EMBRYO JOURNALISTS
From time to time questions oi a
national character come bet ore the
people, >ucli as the Hardin.-; Memoiial
which are deserving of publicity and
boosting. Seward has many young
students who could best familiarize
themselves on these national subjects:
by writing on them. The Gateway
would be pleased to receive irorn time
to time editorials written by these,
students, which will be published and
*iue credit given.
We would appreciate having the
youngsters send in contributiens on
»tny public question including the sol
dier bonus, direct vote ol rat people
»or governor, division of the territory,
or any other like subject they care to
write about. Such matters are always
of interest, and will train the writer
to express him or herself fluently, a
valuable help in English.
During the months of January the
Gateway will give one yearly sub
scription to the Saturday Gateway, to!
be sent to any postoffice desired, tor)
the best editorial on any subject of a
public or quasi-public character. The
judges will be L. V. Ray and C. C.
Hinde. The writer may send in one or
.jnore editorials, provided they are on
differ* nt lines.
Our object in doing this is to en
courage the youngsters to write lor
publication.
These editorials will be published in
the order received.
HARDING MEMORIAL. FUND
(By Willis Perry >
li is planned to raise three million
dollars in the United States and pos-|
sessions to perpetuate in the eyes of
the world, a man whose last act and
thought was for the betterment of the
people. The burden ot raising tins,
money should perhaps tall upon the
shoulders of Alaskans more than upon
any other people. Our late lamented
President died because oi his wish to
benefit Alaskans. The least we can
do in return is to help as much as we
tan in repaying this debt. W e can do
ibis by contributing our money to-i
wards an everlasting memorial.
Aside from our personal debt it
should be a patriotic dul\ ot all good
citizens to help erect some remem
ibrance of our great men and Luoes.j
A counu> whose citizens are not pa
triotic is on the way to a sure down j
fall. Patriotism is the underlying in
fluence that makes a nation forge
ahead. President Harding was a man!
so near the people that it is impos-’
sible not to respect and love him. He;
was indeed one of the great men of I
1he age. Let us all do our bit to show I
our appreciation of a man among
men.
THE BALLA1NE pamphlet appears
lo have stirred up a tempest in a tea.
pot among the members ot the An
chorage Chamber of Commerce, which
counts that day lost whose lowT de
scending sun sees not one resolution
passed condemning John. If they
knew John half as well as Sewardites
do, they would get farther by ignoring
him entirely. Publicity is what he is
after.
LEST you forget, leave your dollar
/or tl.* Harding Memorial Fund with
any business house. If each citizen
will vive but one dollar, or even 5u
cents, Seward will have exceeded her
quota considerably.
A ACS ANGELES woman alleges in
her dnorce complaint that her hus
band uifered to sell her to a Mexican
negro gambler for $500,000. How can
she divorce a husband who thinks her
so precious?

JURORS BLAME HADLEY -OR
DEATH OF NATIVE WOMAN
The coroner’s jury which was im*j
paneled at Fairbanks last week to in
vestigate the death of Eliza Harry, a
native woman, who was found dead on
the trail several days ago, near Chena
on the Tanana river, returned a ver
dict that Norman Hadiey, an old tim
er, contributed to the deaih of the
women, presumably by allowing her to
become intoxicated in his cabin. The
jury alleged that Hadley furnished the
liquor to the woman and then drove
her out on the trail in freezing weath
er, and declared that Hadley was
guiity of a crime thereby.
It is reported that W. George of
Juneau has been appointed a member
of the Territorial Board of Account
ancy. R. M. Courtney, another mem
ber of the Board was recently ap
pointed from Anchorage. There is a,
third member to be named.
The Anchorage Times has installed
a twenty watt radio set, Jack Chovin
doing the work. The Gateway was the
first paper in Alaska to install a radio
set for the benefit of the paper, and
many other papers are now realizing!
the advantage of such service.
Ole Jensen, well known miner of,
the interior, left on the last boat for
Latouche where he will work this
winter.
