ALASKAN TREATMENT
With the political pot boiling
ever aud candidates for offices in
the territory of Alaska and those
seeking to be our representatives in
the national congress ou the verge
of proclaiming to the voters of the
territorv their sterling qualities and
ardent fervor for all the Institu
*ions vrafch. harbor Alasksans—an
exceptionally- opportune time pre
sents itself to bring before their
observation th© true facta of an
institution which is supposed to
iaiv:ul!y protect those who have de
vo'cd their energies and talents to
explore and devlop this country. As
a result of the hardships borne, the
lonely habitation which they have
been forced to live and their strug
gle with the cold bleak winters has
left the:r minds and bodies a wreck.
In bringing these facts before the
people ive would ask those men re
sponsible for the public weal what
they intend to do about it?
We uave on file the affidavits of
former inmates of the Moruingside
Sanitarium of Portland, forwarded
to n.s t>y the Nome Chamber of
Commerce, wherein is given
•he barbaric treatment of
t iicse so unfortunate as to be sent
there ':v the government for treat
meat. They range anywhere from
four to five hired brutes tieing a
patient and ehokir.g him into iu
ssisibiiitey aud then kicking him
in the face until his countenance is
black and blue, to the most
heathenish, outrageous forms of
bodily t-ucishment. To one who
has been reared in thia modern age
the rt-adirg of on® of the affa^
davits reminds one of the time he
was iu his teens iu school read
nig of the prehistoric ages where
Mcuarchial Kin.;s burned their
prisouers alive, threw tlum down
dark dungeons aud left them to
starve.
(h:e Evperience
Uuot:ug from one of the affida
vits, "I was taken iu hand by the
superintendent and four attendants
aud thrown ou my bijck, one attend
ant placed his foot iu my face, an
other held by arms and the other
set his foot in the pit of my stom
ach; the superintendent held my
legs down, and they all beat me
audkicked me until I was uncon
scious; when 1 revived 1 found my
face was black aud swollen; 1
could hardly see out of one eye, one
fcoth w«ts kicked loose and dropped
out: ni> body fi's bruised ^ui iQ
many places it turned black and
blue."
Think of it people—can you im
agine such heathenish treatment
being given a human bieng?
Vet it is represented to
us that our men ai»d women, citi
zens ol this gi'ert No.ihlanS are
being treated iu sa:h a manner.
Cer'ainJy ere this, a c.mplaint must
have l.'t en filed wilh the men who
are holding public offices, of this
Alarican treatment. Again we
would ask the me a who have the
control of the situation. What do
you Intend to do about it? God
■ fc-rbid that knowing the facts you
will sit calmly by and do nothing.
The treatment must net only be
stopped but the men responsible
fcr the dealing out this kind of
treat nit Lit to Alaskans our people,
should icet theirs..
Given S-I-oO I'er Month
Can it be that the institution
and the men who are running the
institution think more of the $27.50
per head a month than they do
about applying the proper1 medical
treatment to the unfortunate mem
bers of 9ooiety? Can it be that
they i:Ave purposely soivcd food
that would not sell in any of the
markets of the country, to these
poor creatures, to make money? Ce>
tainly there i3 net sutli a coward,
with suoh a b.-oad yellow streak
running down his spinal column that
would stoop to such a plr.ne for hi^
daily bread and butter.
The Daily Alaskan takes a stand
for everything that touches Alas
kan people, her industries ai d in
utituiiQns. We are trying to fer
rit out the condition by at least
bringing attention to the public and
the men who are in a position to
make an invest-'gstien of the sani
tarium. These conditions as pre
sented in the affidavit.0, if true,
call for the cry it. g voice of each
and all of us in Alaska for an im
mediate investigation.
Despite repeated assUianiea from
the German government that bey or. d
