Ignorance Main Defect.

But whatever it is that is wrong
with most of them, it is not inheren:
ia their minds 1t is not insanity
it is merely ignorance. The House
of David may have more than its
just share of lunacy and crookedneSs
but the fundamental trouble is that
il is choked with illiteracy. o.
course, most people will immediately
iump to the conclusion that the place
must therefore be made up Of for
eigners and, judging by the names
of some of the members. that conclu
sion would seem to be correct. There
are members there named Bauschke
Pcrrenoud, Schuhknecht, Muskln
Malinovich, Selleck. Saretzky
Doschek and Pulaski Drak!
And, Judged by facial traits, every
people on the continent of Europe
with the complete exception or the
Jews-is represented there. But the
vast majority, find, are Americans
by birth and training, and OF the
foreign born, Australia and England
have sent the most. So let it not be
imagined for a moment that this
center of ignorance is populated by
people of inferior" races. There
are descendants of Daniel Boone at
the colony, and people named Lynch.
Moore, Hayes, Robertson, Galloway,
Wilson, Jones. Wesley and Price
Recruits Mostly From South.
No, the explanation is not to be
found in the ignorance bred In
foreign lands but in the ignorance
fostering in these United States. Re.
cruits to the colony were won by
preaching missionaries who went
out regularly to every corner OF the
land and distributed literature and
talked to prospective converts.
myself at different times heard these
missionaries out in Portland. Oregon,
Los Angeles. Calf, and New Or
leans, La. But of all the converts
thus gained, few If any were city
bred. With very few exceptions
they were from the villages and re-
mote farms, and especially from the
villages and farms of the South.
Here are the birth places of a few OF
those young "Israelities" who were
tied together in the last group

Leaders Dangerously Clever.


On the other hand, there are a few
distinctly superior minds. -Benja-
min Purnell, Francis Thorps. Broth
er Tucker, Queen Mary and certain
other of the leaders are of marked
intelligence. They are shreWd an
quick and plainly insincere; though
they are poorly educated ana not at
all intellectual, they are dangerously
smart and clever.
And somewhere between these dis
tinctly subnormal and super-normal
minds are to be found the majority
of the members Of the colony.
Strange as it may sound, the major
ity are not feeble-minded folks. They
are just ordinary people, skillful at
their trades and hard workers, and
perhaps at the bottom fringe of nor.
malcy. They have built almost ev.

"in spite of all that has been said on the subject, how automobile own CTS are generally ignorant of the dangers of this gas.
 Steel and iron workers know it's properties and avoid inhaling it as they would avoid drinking a deadly poison, yet the motorist thinks of it only as an ordinary gas.

HOOP MEN WILL
 LAUNCH SERIES
 IN SHORT TIME
Basketball Activities Begin Wrangell Disputes Doug
 las Title Claims.

Increased activity in local basket ball athletics is indicated by an nouncements of games scheduled for the near future which were made today. Three games are already ar ranged between Juneau High School and teams on the Channel, two of them to be played on local floors and one in Douglas.
 The local school five meets the evening, the game probably to be played in the school gymnasium. Friday of next week will see the High School boys matched with the Juneau City five and the week fol- lowing it will open it's annual series ent champions of Southeastern Al aska schools.
 The local team has high hopes of making clean sweep in the Doug las series and is working hard to accomplish that. It showed up well last night and will meet that team in practice scrimmage twice week from now until the end of the season. On the face of comparative scores against teams which both schools have played this year, the squads and close and exciting series is an ticipated.
 Douglas Title Questioned
 As result of the mid-winter hoop games staged at Wrangell during the late holiday season, the right of the school championship is challenged by the Wrangell school, and pretty much by all of Wrangel. Wrangell con tends that the tournament, which was won by it's team, was held for the purpose of settling the cham cup that was awarded to Douglas at the Southeastern Alaska Interschool Meet held here last May. It is claimed by the Wrangell fans that a committee representing the five schools taking part in the meet last stni d5ittu lO lub Ddo- ketball tournament from the meet this year and hold it at Wrangell during the holidays. Both Ketchikan and Douglas dispute this view and say that the final tournament to de- eide the championship will be held when the annual meet is held here, probably next April. The entire mat ter was referred to l.. D. Henderson, Territorial Commissioner of Educa. tion, just before the close of the Wrangell tournament for a decision. MT. Henderson sided with Ketchikan and Douglas, saying it is his per- sonal opinion that the title remains with the Douglas team until after the next meet, when it will be played for.
