BAN THE PEDDLER.
A move is on foot by the town
council to ban the itinerant peddler.
This move is a good one, as Seward
like many other small towns, is pes
tered by these gentry who pay no
taxes and duck out leaving their cus
tomer with no come-back if their
goods are unsatisfactory
Many towns throughout the States
have the backing of the woman’s
clubs, who hang out small placards
with the words, “Notice to Peddlers,”
giving the information that they buy
from home and also having a short
paragraph stating that peddlers are
fined if caught without a license.
The housewives were glad to co-op
.erate with the council in this way in
order to avoid the annoyance of insis
tent peddlers, ready to stick their
foot in the door and who almost have
to be insulted before moving on.
In addition to saving themselves
much annoyance, the women thus
show loyalty to the town merchants
who pay taxes and keep up the
schools. Quality considered the ped
dler can givq you nothing not sold by
the local merchant.
WHY NOT MUZZLE HIM?
Representative Paul again takes the
stage with mouthy frothings against
Territorial papers which oppose his
plans to grab off the pension money

ST. LOUIS, MO.
Fouke Grading ALWAYS Makes Your Fur Checks Bigger
from the old timers. In an attempt to
ingratiate liixnself with Delegate Suth
erland he attacks all and sundry in-(
eluding many of Mr. Sutherland’s ar
dent supporters who have not yet
been able to stomach the pension hi
jacker and his radical platform. The
Gateway has always indorsed Mr.
Sutherland and will continue to do so,
despite his friend’s efforts to start
something.
If the Gateway is a democrat paper
then Mr. Paul is a gentlerpan, and this
paper, whatever its shortcomings, is
not democratic in politics, much as it
would like to be since seeing what the
cat dragged into the republican party.
Mr. Paul might as well attack the Bi
ble for maligning him, as it says fools
rush in where angels fear to tread.
This paper in common with other
papers of the Territory, resented Mr.
Stone’s statements that Alaskans were
not lawabiding, and if there be poli
tics in this resentment, we plead
guilty to the charge.
PROSPERITY FOLLOWS MINING.
Many prospectors and mining oper
ators are returning to the Territory
on every boat and prosperity is again
on the way to Alaska. Whenever the
miner and prospector resumes opera
tions in the Territory business picks
up and many men are employed. With
its cessation hard times ensue. The
prospector is more essential to Alaska
than any other class of men. Unless
new properties are found and devel
opened we can expect no permanent
population, and can look for no mark
ed development. Mining is Alaska’s
best asset and it should be fostered.
