A LONG LIST OF ELIGIBLES
Seward has a number of handsome
bachelors who are well fixed in this
world’s goods, and with the large
number of women writing to this pa
per inquiring for soulmates, it is a
crying shame that a moratorium can
not be declared and a man take a doz
en wives for a year or so. until their
longing for Alaska has subsided.
While the letters of many of these
inquirers indicate mgn oioou pressuie ,
and a:; ardent desire to rush into mat
rimonv without proper qualifications,
there might be one or two in the
bunch who could swing a mean axe or
shake a nasty snowshovel in case of
necessity. A wife used to be a help
meet, a woman who did four-fifths of
the work, and put in the rest of her
time in raising kids and poultry, and
looking after the fires. Civilization
has not improved the modern woman,
who wants her breakfast in bed and
a thousand dollar income. In case our
correspondents believe they can fill
the bill and are willing to take a sour
dough for better or worse, (mostly j
worse), we have a choice matrimonial
list of °lisr!ble bachelors, guaranteed:
to bathe regular and change clothes
at least once every six months, which
will be mailed for a postage stamn.
The Gateway, however, desires it un
derstood that it is not responsible for|
damages, nor does it guarantee prop
erty or title. We deliver the goods
on the principle of caveat emptor.
Notwithstanding' the canneries nro-l
fess to desire laws passed to propa
gate the salmon, fifty indictments
were returned against salmon can
ners in southeastern Alaska for violat
ing the closed season, but one can
nery closing down as required. It is
this flagrant disregard of constituted
authority which gets the canners in
bad with Alaskans. While there were
no indictments returned by Third di-i
vision erand iurors. it is undoubtedly
true that the fisheries laws were vio
lated here, as they generally have
been each year. Unless the fish pack
ers (this means the larger concerns
■who are the most persistent violators)
get behind the people of Alaska and
help enforce the laws, there will be no
salmon to can in a few years.
A registered brand tor a ret^dop’' is
the proper thing. There are more
animals in Alaska than cattle in Ar1_
zona, and there newspaper editors
used to carve out the brands from
small blocks of wood, advertising
them for thirtv davs. Some oueer
brands were recorded, and it kept an
editor busy with a carving set to keep
up with the registry. There was the
Hashknife, the Bo* H, the Flying W,
the Lazy Y, so called because it lay
on its side, the Pothook, the Fish
hook, the Heart H, the Lazy S, the
M & O, the Horseshoe, the U Bar,
the Circle Bar and a hundred other1
well known brands. It would be queer
if Alaskan newspapers had to publish
recorded brands.
In response to an inquiry on the
subject from a subscriber, we will
state that it is against the law for any
public eating place to serve migratory!
birds on their bills of fare. It is un
lawful a price is charged for the i
meal and recent decisions are to the
t-ii*'1 ■ ijr» i.ut? in w uamiui uc rvauru
a pretense that no charge Is
^ ’ “r-r the bird. It Is stated that a
;s evading the law by hiring a
r< ’’-ant or eating house to cook a
m: « nry bird which he has killed.
V'1’- n one considers that the ponu
lation of the Third and Second divi
sions would be greatly increased by
division of the Territory, it is queer
that any opposition can be found to
it. New Federal bureaus and offi
cials would add over one thousand to
the payroll, while the crews on the
vaHous boats employed would swell it
considerably.

“VISIT THE SCHOOLS TODAY.*'
“BETTER PAID TEACHERS”
The Slogan for today In the Eduea-|
• ional campaign being conducted un_
der the auspices of the American Le
gion is: “Visit the Schools Today;
Better Trained and Better Paid Teach
ers and More Adequate Buildings.”
Today is patriotism Day, and the
Flag, the emblem of the nation is
being impressed upon scholars and
citizens.
Forty of the States provide by law
for display of the United States flag
on schoolhouses or grounds. Of these
40, 35 require that the flag be dis
played at appropriate times and the
remaining 5 have laws that merely
permit local authorities to use funds
for the purpose and furnish a flag and
flagstaff. Eight states have no laws
specifically providing for display of
the flag, but doubtless it is permis
siblp in some of these to furnish flags
under the head of “supplies, equip
ment,” and the like.
Some states require private and
parochial schools, as well as public
schools, to display the United States1
flag. Among these States are Penn
■ .. ■■■■■■■■.■Jill!
syivania, Ohio and Wisconsin.
The flag laws of many states are of
the mandatory type.
THE AMERICAN FLAG.
-. j
(By Thelma Tallasen)
The American Flag is the emblem I
of the United States. The red in our|
flag stands for bravery; the white t'or;
purity, and the blue to be true to our
country. Each one of these princi-;
pies the American people try hard to
keep. In times of war and peace they]
prove themselves brave by sticking!
to what they believe is right. They'
try to see all sides of any matter so
they can do what is right. They prove
themselves true Americans by being
true to their country and flag. They
believe in the United States and in
those who are appointed by the pe^
pie to govern them. They try to be
pure Americans by being whole
Americans and doing what is best for
their country. Thus the emblem of
the United States is red for bravery,
white for purity and blue to be true.
