BUY NOW"

A few years ago economists were telling us to save and have a nice little bank account today these same economists are telling us to Buy Now and Help bring back prosperity"
 A few years back the average man was able to spend and save. Today his earning power is apparently below his purchas- ing power. In thousands, aye, millions of instances, the aver age man has nothing with which to buy now to help bring pros perity back"
 The solution then is for those who have employing power to utilize idle labor to give it the earning power to "buy now" and this will bring back prosperity

ILLITERACY IN THE STATES

Illiteracy decreased in the State of Delaware B 1-3 per cent since 1920 There are 7,805 illiterates in that state accord ing to recent figures made pub lie by the Federal Census Blu reau. There are 1896 white il- literates and 3,496 Negro Hitter ates in Delaware and. 1892 for eign illiterates.
 If all of the states made such a showing in overcoming Hitter acy, it is pointed out that more than one half of the five million illiterates the United States would have learned how to read or write in some language. So far illiteracy in the United States has been reduced from six to four per cent. And still other foreign countries stand way ahead of the United States in the matter of literacy. This in spite of the vaunted civiliza- tion and educational advantages of this country.

SOME IMPRESSIONS OF AR A. N. E. CONVENTION BY
 AN OUTSIDER
 c. o. Parks.
0. o. Parks.

On November II to IS incluS- i've was held at Ketchikan Alas ka the annual grand convention 0f the Alaska Native Brother hood and it's auxiliary, the Alas ka Native Sisterhood.
 Probably nowhere else in the world can another such organi- zation be found. Primarily a fraternal order with it's active membership restricted to in clude only persons descended from the aboriginal races of North America, it's aim and pur- nose is to uplift all native peO- ples and to improve their condi- ion physically, morally, politi- cally, Intellectually. Hence the order must concern itself with such matters as compulsory ed Ucation; curricula and qualifi- cations of teachers in the feder- al bureau schools; denomina- tional schools; industrial
 chools; theright of native chill dren to attend territorial 2chools; publications; sanitation and hygiene; law enforcement, especially of liquor laws and the establishment of proper fa- cilities for law enforcement in the various villages Several of which are towns of 300 to 400 l1eople and 40 to 60 miles by gas boat from the nearest physi- clan, U. S. Commissioner or de- Duty marShaD; enactment of proper game laws and trapping iaWs, and the securing of req gonable fisheries regulations for he conservation of both popula- tion and fish. Another activity which was not contemplated from the beginning but which circumstances have forced on the organization is the investi- cation of nominees and the election of such officials as are believed to harbor no prejudice. This phase of the work, how ever must always be merely a means to an end, never an end in itself Such investigations are continuous and constant and the native people are ex- tremely loyal to those whom they can accept as friends. The convention recorded it's senti- ments in a number of serious re-

CIVILIZED AMERICA

There was a marked increase of crimes in general and par ticularly of murder in the Unit ed States during the first nine months of 1880. A survey re- gently made public by the De- partment of Justice reveals that the average of murders has riS- on from three per day at the beginning of the year to five per day in September. Chicago led the cities of the United States by having 282 or an avera@e of one murder a day, Philadelphia, the City of Broth erly Love had 109 during the same period; Detroit, the home of modern transportation was a close third with 104. The re- port reveals that there were an average of 150 burglaries dur ing this period with an average of more than 50 hold ups every A hours.

The Republican spent $6O,0OO in Nebraska to defeat Senator George w. Norris for reelection to the Senate. William Ritchie, Jr. Omaha attorney, testified before the Nye Senatorial Com mittee recently that the purpose of this expenditure was to de- feat Senator Norris. From the election returns it would appear that this money might just as we'll have been thrown over board for all the good it did to- ward defeating the progressive Senator.

