ALABAMANS VICTIMS
 OF TRAGIC ILL LUCK

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 12.- Does some bird of evil omen shadow those who are associated with the Brewer family?"
 This question has been asked many times, especially since the death of Charles Warner, we'll known planter, of Montgomery Co.,.
 Warner died of injuries received in a hay press on his plantation.
 Warner, several years ago, was alleged to have shot and killed Willis Brewer Jr., son of the late we'll known Congressman Willis Brewer. Warner was never brought to trial for the shooting, as evidence pointed to self-defense.
 Warner was fatally injured near the point where Brewer was killed.
 The late Portis McKeithan, hus- band of Mildred Russell Mckeithan' granddaughter of the late Congress- man Brewer, was killed near here seven months ago, and one Of the family, Miss Mildred Brewer, was tried for the killing and acquitted. The killing was proved to have been accidental
 Mrs. Ewing, aunt of Miss Mildred Brewer, is another victim of tragic death. She died in an automobile accident. Dr. Payne Russell, father of Mrs. Mex eithan, was shot on a passenger train near HaynesVllle, al so near the scene of the other deaths that seem to have pursued the family.
 With these incidents in view, 1t IS little wonder that the superstltlous wonder.

These Irish Samsons, it is said, invariably have hard heads and pow erful jaws. One man, with head like a battering ram, is able to butt a wall and receive the terrific i'm pact with the utmost unconcern. He will perform this feat-which would make the ordinary man shudder-half a dozen times without stopping.

LABOR SYSTEM CANNERlES TO
 BE ALTERED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12.-Walter Mathewson, State Labor Commission er has been making an investigation for some time past of the existing practices in connection with labor con- ditions in the salmon canneries of Alaska. In his annaul report, just made public, the Commissioner among other things says:
 "In order to fully realize the situa- tion, it will be necessary to explain the methods resorted to in the hiring of men to work in these canneries.
 "As a rule the company owning or operating the cannery enters into a contract with a Chinese contractor, who agrees to furnish all the help necessary to clean, pack, cook, label and box all the salmon delivered to him at a certain cannery.
 "The contractor agrees to pay the Chinese contractor a certain amount for each case of salmon packed, and guarantees a minimum number of cases. If no salmon Is packed-by reason of the failure to deliver the fish at the cannery, which may arise when the salmon are not running-the Chinese contractor receives his con tract price.
 "The Chinese contractor guarantees to deliver a certain number of men necessary to operate the cannery, and is penalized for each man he is short on the day of the sailing of the com pany's ships.
 "As soon as the Chinese contractor signs up with the company, he sub lets his contract to several other sub contractors.
 "These sub-contractors go among their own people and hire them for the season at fixed sum, this year $170, a season.
 "This sum is, as rule, the full amount that the Chinese contractor has allowed the subcontractOr, but the sub-contractor figures to make his money from the privileges of running the outfitting store and from the gam bling
 "The Chinese contractor advances S1O for each man to the sub-contractor. The. sub-contractor turns this amount over to his men, but not directly. Usually he permits them to go to some store which he selects, where they can purchase clothes, and he often pays their room and board up to the time of sailing, for it must be understood that the hiring of men goes on for months before the ship sails.
 "When the men are on board the ship, whatever is left of the advance moneys after the above deductions have been made is paid to them "The Chinese contractor furnishes the food on the voyage to and rom and during the time the men are al the cannery. This food consists of the regular Chinese fare-rice, tea, beans salt horse, potatoes and other rough food"

PLAN NEW, SCHOOL
 FUR MILE SEVEN

l Woman has achieved another tri- umph over mere man; this time out around Woodrow. There are three or 1 four families in that neighborhood with children of school age. For a l long time the men have been prom | ising to get a school established but the efforts have all begun and ended in talk. A few weeks ago the mothers interested decided to take a hand 1 themselves. ThereupOn Mrs. Bob John ston wrote Governor Bone and Super | intendent of Education Henderson pointing out, or laying down the law. A hasty answer from Juneau pledged a teacher, desks, school books, and other necessary school equipment by fast freight, if the community would provide a school building.
 Mrs. Johnstone sent the letter to all the neighbors with message that got instant action. Every man in the neighborhood pledged given amount of labor and what money he could af- ford A site has been chosen and dirt will be flying before the end of the week
 MT. La Rochelle, of the mile 3 saw mill, generously donated the lumber for the floor and roof; the Alaskan Engineering Commission promised all the help it could legally give; and number of Seward people, always friendly to the interests of children, have promised a number of things, in- cluding books, pictures, decorations, and other things necessary to increase their comfort and the attractiveness of their school building when complet- cd. Judge Curtis R. Morford accepted the invitation to act as treasurer and custodian. It is expected to finish the building by the 20th of this month.
 Meanwhile the lady chiefly respon- sible for the success in getting the school says: "Oh, it was nothing. Any woman could have accomplished the task just as well. All required was that some woman take hold and do it. a woman, mind you"

