A GOOD MAN PASSES
The death of City Marshal Harryj
Kanaugh, at Anchorage this morning
saw the passing of a brave and effi-;
cient officer and a good citizen. Mr.
Kavanaugh had been a peace officer
for many yeais, and was well known
to practically every man in the Think
division. He was fearless in the dis-1
charge of his duties and had a good
record as an officer. His death is
the more deely felt on account of his;
family, who reside in Anchorage. Mr.
Kavanaugh met death as became an;
officer, in the discharge of his duty,
Tut his example as au officer is a
shining one. May his soul rest in
l>eace.
This is the third officer who has
been shot down by an irresponsible
criminal in the past six years The
tault in this case lies with the gen
eral laxness allowed criminals, who
are free to do as they please until
*n occasion arises for their arrest,,
when the officer has all the worst of
the encounter from the fact that he is
compelled to await action on the pail
t the criminal before taking extreme
measures, which are oftentimes tco
late. The murderer of Mr. Kavanaug'.:
had previously killed a man. and hi"
a mistaken sympathy not prevailed at
the time, he would have been in a
penitentiary for life. The man who
kills one time will kill another. The
instinct is there. The laws are
lenient with a criminal.
A case in point is that of a young
woman in Seattle who called a young
man from the side of his bride and
shot him down. Her excuse at the
irial was that she thought he was an
other man. She got IS months toi
lier crime because she was a woman
and her sobs worked on the iuray.
The anguish of the young man’s folks
was nor taken into consideration,
mawkish sentiment over-ruled judg_
ment.
The present state of affairs places
an officer in a hard position He must
kill or be killed^ and often in his anx
iety to protect himself an inoffensive
man is killed. Then the officer is
criticised. The only way to stop of
fenses against the law is to make the
penalty so severe and conviction so
certain that the average man will hes
itate at law breaking. For the har
dened criminal there is no hope.
The Holiday season is over and in
reckoning up the average man be_
comes scared and cuts his expenses
to the Quick in an effort to retrench.
While this is justifiable there is such
a thing as overdoing it. Many of our
advertisers have canceled their ads
ni
awing to heavy expenses at CJhristmas
ii.ut, liitle realizing that this works a
hardship on all concerned. If you can
not afford to spend but $120 a year fot
advertising, spend it at $10 per montl
and the returns will be greater thar
by throwing the whole sum on one 01
;\vo broadsides. Persistent advertis
ing pays. Intermittent advertising
does not. It the Gateway adopted tht
policy of retrenchment so popular aft
er the Holidays the town would bt
back where it was three years ago
USES FLAG AS DOG BLANKET;
WILL NOT DO SO AGAIN
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 3.—Yor
can’t use the flag as a dog blanket
and get away with it—not in Birming
ham, anyway.
John Morald and his dog, “Boots.’

spent a night in jail when they passer
through here t^s week, all becausr
’Boots” had tlie Stars and Stripes
wrapped around him to keep out tht
cold.
Arthur Greenwood, commander oi
the American Legion Post, happenet
lo see the two and warned Morald tt
remove the flag from the dog’s bad
because it was being put to impropet
use. Morald refused and was arrest
ed by a policeman.
After a night In jail Mora id a polo
gized before Judge Abernathy and was
allowed to proceed after promising ht
would never again use the flag foi
any use it was not intended for.
H. E. Kristensen came in fron
Grouse Lake last evening.

“The Cheechakos”
Made by Alaskans,
in Alaska 7
This is a picture timed by the
Alaska Motion Pictures Corporation
latA Sring and Summmer. The
scenes taken are well known places
from Mt. McKinley down this way—
over to Cordova—and up to the Miles
and Childs Glaciers. Many well
mown Alaskans are seen in the play.
This is the first and only real Al
aska feature produced entirely on the
ground, and consequently should be
seen by everyone within reach of the
theatre.
We will not delay for late-comers
so get there early to avoid the rush
at the last minute.
O Ots.
WE ARE GIVING THIS PIC
TURE AT THE SAME PRICES.

In a recent telegram received in
Seward from Ruby de Graff, secre
tary for Capt. A. E Lathrop, pres
ident of the Alaska Motion Pictures
Corporation Miss de Graff said
that “The Cheechakos” drew the
crowds away from fiist run pict
ures by Colleen Bawn, Mary Pick
ford and Charlie Chaplin, large
audiences greeting the pictures
nightly. So large were the audi
ences that the pictures were leas
ed for another week, at a better
rate than previously given the
producers. Wherever “The Chee
chakos” has been shown it has
goi.e over big.
