The Last Word

Another indication of the superiority of the white race over the black is seen in the way each, in it's respective ele- ment, dresses it's children for school. We have occasion frequently to drive by the local school for colored children, and have been particularly impressed with the neatness of the youngsters dress. But, taking stock of the aggre- gation of white children playing around their school house, we are amazed, not at unfortunates rag tagged mess, but slovenliness and carelessness. Too many boys in overalls, dirty bare feet and uncombed hair. We recognize. of course. that in choosing for our com parison, we have not drawn our sample of the whites from the ultra superior stratum. That, however, would hardly be a fair comparison.

Mir. Burleson's Estate

We suppose there will be some people disposed to critcise Postmaster General Burleson for not permit ting the house organ of the Postal Telegraph company any longer be distributed to the employees of the company through the regular channels meaning through the mails. The Postal Telegraph organ has engaged criticism of the proprietor of the postoffces and it seems to that it exhibiting great deal of nerve in attempting to make of Mir. Burleson's private property in disseminating it's criticism.
 The Postal Telegraph company not know that Mr Burleson owns the postofces it may still regard hrn only a public servant, temporarily in charge of the postoffices But it ought know better and it is its fault if it does not
 There a time when the postoffice was public institution and when the administration of the post office department public trust. But that was before the era or the epoch of MT. Burleson. The posoffces are the private property of MT Burleson Just how when he acquired them we do not know We have never heard how much he paid for them or into what fund has been placed the huge sum the United States must have received for them But they are his and if he should die. of course they would go to probate along with the rest of his estate.
 Mr Burleson understand, is looking to an n crease of his holdings He an option some months ago the Western Union Telegraph company the telephone companies and more recently the Postal He has not yet exercised these options but he is try ing them out and may decide to keep them for him. self, his heirs and assigns forever
 All this has strangely come about the while MT Burleson painting the beauties of government ownership That was shrewd on his part it diverted attention from the fact that he was converting the postoffices into private ownership. But anyway that is where they is his right and privilege to do with them he pleases It does not please Mr Bureson to have them used by vicious persons for his own annoyance. If owned the postoffices as MT Burleson does would see whether they were trespassed upon in this way or not
 We certainly would not stand it to be kicked around by mules. That MT Burleson wil, not only shows that he is a gentleman of spirit dis posed to stand on his property rights

Mr.. Gladstone has written a

'Montegro has every claim. if
not to absolute independence, at
least to independence federated. l
shall be extremely sorry if the old
monarchy is repudiated by the
people. Montenegro has been re-
peatedly classed by our government
with Belgium and Serbia and the
idea that she should be submerged
in Serbia and lose her historic in
dividuality is utterly repugnant to
me"

S|lVERlY MAKES
RECORD TRIP TO
KOYUKUK CAMP

In a letter to Frank Knight, of
this city, from W D. English, of
the n. C. store at BEETLES, under
date of April 4, and received here
on the last mail, news of the safe
arrival at the far northern camp
of W. L. Siverly is contained.
Bill Siverly, as he is more famil-
iarly known, left Nenana on the
night of March 26, intending to
make a quick run to his camp, and
in view of the fact that the trails
were breaking rapidly, he travelled
at night so that he could take full
advantage of frost conditions. He
arrived at BEETLES April 2.
Mr.. English says:
Nv. L. Siverly made the run from
Nenana to BEETLES in six and one
half days, thereby establishing a
new record which looks to me as
if it might stand for some time.
Slb was not all in either when he
arrived here, but his dogs and sled
showed that he had been going
some. He only stopped in town one
night. leaving in the morning as
a first class passenger, with David
Tobuk at the handle bars. Nenana
must be a great place, and Sib told
me all about our friends there"
Mr.. Siverly is engaged in mining
in the neighborhood of Coldfoot.
which is nearly at the 68th parallel
of latitude. and away north of the
Arctic Circle.
The Nenana News reaches BEETLES
occasionally, and Mr. Siverly took
some of the late March issues with
him, which he passed around at
BEETLES, where he also related his
of Nenana. That Mr.
English is favorably impressed with
the town and its future is evidenced
in his remarks regarding it in the .
letter. He says in part:
From what little have read, and
sizing the possibilities up for this
great territory of ours, you are right
in the midst of the future pros
perity of this country. That is, the
real big things will be pulled off
along the line of the railroad, and |
sincerely trust many of the old
timers in Alaska will prosper in the
changes that are bound to come"
At date of writing april ~ sew
eral men of the Koyukuk had left
that camp, headed for Nenana, and
they will probably locate here per-
working on the railroad
in the summer, if possible, and pros
pecting, as customary, in the winter.

OBJECT
TO NIGHT WORK.;
REFORM WANTED

CHICAGO.-The baking industry
in America may be completely
revolutionized if organized labor
carries out its demands for aboli-
ton of night work, according to
leading master bakers.
The national headquarters here
of the Bakers and Confectionery
Workers international Union of
America has sent an address TO
every local in the country urging
that formal demand for abolition
of work between II p. m. and 5
a. m. be made when wage scales
for the year are presented to en-
ployers on May /.
Each local will be permitted to
take such steps as it seems neces-
sary to enforce the demands.
In vigorously opposing the de-
mands, master bakers assert that IS
per cent of bakery goods is pro-
duced after midnight, that the pub
lie demands fresh bread each morn
ing, and that the change would
greatly reduce output or necessitate
costly expansion of plants and ma
chinery. In either case. they say,
the cost of the 100000 loaves of
bread produced daily in Chicago
would be increased to the consumer
and that other cities probably would
follow the same course.
To this the union executive board
replies that similar objections were
advanced years ago when legislation
was sought abolishing cellar bak-
cries.
Employees thought they could
not do without the dirty under
ground bakeries. but now they
would not think of returning to
such conditions, said A. A. Myrup,
treasurer of the union. I'VE ask
abolition of night work as a mat
ter of health and justice to our
10000 workers. The change is also
in the interest of public health.
In large cities 20 to SO per cent
of the population uses bakery bread.
Doctors say prevalence of tuber-
culosis and nervous diseases among
our craft is due in large measure
to night work in high temperatures.
Most accidents also occur at night
when the workers are drowsy.
"Night work is prohibited in bak-
cries of Italy, Sweden, England and
other European countries. We ap-
preciate the Importance of the
change and are willing that it be
adopted gradually until night work
is entirely eliminated But work
ers will insist that the demand be
granted. They consider this issue
more important than higher wages
or shorter hours at present"
Union executives say night work
was discontinued in San Francisco
bakeries year and a half ago
and that the plan since has been
adopted by thirty smaller cities.
The controversy over night work
was started twenty-five years ago,
they declare.
