''THE FIFTH DIVISION"

Sarcastically speaking of the Senate Representative Donnelly declared in the last session of the legislature that he was glad he was member of the House rather than of the Senate. While it was generally consid- cred more of an honor to oe a Senator still he was delighted that he was a representative because the Senate was under the domination of the Fifth Division" instead of Alaska.
 The Fifth Division is general ly recognized as being the Seat tie and San Francisco head quarters of the canning asso- citations and the f1oling up

domain. And from the first the treatment of tlse Aleuts by the promyshlenki was cruel and de- ctructive. Originally a gentle peace loving people, they were reduced to a state of practical peonage.
 When the agents of Baranof moved eastward they encount- cred a different class of natives. Warned by the experience of the Aleutians of Prince William Sound, Yakutat and Sitka ar rayed themselves in hostility against the aggressive Russians. Tl,e result was bloodshed and massacre. Finally subdued by superiority of numbers and equipment, the Thlingets be- came the unwilling subjects of a government they never learned to love.
 The first ten years of Ameri- can occupancy might be termed the period of no government. Tn so far as the natives were concerned it was a period of neglect and debauchery. Trad ing vessels brought liquor and the material for the manufac-

ture of native brew. The sol- diers, the only representatives of the United States government preyed upon the helpless peo- pie, trampled upon their rights and violated their homes. There were no schools, no missions and no attempt of any sort to ciei- lize and christianize. Not until 1877 was any attempt made to establish schools and it was a full year later before the first missionary under American aus pices arrived. It is not pleasing to contemplate these eleven years of reprehensible neglect on the part of church, schools and state.
 In evaluating the attainment of the Alaskan these tacts should be kept in mind. In the face of bad treatment and bad example they 1save made notable progress in the arts of civllizA- tion. Those who have ap- preached them with a desire to help have had wall of preiud- ice to face. It has increased the difficulties of the project out has not proven an insuperable barrier. It is to be hoped that t1>e helping hand may stiil be extended and that in this day no farther cause may be given to perpetuate the barrier of race prejudice. e.-Verstovian, Sitka.

Prejudice is early opinion. In estimating the progress of the natives of Alaska the factor of first impressions must be taken into account. What did they think of the people who came to tn eir r shores demanding rights and privileges? Was there basis for resentment? How meet the same in programs of education?
 History is an impartial wit ness. In the light of past re- cords we may better appreci- ate one of t1se obstacles to pro- gress in missions and education.
 The interval from 1799 to 1867 in Alaskan history, might re termed the period of govern ment by traders. The original attraction to these shores was not the love of adventure nor the lure of gold but the luster of sea-otter.

The distinguished &Dartmouth

Ad Liska is the worrying type

if he wins and he worries If he

the dropping Of the Boston

has been described as being very
cocky, we find that is not his
outstanding characteristic.
He is one of the most sincere
youngsters who ever broke into
major league baseball. He is
concerned over every ball he
pitches and every batter he
faces, spending many sleepless
hours a night figuring better
ways to dispose of this situa-
ton or that VIXEN in the box.
It is a good sign in any kid
to give his work that sort of
sincerity, but it isn't good
sign for him to fret and stew
too much over a game that is
gone. That is particularly true
of Fridays game, which was
lost more through the failure of
Liska's teammates to hit than
through any pitching ineffective
ness of his. Liska must learn
the difference between being
worried and being concerned
over his work. Worry won't

The Washington times., 1929-04-29

Cool, windy and blue Monday,
but there's always a little, some
thing to chatter about.
Met that splendid, athlete,
Myles Lane, the Dartmouth foot
ball player, who was runner-up
and leader ia Eastern collegiate
point scoring two seasons hand
running.
He was dining at the Press
Club with his fellow New En-
glander, John Lambert, our fell
low newspaper man. John, in
case you don't know, was the
closest gentleman of the press
to Calvin Coolidge. Cal called
Lambert by his first name and
that's fair intimacy. But John
never took the same liberty
with Cal.
Anyway Myles Lane is a cousin
or a nephew or a grandson or
something of Lambert's and if
Lambert isn't proud of Lane
then you weren't of your first
pair of red-topped boots.
Myles, with George Owens, Of
Harvard, has the distinction of
being one of the only two
American college football play
ers ever to turn professional
hockey player. Both are mem
bers of the, Boston Bruins, spe-
cializing in the defense depart
ment of the great ice sport. 1t
seems that the commercialized
end of hockey draws most of its
timber from Quebec and On
tario.
Lane believes Washington
would be a great city for pro-
fessional hockey. He bases that
thought on the fact the game
is patronized by a very high
type of people, evening attire
being the common thing in the
boxes and forefront seats. Cat
this juncture a bow is due Mr..
Lane for his implied, if not
very direct, compliment.)
Myles does not agree with the
utterances of we'll known
gridiron official who recently
declared the players of the pres
ent era do not have the football
fight which prompted the grid
iron warriors of two decades
ago. Myles thinks the present
crop plays as hard;T if not
harder, because the schedules are
longer and more severe.
Formerly a team played but
one tough team during the sea-
son, spending the early schedule
facing pushovers and saving
their big punch for one final
game which crowned the season,
Lane argues. After the first
couple of Saturdays these days
there are no soft spots in the
dates.

duelling is concluded.
Despite the on-again-off.again-

Griffs and Yankees yesterday
squared off and battled to a de-
cision at the Georgia Avenue ball

Some 5000 were present to see
the title-holders bump Irving Had
ley and Lloyd Brown for six runs
in the fifth and automatically walk
away with the verdict.
AS if this margin failed to satisfy
his healthy appetite, Babe Ruth
stepped into one of Bob Burkc's
slants in the seventh and rocked it
over the scoreboard in right center
with nobody on, thereby marking
up his second homer of the season.
