Romance Explains Spelling
Of MacNider Family Name

MASON CITY, Ia, Feb. A ro-
nance in Scotland, which dates sew
eral generations back, answers the
question as to why Hanford MacNid-
er, former commander Of the Ameri-
can Legion and now assistant secre-
tary of war. spells his name diff
ferent from his father, c. II. Nc
Nider, prominent Iowa banker.
When Thomas Duncan MacNider,
Hanford's great grandfather, follow
ed the dictates of his own heart and
married the village lass he loved in
stead of the girl his parents had
selected for him, he was disinherited.
Leaving the parental home on the
rocky shores of the Isle of Skye off
The Alaska daily empire., 1926-02-04

the northwest coast of Scotland, he
came to Canada penniless, deciding
to get away from the original name
by calling himself McNider. His son
Thomas Byron also took this name.
Both father and son set out to carve
a place for themselves in the new
world and wanted to forget the old.
Neither Thomas Duncan McNider nor
his son mentioned the change in
name, so far as can be learned, and
it was not until G. II. McNider be-
gan an investigation of the family
tree that the facts were brought out.
Hanford was a small boy at the time
the investigation was made, but he
started spelling his name MacNider
and has been doing so ever since.

Criticism Made By DR.. Wilson
of Alaskams Is Answered Bv
Territorial and City Heads

Territorial and City officials, min
listers OF Juneau churches and school
authorities today came to the de-
fense of the good name of the Ter
ritory and the community from an
attack made yesterday by Dr.. Clar
ence True Wilson, corresponding
secretary of the Board of Temper
ance, Prohibition and Public Nor
ais of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in a statement before the
Senate Judiciary Su b Committee.
Some of these statements were sent
voluntarily to The Empire while the
others were made gladly at The En-
pires suggestion.
Unanimity of Opinion.
Those quoted, with but a single
exception, agree that conditions in
Alaska as whole compare favor
ably with those elsewhere in the
nation and that the moral tone of
the Territory is as high or higher
than the average for the country.
The one exception was the Rev.
Cooper, pastor of the local Metho-
dist Church, who declined to COM
ment on Dr. Wilson's statement but
said he was of the opinion that
average local conditions were be-
low the average in the states.
Those who made statements were
Acting Governor Karl Thiele; May
or J. J. Connors; Lester D. Hender-
son, Territorial Commissioner of
Education; Bishop Crimont, Catho-
lie Bishop of Alaska; Rev, John
Hayes, priest of the local Catholic
church; Rev. c. E. Rice, Dean of
Holy Trinity Cathedral; Rev. o. A.
Stillman, pastor of the Northern
Light Presbyterian Church; Rev
G. W. Cooper, pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and w. X.
Keller, superintendent of the Ju-
neau Public Schools
In making their statements their
attention was particularly directed
to Dr. Wilson's statement. No re-
quest was made but that each one
give his actual personal opinion
of the conditions DR.. Wilson charg-
ed to exist. The answers are given
in full, as each was necessarily
brief.
Moral and Law Abiding.
"Alaskans are a lawabiding people
whose morals are as high as is
found anywhere in the world" de-
clared Acting Gov. Thiele. comment
ing on the statement made yester-
day by Dr. Wilson before the Senate
Judiciary sub committee to the effect
that conditions in Alaska were worse
than anywhere else in the world.
81 have recently returned from a
trip covering large part of the

law than is true of the average com

personal knowledge that DR.. Wilson's
attack on the good name of Alaska
and its citizenry is absolutely I'M

of fact" Mr.. Thiele declared.
