POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK
Some of the papers of the Territory
21 re roasting John VV. Frame for run
ning for National Committeeman on
the Republican ticket, believing, it is
presupposed, that the party is a close
corporation with no stock for sale.
Many of the same papers which are
roasting John \Y. have bolted the tick
et several times and attempted to elect
an opposition candidate which also was
their privilege.
We believe that any man should
have the right to run either as a dem
ocrat or republican. A man cannot be
a democrat all his life and swallow
free tariff, no tax platforms without
seeing the error of his ways. John
has changed his politics several times
in Tocao affairs, and has given some
of his opponents a strong run for
their money.
Organizing the Pathfinder at Anch
orage, he removed it to Valdez, pub
lishing it in the office of the Miner.
The magazine leaped into instantane
ous success and was later sold to a
syndicate of business men there for
$750, which included the subscription
list and good will, the only visible as
sets at the time. Personally the edi
tor of the Gateway got quite a kick
out of John, and found him a very
agreeable man to do business with,
with a strong personality and many
ideas for the betterment of the Terri
tory. Theassociations were very
pleasant up to the time he returned
from other business.
John W. may not get elected but he
v ill have considerable fun out of the
campaign, as he wields a virulent pen
and knows how to write. He is also
well acquainted with the Territory and
its people. The Gateway does not be
lieve in opposing any candidate for
any office but give a square deal to
all. We have found many men in the
Territory worse than John W., and in !
case he secures the office wish him ev
ery success.
What if the Republicans had got a
square whack at the war profiteering.
V>e’ll bet they wouldn’t have stopped
at ordering 48 pairs of spurs for each
officer in the war.
The germ of war is first manifested
when one nation believes that another
is up to something.
Apparently a party can be in power
and yet not be in clover.
Just because it is a light bill is no
reason that it cannot be heavy.
The man that thinks women arc sil
ly is not the man they are trying to
please.
The Democrats said “Ha” when the
ail scandals were first exposed, and
now that McAdoo is mixed up in it
:he Republicans are saying “Ha, Ha!"
Advertising Pays: The Anchorage
•itizen who advertised for a wife is
now advertising for a divorce.
If punishment really shows a crim
inal the error of his ways now come

It might have been worse. Dohcny
night have leased the treasury.
Any old artist apparently can do
Uncle Sam in oil.

“IP?: tough.” remarked the knife a'

It might be well to quit talking
bout the deficit in Pioneer pension
loney and hold an investigation.

Frank Hendrick, the New York law

jury which selected the plan on whicl

League of Nations so that no plan
which ignored the League would re
