Prejudice is hard thing to overcome,

opinion of thousands of reliable people
differs from yours, prejudice then be-

Hay Vote

Natives of Alaska who are mem- bers of the Greek Church are American citizens, according to the treaty made in the transfer of Alas ka to the United States. They may vote in elections in the terri tory of Alaska. Other natives, how ever, who have become American ized but are not members of the orthodox church, may not exercise the franchise.
 The granting of the franchise to the Russian natives, or, rather to the natives who bow in religious allegiance to the Greek pope, was brought about by clever piece of diplomacy on the part of the Rus sian officials who represented their country in the drawing up of the treaty with this government.
 Some of the natives of the ortho- dox church voted in the last dele gate election. Several hundred di1 not, but these will gradually come to realize their privilege and 1t is possible they may exercise s ome influence in the elections of t le future.
