DISCUSSES MUSIC
 FOR KIWAN|S CLUB
Everyone Born With Sense Of
 Appreciation, Hahn Says

Getting a man who has not been educated 10 the higher musica standards to enjoy a grand opera IS like giving q copy of Shakespeare to a boy who wants 10 read Diamond Dick, said George Hahn. newspaper man, composer and music critic, talking 10 the kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel today.
 MT. Hahn, who is editorial write.' for the Herald, has written com positions which have been published in Boston and other cities, orchcs- tras have played his works and d short time ago a radio hroa dCasting corporal ton offered some of his mas terpieccs to the unseen audience."
 He opened his address today by sic there is for discussion and the impossiblty of attempting to treat more than a slight portion of it in any one address. He said many per sons regard a musician as peculiar person, one of high standing but of a class apart.
 Tt is impossible" he said, flor many persons to realize that a thor ough musician must have as much on his mind as a first class archi- teCt, engineer or inventor"
 He explained how musicians are honored in foreign countries, and took occasion to criticize the GUS tom in America Of singing the words of grand opera in other lan- guages. He told of q young man in Chicago, an American. who recent ly completed grand opera for the Civic Opera company of Chicago the words in English. Tho words then were translated into French. "Will somebody please tell me" demanded the speaker, "why the English language isn't good enough for grand opera ."
 The speaker referred 70 the fact that in many countries the opera is sung in its original tongue. but add 2d that the original tongue does not apply when the native tongue is Russian"
 Referring 10 cases where wives akc their husbands to grand opera. when the latter do not enjoy it, he aid il is ridiculous 10 expect a man q [ r-I-T q . d |, education is limited.
 He dwelt at length on the dcvel- 'pment or symphony scores and heir playing and added that a per son cannot enjoy a high class sym phony unless he or she is in good physical condition.
 He denied what he termed the general belief that the average per- on without a musical education has 10 conception Of musical value. ! Everyone is born with an instinctive of good music and mel 'dy. he explained.
 He caused some amusement by ronlcaI discussion of the business 'f popular sones.'
 He explained how a song is made popular by plugging" Calling at ention 10 the Stein song, sung by he club just previous 10 his talk he aid the authors Of that song refus- d 10 buy back the copyright for $50 {. md 1t remained on d dust shelf for 5 years, Now it earns more than .5o minute, he averred
 He tore 10 pieces the fabulous . ums said 10 he paid great artists in . Hollywood and other places. and . .dded that half 10 one-third of hose salaries are in stage money"
 Owing to the illness of Hugh Me ionna, president, who is confined to ' lis bed with an attack Of grip Past | President J. NJ. Ward presided.

and then wept bitterly. We hope
 that the Gateway may repent it's
 error while there is yet time.
 The welfare of the Territory of
 Alaska is not so much involved
 in the welfare of corporations
 whose stockholders reside be-
 yond her borders and who know
 little and care less about the ul-
 innate destiny of this Territory;
 whose slogan is Get the mon ey." Wiring Alaska dry and turn her people into paupers while turning her resources into divi- 6ends. And what part, of those find their way over the cash registers of Alaska mer- chants? Is it not apparent that the welfare of this territory is more directly and vitally involv- ed in the welfare of our work CTS and fishermen? Can mer@ thrive on customers with empty pockets? Can banks thrive where merchants must carry their customers from year to year on their boks? And is it necessary to remind the Gate way, and others, that one plus one is two?

HATS OFF TO O'MALLEY"

l Rk1A OE 1o "
 Eddie Morrissey of the Ketchi- kan Chronicle says Hats off to O'Malley." The operation of the Chronicle to a point of bankruptcy is a condition re- sultant from O'Malley's regula- tions Hoping to secure remun- erative reward, Eddie has kissed OMalley's left foot and at the next opportunity, he will kiss OMalley's other foot.
 In Ketchikan this year it ap- pears to us that there is proof conclusive that MT. OMalley's regulatory policies have been the right ones."- ."-Chronicle.
 Ed Morrison was arrested by a warden for illegal fishing. One warden said that Morrison could fish from marker to marker and so he did A district warden came along and arrested Morri- son, declaring that fishing oper- atiOns should be on a triangle
 Morrison wanted the case to come to trial so the warden said that in this event the case would be transferred from Hydaburg to Juneau and then to Ketchi- kan district where it belonged. No trial till late in September.
 Says the warden, If you plead i guilty we will let you off With a l fine of $500, but if you fight the case we will postpone trial until September" Morrison plead guilty.
 Hats off to OMalIey," the czar of Alaska who uses the dis trict attorney and the courts of Alaska to blackmail decent hon. est Alaskans who are trying to make living without having to be criminals.
 Another boat travelling up
 Chath2m Straits. more than a mile offShore from a fishing stream, was stopped by a tool of O'Malley's and ordered into Tyee where he stayed for five days. A district warden came along and after considerable in ', veStigation, released the boat.
 But the boys had lost a weeks fishing. Hats off to O'Malley. At totem Bay, the warden ad- viSed @ crew of fishermen that they could not fish within 60
 yards of the creek markers. Hats off to O'Malley-anything goes, anytime, anyplace to keep the fishermen as base slaves. Hats off to the Czar whose authority supercedeS that of the founda- |tional principles of a democrat
 ic government under which we are supposed to be- Again we say, Hats off to O'Malley."
 A fisherman bought a net at Angoon. Left it on his boat lanchored in Hootznahoo Inlet while he went to work at Foods bay. The warden comes along, sees and measures net, finds 1t short. Orders boat taken to Juneau, so the crew, too lazy to bull up anchor cut the line and threw it overheard. Boat dam aged $500 worth towing it to Ju- neau. Owner hears of arrest, goes to Juneau and protests but is told he must pay a fine of $400 but if he entered a plea of guilty Eh he would be let off with a fine Iof $250. To save the boat and the heavier fine the owner took the blackmail fine and borrowed the money with which to pay the fine. Hats off to O'Malley" the legalized blackmailer of re- Sident fishermen.

