THORN IN C, O,P.
CHIEFS SIDES
They'd Like to See Him OFF
Ticket, but Are Afraid
to Bring Pressure.

By Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. - Vice
President Curtis reported decision
to run again for his present Office
rather than the senate, has caused
some concern in circles close to the
administration, it was learned to-
day.
Although high G. o. P officials
dare not move to ease Curtis off the
ticket, any more than they care to
antagonize drys by removing Simeon
D. Tess as national chairman, it is
understood they would like to see
younger man as President Hoo
ver's running mate next year. They
had hoped that Curtis himself
would solve the problem by seeking
his old seat in the senate.
Curtis has been loyal to Hoover
in all things, it is admitted, but
it is felt in certain quarters, which
usually reflect the presidential
view, that the party will need a
more popular and aggressive figure
in the 1882 fight.
Curtis will be 70 next January,
although he does not look his age,
and it is doubtful if he will be able
to shoulder the burden of the next
campaign as he did in 1928. More
intensive effort, it appears, will be
necessary on behalf of Hoover than
was required three years ago.
Moreover, should Hoover be re-
elected, it is feared Curtis age
might prove a handicap in presid-
ing over the tight and turbulent
senate lineup. There has been
some mumbling against the Vice
Presidents tendency to use the
gavel during debates, and frequent
ly he has shown irritation without
bringing order into the chamber.
Numerous leaders would like to
see some one like Patrick J. Hurley,
secretary of war, or Theodore
Roosevelt, Governor of Porto Rico,
as the vice. presidential candidate
Both are young, aggressive and
rousing speakers of the old-fash-
Toned type.

Next Sunday is Mothers Day and it will make any of us feel doubly chesty when Sundays sun arises to know that some little gift is all ready for her.
 Small chance we'd have. in- deed, of telling you what a swell girl your mother is, so we just pause for a moment in the years mad rush, to ask Gods richest blessing on your mother and ours.
 Mother does not expect ex- travagant gifts, but she may feel just little hurt (even tho we'd never know it) if we neglect to tender on Mothers Day, those token of love and reverence in appreciation of that abiding faith and that abounding, un- faltering love which only moth CTS can bestow.

LITERACY LAWS

The purpose of the Dimond- Boyle rOtative ballot and liter acy test law is to disenfran- chise the Indian vote. It is not a literacy test by any means and It was not passed with any in- tent of protecting the constitu- tional guarantees of every citi- zen. Where was Troy who now seeks friendship with the h. dian when his friends were pass ing this law?
 We challenged Boyle to intro duce the New York literacy law the most stringent law in any state, if he wanted sincerely tc sanctify the ballot. He showed -:.S brand Of statesmanship tc be of the peanut variety and his purpose only to curtail the vote of his opponents.

JUST AN IDLE GESTURE

In line with facts set forth relative to the management of Alaska's timber resources and cutting regulations, Represent ative Frank Foster introduced the memorial to Congress pray ing for relief. Then he forgot all about this brain storm and let it lay in committee without report until just before final ad lcurnment, he withdrew the bill with the consent of the House.
 He was afraid to get even a re- cord vote on it. And such is tk,, failing of these statesmen, they fear shadows. political boogey- men and thereby allow a scant but blatant minority to continue dominating the affairs (. the Territory.

When Senator Dimond was trimming his political sails to catch the breezes which waited the Indian vote, Representative Ziegler promised, Doc Walker and I will deliver you the SUD- port of the Indians," so Dimond stood without change in his po- sition.

MT. Ziegler has elected himself as chief of the Indian tribes and he will deliver their vote. Don't make us laugh. We want to be serious about this.

