Political Observations

United States Commissioner c. ClauSen and Fred Nelson of Standard Oil fame, were Rust gard's prime ministers in Peters burg during the primaries.
 The Democratic vote in Peters burg increased B and 1-3 per cent over the primaries of 1928. Four Democratic ballots were cast.
 Bob Ketchison in a neighborly way took a good Republican vot- CT to the Scow Bay precinct and when he returned to town found the polls closed, Otherwise the Democratic vote would have in creased fifty per cent this year.
 Petersburg showed the politi- clans of Juneau that the politic- al schemes of the plunderbund was an insult to the intelligence of every right thinking voter in this town.

'Gird Your LOins

Prepare for a real battle in the general elections next November In the 1928 elections, former Senator Hunt of Ketchikan, with considerable anger over his not receiving the support of the Liberals, turned coat after a life time of being a Republican and voted and supported the Demo cratic ticket defeating Paul and Olts.
 MT. Gardner, present nominee, after being defeated in the Re- publican primary, threw his sup port to the Democrats.
 In the present primaries Rust gard, even before the campaigns had gotten under way, began his vituperations against Steel, de- liberately misrepresenting the le- gal residential status of this man who has meant more to the Territory than a half dozen oth- CTS.
 From current reports now go- ing the rounds, George B. Grigs- by has a better than 5O-5O break to be elected as Delegate to Congress, in event Wickersham is defeated. Men who voted for Rustgard have openly declared they have no intention to vote for him this fall. There will be a fine chance for the sporting politician to place bets either way before the first week of No- vember.

clared to be the cause of the breaking down of law and order. Rather the charge should be that the moral decay of officials has so depraved their minds and resistance that they cannot re- sist the pressure of those who benefit financially from this new American industry.

Rights of Liberty

A Well-knoWn man was in the bootlegging business, in the States and part of the time in Alaska. When officials interfer- ed with his operations there was a hue and cry that personal lib erty had been encroached upon and that too much of it was be- ing done. Therefore the Volstead law should be repealed.
 From time immemorial sex re- lations have been a problem that society has tried to meet. Ger tain restricted areas have usually been set apart by habitues and winked at by officials for the pli ance of this barter in huma l flesh all laws to the contrary notwithstanding.
 A man recently arrested Ter illegal cohabitation ra:Scu no cry of deprivation of personal libert 7 guaranteed him under the laws of tile land; nor dI.! his friends Right or wrong, that practice is general and the attendant evils are great. Mr. Recent Arrest is languiShing in jail as is his para mour Deprived by law of his personal liberty there is no hue nor cry of personal rights being taken from him.
 Wherein does the violation of personal liberty arise in thelaws of social morals and social drinking?

SALVATION IN WORK
From Oregonian, Portland, Ore.

From Oreg0nian, Portland, Ore.
 When the Indians themselves discover that their economic and social salvation lies only in work, there is hope of readjust- ing the red man to the conditions of a modern society may be on the way to early solution. An obstacle to earlier settlement of the relations between white and red has been reluctance of the latter to stop relying on the du- bious paternalism of a none too efficient bureaucracy.
 But it is mistake to lay most of the blame at the door of the Indian. He has done better than most of his critics know, if the disadvantages under which he has labOred be considered. Where as the old rationing system tend ed to pauperize, and the kind of education was unsuitable to practical needs, the Indian was barred by circumstances he could not control from initiating measures for his own relief. Per- haps the largest single obstacle to progress has been the notion, cherished until very recently, that no northern Indian could prosper. except as a farmer or a stockraiser. Now that it has been revealed that the race pos sesses aptitude for variety of trades, especially mechanics, the field has imn1easurGblly broad ened. The truth probably is that the Indians future lies in the same direction as that of his white fellow citizens. With re- cognition of this patent fact will come extinction of the reserva- tion system, development of In dian education under state aus pices and as rapidly as it can be done humanely withdrawal of government pecuniary support.

Q medley of anticipated ideas of former pedagogies. The system is being improved slowly but surely as the Brotherhood spurs the Bureau to much greater eff forts. Did the citizens of the Territory have to resort to this educational system we venture the assertion that they would send their children elsewhere for an educational opportunity. Yet there are those who do not agree that the Brotherhood is justified in demanding an equal educational opportunity for In dian children with that of other citizens, while admitting that most of the Indian children stand more in need of such an opportunity coming, ofttimeS from illiterate homes. Compare the standard system of books of the Territorial schools with the antiquated system of the Bu- .reau. generally; the building; the teachers. After being given a
 taste of the food of education is
 it to be wondered that they de-
 mand the best?

Parable of the Puppy
Humanity's Progress Must Be Guided by Kindly Intelligence
 Not by Blows


 On a grassy back-lot by a low board fence, two children were playing with a puppy. Stagger- ing on his newly discovered legs, the puppy attempted to climb the fence, seeking thrills in the great outside world.
 Each time the puppy tried to climb over the fence the children laughingly pulled him back.
 Stay with us and play, Gun ger,' pleaded the children.
 A dour- faced woman in the next lot looked on disapproving- y. The next time the puppy's pathetic little face appeared above the fence she hit out at ii with a red hand, knocking the animal back into it's own yard.
 "That'll learn yuh!" she rasp- td, and went into her house 5lamming the screen door.
 The children's indignation Jared. They gathered the pup 3y to them and excused it's con- duct.
 He just doesn't know any bet ter," they said. "He didn't know lie was doing wrong"
 The puppy, we think, repre- Sents humanity The children playing with it, are Father Time and Mother Nature, kindly guardians of a frail world.
 Humanity makes mistakes and there are those who are ready and eager to set it right with clip on,the ear or punch on the jaw. These, We think are like the dour-faced woman who hit the puppy.
 Humanity in it's world is like the puppy playing on the green ack-lot-knoWing little, under standing less. Under the patient hands of Father Time and Moth ar Nature it will grow, thru the centuries, to intelligent natur- ity.
 Cruelty used by ignorant, sell '1sh dictators, made by force tC obey laws it does not understand it will become eventually like . n1istreated puppy-a mean, vi cious hound that is a menace tC itself and to everyone else.

