matter. A full vote always means security in gov

unless it is preceded by a full registration. Only
those who are registered can vote.
It If, the duty of everyone who has an interest in
the welfare of the town to register and to take an

and ur.k your neighbors and friends to do so.
ABOUT MISCONCEPTIONS OF THE NORTH
It is not unusual to hear Ala: kails complain of
the lack of understanding of Northern conditions on
Ihc part of people in tiic States. Now comes Prince
ltupert with a grievance in tliut respect, and its ob
jection is that some Californians have assumed that
conditions in that town are comparable with those
in Alaska.
The Prince Kupert Times puts the matter In these
words:
A report of tiie dinner given in Cali
fornia recently by Prince ltupert people at
which reindocr meat \\as served because it
war thought this city being close to Alaska
reindeer would be the natural food of the
people, gave an idea of the popular im
pression in the south in regard to Canada.
* >C' The process of education is a long one.
People naturally look to tlie north for snow
and ice and for hardship during the long
fight against the elements. It is impossible
to prevent this. Movie artists arc turning
their attention to the rigors of the north for
their latest sensations, and this is bound
to continue. Wo cannot help advertising our
drawbacks more than our advantages. The
question which arises is what is the anti
dote? We have none to suggest but put it
up to our readers. What are we to do
about it?
If the Canadian town has a grievance in this matter
it would eeom that it has passed it on, for it docs not
distinguish between those parts of Alaska that are
• ltd those that are not reindeer countries. Hcw
■ ver, the misfortune cf Prince Rupert and that por
tion of Alaska which lies near it is rather that they
have no reindeer than that a misconception of the
acts exists somowhere.
MR. PAIL EMPHASISES NEED KOIl
LITERACY TEST.
Speaking before the Committee of the Whole
House Mr. Paul declared that the Foster Literacy
Bill wculd disqualify 1,000 Indian voters. That is
not so certain., It has never been established in a
'court of competent jurisdiction that Indians who can
not read and write and who continue to live more or
•Icrs under tribhl customs are qualified voters in
Alaska. However, if the statement is true, it em
phasises the need for the legislation. One thousand
illiterate and un-understanding voters are a menace
to clean, democratic government in a country where
tltey constitute ar large a percentage of the whole
vote as they do in Alaska.
The Foster Bill would net ufTect the vote of a
tingle Indian who can read and write. Under it. it
it should become a law, every Indian who could cast
bis own vote understand!ugly would retain the voting
privilege. Only those who would be brought to the
polls and voted by someone else would be shut out.
Mr Polley hit the nail squarely on the head when
bo 'aid that the situation as it now stands is an
invitation to corrup political practiaes. It must not
r be forgotten that it ten per cent, or more of tin
voters of Alaska aro to lie subject toNthe control of
politician: or others who are interested in candidate
<r policies that will be competition in the race lor
their v( ies. It will mean decisions that are not based
upon the intelligence and will of individuals. (t
nay mean decision: • 'cured through purchase or
other means of corruption, it certainly will mean
a system of trading and log-rolling that is sub
vershe of good citizenship and celan government.
If untutored Indians who know nothing of our
system of relf-govcrument are to be permitted to vote
it will be a menace to I he welfare of the Indians
themselves. It will tend to destroy high ideals of
citizenship among a portion of (lie population that
r.tcds all tlie encourugemen), that clean example
implies.
CHICAGO IS REFORMING.
The independent Chicago, Poet declares that the
V. Indy City will have a good administration after the
Inauguration of the Mayor who will be elected next
mouth no matter whether the Democrats or the Ke
puMicans win. Postmaster Arthur C. Lueders, who
received the Hepublicau nomination, it is declared
(ha« not a bit of tho taint of Thompsonism upon him.

.and cleanliness. And likewise, the Post proclaims

a Judge, and a man of sterling character and high
class executive ability.
It will he gratifying to the whole country to be
able to think of America's second city without hav

If the eminent Tex Rickard really Is sin

with Representative W1 n go, of Arkansas,
and Representative Jones, of Texas, both of
whom recently. demonstrated marked pugilis
tic capabilities in the House.—(Cincinnati
Enquirer.)
Don’t overlook Senator Caraway and his umbrella.
To see those who cannot read or write and who
are unacquainted with public questions dragged to
tho polls and voted by others is not a wholesome
spectacle to the Indians of Alaska who are endeav
oring to qualify themselves to become American citi
zens through attending school and learning to live ac
cording to the customs of modern civilization.
There are times probably when Western Europe
wishes the Near East and the Fa r East would

East were not so near.
“With” or “From?”
(Hydor Miner.)
M. L, Spencer, Director of the School of Journal
ism, University of Washington, writes: “We say
that one person differs ‘with1 another wtien the dif
fering is a matter of opinion. Hut we also say that
a perron differs ‘from’ another when the difference is
in physical appearance.”
I We cannot agree wilh this opinion; we must
differ hrem it.
Alaska Awakening.
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
Obvicus proof of improvement in Alaska business
. is shown ni tho statement of its commerce during
j 1922, which exceeded in value that of the previous
I year by nearly twenty-one million dollars.
One item- fish — totaled $59,225,790 for the year
in exports.
The mining industry, too, showed new life. The
j production for export last year was one million dol
lars over the Hguro of the previous year.
Tlie wood pulp industry has made a beginning,
with one plant in operation. The present year will
chow a great advance in this industry.
Alaska was hard hit by the war. Its young men
joined tlie army, and its industries, except copper,
waned. Now it i;; coming back strong.
Just now it is expecting the greatest year's busi
ness, and the greatest volume of tourist travel in
its history.
Pays Tribute to School System.
(Skagway Alaskan.)
Governor Scott C. Bone, in his message to tlie
sixth biennial legislature pays a high tribute to the
school systems of the Territory. The Territory’s
Chief Executive not only pays a tribute to the school
system but ranks it among the foremost achievements
of tlie Northland. Governor Bone very justly points
with prideful linger to the firm fundation upon,
which tlie educational system of the Territory now'
finds itself established.
It speaks well for Alaska that its Chief Execu
tive is thus enabled to address his assembly of law
making citizens; it is a tribute to this northern do
main of the United States, that its progressive stand
ards of mental training for tho coming generations
are, while the country itself is as yet only in its
infancy, one recognized by the great union of stales
forming the parent government of tlie south.

Close Seoson for Halibut.
(Prince Rupert News.)
A closed season for halibut has been decided upon,
a treaty drawn up and signed by the I'nited States
and Canada and this will have to be ratified by the
I’nited, States Senate and tho Parliament of Canada
before it becomiC3 law. As there is likely to be little
opposition to tills, the only feasible method of pro
tecting the halib.ut during tho spawning season, it is
to be presumed that the Senate will pass It.
While it will tend to make the fishing boats of
Prince Rupert and Kotchikan rather quiet during
the three months when no halibut is coming in,
it will stabilize the business and prolong the num
ber of years during which halibut fishing may be car
pied on. As it has been in the past with the other
hanks, the fishing grounds would soon have been
depleted and then wo should have to look to other
fish to supply the market.
Again and agailn the Government has been asked
to arrange for a close season and the Mackenzie King
administration is to bo commended for its prompt
action.
!
Those who own mines or prospects will be much
encouraged by the rise in price of copper. As many
of fhe mines in the north contain copper. Inis will
make developing thc-m better worth while, and will
also make the smelters keener on getting ore. Kvery
ihing points to u decided revival in mining both on
the coast and In the, interior and there is no doubt
I ut ihc scarcity of copper and the consequent rise
in price will be a factor in this revival.— (Prince
Rupsrl News.)
