BIDS TO WIDEN BRIDGE
OVER PARK INLET OPENED

Bride Path and One Side
walk, Proposed.

Bids for widening the inlet bridge
connecting East and West Pc.
tomac parks were opened yes
terday in the office of public
buildings and public parks. The
plans for changing this bridge,
made necessary by increased traffic,
provide for a roadway 80 feet wide in
place of the present 25-foot road. One
sidewalk will be replaced by bride
path. The Crawford Co. of this city
offered to do the work for $16,975, the
Potomac Construction Co. for $18,397,
J.. r. Davidson, S17.434, and the Con-
crete Oil Tank Co., $14994.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for
this work. but since the approaches
will have TO be changed to connect
with the widening, not all OF the
money could be spent in changing the
width of the bridge itself.

Wide in Scope.

By the Associated Press.
The Tincher bill to extend Govern
ment credit to farmers cooperative
associations was indorsed before the
House agriculture committee yester-
day by Secretary Jardine.
"It has been thoroughly impressed
upon me-" said the Secretary of Agri-
cIlture, that the basic surplus prob
lem is not confined to any one section.
1T Is a nationwide problem and it
has seemed to me fundamental that
legislation designed to affect the prices
of farm products must have full re-
gard not only for the common inter
ests, hut likewise for the conflicting
interests of all regions. We can get
nowhere with a national legislative
program that helps some farmers at
the expense of Others"

MARQUAM, A PRACTICAL MAN OF VISION

No better proof of the Gateway's estimate of the character makeup and qualifications of Thomas A. Mar ouam Independent candidate for Delegate to Congress- could be found than is srikngly dsce1nbe through out his statement his return from the westward rp in yesterdays issue of this paper
 That he is possessed of unusual amount of far see ing vision is very apparent from his forecast the M ture of that section of the territory That he is practical is very evident from the fact that he the immediate needs of the country to bring about the bright future he predicts for that section His sincerity cannot be ques oned for it shows in every word he says and in the way his face lights up when he discusses the future progress of Alaska.
 It would be folly to say that Tom Marquam was not campaigning on his trp for Tom is in this fight to win and he is winner but it s nevertheless, clearly mani fest that his trip to the westward made profound inn presson on him from economic standpoint The people of the region which he just visited may well feel that they will have an ardent champion for their cause in Tom Marquam
 That he has initiative is clearly demonstrated by the fact that he readily recognizes the needs of the country and is willing forcby get behind them without waiting for clamor of public opinion in their support.
 That he is fearless is plainly visible in his prompt criticism of those responsible for the lack of the facilities necessary to promote the proper development of the gion vet his criticism not of the destructive varety but constructive and suggests the proper remedies to pursue.
 These the traits of character and make up sary the who would successfully represent Alas ka in Congress- And Tom has them all
 The Gateway has one more prediction to make and that is that when the next Congress in March, 1927 that the Honorable Thomas A. Marquam of Alaska will be one of it's members

DAWES RIGHT ABOUT THE SENATE

When the newspaper men of the state were
dragged out of bed at dead of night by tele-
phone call from the United States nlarshals of
flee and told to report with newspaper files and
statements of moneys received or promised by
senatorial and gubernatorial candidates, they for
the first time fully realized how United States
senator has his constituents 'peoned'' when he
is once in the saddle.
IF duly elected senator gets ''peeved' he can
stop the whole works in the United States senate.
If he demands an Investigation of any old rumor
that dspleases him, the people of the United
States must pay the freight to placate the honor
able senator The people pay the senator's salary
regardless of whether he is representing himself,
the people or just doing odd jobs on the side. A
senator's appointees have very little option in the
matter They must hop to it when they are III
structed to.
If the evidence in the famous Cameron flare
back is any criterion as to other senatorial in
vestigations" God help the poor folks who have
to pay for senatorial privileges
Voting to spend other peoples money is the
easiest Job politician has,
Vice-presdent Dawes is right in his demands
for reforming the United States senate. 1t is the
most arstocratic, all-poWerful body in the world
hedged in by senatorial courtesies and personal
privileges established by themselves.
This famous Cameron senatorial inyestga-
ton was a glowing farce, based on desire for
political advantage without single fact upon
which to base the charge.

political bunk.

