BURDEN IS HEAVY
It is no accident that but one ex
president is alive today. The burd
ens ot' tlie presidency are so great
that human strength cannot long sus
tain them, and means should be pro
vided that these burdens may be
lightened. There is no practical, sol
ution ot this problems as the chiet
magistrate must carry on, despite
physical ills. The old and foolish cus
tom ot handshaking has apparently
declined greatly at the capitol func
tions, and this is a great help to the
president in receiving.
The month which proved so fatal to
Caesar will be one of the best in the
history of Seward. The acquisition
of the Resurrection Bay Lumber com
pany's sawmill and holdings by the
large Seattle importing firm and the
announcement that its output will be
greatly increased with a largely aug
mented force of workmen, is good
news for the city. While the Gate
way has talked pulp mill to its read
ers until their patience is worn to
a pulp, there is no doubt that the big
plant will be here before the end of
the month, and the assurance from
Seattle that another large Cold stor
age and fisheries will locate here is
more than welcome. Seward is forg
ing ahead very rapidly, and before
spring merges into summer our hopes
will have been fulfilled.
The Gateway is in receipt of a let
ter from a Scandinavian lady who de
sires to wed some husky Alaskan.
She writes: "I send you my picture
so you can see how strong I be. 1
wonder maybe you know some gute
mans who marry mit me, ja.
I bane goot cook, goot wash, goot
iron, goot garden make me. I five
feet have and way 160 pund. Want
fine faller he, ja.”

Governor Smith's cohorts of New
York have as their slogan, “No Oil
on Al.” But there is something that
smells just as bad.
HIRAM LOSING HIS SUPPORT
An interesting phase of the Repub
lican presidential contest will be an
attempt of Senator Hiram Johnson to
capture the Delegation from Massa
chusetts and the attempt of the Cool
idge backers to win California, the
pivotal state in the Wilson campaign.
There is little probability that John
j son. can make any impression on the
delegates of the old Bay State, and
it now looks as il he would have
great difficulty in winning the dele
gation from him own state. A poll by
I the Literary Digest, while not accur
ate by any means, shows that out of
200 papers in the Golden State, but
60 favor Johnson, while 127 preter
Coolidge, and 13 are neutral. The
MeClatcliy and Richardson interests
of California are against Johnson, not
only on account of his radicalism, but
also because li eis persona non giata
to the Republican party. Johnson is
learning the bitter lesson recently
taught LaFollette, that a man can be
too ’-a iical to suit the radicals.
The States in the Union in 1022
spent $ 120,729,76S more than they re
ceived, a per capita excess of expen
ditures over receipts of $1.22, accord
ing to the census bureau.
The New York man who receiv ed
: $50,000 as the first iim-ailnenr of the
j Bok peace award is pliably watcli
' ing congress with unusual inu rest, as
only after the country has accepted
his plan • an he receive the oth< r fifty
thousand. If cougiess does not make
more haste ove>- the Bok peace plan
than it has over the oil investiga
tions, he will probably wait a long
time.
Twenty-nine crisp days in February
are over tomorrow, and Maich is then
on our program. Whether it comes
in like a lamb or approaches like a
lion matters little to those of us who
are anxious to see the month pass
and summer starts once more. Already
the crowrd are starting back to the
Northland, and soon we will forget
the long, hard winter just ending.
