The Gateway yesterday paid four
cents a ward—FOUR CENTS A
WORD—for its telegraph, dispatches
so that the people of Seward might
learn today what was going on in:
the ourside world today. Of course,
that is not a paying game. Saward
is ye» too small to justify that ex
penditure but the Gateway is a
spcrt and has been a sport aud
tock its medicine when. the gamble
wcnr against it iu the dark days of'
Seward before it was a great rail
road terminal.
By a strenuous bit of work aud
by the payment of this great price
the People of Seward were told of
the horrible occurrence near Seat
tle, what war news there was, the
story of the suspected series of
murders by Krause, the sending of
Hindeuburg to the western fromt,
the denunciation of British officers
by an Hbglish lord, and other hap
peuiugs before they becamo a mouth
old.
Let us hope, dear friends, that
you will uot take this as blatherski'«.-<
ing, a uractice which is only too!
common in the newspaper world,
ai'd wh.;ch compels real newspapers,
that dou t live off wind, sometimes
to speak a work for themselves.
—S»ward Gateway.
So did we. So did every paper
in Alaska. And still our readers
are wont to say that Ve do not
give them all that we can for their
money. Let us hope that the
frieuds of the Alaskan will uot
think t2at WE are "blathenskit
ing," but rather only letting you
iu ou one of the family's financial
secrets.
Meu who occupy any public posi
tions should act above board if
they wish to avoid suspicion. Se
crecy is essentially the cloak of the
nan w ho has something he wants
to hidu. It really seems remark
able how some men cannot Bee that
they will gain much more resptx.-'
if thye come out openly and
boldly and take the public
which elected them intQ their con
fidence, especially when they are
dealing with the public purse and
business. And, men who may be
oerfectly honest and honorable of
ten seem lo harbor the peculiar idea
that bwause a thfuj: is done se
cretly it is doue cleverly. This idea

in any cne section, except the re

The rreatest growth in agricultural

DOUGLAS KIDDIES
RENDER APPROPRIATE
THANKSGIVING PROGRAM
Douglas, Nov. 24—The primary
department of the Douglas schools,
under *he tutelage of the Misses
Elizabeth Boyle aud Catherine Mar
loney, rendered a very elaborate
Thanksgiving program in the as
sembly room at the high school
building this afternoon. The Toom
was beautifully decorated in the
Christmas colors of red and green,
showing that a great deal of time
and energy had been spent in pre
paration for tho event. The pro
gram began at 1:00 o'clock.
HIS "LAST STAMPEDE"
"I ^uess I've made my last stam
pede," said J. D. Sharp, a miner,
of Juneau, as he boarded thfl steam
er Georgia last night. Sharp Ss on
his way to Sitka to enter the Pion
eers' Home. Peter Norberg of
Fairbanks and J. Hartigan of Ka
talla also will enter the home,
having left last night.—Juneau Em

Joyous Course In Conversation In a
Brazilian Handbook.
Occasionally are board expressions of
discouragement that the South Ameri
cans do not respond warmly enough to
our efforts to win their conlidence. Let
the doubting peruse tlie pages of a
booklet published in the city of Para, n
copy of which has been received by a
merchant dealing with Brazilian Arms.
"Ingllsh For the Mass" Is the title of
it, translated by the author. Apparent
ly the "mass" In Brazil, whoever it
may t>e. ueed not be very fastidious hi
the matter of spelling, for the tlrst ten
or twelve pages, devoted entirely to
columns of words, would not earn a
very high percentage In a primary
school examination.
"Conversacions for tlie Dally" is the
heading of the first round of this battle
with English syntax. Then follows a
sample of a "Vonversaclou" that should
take place between two Americans
meeting each other out walking.
"Good morning, sir. Is It not the dav
fine?"
"Very pleasantly, thank you, and how
are you?"
"Very goodly, with your permission,
sir. Are you walking'/"
"Yes. sir, for the health. Will you
break some fast with mo7"
"Gracious, yes. Shall we go to the
coffee?"
"With pleasantness, sir Let us eat
meat and brp.nl"

And bo each lesson progresses until
the mass is supposed to be so advanced
as to bo able to enjoy a more scholarly
essay on "Tho American Bellman."
"The American Sellsman," writes the
author. "Is typically of an energy which
Is to admire In the warmth of tropica.
Of a youthfulness generally, ha
breathes lively and walks springly,
searching the customer loyally for tho
firm his.
"To all ho greets smiles, sad one Is to
admire his frank. He Is fresh of tho
cold northerly. Yot under the breast of
the American sellsman beuta the heart
warmness, therefor let us give greeting
smiles with two bands open to him
crying 'welcomo to Brazil, Mister."'
Need the United States business man
be discouraged with such a greeting
awaiting his commercial representa
tives when they sail south to capture
the South American trad®?—New York
