Y. M. c. A. EXPLANATION

Editor of DAILY ALASKAN: Permit
me through the columns of your paper to
correct wrong impression that some of
the people of Skagwav have formed con.
cernrning the management of the Y. N. c.
A. Because of its association with the
PRESBYTERIAN church, by reason of our oc-
cupying jointly in part at least, the same
buildings, these two have been connected
and some have formed the impression that
il is controlled in Its workings by the
PRESBYTERIAN church. In justice to both
church and assoei ition it should be stated
that they are not in anvwise connected in
their management or workings. To those
who are acquainted with the work of the
Y. M. C. A., a world wide movement
founded on certain and fixed principles, of
which non>sectarianism Is one of the fore
most. no such explanation need be made.
No work could be conducted on such
broad basis and be sectarian and the local
association is but branch of the general
movement having for Its constitution that
which governs fifteen hundred similar in
stitutions in the United States and Cana
da alone,
This constitution provides that not more
than four members Of Its board of manage
ment shall be members of the same relig>
ious denomination. In the local board
consisting of twelve men It will be found
that there are only three Presbyterians
while there are four Methodists. The le-
naming five members Of the board are d.
vided between the other denominations.
More than this, In the present Instance
its executive officer Is not PRESBYTERIAN,
SO that the onlv possible excuse for cons
Meeting the two Is the fact that the church
building is leased BY the association for
reading room purposes because of its cent
raj location and facilities offered for the
erection Of suitable buildings for the con-
Quoting of the other features of the work.
Trusting that this may help to clear any
confused ideas that some may have enter
tained In connection with the local work,
am In behalf Of the young men Of Skae-
wav, Yours faithfully, w. A. Reid.

ALASKA AS IT IS.

While the loud voiced orators OF the
republican and democratic parties are
holding forth to their more or less ap-
preciative audiences in the several
states of the union, in regard to the
wonderful possibilities of the Philip
pines or or the perils of the expansion
policy, Alaska. neglected and abused.
struggles on in its efforts to rise, ours
ed by some of the most damnable legis-
lation ever conceived by the mind of
man.
II the fate of the Alaskans' prayer
to the powers that be augurs anything
for the policy to be applied in case of
the final subjugation of Aguanaldo and
his followers, we do not blame them
for the stout resistance they are max
ing, but rather envy them for the hope
they have of ultimate success.
They history of this end of the pie
counter is 80 filled with horrible abuses
that if it were known, it would cause
our revolutionary fOrefathers to turn
in their graves for very shame and in
dignation. Yet Alaska the land of pa
thence, struggles on, and only now and
then does groan of resentment reach
the shores of the mother country. 1t
would seem that the watchword of the
nation is nov: Millions for conquest,
but not one cent for justice.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to enumerate in details the wrongs al
luded to- 1t would take too long and
we have not the spare at this time. Suf-
fee to say that every industry has felt
the bliehting effect of the tax placed
upon it, and the drain o. money that
flows into the treasury at Washington.
Many "infant industries" have been
forced to relinquish their efforts and
today their wheels are standing idle.
Our people have meet in convention
and have drafted resolutions and petit
tions, which they have piled at the feet
Of legislators at the hands of authoriz-
ed, but unpaid and, perhaps, unwel-
come representatives; yet without
avail. The spirit of entrenchment in
expenditures has been always the poll
cy with Alaska. Large and influential
trading companies have been suffered
to drain our resources of valuable furs,
with but slight remuneration to the
government, but the pioneer who comes
to develop, to dig, to delve, and build
for himself home, is subjected to
tax that makes the task doubly great.
The usual encouragement and libirali-
ty Is supplanted by policy that de-
prives him of even the benefit of the
homestead laws.
Much more might be said in regard
to the systems Of courts of justice that
has been in vogue, but which has hap
PLY been remedied, in a measure, with
in the last few months. The system of
taxation referred to has been in opera
tion for more than year and its effects
become more apparent each succeeding
day.
We would ask the question Can we
stand il? Win the business interests
of the country survive the continue
tion of this most pernicious system P
