The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-12-08

Army officers who have investigated
restitution among the Copper River
Indians in Alaska are Of the opinion
that government assistance will injure
rather than benefit the Indians. Capt.
Eli A. Helmick of the Tenth Infantry,
stationed at Fort Liscum, Alaska, in
a recent report, recommended that the
Indians be placed under a government
agent, who shall determine to what
extent relief should be afforded by
the government.
Capt. Helmick says that government
aid to the Indians so far has done
them absolute injury, as it "encour-
ages them to hope for continued as
sistance that will enable them to exc
out a lazy and trif1ng existence" He
also says that in helping these In
dams the government must remember
that it is trying to help persons who
will not help themselves.
The military secretary at Wash
ingtOn has expressed the opinion that
the Alaska Indians can be cared for
best by placing them under the depart
ment Of the interior and dealing with
them much as the government deals
with other Indians in this country.
1.-The civilian employees of the
military secretary's Office" says the
report, almost without exception have
haon faithful zoalo,,S op6 efficient in
the discharge of their respective du-
ties, and they are entitled to great
commentator for the promptness and
intelligence with which they have
transacted the public business passing
through their hands,
Godfrey A. Chealander of Seattle,
who has made a study of the In
dams in Alaska, and their needs,
when asked his opinion as to the best
way of caring for the Copper River
and Northwestern Indians stated this
morning that the only practical solu-
ton of the problem is the placing of
these people under the care of an
Indian agent and handling them as
are the aborigines in the western and
eastern states.
According to Mr. Chealander it would
be great mistake to place the mat
ter in the hands of the military de-
partment of the government and the
concensus of opinion among men who
know the conditions in Alaska is that
the Alaskan Indians must be taken
in hand by the department of the in
terror which is best fitted for the
work

SANITY" GATHERS BIG CROWD
Little Boys and Girls Are Pleased
With Preliminary Visit of Gift
Man to Golden Rule Store.

Yelling, giggling, jostling, young
sters hundreds strong besieged the
windows in front of the Golden Rule
department store this morning to see
Santa Claus. The dirty little boys, in
ragged jeans jostled against pretty lit
tie girls in fur-trimmed jackets in
that hilarious crowd of frenzied chill
dren which waited for the appearance
of the jolly old saint.
When deserted coming out of the
alley and tOting his pack towards the
front door of the store there was one
amalgamated shrek Of delight from
the juveniles.
The ancient saint was all logged
out in red fur trimmed coat, with the
long white beard and "jolly round
face" and the way he made toys and
sorted toys and fixed toys in the big
front window sent the children into
repeated paroxysms of delight.
1t was a sight good for cynical
eyes and many an "old folk" on bust
ness bent, fingered on the edge of the
merry crowd and dropped his COM
mercial frown for a few moments as
he watched the gleeful boys and
girls.

ESCAPES IN SAUER KRAUT
Russian Political Prisoner Make
America in Safety.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. S.-George
Gershuni, a Russian political prisoner
from Siberia, arrived here on the
China yesterday. He escaped from the
Akatny prison in Siberia, concealed
in a barrel Of sauerkraut.
Gershuni was one of the organizers
Of the fighting organization of the Rus
sian revolutionist party.
Gersnuni was arrested in May, 1903,
and in March, 1904, was sentenced to
be hanged. AS he had never assisted
personally in the killing Of anybody,
his sentence was committed to life
Imprisonment in the Schlesselburg
penitentiary. He was afterward trans
ported to the prison at Akatny, near
the Manchurian border.

THIEVES STEAL SILVER
Cruiser Minneapolis Loses Valuable
Gift of Citizens.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The navy
department has been advised that
thieves have stolen all the silverWare
and other valuables from the cruiser
Minneapolis, now in dock at the League
Island navy yard, Philadelphia. The
value of the goods stolen amounts to
$1,000.
The Minneapolis which recently re-
turned from Cuba with battalion OF
marines was ordered out of commits
sion two weeks ago. The cruiser, then
on the river front, was ordered to the
back channel.
Everything valuable, including the
silver service, which was priced as
present from the citizens of Minneap-
oils, was packed away in heavy trunks
and locked in the captains cabin. On
Friday morning, Nov. %, one Of the
officers went on board to arrange for
the removal of the trunks to a perma-
nent place of safety during the cruis-
er's period of nom commission. The
robbery was discovered then.
The door of the captains room had
been forced. and the trunks pried open.
Articles We're scattred over the floor
and the silver was gone
The puZzlng part of it is that there
was always an officer and a number
of the crew on board at all times.

