GATEWAY EDITORIAL REACHES MILLIONS
An August 27 of last year The Gateway contained an edi
v . torial calling attention to the work of the Methodist
Episcopal church in this community, and commending the
same. A few weeks later the editorial appeared on the
leading page of the Pacific Christion Advocate published
in Portland, Ore., which is the official organ of the Meth
odist church in the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Utah.
Our attention has just been called to the fact that the
editorial mentioned is receiving a much wider circulation
than that. For the Corresponding Secretary of the
Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the
Methodist Episcopal church, in his annual report sub
mitted to that board recently, in reporting on the work of
the Methodist Episcopal church in Alaska, quotes the edi
torial in full. * um
When we recall the fact that the Methodist Episcopal
church has a total membership of approximately five and
a quarter millions, distributed throughout every state in
the Union, maintains mission stations in Europe, Asia,
Africa, South America, Mexico, Central America, and
many of the Islands of the Sea, with an overseas member
ship of approximately 900,000 members; and that a copy
of the Corresponding Secretary’s report, which is pub
lished in pamplet form containing 30 "pages, is sent to
every minister in the Methodist church, and to many :
leading laymen, and to each Mission station in foreign
fields, it begins to dawn on us that our editorial is really
receiving a worldwide circulation. As we realize the
bigness of it the editor feels that it is just about the finest
compliment paid him as a newspaperman in many a day.
Rev. Graham states hq does not recall ever having
seen a newspaper quoted in the report during his 30 years
work and considers The Gateway editorial one of incalcul
able worth to Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. (/P)—-Pres.
Coolidge sees no reason why news
papers in this or any other country
should take seriously the statements
by American Naval officers predict
ing war between the United States
for commercial competitors. He stat
ed this when his attention was
called to a recent speech made by
Rear Admiral Plunkett that the coun
try should know by this time the
alarming charge often made when ap
propriations were being sought by
Congress. &
President Coolidge was unable to
understand why such a large appro
priation bill as that for the postoffice
department can be passed without
arousing inflamatory statements,
whereas the appropriation bill for
the army and navy always bring forth
ieclarations that the country is about
to be faced with dire consequences.
