THE BLOND ESKIMoS.

Are there any such beings as blond
Eskimos? If so. did Stefansson dis
cover them? These are questions pro-
pounded by the A,-Y.-P. Review of
Seattle. and enlarged upon by them
with many expressions of doubt.
If we are to believe the word of
missionaries, r. y. w. Mounted POI
lice and Hudson's Bay company men
on the lower Mckenzie, the fair-hair-
ed Eskimos do exist in the region
Of Banks Land and on the coast of
Coronation Gulf However. these
same men deny that Stefansson was
first to discover them, claiming that
missionaries have known of their
whereabouts for twenty years and
within recent years have visited them
once
1t is not claimed that the Eskimos
are pure peroxide blends. 1t is mere
" claimed that they are fair in com
carlson to the average Eskimos who
inhabit the north shore. and that they
are certainly the descendants either
Of lost Arctic explorers or Scandna-
VANS who have wandered in their
boats beyond the point of returnin;
and have settled and mixed with ma
ives. Sir John Frankln's men and
men who went in search of Franklin
remain unaccounted for. It is rea-
sonable to suppose that these Eski-
mos may be descendants of white men
and native women.
Also, the Arctic coast is long,
much of 1T has never been explored
Mt all. and the man who says he
knows that blond Eskimos do not
exist in the Arctic because he has
lived there and did not see any of
them, is saying a great deal. For it
Scandinavians may have found their
way into this region, even as Lief
coast in the year 1000. These Scandin-
avians may even have brought their
lagos of pure blends dwelling on the
indented shores and islands of the
Arctic for all any one knows.
However, it is known that very light
complexioned tribes do have their
homes on Banks Land, and that up to
within three years ago these people
had never seen fire produced by
means of match. Stefansson is
lutte naturally trying to obtain all
the notoriety possible out of the ex~
petition, but the story about blonl
F,skimos in the Arctic who have nev-
er until recently seen a white man,
is not a faxed account, because it is
too strongly corroborated from 9TH
er sources.
The scientific value of Stefanssons
expedition might be open to doubt,
but it is hasty to intimate that he
may be guilty of wholesale fraud.
Cook has been the means of directing
suspicion to all explorers, yet it is
difficult to see wherein Stefansson is
likely to dupe the world, prepared as
he is to photograph these people,
bring some of them out with him, or
in other ways produce convincing
proof of his claims.

AL. JENNINGS-EX-B

If AL Jennings receives the nomi-
nation for governor of Oklahoma and
is elected, it will be the first time
that real outlaw has been allowed
to rise to a position of such promi-
nence and public trust in the United
States.
For AL Jennings was once
thoroughbred outlaw Not more than
eeVenteen years ago he ranged the
Indian territory, or what is now Ok
lahoma. wild, daredevil marauder
The story of his life is told by him
self in the late numbers of the Satur-
day Evening Post. His exploits. final
capture, Imprisonment, his efforts and
'uccess at reformation, are all told
with convincing candor.
Jennings is now candidate for the
country over which he and his band
spurred their horses in flight from
''-''' ''''''''''
credit upon the family name in his
young days. he now seeks to robe
Il with honor
And why not? Why should he not
be considered eligible to the COVER
nor's chair? Why should ex-convicts
be barred from everything but the
pulpit? Why should society set any
limits to the ambition of a man who
has proven his reformation?
Jennings has all the reasons in the
world for wanting to make good
We're he elected. He would be CON
scious that the eyes of the nation
were upon him, and that the hopes
of thousands of eX-convicts for hon
cradle place in society rested on the
success he made of establishing con
tidence in men who had been like
the opportunity to forever break down
the barrier which has long stood be
tween released prisoners and full
citizenship.
Also, he is capable, For years he
has been practicing attorney in
Oklahoma. His father before him
was for years Judge of county in
Texas, his brothers are lawyers
his is family of legal minds, old
and respected throughout the South.
OF course, the political prude Isl
busy reminding people of Jennings
outlaw days. The political prude is
too shriveled to see that the eXaltation
of Jennings to the highest honors
in the State would be one of the
greatest incentives possible to refor-
nation The instance of one man
rising from the social mire to the
governors chair would do more to
make bad men better than all the So
phistry of all the political prudes
There is little doubt that Jennings
would make an excellent governor
He is noted for honesty. his bravery
is unquestioned and his purpose in
seeking the office is that of restitution
to society by serving the common
wealth he once openly defed.
