GOOD OLD THANKSGIVING

Some people can't quite see what
they have to be thankful for on the
annual Thanksgiving holiday this
year. They have perhaps lost
money, or been out of work more or
less, and life seems a bit dark.
They should look around and see
what others are having to meet
Travellers returning from Europe
say that our people have no concep-
tion of the hard times prevailing
over there. The number of unem-
ployed in Germany is almost as
many as we have, while our popula-
tion is twice as big. England has
nearly half as many unemployed as
we, while its population is only one
fourth as much.
The United States is said to be
suffering from poverty, yet 25,OOO,-
900 automobiles are running around
the country, the majority of them
possessed by people of quite mod
crate means. If they are going to
the poorhouse, they are going there
i'll their own cars.
Most people really have a great
deal to be thankful for. In spite of
all difficulties, no country ever had
an average standard of living any,
thing as high as ours. The millions
of homes nicely equipped with radios
and pretty furniture, we'll lighted,
well heated in winter, would look
like paradise to the average strug-
Cling family in England and Ger
many.
Our country gives magnificent op-
portunities for education. The
humblest family can have it's chill
dren trained at public expense, and
given an excellent start in life.
Abundant facilities for improving
our own capacities are offered by
10000 newspapers, our great maga-
zine literature, and libraries over
flowing with books.
Our generous country stands
ready to help all the needy. If any
fail to get that help, it is because
Of their own too great pride. Surely l
The people of Delaware should be l
grateful for homes in a country [
which provides all these benefits. b

design to decorate them with ink de-

parents come and see them.
Miss Mcqueen, our music teacher,
visited our schools Thursday and
taught us some new, songs. She
usually comes once a month and we
enjoy having her so much we wish
/ we could have her with us oftener.
In the sixth grade Myrtle Cover
dale and Margaret Hart have finish

Rome.
The competition betkeen the girls
and boys of the fifth and sixth
grades for good attendance is up-to-
date-the girls are in the lead. In
the subject of geography we find
that the ships with South American
exports are leaving the ports laden
heavily with South American cargo.
We hope that they will reach their
ports safel yand in the best of con-
ditiOn.

week.

TRAP SYSTEM WRONG

It is being reported in Wran- gell that when Commissioner O'Malley was there, he said, T have come to the conclusion that ! have made a mistake in my trap policy. The runs and es, exponent to Anan Creek shows conclusively the destructive pol icy of the traps. I intend gradu- ally to eliminate these traps"
 Take it or leave it for what it is worth. To us it does not mean anything for we have seen too many officials talk for home con sumption or political effect.
 But, if O'Malley really is be- ginning to see the light, all glory to him-if he can work out his convictions. MT. Ball, former Commissioner of Fisheries also came to the conclusion that the trap system was destructive and when he became too kindly to the fishermen, was transferred to other fields.

POVERTY AND SOCIAL

There were reported in New York City alone, more than 100,- GOO unemployed women and their condition reported as being pathetic"
 "The combination of long-con- tinued unemployment and wage cutting when work is finally se- cured have forced many thou sands of girls to lower and lowec standards of living" was the re- cent report of the Welfare Coun- cil of New York.
 Many girls try to save rent and to seek rooms in poorer neighborhoodS, often with dis distressing results. Many cf them are without funds, rela- t.ves or bank accounts"

 With an overabundance of virtually all commodities ne- cessary to supply the material needs of organized society, we find ourselves confronted by in dustry on part time and conse- quent unemployment to an ex- tent unprecedented in recent years.
 And these unemployed are greatly in need of the very com. modities of which there is such la great oversupply. Production and consumption of goods are quite evidently out of adjust ment.

