EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
E' tered as Second Class Matter Sep«
tether 2^d. 19"5. at the Post Office at
Seward, Alaska, under the Act of
March Third, 1879.
Pub’ished by
CATEWAY PUBLISHING COMPANY
Seward, Alaska.
Subscription, $1.25 per Month
THE GATEWAY is in receipt of a
handsome booklet entitled ‘‘Jameson s
Legislative Souvenir Manual of the
Territory of Alaska. 1913.” The pub
lication contains a biography of the
members of the 1923 legislature with
such important inclusions as photos J
of Governor Bone and Delegate Dan
A. Sutherland, together with brief |
sketches of their careers. It is a con
venient edition and well gotten up.
While the people of Alaska will need
no souvenir to cause them to remem.
her the recent legislature, it is appre
ciated nevertheless.
WHEN the bill to make the office of
Territorial superintendent of schools
came up in the recent legislature,
many solons voted it down, alleging
that it would place the schools “in
politics.” That this is the veriest
bunk is shown by the fact that until
such officers were elected in the
States, the schools wTere always in
politics. There is no way ot filling an
office quite so good as letting the peo
ple have a say as to who shall be em
ployed.
NOW that Arcade park is nearing
completion, why does not the city of
Seward ask the War department for
one of the large German cannon,
which are being given to cities ask
ing for them. It would be a fine or
nament to have on each side ot the
dock approach.
LEST the bureau should forget we
respectfully call its attention to the
fact that he best way to conserve the
fish is to stop fishing up the fresh
water streams.
There were some pretty observing
men in the Senate. Learning that the
printing offices at Juneau were furn
ishing Territorial and other public
printing at close to the cost mark
through competitive bidding, one Sen
ator saw an opportunity to humble
the newspaper men of the other di
visions, so he had a bill passed re
juiring that all Territorial printing be
£iven out on bids. Why not extend
he good work and give office posi
ions and all other work to the lowest
bidders?—Juneau Capital.
NOW that the Territory will get
$700,000 in taxes for $34,000,000 worth
of fish, we rise to ask what it will do
with the money. It is not over one
third enough to pay the appropria
tions of the recent legislature and is
not more than one tenth of what an
Alaskan would have to pay on the
same amount of property.
IF THE Chamber of Commerce
desires to learn how to bring capital
to Seward, they should study the
methods of the Seattle police iorce.
These officials can come nearer rak
ing a district clean of the nimble dol
lar than any persons we know of.

Eloise knows that her husband is in
love with his stenographer, for she
found in his memorandum book the
words, ‘‘Get theatre tickets for the

do more than they are paid for never
' get paid for more than they do.
There are two kinds of traffic fools
: —joy-riders and jay-walkers.
Dave says a man’s wife may be a

Anybody can write a moving picture
scenario, but it takes a genius to tell
what it’s about.
A normal child is one that reaches
its third birthday about the same
time it acquires the nickel habit.
“My faith in the shimmy is not
shaken,’’ a Seward citizen remarked.!
No, but everything else is.
Now that long skirts are here,
many old men will resume wearingj

I’m getting a lot out of this, as the

HAPPY WOMEN

PLENTY OF THEM IN SEWARD,
AND GOOD REASON FOR IT
Wouldn’t any woman be happy,
After years of backache suffering,
Days of misery, nights of unrest,
The distress of urinary troubles,
When she finds freedom.
I Many readers will profit by the fol
lowing:
Mrs. J. Malone, 2529 Kulshan St.
Bellingham, Wash., says: “I can hard
; ly describe the misery which I endur
ed from backache. When I washed
- it felt as though my back were break

j i me in the small of my back and near
j ly doubled me up. My kidneys acte(
too often and my feet bloated badly
I heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills am

back and regulated my kidneys.’’