IMPRESSION ALL WRONG


 find varying shades of editorial sentiment. Some there are with vision enough and faith enough to look beyond the sordidneSS and pettineSS of the struggle with organized greed and aver ice and injustice which has fac ed each of the new territories in turn, to a time when right and justice and equity shall have been recognized and fairly established. They hope to see in Alaska a commonwealth of reasonably peacable, somehow contented, and fairly prosper ous citizens. Others have brand ed themselves With the mark of Cain, and AnaniaS. and made themselves the unwilling (and Witting) puppets of those who care naught for the future of Alaska except that they may wiring dividends from her re- sources and her people. They l'Se such weapons as they hold, to betray, to brOW-beat, to mur- der, for arson, and the blood of the weak and defenSelesS cries forth from the ground. And then it seems, alas, there are some, who, like nobody and nothing else on earth, they appear to give aid and comfort to both sides and then betray both sides. In their editorial efforts, they build little forts of sand and then kick them down again.
 The Seward Gateway, in re- cent editorial under the caption Impression All Wrong" for no reason at all and apparently without justification, attacks the Alaska Indian and his econOm- ic position. We have tried to read between the lines some pos Sible excuse for the GateWay's attack, but finding none, we must analyze some of the state ments at their face value, in the hope of placing our esteemed contemporary again on the main track and facing it toward Utopia.
 Faced by cold facts" says the Gateway, "the Alaska Indian is a darn sight better off than the majority of white folk. We don't begrudge them this but it does make one sick and tired to con- tinually listen to the reams of SobS in behalf of AlaSka'S red men," < One hears of the al leged terrible condition of the natives in Bristol Bay and thru out the Westward in general. Pure bunk! Where else in this wide world can one find a place where they can make sufficient Of the socalled filthy lucre" in one or two months to suffice for the remainder of the year?"
 Where else in this wide world is there a people forced to exist an entire year on two months earnings? Once the fishing season lasted much longer. The reason why it does not last two months longer now, should be apparent to the Gateway. In the First Division in 1880 most of the fish were actually caught in the last two weeks of the season, but the fishermen spent other weeks, much gasoline and grub, looking for salmon where. there. none. And after the. fishing season, what can the average native do to make a dOllar?. And for that matter, what can the white fish erman do to make a dollar? Once he could get through the winter by trapping furs. Now the Op- en season is cut. (why?) to. a bare thirty days during the most inclement and severe part of the year, and those days are set for a time when no furbearerS are moving; and at a time when it is we'll nigh impossible to. keep any kind of trap free of frost.
 Where cannery men carry them on their books for years.
The Alaskan., 1930-08-29

And why has fishing been poor? Was it the Indian with a dOry and gillnet who depleted the salmon runs? The Indians have always lived by fishing but the operation of fish traps is a game for rich companies only. The Indian who must be carried on books from year to year obvious Iy cannot invest twenty or thirty thousand dollars ill trap. And if they could get the trap, they would not be permitted to Op- crate. Their traps would be found to interfere" with cer- tain traps which for some reason must be favored. And is it only the Indian who suffers? Is it only the canneryman who car Ities the Indian and white fisher men on the books? How about the independent merchant? If the fisherman prOspers, does he alone prosper?
 Where employers seek them !Out to give work
 There were approximately B. GOO FiIipinOs working in and around Ketchikan this season in the various cannerieS. They were hired because they were cheap. One group said they were paid SSO and board FOR THE SEASON.
 Where they are paid spot cash every night for the work accomplished that day"
 The season closed in this Divi- sion a week ago. Many of the 3shermen and labOrers are still waiting, idle, under heavy ex- pense, for their settlements. 1t has been the practice of the can ners to delay settlement to hold fishermen and families at the 'anneries where they are com pelled to purchase their supplies at the cannery store at eXOrbit- ant prices in competition with local business concerns.
 Where there are no strings attached to their money"
 Living iii company cabins that would be disgrace in any com munity, trading at company stores and paying prices that guarantee 100 per cent profit, fishing with company boats and company gear with shares taken for use of those boats and at a lesser price than paid for pri- vate gear or trap fish, and car ried on company books from year to year!
 Where, in case of want or sickness, every consideration is given them"
 We hope that may sometime be true. We can easily cite not 3 few instances where very slight consideration or none whatever was given.
 Where conditions are such that natives. have. under. the care. of the. cannerieS, been taught to save money, to build good homes, to live. right. and thus find contentment and pride in their surroundings. x"
 :. Not exactly. taught. rather forced to live on less than suf- ficient to keep the body nourish- !ed-they get so. little. money. It. is our. observation that the 'S"good homes" are just such kind of homes as you can expect the families to live in who must be carried on books from year to year. It is our further obSer- vation that cannery life demor- alizes the Indian youth with the scum and off-scourings from the water fronts of the states. The percentage of venereal cases has increased among the natives with the importation of moral and physical degenerates. It is our certain knowledge that the Sheldon Jackson School at Sit ka and the Alaska Native Bro therhOod which are the agen- x~-1.:z

