The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15
resident Harding
 Visited in AlasRa

By telling the world often enough, the Ketchikan papers might succeed in making the people believe that the first city in Alaska visited by President Harding was Ketchikan. Let us be candid with each other and stick to the facts.
 President Harding arrived at Met lakatla, an Indian city of nearly one thousand people about six o'clock in the morning of July 7th, and stayed there attending the program and celebrations until about twelve thirty the same afternoon. During the morning, an airplane was chartered by the Ketchikan Committee and about ten o'clock it was reported that Messrs. Hickman, Carl Strong and Morrissey stopt off at the Indian city to find out what the President was doing. As he was getting along fine, they flew back to Ketchikan without handing their cards to the President.
 The honor of being the first city, municipality, town or whatever you

the party turned their steps toward the dock. Quite number of the delegates were invited to return on the transport Henderson, and again the President and cabinet members were gracious with their interviews.
 The band was an important part of the entertainment. The best part of the day was the fact that it was only at Metlalzatla and the trip to Ketchikan that first hand informa- tion was delivered to the Presidents party. At Ketchikan, the committee in charge, ably assisted by Gov. Bone, saw to it that the party heard nothing outside of what fine can- nery Carl Strong had, and heard nothing but what the committee had prepared for them. The same stunt was repeated in Wrangell and at Juneau, but by that time the pro- tests had grown so strong that the cabinet members and the President found out that their tour was being personally conducted"
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15

g.. The term "Indian possessions" is not the same as "Indian reserva- tion" and does not affect the citizen ship of one living thereon.
 3. "Indian reservations" can only be created CD by act of Congress; (2) by treaty; (3) by Executive au- thority.
 It is extremely doubtful if the court would hold that there are any wards of the United States in Alas ka with the exception of the Indians living on the Annette Islands and in respect to the Islanders, the Circuit Court of Appeals says they are wards.
 The view of several prominent at torneys is that this decision puts an end to the "literacy tests sought by different legislators unless Con- gress would change the Organic Act. This the Natives may expect certain people will try for if this territory is divided; for several well-known enemies of the Indian race are on the steering committee which is drafting the new proposed Organic Act, namely, R. E. Robertson, H. L. Faulkner, J. c. Barber, and others. It will be the same gang, cannery- men, mining men, and their attor- neys whose first purpose in dealing with problems of state is to con- trol elections for their own selfish purposes.

ident and to extend to him the hos pitality of Alaska on Aladkan soil must forever go to Herbert Murchi- son, mayor of Metlakatla. The day was beautiful. Nature outshone her. self in the splendid effulgence with which she greeted our late President. The great ship Henderson seemed to glide into the harbor, while the pop ulace gathered on the cannery dock to greet and welcome "Our Presi- dent."
 On the dock were gathered the delegates of all the Indian communi- ties. The delegation from Bayview had come 150 miles to see the Presi- dent. To this delegation were added Wrangell, Kasaan, Hydaburg, Sax man, Ketchikan; truly an impressive gathering of the Natives of Alaska.
 In a short while, the party made their way to the school building where benches and chairs had been arranged. The President took his appointed place. By his side sat Mrs. Harding and others ranged them selves in varying order of import ance.
 The chairman of the day was the Mayor himself. The program went through without hitch and was in- deed most creditable performance. The choir sang the "Hallelujah" chorus from the Messiah. The mayor made his address of welcome. Rev. Edward Marsden spoke on the needs of the Alaska Natives. John Davis spoke in his native tongue with Rev. Marsden as interpreter. Roderich Davis presented the gifts. Rev. Sam G. Davis presented the petition of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, and George B. Williams told an actual experience that illustrated the deple- tlon of the salmon perfectly.
 The President made his talk and asked the people of Metlakatla to aspire to the goal of citizenship, and assured all the people that the gov ernment would lend a sympathetic hand to assist them.
 After this program, the party broke up and went up to visit the historic Duncan church. MT. He welt, secretary of the trustees, lead the party and soon the President and his party found themselves enjoying another musical treat. Again the President spoke a few words as did the cabinet members, Messrs. Work, Hoover, Wallace, followed by others.
 The President had not planned to

Karl Thiele, it is said, also has his eye on the governors chair-pro- vided the people want him. Karl is just clever enough too that he might get the job. Who can tell? He is fine gentleman, he knows the game, and he has the chance Just now the papers say he is start ing on trip to see about roads somewhere about the Kuskokwim and the Kotzebue. The governor wants him to go. He cannot wait until the early spring because that would be too late-for the primaries. We think Karl would make a good gov ernor too. He at least would listen to you on any subject which is more than you get under the present ad- ministration. But how is Karl to explain to the people that he is for home rule and for other things we want and at the same time keep the support of the federal machine?
 From the gossip which we hear, we are satisfied that the common run of people would like to have chance to show the world that they want Judge Wickersham for gover- nor. Under the old system, back in Washington, the few people who did not want him and wanted George c. Hazlett, seemed able to convince MT. Harding that the people were for Hazlett merely because the few hol- lered together and had previously taken some voice culture and prac- ticed yelling together.
 There is no doubt that the Judge would get ninety per cent of the vote if the real Alaskans had chance to say. And why not?
