.SQuAW CHASERS
 AT kETCH|kAN
Gilbert Mann, of the "First City," Pays His Respect to Them in
 an Arcticle in Daily Mail.

Some one in Ketchikan took Gilbert Mann, of that city, to task for object ing to the sport fthe libertines of the southern city who insult the young native girls. It was asserted that the young men are being led on by the native girls. but Mann objects, and says:
 Tt is pitiful tale he tells of young libertines of 20 to 30 years falling victims to the wiles of crafty l squaws of f3 to IA summers. It is the saddest tale of betrayed innocence I have ever read since Potiphar's wife tried to destroy Joseph, as we read in Genesis xxx.
 Tt is moving tale, but unfortun ately it is far from the truth.
 The pitiless truth is that no white man, young or old, ever fell victim to the wiles of sQuaw unless he had first tried to hunt her to her shame, "The bunch of young wastrels who haunt the skating rink at night and insult every decent native girl would be disgrace to the 'Barbary Coast If tue marshal were furnished a good oak barrel staye and told to use it on every white skunk he finds jogging the footsteps of the native girls. it would be a good thing for the community.
 "A man who would insult white girl as the native girls are insulted every day would be filled so full Of buckshot that he would not float in brine
 "As to intermarriage, see little difference in the children of mixed marriages and the whites.
 Where the father is worthless profligate and stewbum his children are apt to be worthless, whether the mother is red or white.
 Where the father is gentleman he has little cause to be ashamed of his children if their mother is red.
 Where the white mans object is betrayal and not marriage he should be handed the same penalty as the white slayer.
 We are told that God made the crow. the buzzard and the skunk but if he made the brand of white leper known as squaw-chaser he certain ly made |: big mistake"
