 barrel and everything. Her posses 'slons include 160 acres Of ground

 railroad station, a general store and
 cluster of houses.
 Now Garber has a new grin on life. Its 50 inhabitants are hopeful that under the guidance of their
 new berefactor the town soon will
 grow by leaps and bounds. Mrs. Clodtelter outlined an ambitious program for the towns welfare and already the lethargy that has kept it Tn rut these many years has been broken by the spell of new &C., .tiyity.

 Once before Garber experienced the thrill of notorictv. That was when Harold Bell Wright chose this scenic settlement for the picturiza- 1lon Of his Shepherd of the Hills. one or his principal characters was
 o'd Matt' c. K. Ross), post master Who also operated the general store 'but after the first wave of popularitv mad passed. Garbcr settled back again and dozod.

LABORs DIVIDENDS
civilization

Under this arresting headline The New Leader, the socialist weekly of New York, prints regularly the cas- ualties suffered by wage earners in the pursuits of everyday labor-a great deal of which is perpetually fraught with physical danger.
 Recalling from the horrible dis aster off Provincetown, made doub- ly hideous because of the stupidity manifested by humanity in allowing submarines to exist at all, one's mind reverts to these labor disast. CTS. But miners fighting for life against the gradual approach of suf- location, deep in the blackness un- derground, do not receive pages on pages in the press. At the very time when the forty unfortunates of 'iIS O-T WOAO uSdu UCyOAu Iuo nOSL desperate hope, and the papers were still running columns on the story "hily, the bodies of four miners were being removed from lethal cav- errs at Marion, Illinois, and strug- gle on to save three still thought to be alive. The miners got a grudg ing inch or two. Not so many of them-in this instance-and a bit less dramatic in stark tragedy. But every year in this country some 3, 300 coal miners are killed on the job. Since 1869 there have been 22 major coal mine disasters. Not to mention other labor losses.
 You recall the S-51; but do you know anything about the catastro- phes at Benwood, West Virginia, and Castle Gate, Utah, in which 119 and 171 were killed, respectively many after long-drawn-out agony?

Hunt that he cast reflection upon the manner in which he was elected. If the methods of electing the so- called Paul Ticket" are all wrong today, and they are no different to. day from four years ago, then the manner in which Senator Hunt was elected was all wrong and grave suspicion" may be cast upon that election" according to the Senator, because of "unscrupulous methods" of election.
 Aside from these allegations, we
 remark that a great many truths are told and lessons that might
 be taken to heart and made use of. The old Indian law is the old Mo- safe law-an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth Kindness is ap-
 preciated and returned in kind and
 an injury is not soon forgotten noy forgiven.
 Damning the Indian, hurting his pride and honor and integrity and
 sincerity of purpose never will make
 of him a friend; nor will sham
 friendship for the purpose of glean ing a few votes Therefore the on 1 ly thing to do in this Territory is
 to try to understand his motive and
 his problems and to aid him in his
 attempt to solve those problems oi
 home life, industry and schooling His reaction will be natural and as it is done unto him.

IF NOT WAR-WHAT IS IT?

Secretary of War Wilbur stated before the Senate that estimated cost of maintaining the army of marines in Nicaragua was $1,6O8, 900 to date; that 21 marines had been killed and 45 wounded. On the Nicaraguan side he believed that POP were dead but he did not estimate the number of wounded
 Senator Blaine said: Tt is admit ted that this report does not ac- count for all the loss of life in Nicaragua. The report does not state HOW MANY WOMEU AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KILLED, and at least the children, the babes in arms, could not have been en- gagged in any hostile activity"

JUDGE, JURY WITNESS

II am convinced that Thomas is the man who assaulted Mrs. Allen on Tuesday night" Again, If you had gone thru the experiences with me that night, you would also be convinced of his (Thomas') guilt D So declares the Justice who is to sit in the hearing which will de- termine whether or not James Thomas will be held to appear be- fore the grand jury for assault to commit robbery, rape or murder.
 The witness Commissioner Claus cen according to his own statement in his office, has been active in se- curing evidence to corroborate his idea of what took place on the night of she alleged assault.
 The jury Listening to the evil dence which will be presented, the Commissioner will determine in his mind what he has already decided and declaered-the guilt of Thom- as. 'I am sure he (Thomas) has been led to do this act by reason of reading trashy novels" said the Judge. So, what chance has the boy when the judge is convinced of the guilt before even a hearing?
 Thomas with his young bride of couple, months of course, must pay. The criminal must be brought to justice and it might as we'll be Thomas as any other so long as JUSTICE is satisfied. We have stated before that it was our belief that old lady Justice was blind and cockeyed, and now we might add. little hard of hearing.

