THE MASS MEETING.

At the meeting to be held on
Wednesday night the scheme of a
yernment built railroad from the
coast will. OF course. be indorsed.
tor il is inconceivable that there
is man, woman or child OF think
ing age in the district that would
not like TO see railroad here. It
is the part OF wisdom. however, to
look the issue squarely in the face
and be careful that cur ardor con
corning the railroad is not allowed
10 jeopardize our chances for get
ing the automobile road appropria-
lion; for the latter will mean i'm
mediate relief while the railroad
may be delayed good many years.
There has been an attempt on the
part OF a few to align what they
term the railway supporters against
the automobile road supporters"
some of them going so far as to
say that the latter are opposed to
the railroad idea. This is so fool
1sh a proposition as to be harm
less. as no reasonable person would
give il credence. but the Times has
gone a long way further in its eff
for.s 10 stir up strife and is editori-
ally knocking the wagon road
scheme.
In its editorial column on Saturday
there appeared an editorial from the
Seward Gateway No qualifying
editorial comment on it was made
by the Times and its sentiment.
therefore, may be said TO have been
unequvocally indorsed by that pa
per. Following is a quotation from
the article:
The interior papers are holering
their heads off in favor of home
rule, boulevard from Chitina to
Fairbanks. and such matters. Home
rule for Alaska will follow in the
immediate wake of the government
'Ai""' ~ 9Ntlll. III tDtJl LIZ
WARD WOULD PROVE A USELESS
ORNAMENT IF THE RAILWAY
WERE BUILT"
How the Times. while indorsing
this spasm of asininity, can deny
that it is opposing the automobile
read appropriation is a matter that
will take a deal of explanation. We
have few good roads in this dis
triet parallelling the railroad that
we do not believe the people on
the creeks would be inclined to
call useless boulevards," and the
Times is we'll aware of that fact
But the Toady Times could ever be
counted On to oppose the peoples
interests and it is pretty busy now
at the same old game.

We would remind the Times that
when the Citizen has anything to
say it says it outright, risking legal
proceedings if it thinks such course
is necessary to the public welfare, but
that it has not yet stopped to commit
