SEWARD GATEWAY FOR MARQUAM
Ketchikan Chronicle
Recent issues of the Seward Gateway show that that
newspaper is out and out in favor of the candidacy of
Thomas A. Marquam, for delegate to congress. It shows
a shift in the wind inasmuch as The Gateway has in each
campaign supported Dan Sutherland. Like so many other
citizens of Alaska, The Gateway courageously says it has
come to believe that Sutherland has outlived his useful
ness in Washington.
There is no doubt that Sutherland and his cohorts will
now declare that “the canneries have bought The Gate
way/’ As long as that newspaper remained a Sutherland
booster it was a patriotic sheet. Now that it has changed
its view it will be villified. But it matters not, The Gate
way will be serving its district long after Sutherland is
forgotten.
FRIENDLY TOWNS
Small cities and towns that do not have a “Welcome”
sign on every main road leading into the place are regard
ed as “slow” and out of date.
Once upon a time, it is repeated, there was a man who
believed in signs, and taking the one at the edge of town
literally, he drove in and prepared to be real friendly. He
sat on the curb for an hour and not one person even looked
friendly, much less asked him any questions about what
luck he was having among strangers.
This is a mistake common to us all. We boast of our
friendliness and advertise the fact to the world, but we
never exercise our shaking arm on strangers, and never
discommode ourselves in order to give them pleasant re
membrances of their visit.
The touring season is at hand. Hundreds of tourists
are passing through. Some of them will stop here if they
get the right kind of a reception; more of them will be our
guests if we show ourselves hospitable.
If we are going to be friendly, let’s loosen up and act
human when a stranger comes within our gateway.
THE PRACTICAL JOKER
Again the practical joker has gotten in his deadly
work. Paul Bethamen, head of a family and a weaver of
West New York, N. J., woke up in jail and asked why he
was there. The joker said, “You're in for4 murder.” A little
later Bethamen hanged himself. The police docket showed
that he had been arrested for nothing more serious than
intoxication.
NOT SO HARSH
Jack Jones, roughneck member of the British parlia
ment, recently interrupted Lady Astor’s speech by calling
her a liar. Asked by the speaker to withdraw the ugly re
mark, Jones said: “All right, let us call it “terminological
inexactitude.' ”
BIG BUSINESS
The biggest business in the world is your business, as
far as you are concerned. Take care of it by being indus
trious, systematic, polite and agreeable. And don't talk
about other people's affairs. Very few successful business
men talk much.
A NEEDED LAW
Senator Pepper, for whom the most money was spent
in Pennsylvania, lost. So did Senator McKinley, who spent
the most money in Illinois. What the politicians need is a
law compelling them to tell one another what they are
spending as the campaign proceeds.
Virtue, with some people, is just a result of getting
sleepy at 9 o'clock.
RUSSIAN RIVER FISHING
PRATT BACA IN TOWN
The party of local and Anchorage
folk who went down fishing to Rus
sion river last Thursday returned this
