They stand for the development and progress
of Alaska, for a square deal for all the people
regardless of race or occupation, for economy
and efficiency, for the homes and other institu
tions of modern civilization guaranteed by an
unbossed and literate electorate.
EVERYONE CAN HELP.
The presence here of M. I, Itequa and other
engineers and the. optimism of Mr Helntzloman,
who lias .been devoting his time and talents to a
successful effort to enlist the interest of those en
gaged in pulp and paper manufacturing and water
power development in Alaska, are encouraging. That
there will la large development in Southeastern
Alaska at an early date there is not a question of
doubt It will be development that will bring pen-1
pie to the Territory and give us a population that*
will warrant Statehood and many of the other bless
ings that eoine with progress and prosperity.
Juneau must stay in line so that she may profit’
to the uttermost front the coming development. She
must do her part to welcome incoming capital and
assure it a square deal She must keep awake and
he prepared to take care of the business that will
come with the development.
There is one way that every resid. lit of the town
might contribute to the preparation for the good
days that are coming and that is through trading
at home with the local merchants. The larger the
trade the local dealers get the larg r will he the
Blocks they carry and the better the service they
will be able to render. If Juneau has stores with
laige stocks and good service she will go a long
way to Insure a continuation of her supremacy in
her field. She will draw more heavily from the out
lying sections and she will cause Industries to locate
here.
(live the local merchants your trade and encour
age them to make Juneau the emporium of a section
of the country that Is as certain to develop rapidly
within a short time as anything under the sun is
certain. By doing that you will add to the pros
perity of all who live and work here.
I)R. KEARSLEY'S POSITION ON THE
INDIANS.
There is food for thought in the communication
from Dr Kearsley, that appeared in The Empire yes
terday, regarding the effect of education on the In
dians of Alaska. It is no answer to her observations
to say that the Indians of St. Lawrence have a broad
casting station or those of Metlakatla have a hydro
electric plant. She does not discuss high lights. She
bases her conclusions upon the everyday life of
the mass of the Indians with whom she lias come
In contact during thirteen years of work as a phy-j
sician and surgeon among them.
While conditions arc probably not quite so bad
In some, at least, of the communities where the popu
lation is almost exclusively Indians as one would
infer from Dr. Kearsley's letter, there is no doubt
hut that the process of developing the Indian race
in Alaska to the point where its masses would be
capable of assuming the duties and responsibilities of
citizenship, for instance, is a slow proposition.
Perhaps no one person ever accomplished as
much among the Indians of Alaska as Patlmr Duncan
of Metlakafln lie lived among them i,ir « half cen
tury. and he contended that the Indians, considered
as a whole, needed guardianship for several gen
erations before being able to take their places along
side of 'the white population as self-governing
citizens.
Of course It Is out of the question to consider
the return of the Indians to the conditions that
obtained before the coming of the white people.
They could not do it if they would and they wouldn’t
If they could. Dr. Kearsley evidently understands
this, for she suggests changes in the methods of!
education that would indicate that she realizes that |
sometime in the future the Indians must live as the!
average white people live.
Whatever may be the proper course to follow, it 1
ought to be evident to every thoughtful person that
a grave crime was perpetrated upon the Indian race
when it was organized into a voting bloc as stock .
In trade for scheming politicians with ambitions for' ,
place on the public payroll. I
There is always at best a lot of wastage of hmnniJ ]
i
material in the evolution of a race from savagery
to civilization The wastage is greater when it is
tried to force the pace of evolution faster than
natural laws indicate as wise. The final destiny of
j the Alaska Indians is a place with other races in
'American civilization, but It is criminal to try to
| force this destiny upon them before they are ready
for It.
FUSION ON JUDICIARY TICKET.
Tlie Democrats and Republicans of N'ew York,
following a custom that lias been in vogue for a
number of years, fused in the selection of candidates
for the Court of Appeals. .Judge Henjamln N. Car
doza. Democrat, was selected for Chief Judge of the
Court, succeeding Chief Judge Frank II Hiscock,
Republican, retired on account of age. A Republican,
Supreme Court Justice Henry T Kellogg, who selected
to succeed Judge Chester R. McLaughlin of the
Court of Apeals. Democrat, retiring on account of his
age Another Democrat was chosen to succeed Judge
Cardoza, who is being promoted to the Chief Judge
ship.
While Judge Cardoza was selected by flow Smith
for the place on the combination ticket and is a
Democrat, the selection was in no sense political.
He was the ranking member of the court to which
he was first appointed by C.ov. Martin H. Glynn
and then elected on a Democratic-Republican com
bination ticket. He is said to be one of the fore
most .jurists in the English-speaking world. llis title
to the nomination was conceded by everybody and
