NORTH POLEVILLE, Eskimoland,
Dec. 9.-(By Radio)-We are home
ward bound! We started today the
long trip back to Indianapolis, which
probably will take us severa months.
AS I have told you in previous
stories, we have been waiting for
almost a week now for favorable
weather conditions to permit us to
make the start. Our expedition has
been very successful. We set out to
find the home of Santa Claus and
succeeded. We wanted to take
movies Of him and he consented.
We wanted to getthese movies back
to Indianapolis for children to see
as soon as possible and that, too, was
successful.
Sorry to Leave
We are sorry, of course, to leave
this snug home of Santa Claus. He
has been SO pleasant all the while
and has shown us so much that we
have been able to tell you about. But

 ed, that was introduced at the 1927 session of the Alaska Territorial Legislature provided for control of Territorial affairs by officials to be selected by the people of Alaska.
 It was essentially a step in the advancement toward self-govern- ment It proposed to restore to the people of Alaska a voice in the ad- ministration of their government
 The fundamental right of the Alaska people to select their own administrators has been withheld from them by their legislative re- presentatives since the Organic Act was first given to them by Con- gress. At first it was a matter of expediency to place the responsi- bility for administration of Terri torial affairs with an oganization composed principally of Federal off  cials. Entering upon Territorial government it seemed to be the eX- pedient and the convenient thing to accept the services of appointed Federal officials. The Organic Acts of all the Territories contain pro- visions that are intended to keep the local government separate and dis tinct from the federal government. The constitution of virtually every State in the Union provides that Federal officials s'ia?' not have any part in the State government, and this inhibition extends to United States Senators and Representatives in Congress- Tn uu other Territor- ies of the United States the spirit of the laws of Congress seems to have been followed by their legisla- tors for promptly at their first legis~ lative sessions they set up the ma- chinery for conduc ing their Teri torial business, and l believe in the case of every Territory the officials selected were free and independent of any connection with Federal ad ministration.
 It appears from inspection of the session laws of all past Territories that the natural thing to do was to

that was responsible to the people only, either by popular election or selection by the legislators.
 Doubtless the members of the first session of the Alaska Legisla- lure believed that the imposition of Territorial duties upon Federal of- ficials was matter of economy, in- as much as office rentals would. to certain extent be saved, but with the gradual expansion of admins trative work and the requirement of more officials and clerks, this saving in rentals is a very minor item of expense.
 The Federal officials thus esconc- ed in Territorial power are perfect ly willing to continue in this service and to receive compensation for it. In fact these Federal officials are greatly averse to relinquishing the powers they now enjoy. They are more than reluctant to yield up these powers; they do not propose to do so without a contest such as that witnessed at the last session.
 The defeat of the CONTROLLER BILL came about through the ef- forts of Federal officials to perpet- uate themselves in Territorial of- fees. It is my purpose to show herein that the efforts of Federal officials to perpetuate their tenure of control of Territorial affairs is repetition of Territorial history.
 The history of the early Ameri- can territories is, in considerable part, the story of the friction be- tween the people or their represent atives and the officials appointed rom WaSn1ngCOn, D. C., WnO insist ed upon retaining certain powers that should have been exercised by the citizens of the new Territory.
 The road upon which self-govern- ment in the early Territories ad- vanced was rough one indeed, and it's milestones mark the occasions when their people received trans fers of governmental powers from Federal officials to themselves.
The Alaska fisherman., 1927-08-15

by Governors and Judges until such time as legislatures were authorized by Congress- The powers of the early Legislatures were greatly lim-- ited, and Federal officials exercised autOcratic powers. In many cases these powers were usurped without authority of law.
 The Ordinance of 1787 (the first of the Organic Acts) authorized the Governor and Judges to adopt such laws of the original States as they deemed best suited to the circum- stances of the district, and these laws were to remain in force until disapproved by Congress. It was States were not adapted to the Territory, and so the Governor and the Judges took it upon themselves to enact laws. This system evident ly met with the approval of Con- gress, for on May s, 1792, Congress enacted '"That the laws of the Ter ritory Northwest of the River Ohio that have been or hereafter may be enacted by the Governor and Judges and that the Governor and Judges are authorized to re- peal the laws made by them"
 The Territory south of the river Ohio was the first to organize a legislature, and this legislature was the first to elect a Delegate to Con- gross. Considerable debate arose in the House, when his credentials were presented upon the propriety of admitting such "nondescript member" but he was finally given a seat with the right of debating but not voting, and the status of Delegates in Congress has remained the same to the present day.
 The Ordinance of 17S7 provided that when the Territory had 5000 free male residents it could have a general assembly of it's own The Governor was given absolute veto power to convene, prorogue and dis solve the assembly.

Milwaukee Attorney Says school In iuencc Unfa,orable to Father land'-Asks For Probe.

Milwaukee. Wis, Oct. 26 P- Charges that pro-British and anti German text books are being used in Milwaukee public schools were made today by Attorney J. P. Beuscher, former president of the Muehlenberg unit of the Steuben so- ciety of America.
 Beuscner announced that he will send q communication to the Mueh- lenberg unit and ask that il take such means as At deems advisable to get rid Of such books in the public school system."

created by the admirals recent mag azine article had been declared a closed incident by the secretary himself.
 The opinion was advanced, how ever. that Magruder's subsequent actions had aroused the ire Of the department head and that his de- tachment was an act Of discipline.
 Meanwhile Admiral Magruder is awaiting at Philadelphia the arri- val of his successor. He asserted that he would ask a thorough explana- ton and is preparing for a trip to Washington in response to summons from Secretary Wilbur.
 He said the secretary's notifica- tion, which reached him last night, came as q "distipct shock" that he waS much attached to his present post and had hoped to remain for his full tour of duty.
 T don't know why I have been detached," Ac declared. and l shall insist upon a thorough investiga- tion." His magazine article, which aroused considerable comment, was followed by assertions from the ad- miral that his purpose had been constructive and that he had not in tended To embarrass the navy de partmont in any way.
 Secretary Wilbur called upon him to submit any reorganization plan he had in mind, but Masrudcr re- piled that he had none and that l. would be impossible to prepare such a program without much time and clerical assistance. Meanwhile, news paper mterviewers had pictured Ma gruder as belligcrcnt in his attitude. The admiral said he had been mis- quoted.
 Speaking later in Philadelphia, Admiral Magruder declared the de partment was imposing upon him by requiring that he back up statements made in his magazine article with concrete information. He disclosed that Secretary Wilbur had sent him q set of 10 questions to be answered and that when his replies were late ill reaching Washington he had re- CeivCd an order to hurry them up. After his answers had been submit ted, he said. requests for further ln formation were made.

Lund's state ment made today.
 Two others. ring leaders in the strike" face possible expulsion, al- though their penalty has not yet heen prescribed, according 10 the superintendent who added that they would be dealt with severely.
 \ couple of these strikers said Superintendent Lund, have long been thorns in the side of the high school administration and we believe that the school will benefit by their dismissal"
 MT. Lund declared that the 5S boys who are to be disciplined will be readmitted 10 the school program in full with no hazard to their standing in scholastic, athletic and social affairs.
 The "strike' was called yesterday in protest against the suspension of three football players who are alleg- cd to have turned in over their own signatures biology experiments writ ten by students of previous years. The players did not participate in the strike, school officials said.
 Dr. George Pawcett, president Of the board of education, said he has asked the board to make an inquiry into the strike.
