TOTEM.
 POSTS PLACED IN ALASKA MUSEUM.
Posts of Rare Indian Carving to Guard
 Entrance

The Alaska Historical Museum has received three very rare carved totem posts used in the community houses by the natives of the Prince of Wales Island. These are the first posts to come to the Museum and are part of the exhibit that was sent to the St. Louis exposition in 1904. There are 20 piles, eight community house posts and one war canoe then collected by Gov. John G. Brady. All the totem poles, the posts and the canoe were gratuitously donated by the Hydah Indians.
 Tho three carved corner posts brought from Sitka to the Museum through the courtesy of Captain Boe- decker of the U. s. s. Unalga, rep resent the highest and most rare h. dian wood carving now in Alaska These posts are very old, but with ex- ception of one which was damaged by fire during the warehouse fire at Sitka, they are in good preservation. With little renovation and some new paint they can be brought to a condi- tion that will be a credit to the Alas ka Museum, Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff curator, said recently
 They measure 10 feet in length and three feet in width. The inside of the logs is hollowed out, leaving a shell of 10 inches in thickness. The carvings on the posts are very good, giving the folk lore of the Hydah Indians and also the story of the bear family.
 When the Museum was opened the posts, which were stored at Sitka, were to be brought over, but the cost of transportation was so great that they were allowed to stay there until an opportunity presented, Reverend Kashevaroff said The posts will be renovated and put up to the entranc" of the Museum.

ALASKA SCREEN STORY T0BEBIC
 PRODUCTION

The Alaska Moving Pictures Corpor- ation has issued the following circu- lar letter through it's president, Capt. A. E. Lathrop:
 On March 18th, the Company re- turned from Cantwell, after an ab- sence of ten days.
 Work was done on two locations at Mckinley Park and one at Cantwell, (Mile 320). Sixty-four Interior dogs were used, in teams numbering six to eighteen dogs each. Harness, equipment, etc, were of the finest kind, similar to that used on the Yukon.
 Two negatives are being made, one for American, and one for foreign rights. This was not at first contem- plated, but as our plans progress we find the feature so much bigger and broader in scope than originally ex. pected, that we feel the extra mega tive for foreign use will bring big re- turns
 Some 12,000 feet of film was shot on the northern locations, and we have just finished developing the neg ative. It has all tourned out to be WONDERFUL stuff.
 The two dog teams and the entire cast will be used in making scenes at Girdwood. These will require three or four days and will be filmed, probably, next week.
 Construction is we'll under way of interior acts, and when the Company is not working on outside locations, the interior scenes will be shot.
 The first step in the building of our feature has been accomplished with out disappointment of any kind, or delay, and we are more than satisfied with the progress made and work done to date.

DISILLUSIONED

This modern girl is one per-
sonage / simply cannot make
out. Perhaps 1 am disillusioned.
Anyway
] met the Girl of My Dreams
last summer. We fell In love at
first sight. I know that we did,
because she told me so, and 1
told her so. We saw each other
constantly, and we were con-
WINGED that our love was COM
posed of something more than
kisses and sweet nothings. 1t
was real. This time I knew I
had found me the girl I had
long wanted. She told me I was
the first man she had ever really
cared a rap for anyway. She
was convinced that I was the
Companion Superb for her. She
liked my eyes, my teeth, my
great big He-man's arms. She
loved me for my great ambi-
tons. my high ideals, my aspira-
tons to something finer than
the mere prosaic pursuits of the
Idle Rich. She loved the way 1
danced, the way 1 golfed, swan,
played tennis. was,
In short, her Ideal man. Those
few weeks we saw each other
were days of residence in Para
disc. We would not have traded
our dates for the wings of st.
Peters cronies in Heaven. I left
her with tears in her eyes. and
abe solemnly swore that she
would write to me every day,
and exacted such a promise from
me.
incidentally, in the space of
those few weeks, gave this dear
girl my diamond fraternity pin,
spent $500 for dinner parties and
country club luncheons, $500 for
gasoline, lost ten nights of sleep,
and bought, am sure, a small
interest in the Whitman candy
factory. But these things are
incidental.
Well, she wrote to me. I
learned, through her epistle, that
she had met Joe Somebody. I
was informed that he drove a
Packard. / was told that he
had dark eyes and a million dol
lars. 1 received other inteIli-
gence through her letter. I found
that / had been missed, but /
seemed so far away. I discov-
cred that it was best to have any
fratern 'ty pin back, because she
was afraid she might lose it. l
observed that she would be un-
able to come down Thanksgiv-
ing because Sweet Briar was
much nearer Washington and
Lee, and she had decided it
would be more convenient to take
in. the hops there. learned
that Joe Somebody was a stu
dent at Washington and Lee. 1
learned that it would be best for
me not to go up Christmas. I
learned that her house party,
for some reason or another, had
suddenly been called off.

WHAT'S MATTER
WITH AMERICA?
Mayor of New York Says Wealth.
Lords Dictate Destinies of People to
Serve Own Selfish Ends.
Written Specially for The Leader
By JOHN F. HYLAN, Mayor N. Y.
Autocaster Service

New York City, March Sin an
swering this question, there is no need
OF seeking refuge behind sentimental
platitudes and fine but meaningless
phrases. The trouble with America
today is: a small group of excessive
ly wealthy individuals, members OF
the Republican and Democratic parties
alike, have, thru the exercise of pow
erful, sinister, and too often, unlaw-
tul influences, usurped the govern
ment and seized its agencies on 50
vast a scale that they become the vir-
tual dictators of the destinies of our
one hundred and ten million people
II the wealth and power concen-
trated in this group of human wolves
were devoted to the betterment OF
humanity instead of increased power
and greater financial gain, the sun
would shine upon no land with more
contented body of people than these
United States of America.
But what do we find pa cruel eco
sonic seldom, a widespread exploit
tation in the necessities of life and
crushing oppression in almost
every city and State on the CONT
nent. This is the unhappy fate OF
millions who toll and labor, blood
and sweat have made possible the
enormous riches garnered by the
favored few in the fields of produc-
ton and trade.
The emans by which this system
OF tyranny, oppression and distortion
is carried on year after year is oc-
casionly disclosed in few of our
magazines and newspapers, which,
being Independent and fearless, do
not have to lawn and lick the hands
of corporation masters.
Wealth. Lords Control
Political Parties
These disclosures have made clear
that one of the ways by which the
wealth lords have been enabled to
dominate the government and ride
rough-shod over the people has been
through their control of political
parties.
Through such control the small
group of wealth lords, comprising
international bankers and money
leaders, public utility exploiters anil
tariff benehciarles, have actually
dictated the nomination of the Of
fees up to the president. They have
placed the slickest, cleverest and
most cunning manipulators in Off
cial posts |even in minor places,
where they could be off service to
the invisible government
Do not imagine that these wealth
lords are content merely to dictate
nominations. They have, without
hindrance, written the very platform
Ind pledges of political parties; and
because of substantial contribution.
to campaign chests they have arrogat-
ed to themselves the right to dictate
governmental policies of the admins
tration elected to office, regardless OF
the political complexion of such ad.