THE ALASKA SITUATION
 PAST AND PRESENT


 A couple of years ago at Yak utat, Mir. Charles w. Hawkes. worth, superintendent of the Bu- reau of Education in Southeast ern Alaska asked those people Why is it that Japan has made such a wonderful progress in it's position as a world power when Western civilization did not get to them much sooner than it did to the Alaska Indian? An old man, unlettered, untutor- ed arose and answered: Ever since the United States brought schools to us, it has limited our education to the fourth grade with old books discarded from other schools and teaching force more interested in drawing salaries and in their social life. But that with the growth and demands of the Alaska Native Brotherhood the system had been bettered till more children could advance even into the high school grades. And now with the system improved progress of the people would be even more noticeable.
 Comparative Teachers
 At one of the recent conven- tionS one of the Native teachers presented a resolution asking that no teacher, in the Bureau system, be employed who did not hold a territorial teachers certificate. This would have barred almost immediately a number of Native teachers. MT. HaWkeSWorth pleaded that the convention make an exception of this class of teachers as he as- serted there were several very capable ones on the force. The exception was made. During the discussion one speaker declared that ITS per cent of the teachers employed Dy the Bureau were without teachers certificate and could not qualify under the ter ritorial school laws to teach in the territorial schools" Later in pr1vate, MT. HaWkesWorth chal- lenged that statement and said that only 25 per cent could not qualify. under the territorial jaws. No school board in any part of Alaska will admit such a lack of qualification in it's teach ing force. Bad enough that the various boards have problems all their own in securing capable teachers and holding them.
 Housing Conditions
 With very few exceptions, the school buildings under the Bu- reau of Education are of the old type, croSslighted buildings, not in the best of upkeep. One year the Hydaburg City Council con- demned their schoolhouse, but considerable time elapsed before 1t was even made safe for use: the Sitka City Council condemn ed the Sitka school as unsafe unSanltary and a fire-trap," yet it was several years before a modern building was put in; for several years the Bureau rented a deIapjdated shack in Angoon for a schoolhouse and though there was the direst need of a decent building, it was several years before they secured one. There are other towns at the present moment that have Schoolhouses that would be a disgrace to any community. The fault is not altogether at the feet of the Bureau as it is very patent to the observer that this government has millions for bat tleships while the entire educa- tional system must limp along on skimpy appropriations.

give you q thorough general exami-

would demand internal adjustments

But there are also some very effec-

advise you to try. First of all, remem-
Der that In treating these pouches great
care should be taken so that the al
ready sagging tissues will not be
stretched. The crepe-like, baggy skin
needs to be filled out and frightened up

one teaspoonful of cream. In the
morning wash the face in cold water
and then apply the following astringent

Everyday Psychology

BY DR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Children remember names and faces
with a great deal more accuracy than
do adults A man at 40 who retains
this infantile ability Is said to have q
freak memory for names.
Now and then you flnd one. He may
be introduced to q score Of strangers
and come back the next day and desig-
nate each by the correct name.
Such a memory is unquestionably
convenient at times, even valuable But
it does not argue much for its posSessor S
general mental growth.
If we can believe Mark Twain, a
"freak" memory is q great misfortune.
According to that keen observer, "its
possessof cannot distinguish an interest
ing circumstance from an uninteresting
one. Moreover, he cannot stick to his
subject"
A normal development of memory for
names means O gradual substitution of
something else for the name. A person
becomes q personality. His name turns
out to be a mathematical abstraction,
something like q %, 169.
Place probably comes first among the
substitutes for names. Where did see
you before? That Is generally the first
question you ask Of a person you are
trying to place"
Vocational achievement probably takes
second place In the remembrance of
names. What one does or has done Is
associated with the name that stands
for ones personality instead of ones
person. what do you work att" Where
are you employed?" Such are the ques-
tions you put to an old acquaintance
you are trying to name"

the decorations would doubtless be
white roses and the fayOrs would be OF
the simplest. or there might be a
brides cake as q centerplece. This
cake would be cut by the bride.
The second table would seat the
mother and father Of bride, mother and
father Of bridegroom and the clergy
man and his wife.
Had tlnc5@r been q bridal party the
first table would have held the best
man and the maid of honor and close
relatives Of bride and bridegroom. Had
the wedding been more formal the
bridal party would have been larger.
In that case the close relatives of the
bride and bridegroom would not have
been seated at the table with the
wedding party.
If one large table were wanted for all
the guests the bride and bridegroom
could have been seated midway down
one side of the table, with the brides
mother and bridegroom's father at one
end and the brides father and bride
groom's mother at the other. The re-
manning guests would sit at remaining
places.
