COM Nj ENTS

A late edition of the Juneau Sunday Capital devoted a considerable portion l,. it's editorial columns to certain mat l. IS which the Seward Gateway has < en advocating for the benefit of Seward. The comments of the Capital are reprinted here in full for the bene- fiji of our readers. Of course they don't agree with us fully but then there is nothing like little friendly discussion of the matters.
 We can assure the Capital that we are working fo: all the new industries that are possible for this section or Alaska. The pulp and paper mill IS but one and we have every assurance that our expectations in this matter will be realized. AS far as the head quarters of the Alaska Cable and Tele- graph system, the district court and the capital of Alaska are concerned we feel that they will come here as mat ter or course WILL IuG uSNSlopl1IOhI oA our natural resources. We expect large influx of people by reason of these developments. In such a case the administration of the government of this Division will have to be ad- justed to suit the changed conditions brought about by the development of this country.
 The First division must realize that that the request for the capital to be located at Seward comes not alone from the people of Seward but is also the desire of a large number of people of the Second and Fourth divi- sions, as well as the Third Division In this matter we await the majority wish as expressed by the people of Alaska. The tail cannot continue to wag the dog and the Panhandle cannot continue the wagging of Alaska.
 And it does not take one wiser than Solomon to see the handwriting on the wall.

Frank H Foster and R. E. Ellsner, both of COrdova will seek the RepubI- can nomination at the April primaries for the office of Senator for the Third division. Attorney Foster will stake his hopes largely on his pronounced in t2ntion to secure the passage of a bill 10 allow the people to vote in a change

Mr. Elsner has not yet declared himself on the subject but from his attitude at the last legislature, when he was a mem- CT of the House, he may be expected to go his adversary one better and de- clare in favor of changing the capital of the United States to Cordova, Sew Prd, Anchorage or some other locality in the Third division. But fortunately Congress has something to say on the matter Of changing the capital of Al -aska. And it is not their custom to switch whenever a certain locality has 9 little run Of present or expected pros perity and consequent influx of people.

ECHOES OF NEWBERRY CASE

Although the Newberry Ford case has been settled and Commander New berry won his seat in the Senate, echoes from it are still to be heard. not only in the senate but throughout the country. One of the most signifi- cant of these was in the refusal Of Senator William s. Kenyon, Republi- can of Iowa, to speak at Mckinley Day Dinner, given on January 2S by Republican leaders at Dayton, Ohio. Senator Kenyon, who voted against the seating of Newberry originally had accepted the invitation to make an ad- dress on that occasion but later with drew his acceptance because he eX- pected to discuss the "condoning of corruption in elections" and that to do so would be discourteous to Sena- tor Frank B. Willis, who was author of the resolution on which the Michi- gan man was seated Senator Kenyons place was filled by Senator Short ridge of California, who supported the resolution seating Newberry.
 A second echo and one that may be more productive than the first men toned, was heard in the Senate recent ly, when senator Pomerene, of Ohio, asked the Senate to rule on corrupt practices by embodying in the rules of the Upper House those parts of the Corrupt Practices Act which were de- clared invalid by the United States Supreme Court in reversing the New berry case taken to it from Michigan Court The Supreme Courts decision held that the act was unconstitutional for the reason that it covered matters not within Federal jurisdiction. Sena- tor Pomerene said in submitting his resolution that it was designed to ac- complish through the Senate rules the same thing that would have been been accomplished had the act not been declared unconstitutional" He added that it thus would serve as an expression on the qualifications of Sen ators.
 The resolution under which Com mander Newberry was seated while awarding him the seat, condemned the practice of wholesale expenditure of money in political campaigns. If the Senate really means what it said on that occasino, there should be very lit tie opposition to the Pomerone resolu- tion.-Juneau Empire.

THE GATEWAY PUTS IT OVER ON
 SOLOMON

He is 3 wiser man than Solomon ever dreamed of being, who can fortell the development and population of Al aska within the next ten or fifteen years. With the development of the wood pulp and paper industry, and the finding of rich veins of gold quartz in Southeastern Alaska, many predict that this section will in time be equal in population and prosperity to all other ocean border localities of the Territory But we don't know it as a fact Not yet. Neither are we so sure of it as is the Seward Gateway that their much hoped for dream will come true, when it says that when it omes to . natter of fixing the capi- ,}l or the future state of Alaska, there

Pope Benedict XIV, the 259th
to hold the office of supreme
head of the Roman Catholic church
began his pontificate on September
6, 1914, soon after Europe entered
upon its four years of war. Upon
many occasions during the war he
endeavored to bring the belliger-
ent nations to a peace agreement
and thus to maintain the title which
had been affectionately bestowed
upon him by a high dignitary Of
his communion as messenger
God sent to bring peace"
The war between Italy and Aus
tria, in both Of which peoples Of
the Catholic religion predominate
was particularly great sorrow to
the Pope. Those near to him said
he deprecated the German viola
ton Of Belgium. When the Lusi-
tania was sunk he telegraphed to
the then Emperor William his alb
horrence Of deed which had
shocked the world.
The successor Of Plus X was said
to have combined the statesman
ship of Pope Leo XIII with the
grace Of his immediate predeces-
sor. He endeavored, it is said, to
carry out the ideals and policies OF
those two great churchmen. But
the world war. which broke the
heart Of Plus X, Haddened the first
four years Of his pontificate and
prevented the fulfillment of some
of his aspirations.
One Of the incidents Of his pont
fical career was the visit which
President Wilson paid to him or
January 4, 1919. when the pres
ident went to Rome prior to the
opening Of the Peace Conference
at Paris Social and treaty ques
tions were discussed, it is said.

simple priest or, at most, Cardinal
and Archbishop Of Bologna.
On the day of his election he
spoke of the burden Of responsible
ty thrust upon "one frail brain"
and expressed his horror Of the
world conflict then being waged and
his hope that il would quickly end.
One week after his coronation,
when the Fisherman's Ring was plac-
ed upon his finger, he issued an
Encyclical to the epsicopacy Of the
world in which rulers were exhorted
to put aside dIsSensions and to zen
ter into q council Of peace with all
speed The appeal fell on stony
ground, however, and later, on Dec
ember 12, 1914, the Vatican author
ities announced the Pope's plan for
a Christmas truce was failing "be-
cause of the opposition of certain
power" Reports were that Russia
and Turkey had refused to acquies-
ce. Along a thousand miles Of bat
tlefront, the following Christmas
Day, thousands of cannon thunder
ed an answer to Benedict's appeal
to '1ay down your arms"
Again on January Is. 1915, Pope
Benedict took up the task of bring
ing peace TO war-torn world. de-
creeing that on February Z, priests
and laity of the Catholic church
throughout the world should unite
in services and prayers for the res
toration Of universal amity and
good will. Next occasion on which
Benedict exercised his humane pre-
rogative was on July 2S, 1915. the
first anniversary Of the war. when
he issued an appeal TO all rulers,
declaring that blessed be he who
first extends tLe olive branch ani
tenders his hand to the enemy in
offering his reasonable conditions
Of peace"
In March. 1916, the Pope again
reiterated his prayer for the dawn
Of a new and better day. Each
belligercnt should clearly state his
desires, che said. "but should be
ready to make the necessary sacrifi-
ces Of pride and particular inter-
ests." Previously Benedict had
written to the late Emperor Franci.