CONSERVATION OF SALMON

."I am confident. that. Com missioner. Henry O'Malley of tho United States Bureou of Fisher ies, has solved your salmon con servation problem and is rapidly restoring the runs to norma size," thus spake Senator Wal lace H. White, author of tA,o White Fisheries Law which gov ernS in Alaska.
 Truly a wonderful observation. We mind when Senator Whit investigated the fisheries prob lem in Petersburg just recently He got off of O'Malley's yacht walked up to Wheeler Drug Storc and borrowed a match, walked over to the cable station and in sisted that a message be Serl over the wires for him after th5 regular sending hour at night, walked down to Oscar Nichol- sons house (Oscar being super~ intendent of the P. A. F. call nery), back to the boat and or to Juneau.
 He found what he wanted tC |find-complete satisfaction from those who benefit by the dis criminations under and the vio- |lations of the White Fisherie: law.

WAGES AND PROSPERITY

The only economic answer to mass production is a mass con- sumption.
 Lower prices and higher wag- es will give to mass production he necessary mass consumption 70 make it necessary to make it a permanent process.
 Wages and salaries are the 9nly economic means the great mass of the people have for se- curing control, or acquiring pas session of commodities"
 This statement is made by Dr r. J. Warne in the August issue )f the Review of Reviews, under he caption of "A Plea for Eco ,omic Intelligence"
 Does this stateemnt contradict the assertion of this publication which declares that the more fishermen employed and the more they earn, the better the financial condition of every business in the Territory.
 In Alaska, 5000 seiners and net men fish salmon for a living. An average of five dependents makes total of 15,000 depend ent on the fisheries for food and clothing supplies, education and medical aid, etc.
 Canada with half the produc- tion of salmon, employees 5000 fishermen or a total of 45,000 de- pendent uAon the fisheries for living expenses.
 The fishermen who earns noth ing can spend nothing. But , fishing population of 10000 men in Southeastern Alaska alone would mean an eating popula- tion of 50,000. Fifty thousand in Southeastern Alaska woul1 mean much to every business that is in operation.
 But listen further: "The in- duStrialist and political states men must know and act upon the facts of the economics Ot consumption" Dr. Warne con- tinues.

CRASHING FOR LAND

 Some few Juneauites, however. have greedily eyed the old Aux Village site for long time ant have cudjeled their brains as t.. how they would get possession
 Now for several years, no In dian has lived in the old village but they have always maintain ed their gardens there and dur ing the run of salmon, campea there and put up winters food.
 These generous cheechacoos who call themselves AlaSkanS, told of their hearts desire to the nice, kindly agents of the For est Department and these phil anthropic gentlemen, with on- ly the idea of building up the Territory, had this small tract set aside for park purposes. O. course, in defense of these gentle men, it must be admitted that the beach was a nice place ano the grounds nicely cleared of, The gentlemen who miSrule Alaska, forthwith set aside theS@ few acres of land and ruled tha ; the Indian claimants must ge. off, find themselves a new gar, cen spot and start all over again.
 Recently Judge Harding is sued an injunction forbidding the Indian owners from tres passing on their own property. Of course, the Judge had no other recourse when the Forest Czars set up their defense and the Indians had only their vague idea of their rights and 10 one to present their defense.
 Now, there is an Act of Con- greSs entitled, "An Act providing Civil Government for Alaska, !" B Stat. l.. 24, Sec. 8, wherein Congress provided:
 "That the Indians or other persons in said district SHALL NOT BE DISTURBED in the pos session of any lands actually in their use or occupation or now claimed by them, but the term> under which such persons may acquire title to such lands IS RESERVED to Congress-"
 Under this Act these Aux peo- people were using and occupying this village site and their right t:treto were reserved by the Act above mentioned.
 In the case of Young vs c >!' sten (DC) 97 Fed. 3O3 and in ;ne ease of Sutter V Heczman, Alaska Law Report, 188, th2 Courts held that "The Act o1 Congress of May IT, 1884, pro- viding civil government for Alaska, also provides that the Indians or other persons in said district shall not be disturbed in their possession of any lands in their use or occupation or now claimed by them, but the terms under which such persons may acquire title to such lands are reserved for future legislation by Congress- By this provision all persons in the peaceable possession of lands in Alaska ON THE DATE OF SAID ACT, ar2 guaranteed the right to ulti mately acquire a perfect title to such lands through such legisla- tion as Congress may enact for that purpose.
