THE UNBEATABLE SPIRIT
Possibly nowhere in America could a storm ol un
certainty and misgiving have been weathered as has been
the one precipitated by the visit of the senatorial in
vestigating committee and the drastic retrenchments
put into effect on the Alaska Railroad.
It is expressive of a people who do not write fail
ure into their accounting. Not one suspension of busi
ness, and very little panic has followed what would
have been the signal for liquidations and chaos.
This should rebound with stinging rebuke upon
the assaulters of the railroad and Alaska in general
and give impetus to the heralded movement seeking
and forever remove uncertainties with respect to the
destiny of the railroad zone.
One’s strength is never known until put to the
test. In this instance Alaska offers a striking example
to the remainder of the nation in courage, and enter
prise.
A little time must elapse to allow of the putting
into operation of the new program. In the meantime
everything is moving along smoothly, and the men and
women who have laid the foundation in Alaska are
still lit their posts while the transient herd, foreign to
the spirit of the country, are flocking aboard the ships
and heading for-where?
RING AROUND A’ ROSY
Now if you can figure out why we should be des
troying three battleships while we build 15 cruisers
and England scraps five while building some more,
and Japan agrees to play doggo, we wonder if you are
balmy in the front garret or we have buzzing in our
sky-piece.
The League of Nations is in session again. Hurrah!
Hoping for universal peace as we do, we reluctant
ly admit it is like hoping for the millenium. Even in our
cities, counties, states and territories, people fight and
scheme and steal from each other for individual supre
macy. How much more will that attitude and practice
be pursued between alien races? If Christ’s teachings
had been accepted there would have been no World
War with its millions of dead.
If they scrap battleships why not scrap whole na
vies and demand a showdown on total disarmament
Why talk about ships anyway when each nation is
straining every endeavor to fabricate longer range
guns, greater flying dreadnaughts, more deadly gass
es? mm
At the expense of appearing dogmatic we assert
there is no power on earth can curb France’s desire
to dominate one of the greatest standing armies in
the world. There is nothing will stop England’s ambi
tions in India and Africa. Germany is covertly arming;
herself from within and Italy, under Mussolini who haS|
over-bearing pains, plans warring upon both Albanian;
borders. We have announced ourselves the guardians of!
North and South Amerca, and over in China internal!
strife has just about ruined that wonderful old land, j
Just why we should scrap one dollar spent or to be|
spent for our national faith and integrity we cannoti
see. We should be so powerful on land and sea and in
the air that no one dare attack us and thus make
future war impossible.
The Alaskan, in a recent issue, gave credit to The
Gateway for a political editorial lambasting certain
ambitious Territorial candidates. We never wrote itj
but we’ll take the blame for it, anyway.
They do sav that one of the imnortant questions
coming- uo at the November Territorial election is
whether or no we shall have more and better liquor. I

A slash of the throat with a j
J razor, then following with aj
I bullet in the brain and Tom j
Black, colored, had passed into}
the great melting pot of nature. |
Tliis is the report received:
yesterday by The Gateway from
Anchorage.
Like the Leonidas, who re- j
! turned from battle without his:
| chief, Tom felt that he had
j tailed to uphold the code of the
| trail in returning from McKinley
| Park without Tom Kinney, who,
| a few days ago was found dead
j beside an equally dead camp!
! fire. I
| Kinney and Black had search-1
;ec} for weeks in an effort to re- j
j locate a lost mine, which Kin-’
i ney had encountered many
i years ago in his wanderings. The
story of Kinney’s tragedy is still
fresh in memory.
After weary days of searching .
alone and then with park guards :
Black returned to Anchorage
j showing visible signs of great
sorrow. To friends he expressed
it was burdening him—he felt
that he had failed where he
should have succeeded. Kinney
I suffered a stiff knee, and trav- ,
elled slowly. Tom felt that he I
should never have left his aged!
white companion to follow him
to camp. He felt that he had’
fallen short of what was re-!
quired of him in not remaining!
■ to the end whatever it might!
bring.
After writing a letter asking!
that his sister be notified and
j arranging for the disposition of j
: his effects, Black ended it all. |
