THE FOSTER LITERACY BILL.
Two of I ho tests that should t»o applied to pro
posals for new legislation arc the need for the legis
lation to meet conditions and a demand on the part
<t the people for it. The tests should be met fully.
The need should not be a chimerical or transient need.
Jt thould b real. And the demand should not be
the Judgment of one or two persons, but a responsive
nets [hat would make tho enforcement of the legisla
tion practicable.
The Foster Mteracy Mill meets both tests. The
in ed for It has b en shown over and over during the
last half dozen year.-. People have voted by the
icore In Alaska w ho hav • not known for whom or
what they voted. People have voted for candidates
lor office who could not only tot read English but
who could speak it. People have voted to whom
cn Interpreter could not explain ^n such manner that
the voter could understand St the nature of the
cffiiv the candidate voted fer Wat to till. Voters
have admitted on the witness stand that they knew
nothing if the matt r at all. They have admitted
they voted as some out told thorn to vote. Which
means they (opposed that was the way they voted
for others marked their ballots, they knew not how.
The demand for : ich legislation as the Foster
Bill has been imistent and persistent for a long time.
It has been contended that such legislation would
effect the Indian vote. Of course it would. 11 would
[top front voting those Indians who cannot read and
write, tlio.e who would go to the pollH and ask to
dtavo thetr votes marked just as someone else re
quested them to have them marked. But it would
hold up to the Indians of Alaska, as to the white
citizens of (In- Territory, the privileges of full elti
benshlp as something to he striven for and to he
prized.
The Empire has c mended for years that the des
tiny of the Indians if Alaska is full citizenship on
cn exact equality with the whites. But for their
twn good and for the good of the Territory tills
1- a destiny that should be acheived and it should
be priezd by those who achieve it The privilege of
voting • hctild not be cheap: ne I, so degraded, that
it may be thought of light!-. The Indians who are
rtrlving to get an education, w o ..re working to
acquire a knowledge of government and capacity to
live up to tiie s-'.indards of the white race should
he taught to li >k up n citiz -n.-blp and its privileges
as something too -acred to be cheaply bertowed.
They should h< taught that the franchise belongs
to iho Individuals uflio h.ve efirned the right to exer
cise it. That is not the lev on they learn when
•hose who cannot read or wri'e and who do not
understand the i sues involved in -n election are led
lu the polls by another person and voted in droves.
1 dots not teach the principles of democratic gov
ernment, a government bast 1 upon ‘ one person one
vote," to roe certain people in effect casting scores
nud hundred of votes.
The Foster Bill should become a law. The In
dian. need it. The white people need it. Alaska
needs it. This young Tetritcry rhould not be com
pelled to meet the hazard that gees along with an
Ignorant and continued electorate

A Lc Viigi’ii n ntempora.y relates that a woman
< that «*it>v test Kin] In Court that she went to Tia
Juana with friends, took ivvo drinks, and when she
.came to di-tcavtued that she had been married. If
[lie had two more drinks she might not have come
to and thus avoided the almost certainly Inevitable
divorce.
THAT ANGLO-SAXON ALLIANCE.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Baldwin of the Law
Government in Britain declares that the passing
events in Europe are making it clearer every day
that the place of the world and the welfare of
humanity will force a great Anglo-Saxon Alliance—
one in which all English speaking peoples shall be
represented. lie believes that the United Stales,
Gnat Briatin. Ireland, Canada. Australia and South
Africa must unit • tor the geed of the world and that
increasing European entanglements are driving them
together for that purpose.
It might come to pass. Yet such an organization
for any other purpose than the general welfare of the
World would be wor e than usele.'s. Therefore, whv
exclude from the alliance other nations which also
are concerned abcut world welfare? An Anglo-Saxon
alliance to be ^successful would have to he wholly
unselfish, would have to he founded upon the prin
ciple of doing unto others as one would be done by.
|t wotfld not last long enough for the news of its
formation to reach tlie four corners of the world if
it weere an cid4 fashioned "offensive and defensive"
alliance for the purpose ol selfish aggrandizement.;
Its cardinal purpose would have to be to do exact
aud equal justice, Dot only to the alliance members,
but to little Liberia and powerful Prance and all '
other countries irrespective of color, rare or language.
Therefore, why not an alliance taking them all In?
fl'bymot a League of Nations?^
L After ail. therefore, there could only be one cause
_r an Anglo-Saxon Alliance, aud that is no doubt
-~~a.—.
I
tlio thought behind tlie idea of Chancellor Bald
win. That would be if. on account of conflicting
interests, suspicion and distrust, lack of understand
ing, and appreciation of and confidence In I he merit
and purpose of others, the English speaking peoples
constitute the largest group of nations with a common
purpose that could be got togethei in an agreement
that would be kepi in good faith. If events should
demonstrate tha to lie tlie case, ihen let us have an
Anglo-Saxon alliance. But let us first all do our
part to form a larger league.
The speed of modern transportation was exempli
[ fled the oilier day when $10,000,000 worth of Jap