SUCCESS NOT ALWAYS MEASURED IN
DOLLARS

Success cannot be measured by money stand
ards according to John Hays Hammond, cee-
brated Aerican. engineer who writes entertain
ingly in the cul4ent issue of the National Republic
under the CAPTION Success in America-What
Is 1t 2" A man may have very successful career
without anlassing a big fortune, Mr.. Hammond
declares and he continues:
This is so because they have rendered great
service in their life's Work-service to the COM
munity in which they have lived-service to their
fellow-beings in general-aild such service is now
almost universally regarded as the criterion of a
successful career.
ITO this class belong teachers, clergymen, and
others who devote their time to the intellectual,
moral and social wel-being of their fellowmen.
1t is fortunate that this conception of success SO
generally obtains. It is most incentive a noble
aspiration
Bernard Shaw says: This is the true Joy of
life. To be used by purpose recognized by your
self as mighty one; to be thoroughly worn out
before you are thrown on the scrap-heap, to be a
force of nature instead of feverish, selfish little
clod of ailments and grievances complaining that
life will not devote itself to making you happy
No purpose is so mighty as service to ones
fellowmen.
First of all, would place among the essentials
of a successful career the possession of character
An honest clean-cut, straightforward conscien-
tious, ambitious and last, but not least level
headed young man or woman, would in my opinion
possess seventy-five per cent of the essentials of
success, while in relative Importance | would not
attach more than twenty-five per cent to the pos
session of a higher education, and say this with
out in any way depreciating the Importance of ed
ucation, for realize as DR.. Frank Crane says in
one of his four-minute essays, from your chin
down you are worth but couple dollars day.
from your chin up you are worth anything

QUEEN MARIEs AGILE MIND
(El Paso Herald)

Queen Marie, who has an agile
mind, will probably think up a clever
but inoffensive answer to the w. G.,
T. II. ladies of Kokomo, Indiana.
It is they who have sent her mes
sage saying, "We are loath to be-
lieve you do not understand the per-
nicious effects of smoking"
Or the queen, more wisely still,
may drop the letter in the royal
waste basket and let it go unanswer-
ed.
Many of us believe smoking may
be physically harmful to women, even
more than to men, and socially un-
becoming besides. But Il women who
smoke believe otherwise, or do not
care, it is their own concern.
The w. c. T. U. Of Kokomo may
believe it has the privilege of advis-
ing and rcproving, but highly IN
telligent woman of 50 years of age
might be supposed to have a suffi-
ciently-formed judgment to shape
her personal habits without inter
ference from strangers.

ADVERTISING LIFE OF TRADE
douglas Dispatch)

