POURING OIL ON
 TROUBLED WATERS.

Editor Nugget: l noticed what you said recently concerning the starving condition of the natives up the coast and the remarks that followed thereon, both pro and con; also the vigorous comments by your semi-weekly con temporary.
 do not believe the kindness of MT. Ochman was misplaced and many white man, mushng Tn a famished condition. has been helped out by the kindness of the Eskimos in former days. I can likewise appreciate the position of Professor Took, who is often at hfs wits end to make the best use of the limited help for the na- puts in his hands Both he and MT Sultan were correct in the case of the woman who died in the Sinrock coun- try, and who had recently gone there from Nome where MT. Took had aided her and her family. She died of in curable illness, not of starvation how ever destitute the family may be,
 It is a perplexing question to the charitably disposed people of Nome how far to aid the natives so as not to increase the Restitution which they would relieve. As rule, to give money Is harmful rather than helpful in cases of charity, because 1t pro- motes instead of preventing, mendi- cancy. The same results would occur in the indiscrimnate giving of provl- sions and other necessities. The na- tive is not strong -charactered, and, like most indigent cases, needs wise counsel and kind encouragement to help himself, and these often involve a far greater expenditure of time and effort than giving from impulse, how ever generous the impulse may be. This was one of the leading prompt ings of the Nome Benevolent Society. recently organized-to give aid after quiet and careful investigation. There is no doubt that harm has been unin- tentionally done to the Eskimos of Nome by imprudent aid in the past.
 The no doubt well-meant suggestion that the Eskimos ought to be removed to some remote point free from the white man, where they could better provide for thmselves is impractical ble, because no such place any longer exists in Alaska. Henceforth the Es- kimo has to compete with his white neighbors for the occupancy of his na tive habitat and his hunting and fish ing grounds The Christian and manly part for the white man to enact is to get in and help the Eskimo to adjust himself to his new environments. A recent and encouraging letter from the United States Commissioner of Edu cation at Washington, D. C., conveys the intention of furthering this de- srable end in all it's essential features, as fast as circumstances will allow.
 The manly statement of Mir. Ochman in your contemporary, already referred to, implied that the Eskimo was bet ter off before the coming of the white

The voting contest winch will de- eide who shall take the Nuggets free trips to the Alaska Yukon Pacific Ex- position seems to have narrowed down to three active participants.

MAY SERVE IN
PRISON.

Benjamin J. Phillips, of Helena,
millionaire mining operator and
stockman, former member of the
Montana legislature and one Of the
best known residents of northern
Montana, was taken into custody at
Helena a few days ago to answer
to the federal Indictment hcarging
him with entering into conspiracy
with other persons whose names are
unknown to defraud the United
States of approximately $4,000 acres
of land in Choteau county. Bail was
fixed by Judge Hunt, Immediately
furnished, and Mr.. Phillips released.
In the amount of land involved
few more important indictments
have ever been returned in the
an indictment was brought against
Montana stockman, charging him
with having illegally fenced thous-
ands of acres of land, but this Phil
lips indictment looms up far bigger
than the fencing indictment referred
to, because in this case Phillips is
charged with having tried to defraud
the government of title.
The indictment returned charges
him with having entered upon a con-
spiracy with 100 other persons to
have them make, file, swear and sub
claratory statements for the entry of
desert land tracts of 800 acres each
| in the Glasgow, Great Falls, Helena
and Yellowstone land districts. The
| indictment is lengthy document,
containing several counts.

/ has successfully COPIED by competi-
ton with the loan sharks. The meth
cd adopted by Massachusetts pro-
vides that an assignment of wages
under 5000 to be valid must have the
consent of the wife, but the loan
shark has devised an ingenious plan
to evade the law. A man comes into
the loan company to borrow $40 He
executes a note for $212.25, the
1925 being 50 for making the loan
authorized by the statute, and Is
cents for interest, also a legal rate
by statute The borrower also as
signs his wages for $210, and the
amount being over 5000 does not
need the consent of his wife A check
is then drawn on bank, payable to
the order of the borrower, for $210.
The borrower, not being able conven-
iently to identify himself at the bank
at which the check is drawn, is ad-
vised to cash it through the loan
company, 5000 is Immediately de-
manded of the borrower, who only
gets $40 in hand. After just what
state New York will pattern it's anti
loan shark law remains to be seen,
but it seems certain that some action
will be taken.

TWENTY YEARS..
That is What the Jury has Assigned to
Duncan Cooper and his Son.

Col. Duncan B. Cooperand Rob
in Cooper were found guilty OF
murder in the second degree and
sentenced to twenty years in the
State penitentiary for the murder
of ex-S Senator Edw. w. Carmack.
The verdict was appealed at once.
Immediate application was
made by the Coopers' attorneys
for bail. Judge Hart said it would
be granted and fixed the amount
at $25, 900 for each. Both took
the verdict calmly. The Colonel's
two daughters, however, were
heartbroken.
Eighteen ballots were taken.
The jury first stood five for the
first degree, six for the second de-
gree and one to acquit. Matters
renamed the same until last night
wehn Juror Hyde, who voted to
acquit came over to the secondde-
gree for murder and the verdict
resulted. Under the Tennessee
law the jury fixes the penalty.
The maximum of twenty years
was decided upon.
McCarn is pleased with the YER
dict, considering it a personal vim
dicatlon. He consented to bail
until the Supreme Court passes on
the validity of the conviction.
The appeal will be on the grounds
that the court in refusing to dis
charge the jury when it reported
that it was hopelessly apart as to
the Coopers', erred.-Nashville,
