The Seward Gateway, most excellent newspaper and ably edited. advises its readers "cut out the small town stuff and then humorously but pointedly deals with the many peculiar phases of life in small town The Gateway's good-natured strictures ex- ceedngy apts The people of small town are prone to partake Of their environment and become betting in their thoughts and therefore. mean in their actions toward and in their dealings with each other. Alaska. in its very extent and mighty vastness should how ever. produce people Of larger mould.

In other words they ncurish grouch that closures their vision and which gives iaundiced tnge to ev- erythng that comes within the scope of their mental horizon.
 It is easy to criticse it is easy o tear down but difficult to build up and Alaska above most weaths that We know should have the least use for people of this kind Criticism is all right if the crit cs be competent if they have their facts straight but it is always noticeable that the biggest grist of criticism comes from the most uninformed the ignOr ant the narrow-minded and the vicious.

Luke McLuke Says

She can sing for five hours when they are engaged, and cant drive him out of her home. But is she sings for five seconds after they are married, you can't keep him in his home.
 Don't argue with your wife. If you do happen to nail her with an unanswerable argument she will either get Highly Indignant or start to bawl, and in either case you lose.
 When you are tempted to make noise, just consider the bass drummer in the band. He works hardest. creates the most racket, and gets the least credit.
 Even after she gets that way, it takes a woman a long time to req lize that she is fat
 A woman may be hard of hearing, but she is never deaf to flattery.
 A woman like to have a broken window casing or a broken spout repaired so she can tell friends that she has had her house remod- eled.
 The ornery men may drink booze and smoke smelly pipes and chew filthy tobacco. But, Bless Pat, they don't kiss each other
 Your wife may not be such a bril- liant woman. But give her credit for keeping you from making a fool of yourself oftener than you do.
 It is hard to make wife under stand that giving her husband a l piece of her mind isn't going to benefit his peace of mind.
 There was a time when a girl was satisfied to marry any old slob who was good proyider and who could | bring home the Kale every Satur- day night. But nowadays she wants something that resembles the lad in the mems ready-to-wear cloth ing advertisements that can do the Tango in fourteen different styles.
 You can retain your wife's af- lection by helping her do the dish es every night But you won't re- { ain her respect. (
 When man gets so he can hard 'oil an egg without cracking it he magines that he is a chef.
 Man goes through life believing hat the best wages are paid in some 'ther town and that the best fishing s in some other country.

CANNOT CONCEIVE A DRY ALASKA

Many Of the newspapers of the United States nave commented with some wonder on the fact that the
 people of Alaska have voted to prohibit the liquor traffic Some of these comments have been apt some have been fliPpant and a few have been ignorant and foolish Why should wellinformed newspapers express surprise when this any other Territory decides to swat John Bareyeorn? The answer may be found in the that they have absorbed their alleged knowledge. Of Alaska least by reading the stories of eminent commercial word artists like Rex Beach, and the late Jack London and few lesser literary" lights. Beach used to know little about this Territory-some sixteen years so ago; and London. in 1897: went the Chilkoot Pass. down to Dawson and thence to St. Michael How well he capitalized that trip has been shown in his works. But neither Beach London. in any of their TO- nance depicted real men or conditions as they were The types of and portrayed in their books were most unreal and were swashbuckling paro dies for the most part of the actual and wornen even then found in the Territory.

FINISH THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM
lSt. L1onis Renublicl.


 It is imperative that this Congress finish much the Democratic program of legislation remaining las is humanly and legislatvey possible. The team work of Congress have known it for four years is likely vanish when the coming session adjourns For the political complexion of the Congress ing in December. 1917, is frankly in doubt.
 This doubt will probably remain until that body has effected its organization The leaders of both parties claim votes enough to organize the House. but the margins very and depend upon eventualities. Accounts may change the apparent personnel
 Chairman Frank Doremus. of the Democratic Con- gressiona Committee divides the House: Democrats. PIT; Republicans. 213; Socialist, l; Progressive l; Protectonist. 1, and Independent l. Chairman Frank Woods of the Republicans gives the Democrats and Republicans 216 each and claims three of the five least, formal claims made by either of the chairmen.
 It will take 21S votes to organize the House It's control is in doubt and may pass to the Republicans With that party in control Democratic legislation of the Progressive stamp will be halted the least greatly handicapped. In the Democrats do mus ter the necessary strength to control the House that control will be by the narrowest of margins and likely to slip away under pressure. It will mean conces sons, in all probability. to freak ideas, to the crank" members. and will result in the impairment of the | measures passed
 The present Congress is Democratic in both hous- es. The Senate will remain Democratic and will be | able to prevent of the radical legislation of the partisan sort that Republican House might pass.
 For the Democrats in Congress it Is suffic- tent that there IS time enough between the converting f. 1917, to complete the greater part of the program to which the Democratic party is pledged Nothing Y less than the grayest of international crsises should be permitted 10 stand in the way of this.
