EDITORIAL PAGE j
LESLIE'S JUMBLES.
The Seward Gateway of recent
date says
According to the records of the
whaling station at Seagirt on the
Pacific side of Vancouver Island, a
whale was caught recently that
had a ton of bone in its head. We
estimate that if the bone in the
heads of these creatures could be
grafted on a man, that particular
individual would make a good run
uiug nfiite, from an intellectual
standpoint, for the editor of Les
lie's Weekly. in the issue of Feb
ruary 26, of this paper, appears
an article entitled "Unlocking a
Long Neglected Empire," by one
Oswald F. Schuette, that for ignor
ance of subject, misstatements of
fact, common error, and all around
lack of knowledge pertaining to
Alaska, is the worst we have ever
read, not excepting statements by
some of our congressmen. Among
some of the most glaring errors
is a picture of the waterfront at
Seward entitled "Valdi-?, Alaska,
where the construction of a railroad
from Cordova to Fairbanks may
begin" and just below appears a
picture of th6 water front of Val
dezf labeled "Town of Seward, on
Coronation bay, one of the propos
ed starting points of the govern
ment railway." In another part
of the article, he mentions Sew- j
art! as being on Controller Bay, as I
well as the proposal to start the I
"Cordova Fairbanks line from Val-1
dez." It is hard for one to believe j
that any person so ignorant of-a
subject would attempt to write an
article on the same, and harder t»
telieve that an Intelligent editor
would accept such an article and
Rive it publicity without at least
looking into the facts of tile mat
ter. unless the article w:is publish
ed to wilfully mislead and confuse
the reading public.
Last summer Leslie's sent a rep
resentative, Edgar Allen Forbes,
to Alaska with the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce excursion. Since
his return, Mr. Forbes bag written
a number of clever descriptive ar
ticles concerning Alaska, but thru
them I'll has been noticed the un
derlying strata of kow, towing to
"big business", on a line with the
editorial policy of the paner he rep
resents, which never overlooks an
opportunity to boost for the big
interests and especially the Gugg
enhelms, with a full page boost
for Cordova, a Gugg town, out of
which runs a Gugg-owr.ed railroad,
that the Yid aggregation are doing
their best to unload on the present
s.dininistration. but without a
chance of success.
Register tonight; only 3 nights, left
(JETTING READY ECU ACTION.
Yesterday a call was issued thru j
the columns of the Dai'v Alaskan I
for a convention of the "Non Par- I
tisan Union party" to take place at |
the Fire hall tomorrow night at 1
S: 30 o'clock for the purpose of
placing seven men in nomination
for town councilmen for the ensu
ing year, and also to nominate a
candidate for schocl clerk, and
today a committee of the "Taxpay
ers" party calls a meeting through
the same channel, for a convention
for the same purpose, to be held at
the city hall at 7:30 o'clock to
night.
We are plfeased to see that our
suggestion of yesterday has borne
fruit and that the Sanies of candi
dates are to be plficej before the
people ii; ample time for them
to come 10 a dispassionate choice
of the ones whom they desire to
take charge of municipal affairs
for the next twelve months.
We haven't the least doubt but
that good men will be nominated
upon each ticket, and from, the
names of all tho^e who will like
ly be put up there should he no
difficulty in choosing good mater
ial for the next to\\^i board.
Thin Woman at Advantage Ov^r Thirty
By Dr. LOUIS DUBLIN. Life Insurance Company Statistician
UNDER THIRTY THE VERY SLIGHT WOMAN IS IN DANGER OF
CONTRACTING TUBERCULOSIS, BUT AFTER THAT / GE SHE IS
SAFE. AFTER THAT AGE COME THE DANGERS OP THE DE
GENERATIVE DISEASES. SUCH AS HEART DISEASE. BRIGHT'S DIS
EASE AND LIVER TROUBLE. AND THIS IS THE TIME THAT THE
THIN WOMAN HAS THE ADVANTAGE OVER HER STOUT SISTER.
THE BODY OF THE HEAVIER PERSON, LIKE THE LARGER MA
CHINE, REQUIRES MORE FORCE AND NERVOUS ENERGY TO RUN
IT, AND IT IS MORE LIKELY TO RUN DOWN.
This is clear enough, fof any one can imagine the GREATER TAX
ON THE HEART it would l>e to carry around u. body weighing one
hundred and seventy pounds than to carry a body weighing, say one
hundred and twehtj pounds. The same tax is put on all the other
organs in the same way, and they more easily wear out. It would be al
most impossible to say what was or what was not Hie ideal tvpo of wo
man. Thereare NO TWO INDIVIDUALS EXACTLY ALIKE, and
to say that anyone type is defective seems to me to be going a little
too far.
Woman's Ambition to Fine
? 1 ^Rioht Man
.
By JAMES J. HILL Rai'road Magnate
Every woman has one great ambition the woman ma*
BE IN A COT OR a CASTLE. SHE MAY BE MEDIOCRE 01
SHE MAY BE 3RILLIANT. SHE MAY HAVE DONE MUCH Of
NOTHING AT ALL. BUT SHE HAS ONE GREAT_ AMBITION—TO F1NC
THE RIGHT FELLOW.
Her ambition goes further. It includes a home. It includes a fan:
ily. At no time does she lose sight of this goal. SHE MAY PHI!
SUADE HERSELF SHE WANTS A CAREER more than anything
else. She may even come to believe it means more to her than tin
RIGHT MAN. But let the man come along and see how quickly sin
turns aside from everything to hyn.
THIS IS AS IT SHOULD BE. WHEN THE WOMAN COMES TO
PLACE BUSINESS BEFORE THE FAMILY IT WILL BE A SORRY DAY
FOR THE FUTURE. THE RIGHT MAN IS WHAT EVERY WOMAN
WANTS.
