pocket is wortt
forty thousand in the bush. The rail
road needs men, the men need money,
and when the triangle is completed we
will all be better off.
Unless Seattle policemen improve in
their marksmanship, Alaskans had
better remain home where they can
get half shot with impunity. The shoot
ing of Isaac Hamburger, a popular
Federal officer of the Third division
for many years, by a Seattle police
man, who emptied his revolver at a
petty offender on a crowded thorough
fare, causes one to wonder if the of
fense justified an officer shooting up
the town and wounding several in an
attempt to make an arrest. The many
friends of Mr. Hamburger are justly
indignant over his serious injury at
the hands of a man who was sworn
to protect instead of injure him. It is
to be hoped that the police force is
disarmed before the annual trek from
Alaska begins.
That the Alaska Railroad is foster
ing radicalism and anarchy is appar
ent when one visits the bunkhouses
along the railway. In practically ev
ery instance the tables are piled high
with 1. W. W. literature and other
printed matter of an anarchistic na
ture. Why not appoint an American
iization officer to visit these places
and examine the reading matter, in
hopes of making better Americans of
some of the railroad laborers. One
Red in a gang of men can cause the
whole lot to become dissatisfied with
their condition, and lower American
stock considerably. No man should
be employed on a government job who
is seeking to undermine that govern
ment.
At a horse race in New York Satur
day a great crowd stood with bared
heads while the bands played the Na
tional anthems of England and the
United States. Sort of reminds one
of starting over Congress each day
with prayers, doesn’t it?
Parties not receiving their papers
will confer a real favor on the Gate
way by reporting any time they fail
to receive their papers. Only in this
way can we check up on our news
boys.
ROADHOUSE AT TWENTY-THREE
UNDER WATER AT TIME FLOOD
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lawing, at Mile
23, or Roosevelt, have been very busy
the past week repairing damages done
by the recent flood, when the waters
of Kenai Lake flooded, the lower
buildings, driving the occupants to
higher ground. Boats were run up to
the present living quarters of Mr. and
Mrs. Lawing, and some damage was
done to the lower buildings on the
shores of the lake. Mr. and Mrs. Law
ing are planning on building a new
hotel before spring, and a good boat
has been purchased for use between
the roadhouse and the road at Mile
23.
Tomorrow will be held the weekly
luncheon of the Seward chamber of
commerce. It is hoped that every
business man in town will be at to
morrow’s meeting.