I KISS IN TIME SAVES NINE

Cur citizens have a right to prescribe standards for voting citizenship, for admittance to public schools, etc., and it is uI to these who want these privi- leges and responsibilities to caeet the required standards Juneau Empire.
 What a conte'nptlb1e Iie!.
 Editor Troy knows very well that no state or Territory has any right to pre- or prescribe any H-andards for a special people that are not of general applica- ton. The Americanism of just such creatures as John w. Troy makes us ashamed that We are American and makes us look at Canada's management of it's Indian citizens with a greater Ggree of satisfaction.
 We can point to instances where children of Filipino Jap, Mexican and Chinese were ad- mitted to the public schools while Indian children unsullied by intermarriage, were refused admittance to the same schools. Education is the right of every child and no man has the right to say to another, "Your chill dren shall not have the same educational opportunity that mine have"
 Whenever a man of the Troy type offers his hand in friend ship, We wonder what he is fish, ing for. What have we that Troy and his friends want that they offer us the kiss of a Judas?

Then when was sick and you nursed me and stood long hours of vigil as no nurse could do, fighting to give strength to that vital spark Of life which you went down in 70 the Valley of the Shadow of Death to give life to. And then when I became what I thought was a man, you guided me and IlllOCd IIiC dllO OIOuSI1U IIlC ouC ;nto the uncharted waters of fife with vision of decent man hood of being something worth while.
 What I am, that l am because of your unfailing love. If I have fallen short of your meas ure it was because nature did not give me more of you. As thoughtless years turn back I think more of you and of your self-sacrif1ce in trying to make me the man of your ideal.
 Mother Mine, I have no gift for you. You are beyond the c}ft of mere man. My only hope, my only prayer, is that I too may measure up that l may give you joy in the Land Beyond.

that a contract should be award ed on competitive bids to private contractors Inquiry at the De- partment of the Interior brot out the fact that there had been some delay in arranging fhis construction, for which the sum Of 5000 had been appro- priated, and which amount was only available until June 30, 1881. As a consequence officials in Alaska had advised that the work be performed by the Alas ka Railroad, as the fund would 1 then be available for two years. The matter was taken up last winter with the Comptroller General and he decided that the $35,000 could be transferred from the Educational Bureau to the Alaska Railroad, which was done by the Treasury Depart inent. The contention now is, without regard to the wisdom If having the work done under the direction of the Railroad, that there is not time now to construct the building by receiv- ing bids from private contract ors, and unless the appropria- tion is to lapse, the building must be done direct by the gov ernment.

 Seeking Coal Contracts
 Bartley Howard, of Anchor age, president of the Alaska Ma tanuska Coal Company, reached Washington last Wednesday and will be here a few days confer ring with the departments, on matters concerning coal con- tracts. ..
 Secretary of the Interior Will bur has given a decision on . question raised by Anchorage people in connection with re- leasing of coal units in the Ma tanuska coal field. A lease was canceled by court proceedings because of a default of the les see, which left about $8,OOO in labor and bills unpaid. Now that new leases are under considera- tion it was thought that a new lessee might be required to as sume the indebtedness of the first lessee, on the ground that the development work done by this labor has proved of value to the coal units. The Secretary states that he would be pleased to see the wages paid, yet there is no authority of law to require a subsequent lessee to pay off the debts of a former lessee.
 100 Yaks for Alaska
 When Senator Robert B. How ell was in Alaska last summer, he observed with much interest he Yaks that were in the neighborhood of the Agricultural College, where they were being cross-bred with Galloways. There are comparatively few of these animals in America or Canada, but they abound in large numbers in the mountain ous regions of Tibet. These can be brought to Vladivostok or Leningrad, Russia, and shipped by steamer to New York and there transported to Seattle, at a total cost of less than $500 each. After study of the situ- ation, Senator Howell believes that Yaks could he placed 1n the interior country east of F airbanks, where they would thrive and prove of great bene- fit to the Natives. The latter depend on caribou for much of the;:-' livelihood, but the caribou IS not entirely dependable. Yaks are domestic animal and sub- sist on the country It is the idea of Senator Howell and Ern- est Walker Sawyer that Yak herd could be maintained near Fairbankas and the rapid in
