The seward Gateway is prrNed because mention was made in the Prospector that the Road Com mission planned to make the .Fairbanks-Va wagon road passable for automobiles, and thinks that Inc commission should parallel both tide water and railroad by building wagon road to connect Seward with Ken al and the Gateway demands an allotment this season from the commission of $3O,O00.
 If the Seward Gateway is so anxious to have $30,O0O expended on the Kenai-se@ard route it would be we'll, before criticising the Road Commission, to know just what the appropriation pass cd by congress was for. The item carrying the sum of $100,00O is the amount estimated and ap- proved by the War. department and passed by the House of con- gress, for repair and mainten- ance of military and post roads, in Alaska. the principal one of which is the road from Valdez to Fairbanks with the winter ex- tension to Fort Gibbon and Sew ard Peninsula. .... t. ~.~
 Seward has strenuousiy agitat- ed the purchase of the railroad terminating at that place, and this agitation, together with other ag- itation in respect to government constructed railroads and the question of coal lands, has caus- ed congress and the War depart ment to take the attitude for two or three years past that until these questions were settled, on- 1y sufficient appropriations should be made for repair and maintenance of roads already constructed.
 If the people of the kenai Pen insula really want a wagon road to connect Seward with Kenai, let them get together and ask con- gross for an appropriation for this purpose and if they are suc- cessful, they will find the Road Commission ready and willing to expend the money to the best pos sible advantage.

The Blind Tiger or
Open Saloon

We have recently been asked
this question: (Which is worse
the blind tiger Or the open sa-
loons?" We will answer the quo
tion by asking another question.
Which is the worse to legalize a
wrong thing or to make 1t legal?
No sensible man will attempt
to uphold the sale and use of in
toxicating liquors as something
that is uplifting to society and
therefore right, II a man should
claim such to be the case. we
would refuse to discuss the ques-
ton with him Any one so far
lost in sin as to take this unreas-
enable position, should not be
respected enough to- engage IN
the discussion of any question
with him.
There is moral side to this
question, and, before we discuss
it, in any other light, let rs exam
ne it in this respect.
Is it moral right to get drunk?
DoesIGod's Word approve of such?
Let HIM who advocates the open
saloon, with the judgement look
ing him full in the face, answer
these questions. Is it right TO
even drink whiskey as a bever-
age? Let HIM who favors saloons
answer.
Have saloons been a blessing
to those who, haye sbent their
money in them? Let the patrons
of these devll--dins answer, truth
fully. this question. Do open sa
Icons advance the kingdom of Je.
sus Christ? Let him who stands
for the whiskey traffic, in any way
legal or illegal-answer this ques-
ton. Do open saloons make sober
men out of our boys? Let the
man who stands for them prove
that they have this effect. Do
open saloons furnish food and raj
ment to the wives and children OF
those who spend all that they can
get their hands on for whiskey
kept and sold in these saloons!

Now if it is morally wrong
to sell whiskey for men simply to
drink. then it is wrong, in every
sence of the word, to realize it's
sale IN an open saloon.
Well, but these fellows say
the blind tiger is the worse evil
of the two, and that prohibition
doesn't prohibit. How much, do
you suppose, have men. who talk
their way, tried to make prohibi-

they don't want it to be effected
Prohibition prevents these fel.

they want open saloons.
Suppose that prohibition does
MT fully and completely prohibit.
Did you ever know a law that
was. IN a nature, prohibltory
that entirely prohibited? Let the
open--saloon. advocates point to
single one, if he can, Or stop
using this senseless argument.
The first law that ever existed
on this earth was a prohibltory
law; out 1t didn't prohibit. Why
didn't Adam and Eve tell the
Lord that prohibition didn't pro
hibit and get him to licence the
devil to set up an office in the
Garden of Eden. to paddle out
lies to the human family? Do
you see the point? There would
have been as much sense IN that
as there lis in this open saloon
argument.
A number of the ten command
ments are prohibitory, but not a
single one prohibits. Why don't
the Lord repeal them and make
men pay licence to steal, to com
NIT adultry, or to murder? 1t
would be just as reasonable to ask
the Lord to do this as it is to ask
that the pronibitory legislation
on the open sale Of whiskey, be
repealed. and men licened to open

The way to stop the work Of
the blind tigers rs not the open

the law. Stop electing men who

A drinking official is a disgrace

The Parcel Post and Public
Morals.

The parcel post service has
now been in operation nine
months. For the first six months
the department figures an IN
crease Of income from this busi-
ness of $14, 100000 in round
figures, a very large part OF
which is net profit.
A part of this profit has been
made at the expense of the ex-
press companies, which per-
haps deserve no sympathy just
now because of their notorious
attitude toward the public IN the
past, Most of it has been made
by infllctlng a positive loss upon
the railroads. in two ways.
They have lost the revenue
which the express companies
divide with them; and they have
been required to do lot of work
for which they have not been
paid at all, ana will not be, unless
Congress should pass a relief
bill.
Such facts as these, together
with the reported purpose of the
Wilson administration to "con-
troll" the telegraph and telephone
service IN somd such way as it
now controls" the parcel carry
ing business. by FURNISHING
competition witch the cOmpa
nies Will not be able TO meet, i"
leads the New York Times to
term the whole project not only
"uneconomic," but Immoral. .
On this point it remarks:
IF the proposal were to pro-
vide economic competition, and
by superior efficiency to drive
incompetent corporations out of
express, telegraph, telephone,
and other undertaking, not a
word would be raised in their de,
fense. They are commercial
enterprises and must take the
risks of their trades, But when
the proposal is to throw the tax
ing and lawmaking power into
the scale against them to destroy
the value of their property it is
unfair That is none the less
robbery because done under the
forms Of law and in the name OF
government. Every receiver of
a postal parcel carried at the cost
Of railways whose services are
not paid for is receiver OF stolen
goods
That is putting the case rath
er bluntly yet when we look the
facts in the face it is impossible
to deny that the conclusion is
correct.
Any man who, merely because
he has the power compels anoth-
er to give him unpaid service is
a robber. He has taken from
the other his time, his strength.
or his property in some form,
without making due compen-
satiOn. If ten men thus com.
bine to rob eight, the immortality
remains.
Because several millions have
combined, through government,
thus to rob their fellow citizens
who happen to own railways,
the wrong of it IS not made right.
