THEORY VS. PRACTICE

Big Bill" Haywood who sneaked from under $10,000 bonds in this coun- try to escape a federal charge and went to Russia where he attempted to set LID an ideal form of government, according to his own Utopian ideas, has failed dismally. His colony which was organized under Haywood ideas has broken up, it's members are at the point of starvation, and his former friends have turned against him say ing he has no administrative ability. Haywood's system was in defiance Of ccapitalistic" principles, which he de- nounced for years in the United States 1.-the individual right to the enjoy ment of the fruits of individual lib erty, energy and thrift" It was high sounding program and the only fault with it was that it failed to work as planned.
 It is fortunate that Haywood had q chance to apply his own theories Of government on soil peculiarly sympa- thetic with his Utopian notions. At least he cannot blame capitalism for his failure.

 This will be a banner year for Alas ka. We anticipate larger volume of travel than for years, with many tour ists making the trip. Mining is being resumed on a large scale, and while fishing will be curtailed by govern mental regulations. a good pack will be put up.
 The entrance of the Standard Oil company into the Seward field means a lot to this town and to the interior. Oil prices will be nearly cut in halt, and dozens of boass will use this city as base for supplies. A railway spur and wharf vii. be constructed. as well as buildings and large tanks.
 The local cold storage company is also big factor in the prosperity Of Seward. It brings half hundred nal ibut boats here each season, and each boats spends literally at our stores.
 Seward has a good outlook for the coming year. It is hoped it will prove as good as the forecast.

He was hurried to Dr. Layne who had to amputate the finger. Charles was just elected president of the Kodiak Igloo of Pioneers.

AN IDEAL WINTER

As Mark Twain once remarked, we all talk about the weather but do nothing about it. The past winter has been one of the best experienced here in years At no time has the mercu- ry fallen lower than two below, and the sunshiny days have averaged at least 75 per cent. Today it is raining, about six inches of snow is on the ground and rubber footwear and um- brellas are the fashion.

A LITERARY GEM

One class of readers may be com- pared to an hour glass, their reading being as the sand; it runs in and runs out. and leaves not a vestige behind. A second class rdsembles a sponge, which absorbs everything and re- turns it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtier. A third class Is like a jelly bag, which allows all that is pure to pass away and retains only the refuse and dregs. A fourth class may be compared to the slaves ot Golconda, who cast aside all that IS worthless, preserving only the pure gems.-Coleridge

LONG RANGE CORRESPONDENCE

In today's Gateway we publish cor respondence from Kodiak. kanatak Dillingham;. To the lay reader in the States these names mean nothing. But the Alaskan knows that Kodiak is about 275 miles from Seward; kanat- ak 500 and Dillingham; close to 1SO0 The paper in the states that would attempt to have corps of correspon dents at these distances would be con- sidered unusually progressive, but We in Alaska take it as a matter of eV- eryday occurrence. Kodiak is the nearest town to Seward on the west; Kanatak next and Dillingham; last. Other communities are even farther away, but are so inaccessible that 1t Is hardly feasible to get news from them. The Gateway has correspon' dents at Unga, Unalaska and Attu, but about once in five years do we hear from the latter, and his news some time is a year old before it reaches us.
 This is an example of the vastness of the Territory. All these cores pondents are in the Third division, as we do not attempt to encroach upon the Second division fields. It is like a paper on the coast getting personals from St. Paul. Every reader of the Gateway knows each individual at the above villages, consequently it is of interest to them.
