 If followed up, it will wreSt from the world the conelHslon, that natives are capable of progress in the science on government:
 The natives constitute enc third of the population Of the territ6ry and yet, they have no representative at the Capitol. Some of them pro- gressive leaders are seriously consid- erine a candidate for the next cleo ton. e,,.=
 The verdict of history, that socical progress Is never conferred upon any group in sbciety without a strussle seems to dawn upon a few thinkers among them:
 They see thatseyen white women must fight hard to be rece nized at tie polls

 Those who live on the Hyda and

 not entitled to vote under the act

 All of which is so much fabricated bunk. The nd tives in question, have long deserted the places where tribal customs prevailed The three most inn portant natives villages :Metlakatla, Hydal urg, and Klawock are all organ. ized in accordance with the home rule laws of our territory.
 The Hydah people left their old homes seven years ago and organized a new town in ordef to shake the last testiee of tribal procedHfe and to em- brace without reservation all the de- sirable habits of white men and their institutions:
 The present generation of natives has fought for years in their old ha! bitues against the backward pull and dominating weight of seniority that characterized the leadership in tribal life. Those old timers are now almost extinct. In their place has conle new forward looking and receptive mind principles of social justice.

Democrats always among the first four.
Furthermore, to prevent such grounds
of complaint in the future. it was de r.

she was rushed to the hospital.
Several hours later at the hospital

The biggest effort ever made TO liz
duce the President to dismiss an un~|
popular member Of his cabinet has just
failed. But a great change has taken
place in the personnel of the Presidents 81
advisers. Colonel House is not the im-
portant figure he was. Burleson Is def =
nitely gone. George Creel got lost in
Europe, along with many other radical
counselors. Cummings is infuential-
Hitchcock is influential. Baruch re-
mains.
In general, the more Conservative adj
visers are now favored, the group whose
influence seemed to be entirely gone
when McAdoo resigned after his advice
against the famous letter asking for
support to Democratic candidates for

rejected in favor of Burleson's advice.

It began to go after last election. 1t
was on Burleson's advice that the fa =

cratic national committee, Homer Cum :
mings, has failed to have Burleson
dropped from the Presidents cabinet.
Burlcson is to be retained, but he
ceases to be political representative of
Mr.. Wilson, and he is stripped of final
authority by the President in important
matters within his own department.
The attack upon Burleson was de-
livered when Homer Cummings and
various Democratic leaders called upon
the President a fortnight ago to tell
him of the public discontent with the
| present administration. One of the
objects of that visit was to procure
the dismissal of the postmaster general.
Virtually the whole Democratic ma .
tional committee supported the attack
upon Burleson. What amounted to
charges against him we're filed by Rufe
Hollister, of the committee But vari
Gus other Democratic leaders filed ad e
ditional memoranda to show how the
postmaster general had injured the
/ prospects of the Democratic party in
| their states.
| There were two main grounds of com
! piaint against Burleson. One was the
familiar charge that he angered the

harsh treatment of them and by his
rcactionary attitude toward labor
These charges are already familiar tc
the public. They have been repeatedly
aired in Congress.

Shawnee. on the Delaware, Aug 90.
Mayor Smith wouldn't have his
job for another term If it were handed
to him on a plate.
He said this today az hotel where
he is keeping away from the political
turmoil in Philadelphia. While the
factions are hitting each other verbally,
the Mayor is leisurely hitting the golf
balls.
He declined to say anything about
contract methods at City Hall. He re-
fused to say one word which would
throw any light on the charges of con
tract manipulation made by Director
mclaughlin, of the Department of
Supplies.
'I am Thomas B. Smith on his va
cation" said the Mayor, 'and l will
not be interviewed. / cannot UNDER
stand how any one wants my job" he
added.
The Mayor was greeted on the steps
of the inn as he returned from a motor
ride through the picturesque surround
ing country. He wore a tweed suit, a
cap rakishly on one side and smile.
which turned to a scowl when he was
met by reporter.
How do you do. / won't talk about

ter hurry or you'll miss the last train, y
said Mr.. Smith, cordially, as the re
porter started marathon conversation.
''Director MacLaughlin says that
contractors who bid too low are saved
from loss by political pull" the Mayor
was told. SIS it true?"

Mayor.
Nothing to Say
He was then told of the statement
of Director Mclaughlin that he was
ordered by Senator Ware to give a fire
hose contract to NJ. /. Crane, although
the Goodrich Company was the lowest
bidder.
Nothing to say replied the Mayor.
''Is it true that these facts were re =
ported to you?' the Mayor was asked
land you stood by Mclaughlin? He
said you did,
For moment Mr.. Smith looked as
though he intended to reply, but he
quickly recovered and again said, 81

as he removed his cap and twired il
nervously.

people all about the contract conditions
at City Hail." Mr.. Smith was in
formed. "Are you prepared to meet his
assertions?"
"Your questions are useless" said
the Mayor.
SIS it true as Director MacLaughlir
says that there have been many battles
because politicians tried to land work
for favored contractors?" was the next
question"
"Ycu better 60 home" said Mayor
Smith.

which will place the blame where it be

should vote for to get good govern
ment."

Mayor Smith made brief comment
today on the charges Of Congress
man Moore.
Mr.. Moore said the Mayor,
through his bonding company,
profited to the amount of $25, 900
on subway contracts and there
were still greater profits in sight"
At Shawnee on the Delaware the
Mayor said today:

House Not Great Man
Colonel House. as explained in this
correspondence, has largely lost the con
fidence of the President. The Texas
colonel, although the most famous, was
by no means the ablest or strongest of
the Presidents advisers. House is not
big man. He is shrcwd, active, small
man, a country politician, with an cx-
traordinary capacity to absorb the other
mans point of view aud too great n
tendency to yield to it, il the present
| judgment of Washington is just. He
was "fiXcr,' hardly an adviser at
all, but he had strong fund of common
sense and moderation, and contributed
to the Presidents compromises.
McAdoo. Baruch. Hoover. Brandcis
are all bigger and more courageous men
than the Texas colonel. Their in
clination is rather to fight than to COM
promise. The loss of McAdoo in par
ticular is especially tclt by the Presi -
, dent now. There is no one among his
present advisers so able to cope with
great crisis as the former secretary
/ of the treasury. The present secretary
of the treasury to whom, naturally, the
President turns in this emergency is n
man of much smaller stature than his
predecessor.
Attorney General Palmer is hardly a
Hoover. and Mr.. Colvcr, of the federal
trade commission, is certainly not an
other Baruch. AS to political nd
vscrs. the President IS better off. Sen
atOr Hitchcock is great improvement
upon Postmaster General Burleson, MIR,
Hitchcock has courage and independence
aud forced recognition from the Prcsi
dent by those qualities. lie has also

advisers. But the President by calling