shipment was carried across the Pacific Ocean by the
Admiral Line's steamship President Grant.
How we progress! A short time ago a "conserva

Legislator Condemns Harding.
( Ketchikan Chronicle, t
Representative Grant of Wrangell has introduced
i resolution in l lie Territorial Legislature condemning
the administration for its action in creating a fish
eries reserve in tlie waters of Alaska and demanding
the immediate abolition of such reservation.
Not often, if ever, in the history of tho nation
has a State or Territorial Legislature, preponderantly
made up of one party, condemned the Feedral ad
ministration of the same party. It is so unusual
that the suggestion of it becomes almost amazing,
beyond comprehension.
The present administration lias shown keen in
terest in Alaska, and its bureaus and departments
have recommended legislation for the Territory which
as yet has been, in several instances, overlooked or
disregarded. President Harding himself has shown
especial interest in the Territory, lie has repeatedly
expressed tile desire to come to Alaska, to gain first
hand information regarding it, and has promised
that he will make the long journey during the com
ing summer unless something of vital national or
international interest prevents. And if he does come!
he will have shown more rgeard for Alaska than any!
of his predecessors, for never in history has a Presi-I
tic nt or even an ex-Presddent set foot in the Territory.'
And now, when he is about to so honor the Ter-i
ritory, is he to be greeted with a slap in the face
from the Legislature? It is unthinkable. And It is'
to be hoped that every member of the- Territorial;
Legislature will give serious consideration to the!
proposed resolution.
As. Mr. Hutton, Assistant Secretary of Commerce,!
well said yesterday, as quoted in an Associated Press
dispatch, the administration only stepped in as a
last resort because it had not been possible to get
legislation to cover the situation, and that the re- j
serve would only exist until such time as Congress!
acts in the matter. President Harding is not at-1
tempting to usurp the functions of Congress, nor!
lias he at any time. On the contrary, he hu3 shown
unusual consideration for the wishes and feelings of
Congress.
Likes and dislike-, and politics, should abso
lut» i> he lorgoiten in the consideration of the pro
posed resolution Only one thing should he con
sidered, and that is whether tho Territory of Alaska
wishes to insult President Harding? It may he ar
gued that even of greater consideration >haii that
is the abridgment of personal rights of fishermen or
the conservation of the fisheries Hut such is not’the
case, for the proclamation ot the President will stand
until Congres meets again next December, as now
intended If the Legislature wishes to do something
constructive but not insulting in the premises let It
adopt resolutions, or a memorial to Congress,’asking
i' to put the fisheries question foremost on its cal
endar tor the December term; to go into the matter
thoroughly and pass such legislation a- n may think
proper tor the conservation of this food supply, that
the reservation may then he eliminated as is now
intended by President Harding
It i a certainty that President Harding will not
Change Ins proclamation creating the t, serve for 'his
isliitig reason. And for that reason, if no other the
proposed insult can do no good and is likely to do
Irreparable harm.
While the Legislature is considering this Grant
resolution, it will also have before it a resolution «
lending an Invitation to President Harding to ' visit
Alaska during the summer. If it passes the Grant
lesoiution, to bo conslsent, it should kill the resolu
tion of invitation. 5(>lu