 WHERE ARE THOSE PUP MILLS

Now that elections are over
 I've do not see the pulp mill press jtelling us any more stories of lnuIp mills coming to Alaska. We inaVe noticed in the past several
 elections that the Juneau Yam pire has sung the song of pulp
 mills prior to each election and
 warned the voters not to vote
 for men who would drive the pulp mills out before they enter : cd the territory. The pulp men l are still Investigating whether or not they can get all their
 power rights, lands and timber for nothing before they will spend a dollar in the country. In the meantime their program lis for the government to |%et every cent it can out of the little logger and mill man. Still these little fellows will vote to support the Vampire ticket of bunkum artists.
 The occasion of the remarks being caused by the following news note taken from the Seat tie press:
 Contract Let For Pulp Mill
 Contract for construction of a modern 150-ton bleached sul- phite pulp mill at Longview for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Com pany was awarded yesterday to Chris Kuppler's Sons, Seattle and Port Angeles contracting firm.
 This was announced yesterday by W. R. Kuppler, member of the firm, with offices in Seattle. Construction work will start early in December and will pro- vide work for between 100 and 150 men over period of ten months.
 Details of the plant plans were not disclosed by the con- tracting firm. It was learned, however, that the plant will be of concrete construction, along lines to the numerous other pulp mills erected by the same contractors in other North . western cities.
 In awarding the contract, the Weyerhaeuser company fulfilled a statement of several months

LITTLE ONES SUFFER

Grace Abbot head of the Chill dren's Bureau of the Depart ment of Labor has issued a note in which she says:
 "Our experiences in the last period of depression show that the children suffered most" the cost of unemployment not only in terms of privation, and hard ship, but in health and lives With little or no money to buy food. the children's milk supply was cut down, and in many cases cut off entirely Thou sands of children were under nourished, and their health per- manently injured by the short age Or lack of proper food. The same thig is happening today, and national economy makes it imperative that we come to the relief of the children before it is too late.'
 And the cost of unemploy- ment and cheap labor in Alas ka have the same effects as they do in the states. It is the little ones who are made to suf- fer Just bear that in mind and those little ones are not all Indian children by any means. Which is something else to think about.

LADY GODIvAS

The angel city of California has been having an epidemic oi Lady GodivaS riding horseback n their city park. Birdie paths of one of the large parks have
 been the courses of garmentless riders who were even a bit more daring than the gentle Godiva for she had ankle-length
 tresSes with which to cover her charms and the girls of the angel city are bob-hairad. And
 then too, other undraped young women have been found in the park who did not even have the horses to ride. All of which is
 made public by the park com
 mission of Los Angeles.
 Says the report signed by Joseph s. Young, foreman of the playground and transmitted tc
 his superior: "The lack of cloth ing by these young women is not the thing we are primarily interested in, though that's bad enough" says the report of the Engineer in charge of the park system which plainly disclosed that he did not think it en- hances the landscape. We are most vitally concerned in the fact that they were smoking We don't want a disastrous forest fire in Griffith Park What we are asking for is a bet ter patrol for the park. Either it should be closed up tight at sunset, or else patrolled during the later hours"
 The foreman's report disclos- led that he recently encountered two young women and two young men nude, riding horse back through the park and smoking. Previously, they had been bathing in the public pool at the boys camp. On another occasion, he wrote, he found two nude, itoXicated young ladies in the park, who had been given liquor by two young men and left in the park"
 Yes, Alaska is plenty good enough for us. When the nude habit reaches this neck of the Northland, we propose to move up among the glaciers where we can enjoy Gods beauty without hefouling our minds with the indecencies of mankind.

AMERICAN LANGUAGES

There are 76 root languages a.
 mong the American Indians in the United States and 400 dia-
 lects. This aside form the sion
 language. In Alaska there are
 five distinct root languages TSimpean, Haida, Thlinget, ,Aleut
 and Eskimo. The first three have very little variation within the tribal limits though colo quial expressions may be pecu- liar to each locality. The Aleuts speak the Russian language or it's variations and the Eskimos have variations of the root language in their several tribes. The difference between the Eskimo languages is very strong in that tribes but a short distance from another cannot understand the language of their neighbors. With the Thin get the language is universal from Cape Fox to Yukatat and Cordova. The Indians on the Copper River and on the Stikine River to a limited extent carry the Thlinget language and un- derstand it when spoken to.
