UNWISE LEGISLATION-W1ENo

Delegate Sutherland recently introduced in the House of Representatives bill which would convey to the Ketchikan Camp of the Alaska Na tive Brotherhood for it's own use and the usn of other natives an area of 200 X2OO in the proposed Thomas Basin project. This area-the entire Thomas Basin project-has been recognized as tldal rights to Indian owned uplands A part of this same area was the cause of dispute between J. k. Hickman and another fisherman in the early days-sad dispute arising out of alleged transfer of Indian rights to that area Gradually little by little, the Kctchikan Indians have been pushed out of their lands and in place of peaceful Indian habitations there grew up the Great White Way" or "Wallstrect of Ketcnikan" with more or less dubious reputation.
 few years ago, the Ketchikan Post of the of that which the government has "held in truSt' for the Ketchikan Indians and the Govern ment has refused to permit any person, outside of the Legion and the Salvation Army to put inn provements upon those tide lands.
 If it is right and proper that permission shall be granted to the American Legion and the Sal vation Army to tidal lands in the same Thomas Basin without any whining by the unspeakabe editors of the Empire, it is right and proper that this bill should pass granting title to the Indians of Ketchikan to lands which the government is compelled by law to protect to them. "They shall not be disturbed in their peaceful possession of these Indians should not be required to go to Congress to secure law recognizing their rights

CHECK OR CHECKMATE

The Bureau cf Fisheries has been sponsoring the International SOckeye Treaty which is before the Senate. Until recently it had the sup port of virtually the entire industry. Within the past few weeks considerable opposition has been raised against the terms of the treaty and suffl- cient pressure put upon Senators Jones and Dill of Washington by the Governor of Washington the canning associations and the fishermen them selves, that it is being predicted that the bill will meet with plenty of opposition in Congress. So much so that it is already declared that the treaty cannot be ratified.
 The sockeye fisheries of Washington Canada and Alaska are in very sad state of depletion Washington and Canada at time produced the bulk of canned soczeye but to day their packs are limited in size curtailing income therefrom to very large extent Canada has long since recog11z- ed the early death of it's fisheries unless regula- tory meas ures were enacted to protect the ndus- try. They have passed at various times treaties which they had presented to Congress but which all met with opposition from the American can ners through their powerful lobby in Washington
 Early in 1929 this same treaty was sent to Washington and presented to the Senate for ratl- fication but later Senator Jones had the treaty recalled for revision The revisions were made but

 Dams Political Debts.
 Delegate Sutherland has not been and is un- der no obligation to the Alaska Native Brother hood. Little, crooked minds and con emptible vio- atOrs of the law like the editors of the Juneau Empire cannot understand how any man can re- ceive political support from the Brotherhood and not be belolden to the organization. That is because their crooked, Whiskey buying of legislators, and political methods demands their elected candidates to "produce" the goods or lose their (Messrs. Troy and Pegues) support.
 The Brotherhood has supported Delegate Sutherland because he has been honest in his convictions and in his efforts to fulfill his roliticG! promises, which were matters of princi- pie and benefit to all Alaska. Which is more than can be said of these who criticize him in his actions. Dan Sutherland introduced this bill in Congress because it was right, and honest and fair bill and we here challenge the "short-Weight combination Of Juneau to show wherein the bill is not right, nor honest nor fair

That Fall Evans and several friends journeyed
to Hancock by train where they were met by
Hill, who acted their guide.
Evans found the mountains just Hill had

A dinner was given by Evans to his friends,

There were statesmen, ranking officers of the

in 1909 when some of the members wanted to
erect an elaborate club. Others opposed the
plan The disagreement over the erection of a
modern club house became so bitter that it was

Two Giants in the World of Pigmies

Two giants in a world Of pigmies have fallen. That
is, they have been called to their eternal reward. Thomas
A. Edison was one of the most remarkable men, time has
known. He was one, if not the greatest inventor. He
was one Of the most remarkable philosophers. He made
the world fit for the habitation of man. His inventive
achievements made him an immortal for all time. He
was a newsboy at the early age of IL. He kicked aside
all obstacles and surmounted all barriers. His name was
a household word wherever civilization has found a place.
Sir Thomas Upton was not an inventor but he was
an empire builder, the king of all traders in the mercan-
tile world and perhaps the most famous sportsman this
or any other century has known. He was born under the
Union Jack. He came to America in his boyhood. He
clerked in the city of Charleston, South Carolina. AS a
toiler he gained knowledge in the city Of New Orleans
world he became known as the most successful captain
of the producing as well as selling industry known to the
tea drinkers of the universe. He built yachts at a cost of
known in yachting circles the world-over. He made many
attempts to carry the challenged cup back to the British
Isles. He lost and when he lost he smiled. He had passed
his 80th milepost.
Thomas "A. Edison had passed his 80th milepost.
Edison and Upton were advanced thinkers. They were
humanitarians of the highest order. They never forgot
their days of poverty, the days when poor and unknown
they were fighting for a small place in the sun. John
Burroughs. the famous naturalist; Thomas A. Edison, the
most noted of all world inventors, Henry Ford and Harvey
Firestone were pals for years. They camped in the open
spaces. They lived close to nature. They were more
devoted than brothers could be. Now two are in the
shade Of the trees in the valley Of peace and rest.
Ford and Firestone continue to carry on. Ford Is
confident that the business world is on its way back and
Firestone is equally as confident that adjustment is the
order of the day and in the not distant future depression
will be a memory and not a malady.

