ALASKA'S GOVERNOR
UNDER A CLOUD
Executive Appointed by Missionary
Element Investigated by Presidents
Agent Has Romantic History.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 16. For sew
eral months Governor John c. Brady
of Alaska has been under cross fire
of criticism. accusation and ugly
rumor. Last spring, while President
Roosevelt was considering the matter
of %re.appointing him, these complaints
and charges were brought to his at
tention in an effort 10 defeat the APP
pointment. That this effort was not
successful. was due to the powerful
Influence at Washington OF the Pres
byteriau Board of Missions, under the
direction of which organization Gov
ernor Brady first went to Alaska as
a missionary.
1t was the missionary influence
which secured him the appointment
as governor eight years ago, reap
pointment in the face of strong Oppor
sition four years ago, and again last
spring.
One of the charges made against
Governor Brady is that he is unpro-
gressive. has no sympathy with the
efforts of big capitalistic interests to
develop the district along modern
lines, and exerts his influence chiefly
in an effort to retain Alaska for the
benefit of the degenerate n decay
ing native tribes, and for the exploita'
ton of the missionaries at work
among them.
At the time the mining interests
were trying to defeat Governor Brady's
re-appointment they offered to furn'
ish President Roosevelt with specific
information concerning a serious
breach of official conduct on the part
Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1905-12-16

of the governor, but before this was
produced the re-appointment went 10
the senate and was confirmed. soon
after, however, the promised informa-
ton arrived in the form of a printed
copy of an enthusiastic endorsement
by the governor of the Reynolds
Alaska Development company, OF
which Governor Brady was a director,
advising all investors TO put money
into the company's stocks, and as
surfing them of his confidence in its
bright future.
When verified copies of this pros
pectus were presented to the presl-
dent. he wired Governor Brady imme-
diately to sever his connection with
the company. and withdraw his en-
dorsement, or resign. He did the
former.
On June 9Th, President Roosevelt
dispatched Frank C. Churchill, a
special agent of the Interior Depart
ment. to Alaska, to make an inYestl-
cation. Churchill went 10 Sitka, Gov
ernor Brady's official residence,
where he remained several days, re-
turning thence to Washington, via
Seattle. The result is not yet known,
Governor Brady's biography reads
almost like a His parent
age is unknown. He VAS picked up
a homeless waif, on the streets of
New York. where he sold papers, and
adopted by a man named Brady,
whose name he took. He secured a
university education by his W eff
forts, studied law, entered the min
istry, and went to Alaska fifteen years
g as a missionary. When Mckinley
became president, the missionary in
fluence in Alaska predominated at
Washington, and Brady was chosen
governor. He is now serving his ninth
year In his reports he has devoted
much attention to missionary work,
the schools. the native tribes and
their welfare, but very little to the i'm

and certainly not less than three
times a week-would require not less
six years. After six years the
repertory would include not only the
worlds classics, but also plays by
the best modern authors, and even
light comedies. American authors
would have a generous hearing in the
national playhouse, and actors would
be ambitious to become members of
this national theater for the sake of
the distinction which their appear

tablished without great sacrifice Of
money. The building erected for
such a purpose should be. like the art

BY Heinrich Conreid.
Director of the Metropolitan Opera
Company.

Our schools are supported by pub
lie taxation, our universities by the
munificence and philanthropy of our
high finance. Our libraries we owe
partly to the requests of whole es-
tates and largely to the liberality of
one multi millionaire, who also spent
money freely in the cause of scien-
tific research. AS for our churches,
they are generously provided for by
myriads of open handed believers.
But u dramatic art, less fortunate,
has had to struggle against fearful
odds, and has been abandoned to the
commercial enterprise.
How can this anomoly be remedied?
How a we reform a state of things
which allows one, and perhaps the
most popular, of the arts, to languish
in neglect? In one way, and, ! feel,
in me way only. By the foundation
Of a national theater.
A theater which is compelled, by
financial considerations, to present
the same play, night after night, can
not be regarded seriously as an edu-
Gator. Give us a national theater,
and with a changing repertory we shall
he able to play upon the whole reg
lister of human passions, to lash all
| conceivable ~follies, and TO kindle all
emotions that make for the ennoblinG
of the collective coul of the people.
Chance for a Shakespeare.
The American Shakespeare. who is
TO raise dramatic monuments to ouI
national heroes, is still unborn; or
il living. lives in ~obscurity, barred
from the stage which either cannot OF
will not recognize him. Give us a ma
tional theater, and have u American
Shakespeare.
Through the continual presentation
| Of the standard plays of all nations
in as nearly perfect a manner as pos
| sible. a national theater would raise
public taste. II would encourage me
! cultivation of higher ideals, It would
lift the art of acting in this country
TO a position of excellence. and, IN
an probability. lead TO the creation OF
an American dramatic literature.
The national theater would be a
standard for the pronunciation OF
English words. The pronunciation
would be absolutely and u%ndeniably
correct would never be deyiated
from, and would be accepted by all
actors throughout the United States
nay, by society, itself, as authorita-
live. The great art of dictiOn in a
broad sense, would also be fostered,
till at last Il approached perfection.
The national theater, moreover,
would be the standard OF correctness
in matters of costume, scenery and
manners. It would. indeed, become
the standard for a hundred and one
things for which there is not and
4 never yet has been a standard.
Il Requires Time. :

| Paris and the Burgtheater Of Vienna
