GIVEN BY
BOOSTER CHOIR
AT SERVICES

One of the features OF the cvangelistlc
meetings held last night at the Method
ist church wasi the program given by
the booster choir, which Ted Evans has
been training for the past week. The
children displayed the pep of their
leader in the yells and songs that they
rendered Among the special selections
were humorous readings by Kenneth
Hatch and Claricc Ferguson.
The sermon was on the subject
I" About Face and was an exposition of
the doctrine of repentance. ''This is
not popular subject;'' said the evan
gclist, "because people do not want to
see themselves as they really are. There
ism t photographer who could make q
living if he made his photographs like
the originals. The actual meaning OF
repentance is change of mind. When
a man changes his mind he changes his
conduct. True repentance means a
hanged life.
The sermon was heard by large
audience. Rev. Geo. Graft, the pastor
Of the Methodist church of Imperial
and a delegation of the members OF his
church were present.
Tonight Captain Evans will give his
lecture, "Fighting and Fun in France. "

propriety of asking Britain and the

"We should like to fight these SNUG

is too costly. They have money to fl

a position where it can appropriate
huge sums to break up the traffic

so impressed with this defiance of law
that they will demand setting up a big

MIXED JURIEs A MISTAKE
g 8 g g g g g 6 6 6 g g g {

New York Herald This county is
having its experience with mixed Jurles
and the results are not at all inspiring.
In St. Paul five women were
locked over night in Il jury room
with seven men, the cots on which
they slept separated by curtain. 1t
is no wonder that Minnesota men arc
protesting against the compelling of
their wives to serve on Juries; no won
der that the governor of Minnesota de-
clares that he would not permit his
wife to serve on Il jury under such con
ditions; no wonder that Minnesota
Judges denounce the occurrence as dis
graceful.
In Trenton this week Il jury of six
women and six men was locked up all
night because of disagreement. One
of the women described the experience
as follows:
"We tried for several hours
to reach verdict, but in vain.
Then we sent out for cards and
newspapers and played cards with
the men, and read the papers.
After we got tired of this we took
the cushions off the seats and took
maps about the room. The men were
very considerate of us. All the
women accepted the experience
good naturcdlv, but some of them
expressed anxiety as to how matters
were going at home. One woman
told me her husband had put the
children to bed and in the morn
ing had dressed them, prepared
their breakfast and sent them to
school,
There IS picture of progress and
emancipation for you! The wife pass
ing the night miserably in "a jury room
where half the jurors are men while
the husband, at home, dresses the
children and prepares their breakfast.
1t is futile to say that sensible of
ficials would have provided privacy for
the women jurors. For centuries it
has been the custom not to separate a
jury. In this and most other states the
law provides that the jury shall be
"kept together. If the eustodians of
jury were to separate the women
jurors from the men the losing side of
the case could claim a mistria.
The mixed jury will not work. If
the courts are determined to have
women on juries, or if women are de
termined to get on juries, let it be so
arranged that the juries will be all
women or all men.
New York state, which has iot OPP
ened the jury gate to women, can learn
lesson from the experiences in Min
| nesota and New jersey.

READY FOR BUSINESS

After having suspended publication for seven days, while the plant and equipment of the Gateway Was being removed to its new location in the Ar cade building, on Railroad avenue, we are again ready for business, with better facilities. a larger equipment, and far larger and more modern quarters.
 The task of moving Tine Gateway was tremendous one. involving over p tons of equipment, and the taking down and erecting two typesetting machines, cylinder press, folde", job bels and ruling machine, and well as dozens of other pieces of machinery, all of which had to be made @s small as possible owing to the size of the doors in the old building.
 Our new quarters consist of over two thouA.nd feet of floor space in the semi basement of the new Arcade k. A l24S feet of floor space. the difference in space allows us ample room to dis play our machinery to the best ad- vantage and to work without being crowded
 A complete description of our new building will be given in the near fu- lure. In the mean time we will be pleased to meet all our old friends in our new location.
 It win take several days to get our new cylinder press and folder adjust ed, but when this is done we will nave a much better looking paper than was possible with the old press which has given such valiant service the past sixteen years.
 Beginning the first of the year it is our intention to give Seward and the westward towns one of the best week lies ever published in Alaska This will be in addition 10 the Gateway, which will remain a daily. The new publication will consist of from eight to sixteen pages, filled with telegraph, ic news, local news, territorial and mining news, and topics of interest. We already have secured over five hundred subscriptions to the new weekly, and have been promised liberal advertising patronage.
