Alaska In particular and the Territory in general.
LET US BUILD A TOWN F ALL
The outcome of the d< trueF n by fire re
cently 6f the city jail and fire i-.til, must be the
building of another to replace i! - old ore. Al
though we arc quite sale ; - . ing that were
we able to prevent booties tr entirely, we
would have no need of a jai1 But since it is
next to impossible to do so—according to the
officials—we must have a place A care for those
who cannot care for themselves.
Now,under the circum'anc?-., wouldn’t it be
advisable to build what is co coaly called a
Town or City Hall. With ••• n building, the
various departments of the c' government
would have their respective horse. The council
Chamber; the Fire Hall ■ if "table fire
mens quarters; mice depart;: ent and a jail
in the basement, all covered o ’e roof ins
tead of several buildings. Tb towns owns a
splendid site for that purpose, Soon or late we
shall need just such a build in . Fearing that in
mind, it might be well to lo \ io this suggest
ion before the taxpayers are ; Fed to pay what
appears to us a useless expen- .r in putting up
another little fire trap like tin; me just destroy
ed. Since a building must he at acted, let us
have one that will be a ere i: our town.

racy,- or aj

faith a new liberty. Let us hope so,
Postmaster General Burleson, who is to blame
for our poor mail service here, is said to be an
awful stubborn sort of a man, but so is the mule
and H. R.’s auto car—the latter broke its own
er's arm the other day—but Burleson being, it
is said human, has brains and is supposed to
use them and not fight, mule or auto fashion,
by kicking. Somebody will get his goat yet.
If a few husbands in each community would
kill their wives, and a few wives be extended the
same privilege, perhaps the evil of divorce would
be checked. This is not a suggestion; it is mere
speculation. —Oregonian
The arrest of two prominent Seward men by
the marshal’s office for bootlegging, with their
subsequent conviction, shows that the federal
officials are in earnest in their attempt to break
up this nefarious traffic, and that Marshal Bren
neman and his deputies are playing no favorites
n shielding law violators. The prominence of
the men arrested and the fact that thfy had
taken oath to maintain the laws of the territiry
is most deplorable. We believe that U. S. Mar
shal Brenneman has crushed the liquor traffic
in Seward by the arrest of these men and the
confiscation of their stocks. They should now
be impeached and thrown out of their official
positions. When men high up in society with a
good business stoop to the petty crime of boot
legging, they deserve no sympathy from their
fellow' men.—Valdez Miner
NOT A PARTY ASSET
“I am happy to associate myself with Mr.
Taft in this great cause. He has displayed an
elevation of view and a devotion to public duty
which is beyond praise. And I am the more hap
ny because this means that this is not a party
issue. No party has the right to appropriate
this issue, and no party in the long run oppose
it. —president Wilson said in his address in
New York March 4, 1919.
Commenting on the above the Oregonian says
“Some republicans doubtless are against a
league of nations because President Wilson is
for it. Some democrats are for a league of na
tions solely because President Wilson is for it.
“Put the American people—or the great ma- |
jority of them— are for a league of nations be-1
cause they have risen above the levels of par-1
tisanship and see with a clear vision the way of j
duty to other nations and to humanity.”

. Seward is without a dentist and its Chamber [
of Commerce has been making flattering offers
to tooth carpenters to locate in that town. The
molars of the inhabitants of the railway town
must be in fair shape yet, judging from the
rag-chewing indulged in at the expense of the
railway commission.—Valdez Miner.