SUES FOR HIS YELLOW DOG
Twenty Witnesses Occupy Stand Dur
ing a Day at Portland On Ae-
count of Saffron Canine.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. S.-An
amusing case has just been decided
in the Mount Tabor justice court
wherein 20 witnesses appeared and
testified in a dispute over an abso-
lutely worthless and good-for- moth
ing yellow dog.
J. A. Monger sued H. r. Black for
the possession of the dog and the best
part of a day was used up in hear
ing testimony in the case. When the
constable went to the residence of the
defendant to get the dog in order to
insure it's appearance in court Mr..
Black put up $3.50 bonds SO that he
could retain the dog until the time set
for the trial. 1t might be mentioned
here, incidentally that Mr.. Black lost
the dog.
Witnesses appeared from all classes
of society and were all ages, from 10
years to 60. Ten witnesses in cOnsec-
utive order testified positively to the
identity of the dog in court. Ten others
followed ana SWOTo uIueT Odtu lHdl
the canine in court was not the said
animal at all. And the court had to
decide whether this was the dog or
whether it was some other dog.
Four witnesses appeared who had
journeyed all the way from ST. Helens
to testify in this case, two Of whom
easily recognized the implicated dog,
the remaining two swearing positively
that it was not the dog. And still
Justice Shreve was as much at sea
as ever and still had the mOmentous
question before him yet to be solved
Was it the dog?
At last the 1O-year-old witness took
the stand He swore that many time
in his childhood days had he played
with the dog in question, which now
had become an imaginary dog, and he
remembered that the dog had a toe

In these days OF irenzied legis-
lation and advocacy Of govern
ment control as o panacea for ell
the ills Of our social system, 1t is
refreshing to hear from 60 distin-
guished q lawyer as George r.
Peck rational and scholarly pro.
nest against the disease Of too
much legislation.
Mr.. Peck's address Was deliv-
cred before the annual meeting Of
the American Bar Association
ut St. Paul; and while the remarks
were made chiefly for the benefit
Of the legal profession, the lay
mind will appreciate the position
assn med by Mr.. Peck and recOg
nize the truth Of his premises.
Is there danger to the indiviAu.
ala in the enactment Of too many
laws9
The tendency of our times, as
pointed out by Mr.. Peck, is the
piling up Of laws which are mere
or less irritating, and resulting in
the shrinkage OF individual liberty.
The last congress went farther
than any OF it's predecessors in the
passage OF measures tending to pa
ternalism.
That some OF these laws are wise
and necessary there is no doubt.
On the other hand, the lust Of pow
er and personal ambition have in
duenced legislation, both national
and state, to the prejudice Of pub
lie welfare.
eve al know" said Mr.. Peck,
"that very large number OF stat
utes are enacted for no reason
whatever except to crafty the am
bition OF some legislator to have
his name attached to some law.
Every act passed adds more or less
to the individual 'shrinkage' OF

vantage to organized society; and
undoubtedly the citizen gets the
worst OF it whenever this hap.
pens"
1t is seriously problematical
where this tendency OF our law
makers to everactivity is to end.
That new laws are needed to meet
new conditions can not be ques-
toned. We cannot live today I'm
der the simple regulations that
sufficed for our ancestors. Eighty
millions OF people need more laws
than half that number. Yet it is
the opinion Of some thinkers that
federal control has advanced at
too rapid pace. Individual lib.
erty has been curtailed and indi
vidual interests have been ham.
pered by too much legislation.
Perhaps the reaction has been
heraIded by Mr.. Peck. At any
rate, it is food for profound consid.
GRAFTON that the most distinguish.
ed members Of the American bar
are contemplating the injury that
may result to the social system by
the enactment OF too many laws,
