HENRY w. CLARK WRITES A
 BOOK

Henry w. Clark is a fine ex- ample Of what a man of Indian descent can do if afforded a chance. He was born in Ketchi- kan, Alaska. His father was a noted lawyer of early days, and his mother a member of one of the noted families of the Wran- gell Tribe of Indians. Her fath- CT was a real pioneer by the name of Chouquette.
 Henry Clark finished high school in Seattle, Washington, and then went to Harvard Uni versity where he was graduated with highest honors. He was al- SO a great footballer, and now holds the position of Assistant Director of Athletics at Harvard.
 Alaskans are proud of him and We hope that his success will in spire other Alaskan Natives to follow his example, difficult job no doubt, but worthy of en- ulation.
 We hope to read his new book. "A History of Alaska" written as
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-06-15

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution tells the story in simple words: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the juris- diction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside"
 Is Alaska part of the United States? Of course.
 Were these Indians born in Alaska? Of course.
 When born, were they born "subject" to the jurisdiction of the United States? Of course.
 What more can they do? Noth- ing.
 Were they then full citizens without any further "enabling act" on the part of the Alaska Legislature or the United States? Of course.
 Virtually every question that could be raised concerning the Natives of Alaska was answered in the case of U s. V Wong Kim (169 US 649) this being a devel- opment of the principles laid down in the case of Elk Will kins (112 US 1OD.
 What was the act of 1915 of the Alaska Legislature?
 Nothing. And it was so recog- nized by Judge Jennings of the District Court for the First Divi- sion of Alaska.
 It was useful in an argument Something like a passport would bel with "deep sea lawyers" who abound in Alaska. But as an act of "enfranchisement" it was and is nothing, and should have no place in history of Alaska"

his thesis for his doctors degree.
 We regret that advance notices indicate that MT Clark lacks true understanding of the legal status of the Alaskan Indian and the effect certain laws passed by the Legislature have, as ap- pears in the following excerpt:
 In 1915, it (the Alaska Leg islature) enfranchised Alaskan natives under strict conditions which were made so by the in slstence of the Indians them selves"
 The facts are these--that the Alaska Legislature has no power to "enfranchise" Indians or any, body else That is the function of the federal government alone, and it is so well known that we wonder how MT. Clark could have made such a statement.
 We realize that the confusion that exists regarding the status of the Indians in the United States proper has made the Alas kan situation difficult to the man on the street." But the confusion rapidly disappears when the law of citizenship is studied

and numerous others.
Many Works in Capital.
Mr.. Partridge's art needs no introduc-
tion to Washington. OF particular In
terest is his bust Of Chief Justice Fuller
of the Supreme Court, bust Of Father
Stafford at St. Patrick's Church, and
two works at the Corcoran Art Gallery,
o life-sized head entitled Nearing
Home and q marble relief. He Is also
credited with q handsome portrait re-
lief at Arlington, to mention another
of his many works here.
In addition to his work as q sculptor,
Mr.. Partridge had written "Art for
America" THE Long Life Of o Sculp-
tor" "The Technique Of Sculpture" "
1.-THE Angel of Clay" Nathan Hale,
the Ideal Patriot" and THE Cars
Gift"
Mr.. Partridge made his home in
Washington during much Of his artistic
career because, in his opinion, the Ma
tional Capital was more beautiful than
Paris and combined the best features
of many Of the finest cities Of the
world.
Mr.. Partridge found the inspiration
of many of his outstanding achieve
ments in sculptNEe in American his
tory and biography. His statue Of Gen.
Grant. in Brooklyn. was declared by
Grants son, Gen. Frederick Dent
Grant, to be the finest portrait" Of his
father In existence.
Kaufman Memorial Noteworthy.
The Kaufman Memorial was his
first large work of an ideal type and
was erected in 1897. The universal ap-
peal of the memorial makes 1t suS-
ceptible Of various interpretations. It
is frequently compared or contrasted
with Saint-G -Gaudens' adams Memo
RIAL" the mysterious shrouded figure,
also in Rock Greek Cemetery.
Mr.. Partridge's father died when he
was il years old. His mother desired
him to give the plastic arts his undi-
vided attention. She urged him to
model the head of an old Scotch-Irish
woman nearly 90 years old. It Is now
one Of the most interesting Of all the
exhibits in the Corcoran Gallery.
Mr.. Partridge's ability to catch the
real likeness Of individuals In his por-
trait busts is particularly noticeable In

ton to nullify the sale.

ton under other provisions Of the act.
This woult result In actual continusnce
OF exclusion Of those Of Japanese blood,
as they are not eligible for citizenship.
Mr.. johnson said he regarded his
move as gesture to friendly power.
He explained that under the exclusion
provisions Japan has had q nominal
quota of 100. These, too, have been
restricted to whites or blacks born In
Japan, who, under the natural origins
clause Of the immigration act. are re-
garded as japanese. Mr.. Johnson's
proposal would serve TO increase the
quota to approximately 100 under the
proportionate basis.
Mr.. johnson said he has had his pro-
posed amendment in mind for some
time, but his reading today of the
speech Of Mr.. Hanihara made on the
occasion Of q farewell dinner for wil-
liam r. Castle, jr., special American
Ambassador to Japan, had prompted
him to hasten action.
