DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN ALASKA
 NATIVES.

The circumstance that there are nearly g,000 white native born students attending Alaska public schools and doubt several thousand other white residents of the Territory who are native born suggests that the of the term "native1 to distinguish the descendants of the aboriginers in Alaska is misnomer There are too many white natives to make the term de- sorptile cf those who here before the white race came Some other term should be employed and we suggest there is nothing better than "Indians." It is honorable name. and, not withstandng that 1t was first applied in isnor- ance, it long ago accepted everywhere for the American aboriginal races in both North and South America. It is name that would be understood throughout the world It is the name by which our aboriginees known by the world outside of Alaska-except those of them that are Eskimos
 There is no case of race feeling in the matter. It Is simply necessary that terms should be descriptive of conditions. We have both Indian natives and white natives. It is not discreditable to any to be Indian CT to be called an Indian. As matter of fact, the use of the term in Alaska to link up the Indians cf this Territory with the very capable and advanced Indians of the rest of the United States, Mexico and South America.

 It is getting so a lot of women don't consider it any more neces- sary to hold their husbands than they do to hold their tongues.
 We may be wrong but our guess is that lot of girls have missed a chance of wearing orange blos- sons as result of men getting the fine chance they do, these days of seeing what they are going to get before they get it.

It IS true that the report of the Foreign Ahalrs Committee Interpreting it's meaning is te be hled along with it, but that is not in the legal sense 2 reservation to the treaty, and against this sop to the Senatorial opponents Of the treaty we may perhaps fairly set the remarkable expressions of public favor which Mir. Kelloggs treaty has evoked. The public opinion which has so ener- getically demanded the ratification of the pact without reservations is ignorant, no doubt of the intricacies of the diplomats of which we have heard so much since the pact was first launched
 but it has a very clear and forcible idea of the necessity of getting rid of It is the mission ary spirit: impractical, perhaps, at times, and not alive to all the difficulties. But if we had more of il here the difficulties would look less and the outlawry of war would be nearer.

Inter-City Visits.
Petersburg Press. ]

During the last week, Petersburg has had the pleasure of entertaining, and being enter tained by two splendid groups of Ketchikan resi- dents The Normanna Male Chorus, q spelndid organization of songsters who are affiliated with the sons and Daughters of Norway in Ketehi- kan arrived last Saturday to put concert, The trip was made as a means of more firmly cementing the friendly relations existing between the people of the two communities and en- tirely without hope of financial remuneration. Their visit and the concert were each greatly enjoyed and it is sincerely hoped that they will make it annual custom and that similar local organizations will be able to visit Ketchi- kan as suggested by the members of the chorus
 The second group of First City representa- tiyes arrived sunday, the Ketchikan High School basketball team and remained until erly Wednes- day morning before returning home. They play ed two game series with the local high school team and their visit was equally successful in increasing thes degree Of friendliness between the two communities.

 There lines of endeavor in which rivalary between cities is highly commendabe. Effort to reduce losses is one of these second to almost no other in worthiness Seattle steps forth at the end of the year to boast justly of fre-loss far below its average The city's per capita aver age was found to be about , cents for the year. If State honors were at stake however, Long view would nose out Seattle. It procaims per capita loss from fires of only 32 cents, this four ishing eity's total being only S4,51S23.

Port Angeles chafes under an increase, which sets its mark for the year Fat $63S20
 This rivalry is worthy of every encourage ment Other cities of notable fire prevention records should get their names on the honor-roll.
