A STRANGERS VIEWS
Steward Gateway, March 2lJ

Dave Mutchler came to Seward day be fore yesterday to meet his wife who ar
 rived last night on the Northwestern tT in the Interior where we used to know Dave, he has the reputation of being one of the best transportation men ill the game
 Dawes business is moving things and mak
 ing things move, and he has never been accused of lacking in acton or getting ac- tion on anything he starts. All day yes terday he spent in looking around the town
 and last night we thought it might be a good idea to get the views of 8 stranger, so we approached him and asked him what he thought about Seward He said: "You know, 1 Ike this town already, and wish that l could stop off here for a while and look around. I've heard lot about Sew
 ard up in the Interior; in fact it's about the only town on the coast that We do hear about up there. There has been lot of talk about this place in the Iditarod, and 4s soon as the government let the contract for the carrying of the Interior mail from this town, that was enough for us We knew what the government thought of Seward. and it's a cinch that when they stat to build a railroad they will start right here, and 1 can see no reason wLy anyone would think different l have been in Valdez and Jordova and they are out of the running altogether according to my views, In the first place. neither one of them has a haroor, anI again. it is almost impossible to get out of either town even with a dog team. This place has the best h4rhor and the best townSjte that I have ever seen in Alaska. and then you have some country behind it. 1 was surprised to learn of the mining activity that you have behind you. Why, you are in a mining country from the time you cross Rainy pass untI you 2 to Seward There is the Cache creek country, the Willow creek district Crow creek. Hope, Sunrise and all the mines that are along the line to Mile 7l. And thea that Matanu~la coal country Why this is the only way possible to get in there

DAVIDS OPINIONS DIDN'T MAKE A HIT
 WITH PEOPLE OF GUGGENEElMOPOLIS
DAVE HAS THEM GUESSING
lCnrdoNa Alnskan. March 2ll

Dave Mutchlcr last week came out to Seward from the flats of the Iditarod and impartrd some interesting and confidential ! information to our neighbora in the de Ighuul little city on Resurrection bay. In relieving any anxiety that might be felt as to terminus for the government railroad, Dave among other things said.
 We knew what the government thought of Seward, and it's cnch that when they start to build q railroad they will start right here, and 1 can SC" no reason why anyone should think different. l have been in Valdez and Cordova, and they are out of the running altogether, according to my >iews In the first place. neither one of
 hem has harhor. and again, 1t is almost impossible to get out of either town, even with a dog team"
 We don't like to disagree with Dave for in the main we think be is correct and believe that one of the railroads to the interior will start from Seward In fact his opinion is backed by the report of the Alaska railroad commission, which says that "~eward is evidently the seaport for the Natanuska coal and Corlova the logical outlet for the Boring river col'
 But that question of harbor is stictIer and we might be inclined to accept Daye's far-otI view if it were not for those ua,by members of the commission. They declare that "after is study of all available har bors, the commission is of the opinion that the one at Cordoya i>, without question: the best"
 Oi course it is strange, as Dave says why anyone should think that railroad would be started from any otber place than Sew ard Guess we will have to throw the blame for any such idea on the railway c}mmis- sion again, for they say "and the tonmis- sion therefore recommends the con~uuc- .ion of a railway from ChItlnu to Fair banks" And the commission further adds that the building of line into the Srsttua valley lis second ln importance only to line to Fairbanks"
 hnt we are real gricved to -alnl, ,hat Dave con-idcrs this rr grosslva little town 90 much m the wilderness th-. 1t is almost impossible 10 get out of ii even" with dog team.

