.JFrom the Alaska Weekly columns
Earl W. Knight, in the inimitable
“Brisbane” fostering the welfare and
goodness of Alaska comes forth in
a recent issue of the Alaska Week
ly praising the Fourth Estate and in
cludes the Gateway’s special num
ber. The following is acknowledge
ment of the Prosperity Edition when
she arrived in the Spirit City:
“Our Alaskan brethren in the
newspaper game continue ot render
yeomen-like service to the communi
ties they serve and the territory at
large. The “Prosperity Edition” of
the Seward Gateway, issued during
December, wras not only a remark
able edition from a standpoint of
adequately representing the business
houses of Seward, but was crammed
with well edited information on
Alaska. The Special Christmas num
ber of The Fairbanks News-Miner
was also a mighty credible issue—
one of which Fairbanks may well be
proud.
“Sidney Charles has started a
newsy well-edited weekly at Ketchi
kan and Clarence Lemaster has en
tered the field at Sitka with the
Sitka Progress. Other papers in
the territory are plugging away do
ing their full share in community
and territorial development. In un
faltering loyalty, optimism and will
ingness to give their best in return
for camfpariatively little monetary
recompense the newspaper men of
Alaska have an enviable record.
We wish them all a prosperous and
pleasant 1926.”
FROM COLONEL “DICK”
As Colonel “Dick Richardson
is stereotyped in every Alaskan's
memory little must be said re
garding his introduction. Colonel
“Dick” was in Seward last summer
and had dinner with the local Cham
ber of Commerce and carried that
true Alaskan spirit as he was al
ways reputed to have had. His
special number from the Seward
Gateway reached him and in his
own words he has the fallowing to
say:
“Editor, Seward Gateway,
“Seward, Alaska:
Dear Sir:
“Ever since the receipt oif your
Prosperity Edition of the GATEWAY
December 5th, I have been intend
ing to write and congratulate you
upon its publication. I appreciate
the amount of work required to bring
out an edition of this kind. I have
exhibited it with pride to many of
my friends at the Army and Navy
Club, all of whom are surprised to
know that a small town in Alaska
would publish such an edition.
“ With best wish for the New Year,
I am
“Your sincerely,
* “W. P. RICHAiRDSON,
Colonol, UjSA., Ret.”
ALIEN REGISTRATION
All good Americans are desirious
of seeing the lawless or undesirable
foreign element kept out of the coun
try and also favor the deportation of
this class of aliens.
But the proposal to be urged in Con
gress requiring the registration of all
aliens, in order to keep track of them
and prevent unauthorized persons
from remaining in the United States,
is of doubtful expediency.
Granting that there are numerous
foreigners who have unlawfully gain
ed admission to the country, not all
of them are really objectionable.
Many of them appreciate the advan
tages of living here, and will hardly
do anything whereby they might for
feit those advantages. The number
of vicious aliens who sneak in is neg
ligible, when their percentage to the
whole population is considered.
Again, a registration law will not
entirely cure such evils as may exist,
unless such a law shall possess some
miraculous power not inherent in any
of our present statutes.

But a registration law will make
jobs for another battalion of govern
ment inspectors and agents, which it
about the only effect that may be pre
dieted with absolute certainty. Thai
it will breed further bribery and fur
ther blackmail can hardly be doubted
There is no general demand by the
public for such a law and the bureau
crats who are agitating it ought to be
sat upon hard.
It is estimated that people of the
United States spend about seven times

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is "Looking Ahead.”
