OLD FoGY NOTIONS

Ever so often the Indian Bu- reau "gets religion" and pub fishes new plans for the civili- zatiOn of the American Red Man And in every instance save one the Indian has had to pay in loss of time and expense of per- petuating a millstone which has retarded progress of these peo- ole. The one. exception to the rule was General R. H. Pratt'S idea of treating the Red Man as any other human, getting him into civilization; to keep him ci- vilized, letting him stay. But this practical theory was a thorn in the side of the Indian Bu- Ieau. It did everything to de- stroy the work of this great man and his school. But he left his impress upon those people and upon their friends.
 There is only one thing Miss Mary Stewart need do and the problem will resolve into no problem: Give the Red Man the same educational opportunity, he will take care of himself. He has demonstrated that fact in the various professions; on the athletic field; on the field of battle. 2

USELESS HOPING

It is to be hoped that among those federal employees who are coming from the national cap ital to see Alaska, there are some who are attached to offices in which Alaska business is trans acted. There is need of enlight- enment among the office forces at Washington as we'll as among department heads having juris- diction over federal activities in he territory, and a trip to Alas ka is the best way to get the lowdown on territorial condi- tions.-Anchorage Times.
 Ed. Note: If they are all as deaf to suggestions from resi- dent Alaskans as Henry O'Mal- ley, if they never came, Alaska would not be any worse off.

They all had some good stuff as the prohibition enforcement officers and other friends of the recent assistant attorney gener- al did not want to bother with poor consumers of re-VOlStead Seattle spirits, but were after the big wholesaler and white collar cd dispenser of the happy mak- ing liquids. At a late hour the banquetors sang Praise Goo

IGNORANT MASS VOTING

It is not long since the Hyder Chamber of Commerce sent out strong resolutions protesting the present Workman"s Com pensation Act for the Territory. The Empire and Chronicle i'm mediately spoke up in praise of the abortion of a law and MT. Metzgar, father of the physical moron, sang it's praises and told Of it's wonderful protection for labor. Forthwith the following Of that clique and clan agreed that it was a fine law and should NOT be changed. And 95 per cent of them do not know what It is all abOut-but they have their minds made up for them by the bureaucratic bibles of Ju- neau and Ketchikan. Give us more "illiterate, ignorant voters" who first ask and learn what it is all about and then vote as they believe right and not be- cause money power dictates.

THE CALL OF ALASKA ]" By JAMES R. LITTLE

Did you ever have a longing to get back to the trail, And to face the crashing light ming and the thunder and the gale?
 Not for no particular reason, but to give the world a laugh. And to show the roaring eIe- ments you still can stand the the gaff?
 Don't you ever feel a yearning just to try your luck again? I'Own the ripping, White Horse rapids with bunch of men? Don't you ever sorta banker for a rough and risky trip, Just to prove you're still living and you haven't lost your grip. Can't you hear the Yukon call ing you to have another try, Sieeping out beneath tn e spruces with a roof of moon- lit sky,
 With the wind sorta singing through the branches over head
 And your fire gaily cracking and your pipe burning red? Don't you often get feeling sorta cramped and useless there,
 Making figgers while you shine your pants upon an office chair.
 Dent you yearn to get acquaint- ed with life and God? If you don't then heaven heIp help you, for you're dying in your pod.

ALASKA AND THE BUREAUS

Alaska is by bureaus run, Or perhaps I should say ran, They rule us each and everyone, Both woman, child and man. There's a bureau for the bear, And another for the whale; One for the earth and air, Still another for the mail. A bureau for the nanny goats That graze high on the noun

 One for the farmers young
 ShOats;
 One for the springs and foun-
 tains.

PATRIOTISM

Patriotism is a far greater sentimentality than mere flag waving. In it's deeper, truer meaning it comprehends the ev- CT continued care of those men who unselfishly shed their blood for the liberty of their fellow men and constant guardianship of the widows and orphans of the valiant hosts who heroically gave their lives for the same noble cause. Wilson.
 But to many others of the plunderbund, they make gran eloquent speeches, wave the flag and stay at home and reap the profit from supplies for those who pay the supreme price. Those kind of pay-triots even drag conscientious object CTS through the streets behind automobiles and throw those so dragged into the bay. Patriot ism is a funny bird and many

FOR BETTER WAGES

When the pay envelope con- tains not merely a living wage for the worker and his family but surplus with which he may purchase some of the lux ories of his desire, our country at large is the beneficiary.
 "This principle of liberal pay ment is a boon to labor, indus try and business. It is the ere ator of markets, whose goods, in turn, create new demands for men and their labor" James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor.

TAKE OUT POWER INSUR-
 ANCE NOW

It is usual, out in the west, to lCok upon our WaterpoWer re- sources as almost limitleSs.' '' That is a dangerous state of mind for any city.
 In the east, New York already ic taking steps to preserve every drop of water in the Great Lakes for power production at Niagara Falls and on the St. Lawrence River. Other thickly settled parts of the east are hunting about for new power sites.
 The story of the east today is the story of the west tomorrow. If we let power sites get out of public hands into private own ership, we must pay toll in the future every time we turn on an electric lamp.
 The west has plenty of power available-NOW. It should se- cure that potential power for the public good, to be developed when necessity arises. Every publicly-owned powersite is in surance against high rates in the years to come. Seattle Star.

