MARQUAM, A PRACTICAL MAN OF VISION
No better proof of the Gateway's estimate of the
character, make-up and qualifications of Thomas A. Mar
quam, Independent candidate for Delegate to Congress,
could be found than is so strikingly discernible through
out his statement on his return from the westward trip,
in yesterday's issue of this paper.
That he is possessed of an unusual amount of far see
ing vision is very apparent from his forecast as to the fu
ture of that section of the territory. That he is practical
is very evident from the fact that he sees the immediate
needs of the country to bring about the bright future he
predicts for that section. His sincerity cannot be ques
tioned, for it) shows in every word he says, and in the way
his face lights up, when he discusses the future progress
of Alaska.
v It would be folly to say that Tom Marquam was not
campaigning on his trip, for Tom is in this fight to win,
and he is a winner, but it is, nevertheless, clearly mani
fest that his trip to the westward made a profound im
pression on him from economic standpoint. The people
of the region which he just visited may well feel that they
will have an ardent champion for their cause in Tom
Marquam.
That he has initiative is clearly demonstrated by the
fact that he readily recognizes the needs of the country
and is willing to forcibly get behind them without waiting
for a clamor of public opinion in their support.
That he is fearless is plainly visible in his prompt
criticism of those responsible for the lack of the facilities
necessary to promote the proper development of the re
gion, yet his criticism is not of the destructive variety,
but is constructive and suggests the proper remedies to
pursue.
These are the traits of character and make up neces
sary to the man who would successfully represent Alas
ka in Congress. And Tom has them all.
The Gateway has one more prediction to make, and
that is that when the next Congress convenes in March,
1927, that the Honorable Thomas A. Marquam of Alaska
will be one of its members.
PERCENTAGE .000
According to the American system of keeping a box
score, Mr. Herriot's two days as premier would give him
a time at bat and an asterisk beside his name.
GUARANTEES
After the corn farmers are guaranteed $1.42 a bushel
for corn, the next thing would seem to be to guarantee
the shoe manufactures $10 or more a pair as a maximum
for all shoes.
A LAW-RIDDEN PEOPLE
So far this year ten state legislatures have enacted
4,100 new laws, but the records show that a law-ridden
people can smash laws faster than the statutory mills can
enact them.
AN IDEAL ARRANGEMENT
France says she will pay England all she owes her by
the end of 1957. If the average man could stand off his
creditors 31 years everybody would have a wonderful
time.
HAVE RESORT TO PADLOCK
J. L. Garvin, the British editor, says that 50 years
hence the UnitecTStates will have 500,000,000 people. May
be our immigration laws will have to be stiffened again.
Americans lead the world in saving time and in beinf
bored for want of something to do.

Here's the Answer to the Modern
Marriage Cry?
Wives l
Do you agree? Freedom for wives; see your husband
only four days a week; do as you please; go out when
you please; with whom you please; where you please; no
breakfasts to worry about; follow a career if you please?
Husband!
What do you think? Is it right; should a wife have
as much liberty as a man; should she place entertain
ment above home worry; should she go out with other
men; would you agree to that?