WE DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION

In his communication to the Chronicle, Forest J. Hunt makes tie assertion that "The Indian vote is factor which has thus far, been guided and almost wholly controlled by one man, whose methods and purposes are open to grave suspi- cion."
 If MT. Hunt has any facts to pre- sent to back his charge of wrong or illegal methods used by MT. Paul or any other citizen, it is his duty as a decent, upstanding American citizen to present his facts and de- mand that the District Attorney take action forthwith to stop any further abuse of the ballot box As an official organ of the Alaska Native Brotherhood we demand that MT. Hunt present his facts or re- tract and repudiate his allegations aS being without foundation of fact

The Indians are described as inhuman warriors with no pity for women or children" The Germans a few short years ago were damned for certain alleged unspeakable at- rocities but we hear naught of the valiant warfare on the women and children of Nicaragua.

COMMUNICATION Printed in Ketchikan Chronicle

The primary election is over and as the smoke of battle raises, our vision can more clearly discern the situation, and reason from cause to effect. First, I want to thank the comparatively few who main tained faith enough-or was it sympathy-to support me, and to as. sure those who supported a competi- ter, that no rancor abides with me as the result This however, does vituperatiOn and viscious misrepre
 sentations made, for purely person a reasons, against me during and prior to the campaign. When ] filed for re-nOMination, I did so with a conscience free from any guilt of public trust betrayed or vi olcted. My duties were performed in a spirit of fidelity to the public and my political responsibilities, free from personal malice, but I had offended member of the House who aspires to great political power, in consequence of which he in a true christian CD spirit of re venge, set to work to secure my de. feat by inducing another to file against me to line up a complete ticked under his banner. This sit uation gave hope to others who had not wholly approved of my political attitude to place a candidate in the field and win three-cornered fight
 The result is now known. After an active campaign, especially among the native settlements the Paul tick ct won. I made no campaign except by circulation of some printed mat ter (which will look best charged up to advertising" and I feel that can modestly retire from the field of active politics to my home duties aLd business with financial profit to myself and, perhaps, more free from political contamination.

 wholly taught and directed by one person capitali2ing his native blood whose selfish aims are as bound less as his methods are unscrupulous This is free democracy and we can not hope for respect and support
 from those whom we denounce or would coerce. The Indians are free American citizens, with the cleo tive franchise extended to all, in Alaska, who can read and write and ! otherwise qualify, the same as otn- CT citizens of the United States
 which is as 1t should be; they are citizens by birthright, who have !! been too long exploited, debauched and plundered by designing and un- sc1upulous white men; their only
 means of protection being that of force which always resulted in the defeat of the Indians and the loss of many innocent lives on both sides and deep-seated distrust of the wkite mans methods and schemes. Some talk of the alignment of the whites against the natives. This is absolutely unthinkable and can be prompted only be desire to coerce This is republic and Hand of the free" where absolute dictation has

The Indians are entitle1 to their freedom, and their rights No self-designing person can long control the native vote if genuine interest in their welfare is shown and they are treated fairly Mis- representation can at times score a temporary victory but Truth dashed to earth will rise again."

The primary law is the protection of democratic gov ernmont. The result of the last pri- l mary election should convince the corporation and federal forces. of this division, of the futility of trying to control the elections. Had those who are opposed to a dangerous
 "one-mon" power, kept their candi- date out If the field, the result might have been different, but my candidacy vas not entirely satisfact- ory to the special interest support CTS, hence the action and the "PauI' ticket won and I was made the goat" One thing is proven. The people of Alaska are going to control ,be elections. Are the cor porate interests willing to cooper ate in tho interest of real Alaskan government or is it to be a contin- ued fight for foreign mastery?
 Having retired from the life ot an active politician, I present the case as an interested citizen.
