SEWARD^ THE NATION’S CAPITAL
Like the man who wore the royal
ermine for the space of a day, Seward
can boast of being the nation’s capi
tal for a day, the Presidential party
remaining in this port for nearly 36
hours, while the President keeps his
hand on the pulse beat of the nation.
It is an honor that few cities can
boast, and one of which no other city
in Alaska can take from us, in years
to come.
The citizens of Seward thru the
columns of The Gateway, wish to re
turn their sincere thanks to the offi
cers and men of the transport Hen
derson and the destroyers Corry and
Hull for the fine smoker given last
evening; and we especially wish to
give thanks to Director Charles Ben
ter and the members of the U. S.
Navy Band who furnished our citizens
with a number of band concerts which
were a treat to a community where
a good band is impossible. The boys
of the Presidential fleet have been
a pleasure to entertain, and it is hop
ed wre will have another opportunity
to show our appreciation of the man
ner in which they have entertained
us, placing the obligations all upon
our side. The city started out as a
host and finished as a guest of the
fleet.
The boys of the press at Anchorage
and Fairbanks gave President Hard
ing a handsome souvenir, the first
mentioned giving him an ivory paper
knife with a gold nugget handle, and
the boys on the Fairbanks News Min
er giving him a gold composing stick.
The Gateway was unfortunate in hav
ing its staff composed of but two per
sons, the editor acting as reporter,
operator and chore boy. Therefore
all the gold that could be raked and
scraped up about the office would not
have filled one hollow tooth, so we
were reluctantly compelled to reserve
the gift from the newspaper boys un
til our ship comes in, or on some
other more fortuitous occasion. But
the Gateway force consisting of the
above-mentioned individual can give
the President as much hearty good
wishes and loyalty as our more fortu
nate brethren of the ink pot and
shears, and it does so.
Occasionally a misfit creeps into the
senate, and such seems to be the case
of Smith Wildman Brookhart, of
Washington, Iowa, who, in an inter
view today eulogizes Henry Ford.
As Henry is a political misfit and Mr.
Brookhart claims to be a republican,
the only object in his remarks appears
to be an avid desire for publicity.
Henry is an auto maker of some
ability; but we imagine as President
he would need a muffler as badly as
does his output.