MICE LEGAL PROBLEM
 FOR ATTORNEYS TO SOLVE

Saratoga Springs, \. Y., March 24.- Willard J Miner, an attorney, has been re taned by d client in the western part of the state to figure out the proportionate share of son in an estate. The facts of the relationship as given to the attorney are these:
 On May ?, 1900, there lived in the town of Day. Saratoga county, a father and his son, the mother being dead At the same time and a short distance away in Fulton county lived a widow ard her daughter
 The son on that date married the widow whereby the new wlfes daughter became her husbands daughter, and at the same time the sons wife became the boys fathers daughter, and the young daughter of the sons wife, who had become daughter of the sons father, also became the sons fathers granddaughter
 Then, to compHcate matters still further in July, 1906, the father married the sons wifes daughter, whereby the sons wife's daughter became the sons mother and the sons wife became the sons fathers mother Furthermore, the sons father, having mar ried the sons daughter, she became the sons mother and the sons mothers mother who is the sons wife, is the sons grandmother and thereby the son became his own grandfather
 The son wants MT Miner to figure out the proportionate share to which he is en- titled from an uncles estate

 According to Mr. Robinson, the men were loath to work when the thermometer registered 30 degrees below zero. This difficulty was ob>iated by raising the gauge along the glass until the extremely low temperature showed on the thermometer to be only moderate.
 The men would come out and look at that glass and say: Why it's only 15 below; let's go to work said Mir. Robin son.
 "When it came spring and the weather got warmer l should think the glass would show an extremely high temperature" said one member of the territories committee.

However successful the individual may
be in relieving and even in preventing
single cases of distress, he can
achieve practically nothing in dealing
with social causes. For the latter pur-
pose we need organized effort, not
only among Catholic individuals and
Catholic societies, but between Catho-
lie individuals and associations on the
one hand and non-Catholic or secular
individuals and associations on the
other hand. Movements which have
for their objects more effective con-
troll of the liquor traffic and of COM
mercialiZed vice, movements to secure
adequate compensation for working
men on account of industrial accidents
and diseases, schemes of social in
surance, methods of establishing a
living wage, projects for the improve
ment Of housing conditions, campaigns
against tuberculosis and other diseases
which contribute so largely to the
sum total of poverty,-all these and
many other social activities of the
same general type ought to command
the active support of all Catholics
who are interested in the study and
work Of charity. Such support and
participation are by no means difficult

The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-09-26

Under this heading the "Ma-
sonic Observer" Of Minneapolis.
the official organ Of the Masonic
fraternity in that city, quotes,
with evident approval, an article
from "The Masonic Sentinel" of
Chicago in which that paper gives
list of questions sent by the Cath
Ollie Union Of Illinois to candi-
dates for the next general assem-
bly, of that state, as evidence that
the Catholic Union is attempting
to secure state legislature that
will be bound to support only
opinions advanced by the Roman
Catholic Church. 1t then points
out to the Masonic fraternity the
means by which they can oppose
this alleged assault on their rights
by the Church.
At the outset it may be well to
state, for the benefit Of those who
might be inclined to accept the
illogical deduction of "The Ma
sonic Sentinel" that the Catholic
Union of Illinois is not the Catho-
lie Church, nor is it authorized to
speak for the Catholic Church !;
and hence whatever action it may
take in public affairs of local or
state interest in no way COM
promises the Catholic Church.
Now what is the specific offence
of which the Catholic Union OF
Illinois has been guilty? It has
been guilty of the atrocious crime
of asking candidates for the state
Legislature whether they favor the
inclusion of vocational education
in the curriculum of public
schools; what their position is in
regard to Bible reading in the
schools to pupils of different
denominations; whether they
favor more strict divorce legis-
lation which shall also meet the
conscientious convictions of the
parties separated; whether, In the
event of free textbooks being sup
piled to the children of the state,
they would restrict this privilege
to public school children or ex-
tend it to all children, regardless
of whether they attend public,
parochial, or private schools;
whether they favor a continuance
of the policy. now Incorporated
in the state law, of exempting
from taxation church, school and
property used for charitable pur-
poses; whether, in the event Of
election, they would support a
measure providing pensions for
civil service employees, and a min
imum wage for women and child
dren; whether they favor the Civ
ing of free transportation and
lunches, in case Of necessity only,
to pupils of all schools, public,
private, and parochial; and, final