Churches Turn Practical

The plans for a 19-story church and office building
in New York City which will replace the ancient John
Street church are indicative of the practical turn that
modern religion is taking. In other centuries huge sums
of money were expended on great %cathedrals which rose
sky-high. They were a drain, very frequently, on the
finances of their congregations. While they were shrines
of beauty, whose influence on the spiritual was always
splendid and true, they were, in a sense, a luxury.
Today Christianity has put more business spirit into
her buildings, although she has not sacrificed the artistic.
Churches, like any other business, should be a paying in
vestment. Rental of office space in no wise interferes
with that part of the building that is devoted to sacred
purposes. The John Street church, which is owned by
the General Methodist Conference, when its new building
is ready, will be a splendid shrine to enterprising Chris
tianity.
Nor will the memory Of the present church be lost
for the lower floor will reproduce it.

Physicians emphasize the i'm
p~ortance OF early diagnosis Of cancer
for its relief and cure. Men are at
work in laboratories trying to find
out chemical means Of diagnosis and
trying TO find tests OF the blood
anu of the tissues that will enable
the making Of a diagnosis sooner
than is now possible. When these
tests are found. 1t / be possible
to attack the cancer much earlier
than is now the case. Unfortunately
none Of the tests thus far offered,
including the Bendien test. OF which
newspapers have had much to say
in recent months, has been eStab-
lished as reliable.
The chief reliance must still be
placed on the family doctor who
sees the patient first for most COM
plants. If the family doctor is to
make a diagnosis early, he VAL
have to do two things: % Carefully
record the story c. the patients
complaints as 1t is told TO him by
the patient in response TO the proper
questions. 90 Make a careful physi-
cal examination Of the patient,
which will include actual inspection
of the various cavities of the body.
and actual insertion Of his fingers
into such places as cannot be read
lily seen.
Whenever a person has bleeding
regularly or even at intervals from
any Of the orifices OF the body. a
most careful investigation Is de-
manded. The records OF competent
surgeons show definitely at least 10
per cent or more lives saved when
the diagnosis is made early and the
treatment applied, than can be saw
ed when there is considerable delay
in action.

Letter

NEW YORK-Having heard for
several months that no one has
any money I'm beginning to Won
der what kind of wampum they
are using in this mans town.
For the observations OF q very few
days convince me that, whatever
it is they are spending, a con-
siderable number OF people are
using it as a means Of exchange.
Perhaps the checks are on
the rubber standard, but 1t has
seemed that most Of the persons
I've encountered were laying
their money on the line.
Well, Just for instance: ! have
attended the openings OF four or
five night resorts within the past
few weeks. Admitting that, upon
All opening night the managers
give away a certain percentage OF
space still something like 60 or
20 per cent Of the crowd pays for
what 1t gets. And in each instance

At the Central Park Casino,
where you trade your payroll for

several gents yawn slightly when
checks that ranged from 500 up
came into their hands.
In the theater world. the Scan
dalS," "FollieS" and "Vanities" are
the money "sellouts." Hundreds OF
tickets are in the handSN the
SCalperS. The chances are that
you'll pay around So each for choice
seats. Earl Carroll announced a
50 per seat policy. To some extent,
he's been able TO sell a percentage
Of seats at that But out
siders have made buys and they
ask at least twice as much. Yet,
these shows are packing the crowds
in. with orders weeks in advance.
Which means that several thou
sand persons can 20 on for months

After the theater one may drop

Lindy's-a trio that catches a large
percentage Of the late Broadway
crowd. The prices are stiff. One
pays plenty at one OF these at
least for the privilege OF eating a
sandwich which is Just $3.50.
Then there are the high-class
speakeaSies where drinks are 81
per each, plus two bits to the bar
tender unleIs you use a table. In
which instance the tip TO the
waiter is still more and the food
prices are in proportion to the
bar scale. And I've watched the
crowd packing the stairways and
the anteroom TO get a chance to
spend their coin. "A ten spot can

But there are thousands who

And, TO all intents and appear