GILL|GAN WON I
APOLOGIZE

Accordingly. / am not for.
warding your letter to Pres
ident Carusi. L shall, however.
take the earliest opportunity to
advise him of your wish to dis
cusS the matter Of under-age
kindergarten when it seems ap-
prOpriate for the board to CON
slider that question"
1t was this part of super
intendent Ballou's letter to Miss
Catherine Watkins, kindergarten
director, that drew the wrath OF
Henry Gilligan, member of the
Board of Education.
Gilligan claims that this VIC
lates a board rule which states:
All communications to the
Board of Education from any
of its employees shall be trans
mitted in regular order to the
superintendent Of schools, who
shall present the same to the
board with or without his ap-
prOvaI.
The apology which Gilligan
said would be forthcoming if the
contents of Ballou's letter just
flied it. will not be made.
DR.. Ballou said he had no in
tention of acting further until he
heard from Gilligan. He said
that he had taken both the let
ter addressed by Miss Watkins to
DR.. CaruSi to the chairman OF
the board before he replied 10
the teacher.
DR.. Carusi admitted he had
seen Ballou at the time the letter
was received and had not &C
cepted the letter since DR.. Bal
LOUIS approval was asked in the
letter, and. DR.. BallWu did not in
dorSe her appearance.
Representative Frank L. Bow
man plans to introduce into the
House a resolution providing that
the Board of Education shall at
no time attempt to prevent
teachers from free discussion
with members of Congress. A
similar bill introduced by Senator
Blaine, is already before the Sen
ate.

= TEAM

Brooke Grubb, the fiery man
ager Of the Silver Spring Giants,
Is another of those hard working
Sandlot individuals whose only
aim in life is to promote sports
activities for an organization un-
der his hand.
The latest Brooke has done to
bring in the Shekels for his Sill
yer Spring Giants is the schedul-
ing of the New York Bloomer
Girls for Sunday at his balliWick
beginning at 3 o'clock. The Sill
yer Spring Field is located at
Georgia and Alaska Avenues
Northwest.
Grubb feels that he has booked
a worthy attraction and he has,
as it's very seldom team OF
women are here to play baseball.
There have been women bowling
teams and women's basketball
teams, but Women's baseball teams
not very often.
The New York Bloomer Girls
have been organized since 1910
and have been under the man
agement of Margeret Mabel since
1919. Each year for the past 10
seasons the team has toured the
country hitting practically all
States within 1000 miles OF New
York. The team has been a
prime favorite wherever it has
played and it's appearance at the
Silver Spring Field is certain to
be a sure-fire attraction for fans
who will journey out in that oil
rection.
Ethel Condor, 19-year-old out.
fielder, is the star of the team,
having Joined it only recently,
while others of older prominence
include Babe McCuttin, ToOts
Andres, Helen Demarest, Ruth
Doyle, Mae Rohr, Evelyn Lynch,
Rose Roth, Peggy O'Neil and
Maggie Riley.
Manager Grubb will have all Of
his dependable players in the Sill
yer Spring lineup, which have
helped him compile commend
able record in games so far this
season. Stevens will be on first;
Trippy, former Western High
School luminary, at second; Dick
williams on third; and Horns
berger, Clark and Schrider in the
outfield. George Francis will in
all probability hurl. with Gichner,
another former Western High
School player, behind the bat.
Manager Grubb will play short
stop.
The Giants, by the way, have
defeated such teams as the
Hyattsville Stars, Huntingtown
and Tank Corps, of Camp Meade,
Md, and have been nosed out
only by the Union Printers and
defeated soundly by the Mohawks
earlier in the season.
AS an added attraction, Grubb
has arranged for the Takoma
Tigers and Bethesda Firemen to
play at l o'clock in a Montgom-
cry county section game Of the
Capital City League. This will
give the fans a lot of baseball
in that one park for one day.
