Dear Sir
Do you not think a little foot note
explaining the error Of the Porto 'Rlc3
rProgress'' ia mixing up TortoIa and
St. Thomas regarding the legal execu,
tions of the Dawson Brothers, would
have been appropriate?
SO much nonsense is published by lg-,
norant SO called" American papers and
citizens about our former laws and ad-
ministration, that | think some notice
should be taken.
Yours truly
AMERICAN CITIZEN.
The error on the part of the Porto Rico
Progress is possibly due to the accounts
which appeared in the st. Thomas pa
pers concerning this murder and exc
oution in Torsola. At first We suppos-
ed that there might be a parish in Tor
lola named St. Thomas, but this is found
not to be the case. ED. ST. CROIX AVIS.

WHEN DUTY CALLS

When the influenza epidemic was at it's height among the aborigines of Alaska, and in some regions entire populations were i'll or dying, the gun boat Vicksburg chanced to be sta toned in Alaskan waters. What was done is told with extreme brevity in the report of the surgeon-general of the navy for the last fiscal year:
 Tt was apparent that if the exter- imitation of the natives was to be pre- vented, the ship must not only feed them and extend medical treatment, but sufficient men must be landed from the ship to nurse ,ne entire population. Volunteers were called for and out of practically the entire ships company that volunteered, four teen were accepted. They prepared food, buried the dead and improved the sanitary conditions"
 There is nothing, we believe, in the terms of enlistment in the navy that calls for nursing Eskimos in Akutan or Ugashik (where this in. cident occurred) or elsewhere. Pre- sumably the boys who took service under the flag were lured, more or less, by gaudy posters extending to them an invitation to "see the world at the expense of Uncle Sam" Yet when the call came romance and ad. venture were forgotten, and "practi- cally the entire ships company" saw duty only, though duty took the un. lovely shape of ministration to the lowliest possible of human beings amid indescribable squalor and filth.
 It was no mean sacrifice, when one stops to think about it. Yet the glory of it is that in all probability no man who volunteered, and none who served, thought he was doing a big thing. No medals were awarded, the men were not even mentioned by name and the portentous fact is di~. missed with less than one hundred words in the official report. land Oregonian.

WANT FEDERAL CONTROL OVER
 EASTERN FISH

NEWARK, N. J., Jan. z (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-A movement has been started in New Jersey to save from eXtermination the migratory fish which spawn in one place and move along the Atlantic coast with the changing of the seasons-such as mackerel, menhaden, herring and numerous other varieties peculiar to certain localities on this coast. Ex- perienced fishermen declare that the supply of these migratory fish has been seriously depleted by the pollu- tion of the areas in which they spawn and by the reckless manner in which they have been caught in nets.
 The method proposed by the New Jersey Fish and Game Conservation league to prevent from extermina- tion is to induce the United States government to take control of and regulate the catching of these fish and stop pollution of the spawning areas. It is contended that only in this way can the increasing cost of fish food to the consumer be checked or reduced
 Efforts to cope with the problem through state regulation here have failed utterly, the last straw being the complete breakdown of the state board of fisheries, which had been created by legislative enactment with a view to increasing the supply of food fishes and reducing the cost to the consumer. The five members of the board resigned in a body in July, 1919, and there have been no reap pOintments.
 Investigation by committee of vet eran coast men disclosed an eually deplorable condition, it is said. in other seaboard states. It was learned also that fisheries officials of Con- necticut and Maryland agreed with those of New Jersey that a federal law was the only remedy.

in few days to be in close associa- tion and consultation with the most radical leaders of the great strike of that city during the early sprong of 1919.
 Some of the teachers of the bureau, it is true, have been of the highest character and quite competent, but from the selection of the others, it may be said that it was not due to perception on the part of the bureau officials that they were chosen; rath- CT, by accident
 Last year, as an illustration of the incompetence of the bureau, may be pointed out a case not far from Ket- chikan. At Hydaburg a teacher was in charge who had hobby for print ing. He got in small outfit and started to teach the native what any devil in a printshop learns within a month. The students went about their work the whole year,. or possibly for two years, learned how to throw to- gether a few sticks full of type and they got out small publication.
 This year the teacher in charge has no hobby for printing and therefore the printing plant is abandoned, and actually for sale. The hours and hours spent by the natives on their work were thrown away and they probably will never have another opportunity to make use of what little they did learn.
 Each teacher is evidently permitted to gratify his whims or hobbies. No system. No anything. The Curry de- velopment board, if it ever becomes operative, can do no better than turn the management of these schools over to the territory giving Alaska the same amount of money that is now be- ing expended annually by the bureau. -Ketchikan Chronicle.

THE BUREAU OF EDUCATION

Recently, at the convention Of tue convention of the Alaska Native Bro. therhOod, resolutions were drawn up demanding that the government schools for natives be placed under the jurisdiction of the territory, to be handled in conjunction with white schools. Charges of inefficiency and mismanagement were made. And a close observation by any citizen will disclose state of affairs which give just cause for the complaint.
 During a period of years in Alaska It has been our privilege to meet but four men engaged as teachers in the work of the bureau of education. If these four were any sample of all the rest, or if their selection for the work was any indication of the capacity of the bureau for getting teachers, they may be said definitely to be unfit for the work
 AS to the four teachers, one of them worked his way through school by stump speeding, making talks of the variety bordering on the red; the sec. ond was an out-and-out radical and believer in the Soviet government of Russia, made no bones of his attitude on the subject; a third was a weak, ling mentally, with radical tenden, aies; the fourth, after leaving the bu. feau's work and starting for com. pany in Seattle was discovered with.

THE NORTH DAKOTA FAILURES

A discussion of the current banking situation in North Dakota calls for considerate treatment. It is easy enough to brand the upwards of twen- ty-five bank failures in that state as but the obvious consequences of non partisan tinkering. Insofar as the league had any hand in encouraging it's member-farmers to hold their grain for higher prices, thereby preventing liquidation of bank loans, it is clearly reprehensible. But there is a more serious indictment against it. Four years ago, when the non-partisan league obtained control of affairs in North Dakota, it secured the enact ment, among other measures, of one providing that all public funds of the state, counties, municipalities, school districts, etc, must be deposited in the Bank of North Dakota" non partisan creation. Of these funds, several millions were invested in long, time real estate loans, state-oWned mill and elevators, a creamery and in a state-oWned home-building associa tion, through failure of the non-parti. san pilots of the state to market a $15,000,000 bond issue, provided for that purpose. Before this time these public funds had been deposited in the local banks, and constituted a needed these institutions in assisting the growing, harvesting and marketing of the locality's grain crop. It is clear therefore, that the diversion of these funds into permanent investment channels, because of the states going into business, caused a drastic cur tailment in local banking power.
 In another way-1more arbitrary and encertain-were the local banks ham, pered in financing the huge crops. The law permitted the Bank of North Dakota to redeposit these public ~funds In local institutions. This it did, using it's own judgment as to To- cality and amount, the larger amounts going to the more drought-stricken areas, where many renewals were ne- cessary, with the result that the total going to the sections with more boun- teous crops was correspondingly re- duced
 November's election revoked the Bank of North Dakota's exclusive monopoly on public funds, the old cus- tom being again instituted But it will not be a simple matter to restore banking conditions existing prior to this four-year disarrangement of credit funds, however unsound the latter may have been.
