Last Thursday evening. Mrs. Flora
Warren Seymour of Chicago. the only.
woman member of the Board Of
Indian Commissioners and author of
many books relating to Indian life.
the last one of which is "The Indian
of Today" delivered lecture on the
subject of the Indian and the Law"
at the school. Mrs. Seymour gradu-
ated from the Washington College of
Law in 1915 and many of her friends
and classmates were present Proceed.
ing the lecture Dean Riley served tea
in the faculty room
Mrs, Seymour discussed the law in
connection with the development Of
the Indian tribes under the iurisdic.
ton of the United States, stating that
the Indian progressed very slowly
with the French and English settlers,
whose attitude was one Of ownership
Of the land, and merely granting the
use of the land to the Indians. TODAY
the Indians have citizenship rights
and one of the interesting sidelights
on their desires for development is
shown by the fact that there is a
delegation of Indians in Washington
| at this time requesting the Govern
ment to use money received from oil
leases for the purpose of charging
| their reservations.
Mrs. Seymour is in Washington at
tending the annual meeting of the
Board of Indian Commissioners

FRANKLIN u. SEMESTER
TO OPEN JANUARY 81
Law and Accountancy Are Com.
bined in Co-ordinated Pace
Courses.

Ben tamin Franklin University will
open its Midwinter semester in the
Pace course in accuntancy and
business administratio on January
81. The day division will have classes
five mornings a week from $40 to
1890. Evening students may attend
either from $40 to 7:2O. three evenings
a week. or from 100 to $40.
Registrations in the Pace schools
throughout the country for the school
year 1926-1927 have exceeded all pre-
vious years. Starting less than %
years sgo with an enrolment Of IS,
the work of the Pace schools has
extended until at The present time
there are IS resident schools with an
enrolment Of more than 5000
students
The rea sons for this remarkable
growth have been the demand for men
and women with a practical training
in the science Of accounting and in
law. and the success of the co-ordi,
mated accounting and law course in
giving breadth of training and reason
ing power in addition to specific
accounting and business prepare ton
The Pace course was ons of the
first to include law instruction with
instruction in accounting and applied
economies. This was done, not to
enable graduates to practice law, but
to prepare them to handle ordinary
legal matters arising in business, as
we'll as to do accounting work. To
give this combined accounting and
law training within the scope of a
three-vear course required that the
science of law be developed logically
along the lines of the best law schools,
but stripped OF it's technical language
and relieved of those branches with
which the accountant or business
man has nothing to do. That this
combined training is meeting with
favor is shown by its adoption by
many other schools of commerce

in point.
 The one person who could have obtained standing in court to ques- tiOn the validity of these reserva- tions orders as we'll as the legality of the obnoxious regulations pro- mulgated by the Secretary of Com merce, was the Attorney General of Alaska. But such action would have been and was considered in the nature of an attack on the Bureaus, and the bureaucrats who, by legislative authority, controlled the actions of the Attorney General, would not of course, consent to any action that questioned bureau cratic power. An appeal was talk en to the legislature and that body instructed the Attorney General by resolution to bring suit for in junction against the Bureau in the courts, but here the Bureau power interposed to protect the Bureaus, and the Governor vetoed the resolu- tion. Three members of the Senate stood with Bureaucrats and against the people of the Territory and sus- tained the Governors veto. Some will say that the Attorney General should have advisors in instituting say that such advisors should not be members of the organizations against which he would institute suit His advisors in all matters affecting his office should be rep resentatives of the people, respon- sible to the people and in sympathy with their cause. He should not be controlled Or dominated by Bureau crats who are not responsible to the people nor in sympathy with the people in their efforts to develop their ideals of free government If a board of control is to dictate the actions of the Attorney General, let it be board selected by the voters of the Territory and not by Bureaus at Washington.
 That Federal officials are deter mined to suppress the efforts of the
The Alaska fisherman., 1927-11-15

