[
A member-elect of the next Alaska
legislature assembly has declared that
the question of conferring the elec
tive franchise on certain of the Alas
ka native population will receive con
sideration at the coming session.
Several months ago the progressive
educated class of natives organized the
Native Alaska Brotherhood and an
nounced the present goal of the
organization to be the acquirement of
the elective franchise for those quali
fied by education and other conditions
to exercise it.
The following paper written by
Robert It. Diven for the Verstovian,
published monthly at the Sheldon
Jackson school in Sitkn, explains more
I fully what is being done by the
i "Brotherhood.”
Close observers of the recent an
nual meeting of the Grand Lodge of
the Alaska Native Brotherhood, held
in Sitka on November 24-30, believe
that it marked the beginning of an
epoch of advancement among all the
Southeastern Alaska tribes. Pull and
free discussion of such topics ns "Busi
ness.” “Education,” Religion," Citiz
enship and How to Attain It,” was in
dulged in by the twenty-three mem
bers of the Grand Lodge, and many
Illuminating facts were brought forth.
The purpose of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood is “to assist and en
courage the native in bis advance
ment from his native state to his place
among the cultivated races of the
world, to oppose, discourage and over
come the narrow injustice of race
prejudice, and to aid in the develop
ment of the great American Empire
of Alaska, etc." Great Interest cen
tered in the discussion of the lodge's
purpose, especially when the fact de
veloped that by “the narrow injustice
of race prejudice” was meant those
obstinate barriers to progress found
within the native himself, instead of
the real and fancied bigotries and in
justices of the white people. In nearly
| every instance cited, failure in busi
ness, miscarriage in manual as well
as in intellectual training, and the
return to their uwhnolesome habits
as well as to their ambitionless ideals,
were traced most convincingly to the
relentless influence of old custom ideas
and pratices. The Alaska Native
Brotherhood lins solmenly pledged its
membership to strive unceasingly for
the eradication of these blighting
practices, and to set forward each
!• nglish-spcaking native man who is
ready and willing to forswear all old
customs and tribal ties that may, in
any manner or degree whatsoever,
hinder or detract from his unfit ness for
worthily hearing the responsibilities
and honors of American citizenship,

Putting On The Lid
t ard machines, money machines
and all devices having the ntckel-in
• ho slot attachment for the lure of
the five cent piece, have been a thing
of the p,nst In Southeastern Alaska
since the family clock struck eight
last Friday night.

“Millions in money nre awaiting a
chance to go into Alaska," said
Thomas Riggs, .lr., members of the
Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the
University of Washington “The same
^ind of millions Hint opened that Rand
in South Africa, blazed the way to
wealth In South America and Austral
ia and made possible the fortunes of
California, Colorado and Nevada
mines, nre clamoring for admittance
into \laska. Alaska is the Iasi great
indeveloped empire.
■‘.lurt ar soon as capital is assured
transportation, then investments will
lie made and development get its im
petus. We are going to build railroads
In Alaska and I look for a healthy,
steady and wonderful growth the next
decade. The gold mining industry is
due for a richer life than It lias ever
had.
' The placet- miner of today in Al
aska is a different man from the pla
cer minor of the old bonanza days.
'Ie does not come home from a night
in the dance hall now to start work
the next morning in a haphazard way;
he reads his mining magazines and en
flneers’ reports and goes about the
development of his properties in n
scientific and systematic fashion."
He urged the younger general o- of
Alaska, typified In the university stu
dents composing the Sourdough Club,
to do what they could to dispel the
pessimism of the old sourdoughs who
demeaned the passing of the “old
days."