President Calvin Coolidge, speak
ing before the American Association
of Advertising Agencies, declared
that it would not be renliss to desig-
nate advertising as s'the life Of trade. /"
The chief executive of the nation is
high in his praise of advertising, de-
claririg that advertising has taken a
commanding. hand in bringing abous
the splendid American scale of wag-
es The workers of America, as ev-
eryone realizes, have the highest
standard of living conditions and the
best wage scale in the world. The
president arrives at his conclusion by
declaring that the pre-eminence Of
American industry, which has con-
stantly brought about reductions of
costs, has come very largely through
mass production, while mass produc-
tion is only possible where there is
mass demand. Mass Demand the
president ayers, has been created al
most entirely through the develop
rnent Of advertising"
1t is a recognized fact in America
that the producer, the merchant, who
does not advertise, will not go for
ward. The American people have
reached point where they expect
the advertising in the newspapers and
other publications to tell them of the
latest fad, the newest invention the
most modern Means.
I'm former days goods were expect
ed to sell themselves, said Coolidge.
Modern business could never have
been created, nor can it be maintain
ed, on such system. It is not en-
ough that goods are made. A de-
mand for them must also be made.
1t is on this foundation of enlarging
production through the demands cre-
ated by advertising that much of the
success of the American industrial
system rests"
1t is interesting to note that Cool
idge has reached a conclusion that
prosperity and advertising are on a
parity. Without one, we cannot have
the other. To create business one
must advertise, and when one adver
tises business is good. Good business
is d visible sign Of prosperity. When
business is good, wages increase. In
creased wages mean more buying
power, better standards of living. In
deed, industry, business, prosperity,
are dependent uDon advertising.
Coolidge says that conditions under
which the present business conditions
have been secured should be main
tained st is our high rate of wages
which brings about the greatest dis
tribution Of wealth that the world has
ever seen and provides the enormous
capacity for the consumption OF all
Kinds of Commodities which chafac-
tef.izes our country. If we proceed
under our present system there would
appear to be little reason to doubt
that we can continue to maintain all
Of these high standards in wages, in
output and in consumption indefinite
ly, and with our home markets as
foundation, increase our foreign COM
rnerce. It is to be seen that adyer-
tising is not an. economic waste. 1t
ministers to the true development Of
trade" President Coolidge. has ex-
planned to the nation the attraction
between prosperity and advertising.
His words should be well needed by

MARINES AND THE MAILS
Miami Evening Bulletin)

Postmaster General New will be in
position to drop the "postmaster"
part Of his title and call himself SIM
ply General" when he gets his plans
perfected for protecting the mails
against bandit attacks.
He'll have regular army under his
command army big enough to
lick a small-sized picked
men, armed to the teeth and trained
to the minute. The force of marines
which the navy department is lend
ing him is merely to fill in, while New
is doing his recruiting and organizing.
News scheme is to have a fighting
machine of his very own-civilians,
but the hardest boiled, scrappingest
kind Of civilians in America.
The size of the postmaster gener-
ais body of super-scrappers will de-
pend on the amount of money he can
induce congress to appropriate to pay
for them.
The department borrowed $500 ma
rines in 1921, so it's assumed that a
cohort of at least that number will
be asked for-maybe more, for the
postoffice's business steadily increas-
es, and New is entering now on a
campaign, not of mere defense, but
of determination.
New also wants a capital offense
made Of an attack on the mails with
deadly weapons. However, if he gets
the army he wants, that will hardly
be necessary. There won't be any
live mail bandits left to hang or cleo
trocute after his outfit has finished

A NoN-PoLITICAL EDITORIAL

The other day we were most nightly pleased
to receive a present from our "old pal,' Ducker
Gyber who is now located with his parents at
Marion, Ohio. We are a little doubtful about
guessing his age now, the years slip by SO fast,
but about four or five years ago he lived in our
block and had attained the remarkable age Of
about six years, before he went back to Ohio
where SO many presidents have sprouted. The
little reminder was box of fresh chestnuts he
had hand-picked. Now this "od pal' of ours
writes his front name with a picture of nice
looking prosperous fat Duck, with an "er' in its
BILL That means Duck-"er,' just between us.
Ducker and me have often talked over the great
problems which confront feller in this world,
and both of us learned bull lot from each other.
(Some of the newspaper fellers who are not as
old as my old pal Ducker and me, may kid" US
about the chestnuts sent. But, felers, Ducker
showed real knowledge of folks-he sent the
chestnuts to Senator Breen," which shows con-
clusivey that "our old pal Ducker' knew how to
avoid any implication as to the character Of The
SUM-
When Ducker gets to be president, as most ev-
eryone does in Ohio sooner or later, we expect a
fat job with lots of salary and plenty of time in
which to collect it.
