The Seward Gateway PUBLISHED DAILY at Seward, Alaska HAL B. SELBY EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR Entered as Second Class Matter Sep tember 2nd, 1915, at the Post Office at Seward, Alaska, under the Act of March Third, 1879. Published by GATEWAY PUBLISHING COMPANY Seward, Alaska. Subscription, $1.25 per Month NOW that the election is over let us gef in and try to do a little real work toward building up the town. -U The way Adelman. Orlander and McMullen ran on the ticket shows their energies are wasted. The> should be nominated for governor or some thing. 11 is now “Mayor” Ray. Miss Sylvia Sexton and Judge Win. H. Whittlesey were elected by on*1 of the largest votes ever given a local candidate. What’s the matter with the winners and the losers getting together and having one big love tea si at the local restaurant some night soon. Anchorage had a far worse time than Seward had. on account of hav ing more people, probably. The vagaries of elections are illus trated by the fact that three hundred votes were cast yesterday, where no \ one thing was (to gain or lose by a large vote, while at the general elec tion last fall, when Seward could have secured additional representation in the Territorial legislature less than a, half vote was cast. The Foster Literacy bill should be indorsed by every- believer in good government and one hundred per cent Americanism. The hill provides that to vote in Alaska one should be able to read and write the English lan guage. The object of the bill is to shut out the half civilized Indian who has not suffcient intelligence to know for whom he is voting. It is a good bill and should be indorsed by every American Legion Post in the. Territory as well as by every citizen who be lieves his or her vote to be worth more to the government than an Indian’s Several citizens of Seward believe that a protest should be sent to the legislature against the enactment of the Callahan bill taxing rafi’oads $100 per mile, where owned by an individ ual, company c corporation; also a protest against the Jonhston bill giv ing the election printing of the Sec ond, Third and Fourth divisions to Ju neau concerns. Personally, we believe the bills are so foolish and absurd as to warrant no protest being made. We have more confidence in the remain ing members of the legislature, than to believe for a minute such bills will pass. Why send a delegation to the Terri torial legislature and then pay no at I teniion to bills introduced? You are i more vitally interested than you are ! awai e of. MARSHAL’S PARTY COMING Gilbert Stevens, United States mar shal for the Fourth division, will ar rive this evening and later leave on the Northwestern for the states.

Overwork, worry, overeating and lack of exercise and sleep are respon sible for much kidney trouble. If your back aches and the kidneys seem weak, rest up and use Doan’s Kidney Pills. J. P. Howe, proprietor of general store, 152 Water Street, Santa Cruz, Calif., says: “Overlifting affected my kidneys. I had severe pain in the lower part of my back, but the main trouble was with my kidneys. They didn’t act properly. The secretions burned and there was inflammation in my bladder. I tried different kid ney medicines, but they did me no good. Doan’s Kidney Pills did the work for me. I have been entirely free from kidney and bladder trouble since." (Statement given February 19, 1916.) On December 4, 1919, Mr. Howe said: ‘‘I never miss a chance to re commend Doan’s for I know from ex perience there is nothing better lor | kidney trouble.” 60c at all dealers.