Of score of states having pres,
idential preference primary acts
South Dakota will be the first to
give expression TO the same and
already national party leaders are
showing interest in the possible
outcome. Under the terms OF the
South Dakota law the several po.
litical organizations in that state
will meet December next, make
their presidential choice, select
their delegate allotment and file
the same with the proper state
authorities, who in turn will pass
the whole thing on to the voters
for primary consideration in March
of next year. In addition any six
or more qualified voters may file a
presidential aspirant for consider
alton at the same election, which
means that the lists will be pretty
we'll cluttered when they reach the
voters. That the Republican Or
ganization choice in South Dakota
will be Coolidge seems fairly cer-
tain at this writing, but what the
voters will do at the primaries
which will follow in March is
another question. Senators Hiram
johnson, Boarah. and LaFollette
are sure 70 be entered and their
presence will undoubtedly COM
plicate matters. As to Republican
Minnesota organization sentiment
also runs to Coolidge. but it has
to be admitted that the Johnsop
and LaFollette following is by no
means a small one. In this state
party choice of a presidential can
didate and the selection of dele
gates will be made at a convention
also to be held in March and it is

little interest is being manifested

If Mr.. Drayton wanted an illus

edge of it in Alaska, the Indian
people will stand back of every
word he has said, the idea of Mr..
Zihlmau's and to that of honest
Abraham Lincoln's that bureauism
is a cancer that gnaws at the very
foundation of human rights and
human liberty. The members of
the Indian race, who were consid-
cred physical models and were in
a splendid condition to take on
civilization and citizenship, are, by
virtue of the Indian Bureau, today
considered!as outcasts, they are
Indians, curiosities, they are
considered too low to mingle with
the whites; they are represented
as lazy and good for nothing; they
are treated cold bloodedly; and
they are considered as not worthy
to be treated with equality. When.
in fact, were there not an Indian
Bureau they would have advanced
with the advancement of civiliza-
ton and today they would have
been as useful citizens of this great
nation as any other race of people.
On account of the ruinous effect
of the Indian Bureau working
under false pretentions and using
public money to enslave the In
dians, when the money does not
benefit the Indians, a few, work
ing against all odds, are trying to
have the Indian Bureau reorgan-
lied or abolished altogether, as its
sole object is to perpetuate itself
and to block any movement look
ing to the making of useful citizens
of the Indians, for if this was ever
accomplished the Indian Bureau
would have to 60 out of business.
1t is Gods decree that q man
should live by the sweat of his
brow, and not have a bureau to do
all of these things for him, and so
the Indian people of America
congratulate the Alaskans in their
protest against bureaucracy, and
we trust in Gods speed that they
may be relieved forever from its
damnable influence.

But by and by he became lonely

he formed them he breatned upon
them the breath of life and placed
them in the streams; and when
they were put in the water they
swan away, and so were the fishes

Then the Manitou went to the for

leaves which had been cast there
by the wind. These he blew into

flew, and wings and feathers came
to them and from that time on the
birds were made to live upon the

oak were the larger birds-the
eagles, and the ravens and hawks
created; and from the aspen leaves
came the red bird and the jay.
And each leaf made its own bird,

1t appears that Alaska is gov
erned by bureau in Washington,
D. 9. Even the boastful white
race, who are in control Of a bur-
eau system, are crying aloud to be
relieved from such ruinous way
of governing. The Indians of the
United States can sympathize with
the white people of Alaska, be-
cause the Indian Bureau system
has misruled the Indian people so
long that they are in the lowest
depths of degradation; they are
helpless and they die in poverty.
The environment of bureauism is
death, and not a salvation or uplift
for any race. 1t is human fad
for selfish gain to treat others as
you would not treat yourselfs.
Several years ago Congressman
Frederick N. Zihlman, of Mary
land, pointed out that in the con-
stitution there are three separate
branches of government provided
for-two of them directly respons-
ible to the people-each acting as
a check upon the other. But now
there has grown up new adjunct
to the three coordinate branches
of government. This is govern
ment by boards, by bureaus, and
by commissions. Such agencies
had no place in the original scheme
of government, nor for many
years, and we're frowned upon
until recently. Lincoln called
them schemes to defeat the Gov
ernment!"

schemes to defeat the Government
