GATEWAY TRYING TO BE FAIR
It appears to be impossible to con
vince some citzens that the Gateway j
is not in politics, nor does it care a
hoot-annanny who is elected tor any [
office, so long as it can work amicably i
with them. We believe that the paper j
should remain absolutely neutral in all .
civic tights, working tor all and for the J
town at large. Only by doing so can
a paper survive in a small community.
There is no reason why a town should
be torn asunder by strile every time
an election comes round, and we be
lieve it would be better to have no
election if this is to be done.
Fortunately there is no contest on
anv of the offices at the election to
morrow. The people appear to be sat
isfied and most of the town politicians
shied off from having their names on
the ballot this year.
Once again we desire to state that
the Gateway is not in politics in any
manner whatsoever, but is giving its
support to all candidates who pay for
it. irrespective of party or personal
feelings in the matter.
And if you will recall the damage
done in the past by the paper taking
sides on every occasion, you will agree
it is the best thing for the town that
it adopts this course.
Despite the efforts of Territorial
politicians who hope to gain votes by
their action we believe that some kind
of a literacy bill will be passed at the
next session of the legislature. For
those Indians who can read and write
and who have educational advantages
enough to know for whom and what
tney are voting, we have t'm greatest
regard, but it is wrong to have a vo
ter’s ballot nullified by a native or a
white who can neither read nor write,
and who does not know for whom he is
voting. Every State in the Union has
such a bill, requiring voters to be able
to read and write the English lan
guage and it is to Alaska's everlasting
shame that the same bill failed of pas
sage last year. We believ the Ameri