his endorsement by bodies of lawyers was unanimous
and emphatic.
While Hie Yankees have three victories to two
for the Cardinals the consolidated score gives the'
honors to the Western team by a somewhat close |
margin. In the five games St. Louis has eighteen
runs and forty-four hits to seventeen runs and thirty
eight hits for New York. Each team has made three
errors.
A type of the Western lawyer, developer and
politician of the old school passed away when former
Senator Pettigrew died. Born a Yankee, reared
and educated in the Middle West, he lived his life,
in a Western prairie town and accumulated honors
and prosperity with gathering age. He was na
tionally prominent during his last term in the
Senate.
The summary removal of Dr. Suzzallo as I’resi- j
dent of tile I'niversity of Washington was the last
straw There tire probably few people in the State
of Washington now who do not regret that Gov. !
Hartley has two more years to serve as Chief
Executive.
Sutherland and Hoover.
_
( Fairbanks News-Miner )
In attempting to deny the charge made against
him that lie is persona non grata with most men I
of importance in Washington. Delegate Sutherland.
In Ills Fairbanks speech said: "1 wish to say in
closing that my relations with every Cabinet officer
in the I'nited. with one exception, are extremely
cordial." While this statement Is evasive on the
face of It, and we have good reason to believe
that it is also not quite in accordance with the
facts, these are not the points we wish to make
at. this time. The significant thing about the
Delegate's statement is that, while he did not name
the Cabinet officer who is the "one exception,” i
every person in Alaska knows well that he had re
ference to Secretary Herbert Hoover of the Depart
ment of Commerce. And even though this were
literally true, and Mr. Hoover was the one Cabinet ,
officer with whom Mr. Sutherland does not maintain
cordial relations, this fact alone would be sufficient j
to condemn the Delegate in the minds of most |
Alaskans.
Most Alaskans can well remember the visit to
the Territory of the late President Harding, and
they cannot help but remember the tumultous ova
tion accorded at that time Mr. Hoover in every
Alaskan town. In the coast towns the crowds cheered
liis name to the echo and repeatedly demanded a
speech from him. If it does not savor of lese
majeste. one can safely say that Mr. Hoover’s popu
larity in Alaska was at least equal to the President's.
Hoover has ever been, and still remains, the idol
of Alaska. And this is the man Mr Sutherland
of Alaska has undertaken to expose to the people
of Alaska and to the Nation as the tool of the
"fish trust.”
The people of Alaska's Interior need but hark
back to the time when commercial fishing was at
tempted on the lower Yukon by the Carlisle Pack
ing Company, and threatened to cut off the source
of food supply to tlie natives and whites along the
river. Can anyone forget how swiftly. In response
to the protests of the people here, came the order
of the Secretary closing the area to commercial
fishing. There was no beating about the bush, there
were no investigations or experiments.—the facts
indicated that commercial fishing in that area was
a menace to the needs of the people, and that immed
iate relief was necessary. The result was swift and
permanent aid. Was this the act of Hoover, the
idol of Alaska, or of Hoover, the "tool of the fish
trust."
There is one very significant fact in Mr. Suther
land's statement. He has never attempted to pub
licly state the reasons for Ills hatred of Secretary
Hoover, and no other word would in our opinion
suffice to describe Mr. Sutherland's feeling toward
the Secretary than that, we have just used. The mere
mention of Mr. Hoover's name in the Delegate's
presence seems to act on him as the proverbial red
flag on a bull.
And in order to explain the eiarge against
him that he has no friends in Washington, Mr.
Sutherland elaborates a great deal on the fact that
ho hails from Massachusetts, and has in that State
friends who are friends of the President. Are the
people of Alaska to be given any credit for an
average amount of intelligence?
AVe repeat, Mr. Sutherland's unexplained feud,
chiefly of his own making, with Secretary Hoover, is
quite sufficient to convict him of one of the principal
charges against him, and it will take a great deal
more than Mr. Sutherland has thus far shown to
cause the people of Alaska to lose faith in the in
tegrity of Herbert Hoover.
Shall the Territory undertake the burden of sup
porting the Indian population of Alaska solely to
further the political ambitions of a few people?—
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
In hiB Seward speech Delegate Sutherland said:
'You cannot serve two masters: you cannot serve
nod and Mammon.” In view of his further re
narks It is presumed he likenpd himself to God and
his opponent to Mammon.— (Valdez Minor.)

WHAT NEXT!—All item on the

i lie women have adopted colorful
pajamas for afternoon wear.
Just offhand, the best we can soy
for pajamas as an afternoon costume]
is that they at least would make It
possible to wear some of the silk
hosiery that has runs or holes in it.

"Oh, her husband’s

giving a piece of it to the poor boob
who falls for her.”
IT’S BETTER'
TO GIVE

SO THAT'S IT!—We suppose the
reason why saying goodby is re
duced from three hours before mar
riage to three seconds afterward Is
because a man finds the parting
more of a pleasure than a pain after
he’d had about so many years of
hearing what's wrong with him.
