BE HONEST ABOUT CHARGES
AN OPEN LETTER TO
 EDITOR E. s. LESSEN
 OF SEWARD GATEWAY
Dear Sir;

am forced to notice your editorial of August 18th be- cause of the personal attack which you have made upon me. am of course the butt of similar attacks by Troy and Morrissey, but since I know these men personally and know that in their private lives they continually violate the Con- stitution of the United States and use their entire influence to support the lawless for pol itlcal reasons, l can understand the malice that actuates them. But in your case, it is quite different.
 You and I are unacquainted. We have never met ore xchang- ed a single word. You know nothing of what I am trying to do except from personal and political enemies. You do not know anything about the condi- tions which I have tried to correct. You know absolutely nothing about the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD, the organization which you malign. And for you to take public position about me or that organization, all in the interest of truth, as you pro- claim, is amazing.
 l am not quarrelling with you about supporting Tom Marquam. Every man for his own country" according to the old saying. What I would like to learn however is the facts on which you proclaim editori- ally that I, or any other officer of the Alaska Native Brother hood, am interruptions, or that l would destroy any industry in Alaska, or that I have herd ed Indian votes, or that we have taken over the city of Sitka and are threatening to take over other towns.
 believe that you have been badly misled, and beg to ask your candid answer to a num- Der of questions.
 In presenting your views of issues" you have a duty to be candid, honest and straight forward.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-09-15

First Issue by the Gateway
 Shall Alaska be represented in Congress, by a man who PURPOSELY retards the ter ritory's development"
 l have read your several pol itical editorials, and MO- WHERE do you state a single fact or reason on which the above statement has been sus- tained. You understand that your mere statement is not proof, and unless you can pre- sent facts on which the fore going statement can be justi- fled, you must withdraw the statement.
 The situation as to your first issue is simply this, EITHER PRESENT FACTS AND REA- SONS which will show that Sutherland has PURPOSELY retarded the territory's develop ment, or you convict yourself of slender and insincerity.
 Gateway's Second Issue
 Sutherland "has aligned him self with the forces of destruc- tion in the territory"
 In a court of justice, we would move for "bill of particulars. You would then be compelled to show and name the forces of destruction" and of what the "destruction" con- sisted.
 Will you decline or evade the issue? Name the forces of destruction" and tell your readers of what the "destruc- tion consists" or confess that your statements are not sup ported by facts.
 GateWay's Third Issue
 Sutherland believes in gang voting by illiterates, herded by Indian bosses"

BANK BUILDING
A MONUMENT
By RICHARD HATTON

Financial WaShtngtOn is to be
congratulated upon the completion
and opening for public inspection
of the new Federal American Bank
Building, at the corner of Four
teenth and. q Streets, last night.
Few cities in the United States
can boast- Of finer banking insti-
tutions than those of the National
Capital and the, new Federal-Amer-
lean building is a distinct and out
standing monument, not only to the
gressive spirit which pervades the
entire banking fabric of the city.
It Is another and conspicuous mile
stone in the steady financial
progress of Washington and an
omen OF that expanding financial
future which Is assured by the
rapid development of the city
wherein the Government of the
United States has its seat.
In throwing open the new bank
ing offices for inspection last night
and during the remainder OF the
week the officers of the Federal
American did a graceful act Wnlch
Il appreciated by the many bank
officials, depositors and friends
who ayaiIed themselves of the op.
portunity to view the last word in
bank architecture and the most
modern Developments in bank tit
fings and arrangements. A tech
nical description of the new quar-
tiers has already been printed, but
It would require an artist TO 90
justice to the decorative features
that have been woven into the
sturdy business construction OF the
main banking room and auxiliary
spaces.
Visitors Are Charmed
Visitors last night upon ascending
the broad steps leading from the
street entrance to the main bank
ing room were at once struck by
the suggestion Of strength conveyed
by the spacious. high-ceilinge BANK
ing room with its overhanging
balcony OF hand-carved Italian wal.
nut and its artistically designed
customer desks Somehow the
absence Of the usual cages ana
griIlwork suggested that 1t Is pos
sibIe to eliminate the austerity and
coldness that is so often associated
with banks. Certainly the arrange
ment adopted by the Federal-Amer-
lean in regard to its desks and
counters will tend to bring the
customer and the bank official into
q more intimate and cordial rela-
tionship, and that is one Of the
things that the modern banker
everywhere is striving for today.
The decorative scheme Of the
Interior of the bank is one In which
the general tones are In soft and

Registration is the most important
existing safeguard against Illegal
voting. The test Of the value of any
particular registration system is,
it's effectiveness in prevent
ing election frauds.
In the days when large cities were
few in number and when everyone
was acquainted with nearly everyone
else. the machinery for preventing
illegal voting was very simple indeed
The prospective voter merely appear
ed at the polling place on election day
and, unless challenged, voted.
AS one would naturally expect, even
in the small rural communities such
system was open to grave abuses
and in the large cities it offered no
protection against illegal voting on u
large scale. Corruption and frauds
became so frequent that state govern
ments were forced to search for a
remedy, and thus began the custom
of preparing lists of qualified voters
previous to election day
In the early stages such lists were
made up by some of the local Off
cials While this plan was an i'm
provement over the former, one, 1T
broke down hopelessly under the as
saults of 'colonists," ''repeaters" and
election criminals generally.
The earliest registration law was
passed in Massachusetts in 1900. 1t
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-08-15

provided for a correct ana alphabetical
list of all qualified voters, made up
annually by the assessors in each
town and revised by the selectmen.
Several other New England states pat
termed after the Massachusetts one.
but few states outside of New Eng
land had registration laws before tin
middle of the nineteenth century
Most of the early laws applied only
to the large cities.
The first state wide laws requiring
personal registration were passed in
California and New York in 1886, and
this example was followed by other
states until at the present time such
laws are in force in forty states. The
laws vary from state to state, but with
few exceptions, they have the COM
mon requirement that the voter APP
pear in person before election day and
prove his legal qualification tonvote.
In half of the states registration is
periodic in character, the intervals be-
ing of different lengths. In many
states registration takes place annu-
ally; in others, before each general
election; in the years offs the. presiden-
tial election, every six years, or, in
one state, every ten years. Nearly
one-third of the states have a system
of permanent registration. The name
of a voter once registered remains or

LEWIS DOUGLAS
SPEAKS BEFORE
ALARCE CROWD

Before an audience which filled the
Majestic theatre Saturday night, Lewis
w. Douglas, democratic candidate for
representative in congress, spoke con-
vincingly regarding his stand on the
Colorado river and other important,
issues.
Amonk the subjects dwelt upon by
the candidate was the matter of the
many government commissions with
which state rights have become in
volyed Douglas declared that there
were far too many such commissions
and that the rights of t>e individual
states were being jeopardized
Douglas favors development of the
upper end of the river first, and favors
taxation of power from the Colorado
to replace the revenue derived from
mine taxation when the mines shall
have been depleted.
