Steamship Passenger
 DiSgusted

Passenger Traffic Manager E. G. McMicken, of the Admiral Line, re- ceived a letter recently that con- tained a real kick It was evil dently written by an Eastern gentleman who was touring the Coast, no doubt from a standpoint of business or duty-certainly not for pleasure. In part. the letter said:
 II was on one of your boats on Washington's birthday. last past, travelling from Seattle to San Fran cisco, and that evening. in the dance hall, most of the ladies appeared in ball gowns cut so low as to be dis grace, and I think it your duty to prohibit such exhibitions on your vessels. I, for one. was thoroughly disgusted.'

McMicken, Passenger Traffic Manager of The Admiral Line Fol- lowing the announcement that the President would visit the far north during the month of June, the mails have been fairly flooded with in- quiries asking for rates. literature, sailing dates, etc. This will be the first time in the history of the Uni ted States that a President has ever visited Alaska and the very fact that he is coming has, naturally, stimu- lated public interest in this the last American frontier

Discussion is Open

On motion of Mr. Shepard, author of the minority report urging pas sage Of the bill, courtesies Of the tory. IL does not disqualify Indians ing to be heard. In making his mo- tion Mir. Shepard said in part;
 This bill is aimed directly at the illiterate Indian voters Of the Terri tory. It does ont disqualify Indians who have acquired educationaltrain ing and the Territory provides am- ply through its night schools for the proper education Of those whites whom it might affect.
 T believe that the passage of such an act would be an incentive for the Indian to acquire an education in order to qualify him as voter and with the coming generations would be blessing rather than hardship.
 The committee was advised by what would term the master mind that the Indians needed only 'sympa- thetic guidance to vote intelligent ly. Previous elections have demon stratd that this sympathetic guid- ance results in the delivery whole sale of this vote to the party then in power
 T fully realize that if this bill fails to pass that any person having favored the bill will have dug his political grave, but personally, hay ing no future political aspirations, the then master mind will in no way affect me, but such influence will continue to be menace and af feet all future generations.

was not to exclude illiterate voters, but to reduce the number of voters. Results of the last Delegate election were pointed out as an illustration of his claim that Indian knew their friends and for whom they voted. If the bill is passed, he declared, Dan Sutherland will not be the next Dlegate to Congress
 Missionary Against Bill
 Rev. David Waggoner, speaking against the bill, declared that he did not believe in wholesale voting. He thought there were many Indians not qualified to vote, but he declar ed the educational test was not the one to apply. He said mary of the best thinkers among the Indians who have severed their triba! rela- tions and are living civilized lives, some of those best qualified to vote, are not able to read or write Eng fish.
 H. L. Faulkner, speaking in sup port Of the measure, declared that the right 10 vote implied the duty to vote intelligen.ly. He paid tribute to MT. Policy, who had been criti- cised for supporting the measure in face of the fact that most Of the h. dians had voted for him. He said MT. Policy was man who would not trade away his conception of his duty for Indian votes or any other votes. MT. Faulkner said that the returns showed that Indians vote solidly in a manner that plainly showed they voted as they were told to vote by coachers, for, if they were able to think intelligently of the is sues. there would be differences of opinion among them. He declared that this is a condition that does not count for the welfare of the Indians or the whites. He said the rights of the Indians were safe in Alaska, and Cited instances where white juries had proved it. He declared that the Federal government has been gener- ous in it's treatment of them, and that there is no discrimination against them by either the Federal or the Territorial. government.

Regarding the
 Literacy Bill
Juneau Empire

Supporters of the Foster Liieraey Bill for electors won preuminary skirmish in the fight to pass the measure when the House Friday morning defeated motion, by Char man Decker of the committee report ing the bill unfayorably, to postpone its consideration until April Il. By an overwhelmingly vote the motion was lost and shortly after l0:30 a. m, before a well filled gallery of spectators which included many prominent citizens, the House re- solved itself in Committee of the Whole to consider the measure.
 At noon the hearing was adjourn ed until p. ID. without any definite action being taken. Several mem- bers had spoken for the measure, and only one, Mir. Decker, had oppos- ed it. He, in his opening remarks, admitted that the princlpIe or the bill is right and that men should be able to read and write the Eng fish language before they cast bal ln

JURY DUTY FOR WOMEN

Senator Brown is determined that all the women of Alaska shall be satisfied with regard to their pro- spectiye jury duties. He has intro duced a bill which provides that women may serve as jurors but gives them the privilege to claim exemp- tion from duty on account of their sex. if they so desire.-Juneau Cap ital.

Foster Opens Argument

MT. Foster opened the argument for the bill. In 13 years residence in the Territory, he said. he had seen the illiterate Indian vote used ss a pawn in elections despite laws placed on the statute books to pre- vent it. He pointed out that the bill included all illiterates without regard for.race but admitted that its effect would be felt largely by the Indians, owing to the great per centage of illiteracy in that race. Forty-eight per cent of the popula- tion of Alaska, he said, is Indian and probably more than 70 per cent of the Indians are unable to read and write English. The bill, he pointed out, would not deprive any Indian who can do so Of the privilege of voting.
 He referred to the organization of Southeastern Alaska Indians into one body, and how it had been weld ed. If all the Indians of Alaska should be joined together in such an organization, this House would have different complexion pretty soon," he declared
 Such Indians have no idea for whom or what they are voting and the practice he denounced as being un-American. Those who oppose the literacy test idea. he added, do so for political purposes and no other. "I venture to say that he who oppos- es it has considerable influence with the Indian voter,' he declared.
 If any of the election laws passed by former Alaskan legislatures are valid, he said, the present bill, if en- acted into law, would also stand the test. |" If ever there was a righteous bill, this is one," he concluded.
 Politics Charged
 W. L. Paul, termed by MT. Shep- ard as master mind" of the Indians, Grand Secretary of the 4. N. B., the Indian organization referred to by other speakers. took the floor against the bill. He assailed by inn plication two or three members of the House and charged that the bill was introduced as political move by "certain clique" which is an- tagonistic, he alleged, to Delegate Sutherland He admitted mass voting of Indians which hesaid seem- ed to have been guided with "some intelligence"
 The purpose of the bill, he said,
