Alaska Natiue Explains
 Whot He Considers Me
 Indian Problem ofAlaska

it away from the ignorant and un. qualified white man. Out of an army of 100000 men in the United States ten percent were unable to read or write. White men with cen. turies of civilization behind them and in a country chuck full of educational facilities. Yet these white men are citizens and exercise their right of suffrage while Mir. Indian is able to through special acts of laws and then secure the same rights and privileges only after process of elimination. The proper scheme would be to close the ballot box to the ignorant regardless of racial lines and compel them to attend public school which will take them beyond the fourth grade. s
 Right now it is more important that the Indian secure the right kind of education than political re- generation or the securing of status of citizenship. by process called securing citizenship certificate" /"
 In these times of economic revolu.
 
 tons 1t is necessary that every man secure an education sufficient to sup. port himself and be producer rather than a parasite. There is nothing in the system of education presented by the Indian Bureau of Education which fits the Indian for industrial competi. tion. The curriculum as presented in their various schools has not to our observation prepared any Indian in Alaska for entrance to high school. If anything the Indian must leave school after attaining the fourth grade for the system does not carry them beyond that grade If this is true, then the quickest way to secure the solution to the Indian Problem in Alaska is to put the Indian in in- vironment which will allow of com petition with white children. Racial pride will soon put him at the head of his classes and the ambition keyed up in youth will develop with man. hood so that the problem will be no problem at all

(By Louis F. Paul, Secretary of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, an Organization of Alaska Natives.)

Wrangell, Feb. 2G.-To the Editor In our travels we were asked What is the Indian problem of which you speak?" May we have the use of your columns to elucidate?
 The problem is how to make 23,000 Indians in Alaska self-support ing, intelligent, economical and valu able citizens; secondly, to bring ab out right relations between them and tAe white citizens of Alaska.
 It seems to us that the character of the Indian is more important than his place. and the best way to SC, cure for hin, his right place, is to endov him with the right character which deserves to be recognized The men who are friendly enough to associate with him are not the best of the country, generally speaking for the better class are rather con servative about making public appear ance with just any Indian. Men associate with our young men and women under cover of darkness but in broad daylight ignore these same Indians. Is the intentions of such associations for any good? Not so far as we have been able to observe From such our young men and woni en get their, morals and education so that those white men who have a higher standard of living and nor als condemn the Indian for acquiring unmoral habits. If you wish the Tn diant rave a higher standard then eliminate the bad by filling him with good.
 4 Much is being said about his right to vote. It is more important to make him competent to exercise .the suffrage than to give the suffrage to him. Suffrage given to him while in. competent is disadvantage to him and to the community in which he lives. To give the Indian the ballot without requiring educational quail. fications is a mistake. It would be much better for all concerned if an educational qualification for the exer. else, of the franchise had been pres. cribed that would have applied fairly to both races. The Indian has no objection to any law the effect Of which is to take away the ballot from the Ignorant and unqualified provided the law insso framed ar to also take

WIRELESS TALK
IN RICHMOND SOON

With the completion of the wireless
station at the Richmond high school,
it is expected to be possible to "talk'
with the big station at Lexington. If
this is successful, it will be the first
station in the city able to communi-
cate with that city. 1t is the inten-
ton to secure the remaining required
apparatus for the station and have
the outfit adjusted and in complete
shape for operation within a short
time. There are a number of anna
teur stations about the city under
way, but it is not regarded as pos
sible that they will be able to commun
icate with any of-the-city stations.
! However, it is the intention of O. num-
Der of school students to maintain a
regular service about the city. This
project was upon the verge of com
pletion when the government required
all local stations discontinued at the
beginning of the war.