Urges Congress to Act
In Behalf of Veterans
To the Editor Of The star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
read in your issue of December IS,
and saw that Senator Heflin has
introduced a bill ip the Senate to give
our veterans in st. Elizabeth's q hear
ing to determine their sanity every six
months by the doctors afflliated to this
institution. A very slim hope to the
war veterans In this institution to
know their status will be reviewed by
the same doctors who have had the
power all the time to give them their
freedom.
The Senator says that war veterans
committed to this institution for the
insane are doomed and those with
money are exploited by the people on
the outside, who put this money to their
personal use.
The gravity of the charges made
against this institution demands a SUBJ
stitution Of the system instead of grant
ing the power to hospital authorities
they already had, but neglected to use.
A rev years ago an ex-CongresSman
literally tore down the gates of this
institution IN order to free q number
Of veterans.
My suggestion is for Congress to ap-
point a committee of its members
Tor the purpose Of examining the status
OF every war veteran In this Institution
consider the eligibility Of their instant
release, and determine their compensa.
ton rating.
The knowledge that war veterans vho
helped to defend the Nation In the late
connict have been held In this and oth.
er similar institutions for long PERIODS
OF time should be the warrant for Con-
gresS to act on this matter immediateIv.

Pay for the Seals!

The tuberculosis Association is still
several thousand dollars short Of the
campaign goal Of $4,000 to carry on
Its important work during the next year,
and part Of the shortage is due to the
failure Of persons who received seals
by mail on approval to make the proper
refund.
The neat little Health Greeting,
1929" will still be good in 1890. In
fact. thousands Of people throughout
the land use them on envelopes for
many months, and each one as brightly
presents its message Of hygiene and
good cheer.
Although labeled with their year, the
Christmas seals are In fact timeless, as
the work which they help to do is price,
less. A childrens clinic and health
camp are run with the proceeds Of the
sale, and In addition free lunches are
provided for fresh-air classes, and i'm
portant free health literature and adj
vice Is given to parents and children.
Amid the hustle Of Christmas 1t Is
a very easy thing for any one to forget
to pay for the packet Of seals which
he received, but each packet is impor-
tant to the work, and those who have
received them should either return
them or pay for them.

Northern Liberty
Market Site Favored

To the Editor Of The Star:
Kindly allow me little space IN The
Star for an opinion In the matter of
location for the Center Market, eve,
the people," Of the Bethesda section
FAVOR the Northern Liberty Market site
as the most suitable. There Ia no
doubt about its being central. To he
aooeo 70 that argument Is the Conven-
Cion Hail, extending from K street to 7,
street, along Fifth street, already used
py market men. Only about one-fifth
OF the flrst floor is occupied, and ali is
neauy lifted up. ready to occupy. K
sCreet Is wide. and its building line is
lar PACK, allowing, II needed, for widen
ing OF the street still more for the
farmers to back UP to display their
marketing. The idea would be to make
l. street also wide, so as to use the
space between e and l. streets and
from Fifth street to New JERSEY avenue
the buildings now there, residences and
q lew small business places, are of not
mucn value and could be purchased at
2 reasonable price, and then you would
naVe a market that would meet its in
Senoeo purpose for years to come. Both
systems OF street railways pass there
and 1t is convenient for all the people
the Patterson tract. only a half-dozen
blocks away, would answer for the
wholesale section, also near our prin-
clpal railway systems, and the trains
from way down In Dixie could also
reach this site to unload their products
Inc Center Market people, below the
avenue, must move within the next year,
and place for them must be decided
on quite soon, so let us argue on this
subject, giving all an opportunity to
nave his say. The time is getting
shorter every day. CFIAS. A. READ.

answer. The German people are not
only on record in favor of keeping their
governments plighted word. but have
shown the world that they are fully
aware Of the side on which their bread
Is buttered.
No other way was open than the
path Of straight and sagacious dealing
which the Reich now purposes taking.
It leads directly to the Forthcoming
meeting at which all the reparation
powers, debtor and creditor. will for
naally exchange ratifications Of the
Young plan. When It becomes the new
economic law Of Europe, the Old World
can settle down TO q definite period Of
reconstructive activity impossible while
Germany chafed under the exactions Of
the Dawes plan.
The Reich has q long and arduous
pull ahead Of 1t, to meet the heavy
burdens of the revised reparations sys-
TEN. But the events Of yesterday as
sure the world that the German people
are determined to buckle to the task
manfully. They would be less than
human II they do so always uncom-
plainingly, but they have now assured
themselves of that international good
will so necessary to any country en-
barked upon the uphill Journey on
which Germany set out ten years ago,
and In which she Is making such salts

Germany's Good Faith.

German good faith in international
obligations survived a notable test yes
terday. BY an impressive minority
those Of the Reichs electorate who
went TO the polls failed miserably to
register the requisite referendum vote
10 defeat the Young reparations plan.
OF 4l,25o,00o qualified voters, only
some 6,23l 900 took the trouble to cast
their ballots and Of these but 5,702, 900
favored rejection of the reparations
agreement. TWenty-one million votes
were required to carry the Nationalist
destruction program, but IL did not OBJ
tain much more than q mere Gre
fourth Of that number. The reaction
airy scheme to ditch the Young rlan Is
now "spurlos versenkt."
More than German loyalty to an In
ternational pact was at stake Ger
man common sense and enlightened
self-interest were no less involved In
the decision which Nationalist In
transigenee forced the people TO make.
The tunker- militarist die-hards, now
proved to be q powerless clique,
termed the reparations pact. In the
making of which the lamented Strese-
mann was so potent factor, "the en-
slavement Of the German people" The
Nationalist croakers in October drum
med UP enough popular support Of that
theory to necessitate yesterdays ref
erendun. Now they have had their
