JAIL" HEART

Alex PantageS, sentenced to a long term of retrospection and introspection, for having at- tempted to assault a young wo- man in his office last fall, now comes before the court with an army of doctors to show that un- less he is freed from jail he must die of heart trouble.
 The trouble with Alex is that iie thought his millions would keep him out of jail. Now that he finds it didn't, he gets heart trouble. Probably thinks that insofar as his wife was let out on parole, he would be allowed to 50 free to continue his passion ate and amorous assaults. But the judge fooled him. Alex must serve his time says the court and good enough.

MAKING AMERICANS

Restrictive immigration has materially reduced the influx of foreigners into the United States but it has not prevented a situa- tion under which millions of aliens on American soil know lit tie or nothing about their adopt ed country, it's history and ideals, and who have not taken the trouble to learn the English language. Immigrants have a tendency to "colonizze" in large cities or rural settlements, re- taining their old-world customs, languages and standards of liv- ing.
 The United States has shown a remarkable capacity for absorb ing and assimilating aliens, but with the organization of the country it is becoming more diff fcult every year to Americanize the foreign clements. Records on naturalization point to the need of increased activity on the part of agencies interested in naturalization.
 When alien groups isolate themselves to perpetuate their native customs, and in some cas- cS develop animosities toward tne United States, they become 8 dangerous element. Smooth functioning of a democracy de- nlands a reasonable degree of homogeneity, and it is to the in terest of all governmental units and patriotic and civic organiza- tions to work to that end.
 Conversion of millions of alien whites of voting age into citizens i: an undertaking that needs support of every citizen and ev- cry group interested in good gov e'nment.-News-M Miner.

FREIGHT RATES

Freight rates on lumber to Japan ranged recently from $4 to S6 and rates now being quot ed range from $5.5O to .$6.5O- from Puget Sound Points.
 Rates on timber from Alaska to the Orient remain $8 to a B. C. port plus additional rate to the Orient.
 Prices for Alaska heml0ck m the Orient range from $27 first class to $8 third class making an approximate average of $15.5O a thousand. After paying freight rate of $13. leaves only margin If S1.5O a thousand to the ship per.
 Alaska has more hemlOck tim Der than can be used locally. Yet on top of the discriminatory ton- nage rate the Forestry Bureau sets up such regulations that the timber may not be shipped out of Alaska to foreign markets.
 The Government is spending millions to bring settlers to the Territory. It hopes to build up :: farming country by hothouse methods.
 On the other hand, the U. S' Bureau of Fisheries is driving re- sidents out of the Territory by its discriminatory regulations; and the Bureau of Forestry is pro- tccting the forest industry of the Coastal States by making harsh and rigid regulations which pre- vent Alaska loggers from ship ping to the Orient.

Editor The ALASKAN,
 Petersburg, Alaska
 Dear Sir:
 would like to add a few words C. tribute to the character of the late Fred E. Bronson as car ried in your issue of December
 9th. I would asy that no finer nor more admirable character has lived in the Northland dur ing our generation. He exempli- fled in his years of residence the ideal American citizen. Intense ly patriotic and loyal to the in- stitutions and traditions of his country, and to the preceptS of it's greatest leaders, he never ex- alted his own patriotism by de- derogating that of others. Bron- sons dignity of manner, com
 bined with his geniality and kindly disposition, were unusual endowments of nature which at tracted other men to him. His rigid adherence to the laws in the performance of his official cuties was finely tempered by his disposition to help those who be- came involved in customs vio- lations to take advantage of ev- cry measure of clemency provid- l ed for the executive power Surely the people of Wrangell will miss his neighborly presence. Occasional visitors to Wrangell will miss his familiar figure on the wharf at arrival and depart ure of boats. His familiars of his own age must regret his de- parture from their group. The friendly games they played with Him will not be so attractive without his presence. Bronson's rassing leaves a lonesome place
 against the sky" at Wrangell. Dan Sutherland.

MORE BOATS THAN FREIGHT

Indicating the lack of demand for deep sea tonnage several for |eign tramps have within the last month been withdrawn from ser vice and laid up at North Pacific ports to await improved freights ln other words, business offering at present is insufficient to pay expenses to home ports, where layup charges are naturally less than on this coast. This is con- dition that has not obtained at this season in many years and emphasizes the oversupply of tonnage compared with the amount of cargo offerings.
 The tramp carrier cannot be charged with the demOralizatiOn |of rates in North Pacific trades. For months trampS have been present only in small numbers in these waters and many of them formerly operating trans-Pacif1c have been withdrawn. On the other hand the supply of liner space has been so far in excess of the amount of business avail able that rates have constantly 'receded until no one will venture to state when bottom levels have been reached Berth lines have

FROM THE PRESIDENT

The concluding paragraph of
 President Hoover's message to Congress is herewith reprinted. It is solid American doctrine, ev- en if it be somewhat idealistic insofar as application is concern ed from some of the powers that be:
 "The test of the rightfulness of our decisions must be whether we have sustained and advanced the ideals of the American peO- pie; self-gOvernment in it's foun- dations of local government; justice whether to the individual
 C. to the group; ordered liberty; freedom from domination; open
 opportunity and equality of op- portunity; prosperity and the lessening of poverty; freedom of public opinion; education; ad- vancement of knowledge; the growth of religious spirit; the
 tolerance of all faiths; the
 foundations of the home and the o]vo ncannant nf nnacno

 no small degree to the general depression in all offshore trades. The Timberman, Portland, Ore.

GOOD AT PREACHING BUT
 POOR IN PRACTICE

The above doctrine is mighty easy to preach and not so easy to live up to.
 The very arguement used to induce immigrants to forsake old-country ideals, language and habits is system foisted upon the Indian races of America. The Bureaucratic reservation system perpetuates Indian languages

 Why ask foreign immigrants to get away from racial segre- gation and language yet compel the Indian to remain under that condition?

FROM ANCHORAGE TIMES


 Down in Southeastern Alaska recently a man fractured an In- dian Woman's skull, broke Sev- cral of her ribs and otherwise injured her because she refused to give him money or reveal the place where she had her money hidden. He also threatened Ter life. For this oHense he was sentenced to a term of five months in jail and fined $500; which suggests that it is safer in some sections of Alaska to com- init 6 vicious crime of that sort than it is to possess a pint of li- quor. Or it may be that the of fende in the case referred to was let off with a light sentence be- cause his victim happened to be an Indian woman.-Times. 2
