Why is that so? • If the Indians sufTer it will not be because ’uey hire been denied any "ancestral rig.it- ' Not because white men fish with traps. They will not suffer be cause they cmld not get sufficient fish to supply food for themselves during the winter They have not been stopped from catching fish for their own feed supply. The circumstance that the Tee Harbor cannery packed lS.ono cases after the termini' on of the clused season is evidence that there is plcn > of fish. The closing of commercial fishing in Lynn Canal made It even more easy for them to get an abundance of fish for food, for it meant that the pa< k ers mur.t etay out of those waters for salmon for can ning purposes. If the Chilkat Indians suffer at all it will be became they need more Ilian they needed when they were exercising without competition the "ancestral rlglus" about which those who iiarrangue them for their Illiterate votes talk so much. Since tile advent of the white man and commerce, giving employment and education to the Indians, they have learned to want more than ancestors wanted. They huge boon living better, gelling more comfort and joy out of luting, ait .far less effort than their ancestors got. If the canneries in Southeastern Alaska were closed, if the fox Islands were abandoned, 1f all the while men who are conducting business and enter piiics in the Territory were to move out. If all—a monopoly—of rights, privileges and lands that poli ticians who aro appealing to the greed and avarice of the Indians allege constilt ubo _ their "ancestral rfcllfs" were reotored to them, It would cost t'lio Federal Government a lot vif money and effort to feed and clothe Iho hungry and cold Indians of Alaska who have become accustomed to enjoy white men's comforts and, often, luxuries. If the real truth were presented tvi the Indians ol Alaska they would repudiate Mr. Paul and his racial prejudice propaganda overwhelmingly. They know full well that the (future welfare of Iboir race, its growth and prosperity, depends upon the -con tinued investment of capital in Ah aka and they know that th: t capital must bo assured profits \>r new capital will n*>t come here and much of the capital already in hosted here will be withdrawn. MR. DAVIS’S OPTIMISM. If Mr. Davis persists in that optimism it may become catching. Particularly so when wo have Col. Harvey admit ring in m many words that if the election were to take place “now or next week’’ Mr. Coolidge could not get more than 218 electohal \<>toa to save his neck, and predicting that the election "HI *° Congress. And Mr. Harvey's prediction vas preceded by a similar one by Senator Foss. Al most as gloomy are the predictions of Mr. Jcrmane. All of which means that nobody knows yet how tin election will gi, and that it is foolish to guess. Two things we aro reasonably sure <jf is that Mr. Liavis will get the 186 votes of tile South and Border Siates and that Mr. Coolidge will get a majority of the Northern States. But there still arc a 1 »t of doubtful States. * HANGING TO THE TAIL OF THE ELEPHANT. The Cincinnati Enqulirer, calling attention to the Circumstance that Senator La Fallette, notwithstand ing that he is an independent candidate for tlte Pri tiidency, went into the Republican primaries m Wisconsin and dictated the nominations tor^ State and (eng less! on a I positions, showed a disposition tc hang on to tho tadi of tho elephant, evidently feeling that he will be defeated for the Presidency and desire* something tangible to fall back on. That is apparently the attitude of Delegate Sutli erland in Alaska. For a dozen years, in Hie Terri torial Legislature and in Congress, he lias t'oughi th. Republican Party and done all within Ills powei to discredit its National administrations, yet j10 p unctuouflv asking for “Republican” votes. He hangj .to the tail of the elephant whilo lie attempts tc etab it in the vitals at every opportunity. A BIG ISSUE AT LOSSIEMOUTH. The Loseiemcr.tih Golf Club, cynicn nas a course up In Scotland fr m where Premier M. cDonald halls, long ago blackballed the I.abortto who represented that dirtrld in Pi'TI-1 ment. After ti tit Laborite be came Piemier a new effort was made to elect him to membership—for remember, Mr. MacDonald, sterl ing laborite that lie Is, long has been able to afford ricmberslfip in . n aristocratic golf Hub. However, LosHemouMi's aristocrats aro nothing if not con tit tent. and they reasoned that If neighbor Mac Donald was not thought good enough to associate ■with Hum when he was a plain labor leader in Parliament it would make them look rather syco „ »' * 'W-----■. .. -- ..... . . .. phantic to choose him for association just because he had been selected to be the King's Prime Minister. So they again rejected him. However, this time an aristocratic capitalist who belongs to the Lossie mouth Club, and who had met the Premier in London ant! discovered that he was very much of a gentle man. became wroth.y, and he has served notice on ills fellow member's that they must immediately or sooner repay him a lean of $15,000 he lad made to the Lossiemouth Club witihout Interest. The canny golf playeers of Lossiemouth are now considering whether to remain consistent and pass the hat aboul to raise (lie $15,000 or whether to admit the Prime Minister to the 19th hole the next time he comes to Lossiemouth. William Al'en White, the journalist, refuses to support the Republican ticket in Kansas because its candidate for Governor asked for the support of the Ku Klux Klan and is running for Governor as an independent on it strong anti-Klan ticket. No one is surprised that one who can think as straight as William Allen White would have anything to do with I tin K. K. K.

(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) It is proposed to set up a nudo statue of George Washington in North Carolina, ait the State capital. Stale Representative Everett, of Durham, North Caro lina, is championing the project. Tlic nude statute is by the eminent Italian artist, Cancva. Mr. Everett has recently been abroad on a (trip to tlie .birthplace of Canova, at Basano, in the I Italian Alps.

A woman may love a man enough to marry him, but not enough to live him after she has, and take it from any wife it certainly takes, a heap more love to be able to do that.