ed in their endeavors to manipulate legislative assemblies to that end. The solicitous care for the new members of the legislature, as we'll as for. the old members who re- joice in doing their bidding, that is always displayed by the Bureau crats at Juneau does not blind the eyes of those independent spirits who feel that the cause of their constituents is of paramount import ance They know just what is be- hind the scenes and are clearly a. ware that there is purpose in the betting that weak members receive from the Bureaucrats. They are turing these men from the cause of the neighbors who repO5ed confid- ence in them, for the sole purpose Territorial affairs, and unless the people of Alaska awaken to the sit uatiOn and correct if, that control will become fixed policy even though it may be at variance with the fundamental principles of self government.
 I would say that one method for correcting some of the abuses that are practiced by Federal officials would be to release the Attorney General from the cords with Which past legislatures bound him and give him an opportunity to take fragrant violations of law by Federal officials into court. Why should legislators, or for that matter, why should Federal officials fear the lib~ eration of the Attorney General and his entrance into courts in the in terest of the people? Do these legislators and Federal Officials fear the courts? If the Attorney General loses his suits, it is to be presumed that he was in error, but on the other hand, if he wins his suit. he must be right. Therefore, what is the objection to having the laws interpreted by the courts? The answer is that autOcratic pow CT does not want to yield to courts

torney General iron. the hamperine conditions that surround him was promptly rendered null and void by Federal officials. The legislature passed a measure to confer quo warranto powers upon the Attor- ney General, but the veto power made short shift of the law. '",The writ of quo warrantO is writ to try the right of one holding an office and cannot be maintained ex- cept at the instance of the gOvern-
 ment. It is not a remedy to deter~ mine dispute between private per- sons and corporation, but it is to determine by what right the cor. pOratiOn exercise wrOngfully or il- legally a franchise.' We might we'll inquire what objection can there be to the exercise of this power by the -ACbOI IlCy NCISl al Ol A1dShd w Hell no private individual can exercise it? There is no reason except the determination of Federal officials that there shall be no curtailment of the illegal powers that they now exercise. If they exercise no il- legal powers what harm can the At torney General do them?
 The sequence to the action of the last legislative session and the ac tions of Federal officials in frustrat- ing the efforts made by some mem bers to straighten out the Territorial administration is seen in the action taken in the court of the First Division by private individuals to rectify the situation after the legis- lature refused to do so It is cer- tainly a commentary on the tangl ed conditions in which the Federal officials have placed the Territorial administration with the acquiesence of the legislature, to see Judge Wickersham, at his own expense, and without assistance, attempting by process of law to correct abuses of the Organic Act that have heen persisted in by our legislatures even after he and the present and past Attorneys General had advised re- nontodlu ar to tho illomol lit1z o4 oor

Irish Surnan,es Rank
With Worlds Oldest

1t will be news to many people
that Irish surnames are the Oldest
In Europe except the Venetian, and
moreover not single one of the
great Irish family names is taken
from any trade or occupation
every one is derived from some
noted ancestor, usually q prince or
military commander. Things are
far different in England. Thus
Howard, the family name of the
dukes Of Norfolk, is derived from
Hog-ward, or guardian of pigs.
English surnames, moreover, are
extremely recent. There is, for ex-
ample, not a single English sur
name that goes back beyond the
Eleventh century, and the oldest
surnames are not English but Nor
man-French. On the other hand, in
Ireland there is not single sur
name in Ia or o which does not
go back to the Eleventh century
or beyond it. Surnames in Mac
are more recent. O or Ia means
grandson; Nj means grand
daughter; Mac means "son."
l believe there is not a single
Irish name that has not been
changed in it's translation from
Gaelic into English-the, English
form usually represents the pro-
nunciatiOn of the historic Irish
form. In Leinster, however, where
the English first established a foot
ing, the assumption of English in
place of Irish names was compelled
by law, translation being the proc
ess usually adopted.-From a Let.

Gems Rarely Seen

Many Of the most famous collec-
lions of gems in the United States
have not seen the light of social
function, nor even the less roman
tic light of day for 20 years. They
belong to old families, the members
Of which have lost their taste for
expensive adornment, but do not
wish to dispose of their possessions.
1t Is only occasionally upon the
settlement Of such an estate that
really rare collection Is thrown on
the market. Owing to a popularity
of the market value of these stones,
most Of them are sold to European
purchasers, says the Saturday Eve
ming Post, for the old-time gems
were cut with as small waste as
possible with little regard to shape,
and Americans demand regularity
Of facet and brilliancy.
