Use of Hands

Q.-How may I teach my son
to use his hands?
A.-You can let him use tools.
Perhaps he will dull them or
break them. But that is all
right as he will soon learn to
use them well.
Let him learn to dress him
self and wash his hands and
face. When he finds something
hard to do you must not do it
for him. Let him struggle with
it a bit. BY struggling he will
learn the right way.

The social, educational and health serv-
 ices of the States and counties can be
 made available to the Indians, supplement-
 ing the Federal services, through contracts
 between the Federal Government and the
 States, while preserving intact the guard
 ianship which the United States owes to the
 Indians.
 This is a viewpoint that Alaskans will readily appreciate There has been in the past, and is now, too much of disposition the part of the Indian Service authorities in power within the Territory to shift responsibility for social educational and health services to the Territory and its municipali ties to disavow the duties and functions of guard ianship; and to generally get out from under as many of the burdens they possibly force upon the Territorial Government, Let us all hope that Commissioner Golfers ideas do not merely apply to the Indian Service work in the States but will extend equally to Alaska.

Friends Worth While.
pai!y Journal of Commerce, Seattle. )

(Daiiy Journal of Commerce, Seattle)
 This world in which we live is peopled with millions of strangers many acquaintances but very few friends. Strangers may be the source of much often passing moment with many afford new perspective and result in genuine good Strangers come, finger and they pass leave us with a foreign vista, a strange experience that takes us, for the moment out of what may be cramping environment. Otter the memory of them fingers long. Acquantances tolerate in their moods whether they strike responsive chord in us not. It is their privilege but usually they may be counted of the stuff that builds re- membranes that live and give us memory moments to be treasured
 There friends and friends and he is indeed fortunate who has friends who understands; friends who step out of their way to say his work is being well performed; friends unselfish enough to lay aside their tools to recognize the ability with which you wield your own. Fortunate is he who has friends who are big enough to subordinate the deside to harp and criticse. It has been said that real friend is with whom you can be your real self. Your soul can go naked with him. He seems to ask that you only be what you are. He does not want you to be better When you are with him, you feel prisoner feels who has been declared innocent You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think as long as it is genuinely you He understands those conditions in your nature that lead others to msjudge you. With him you can, to speak, take off your coat and loosen your collar You can air your little vagaries and absurdtes, and in opening them up to him they lost-dsolved in the of his loyalty He is with whom you dare be yourself.
 Sincerity helpfulness and sympathy-these we find in our real friends, and those qualities they have the right to expect to possess Friends are those made of metal that rings truest when cast down the hardest, for it is meant of staunch friendships that the staunchness shall be tested
 Out of the crucible of the worlds emotions scorched by fire and scared by diversity, comes in a great while that bead of worth more precious than that brought from ores, Aux and acid of the chemists golden assay-true friendship When you find it, treasure 1t, for 1t does not come often.

HOLZHEIMER FOR UNITED STATES
 ATTORNEY.

Judge William A. Holzhemer, now resident of Ketchikan, who was nominated recently for United States Attorney for the First Division of Alaska is too well known throughout the Division and Alaska to need introduction. For many years a member of the Washington State Bar he came to Alaska almost 20 years ago and has made it his home ever since. He admitted to the bar and resided here for sometime. He served as United States District Judge in the Second Division under the second Wilson Administration and made an excellent record a jurist Upon his retirement from the bench he removed to Ketchikan to practice law In recent years he has served as City Clerk with satisfaction to the community there and credit to himself He is good lawyer, fine citizen and loyal Democrat His confirmation ought to be a matter of but few days. Juneau will welcome him and Mrs Hozheimer when they return to resume their interrupted residence in this city.

REPEAL MAKES MORE REVENUE.

Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment urged py President Roosevelt for immediate action, Will mean more than $25O.OOOO0O annually in Federal liquor taxes according to Director of the Budget Douglas'
 How this might help to lesson other proposed Federal tax burdens, including increased income taxes ought to be plain to everybody.
 This relief can be assured by the end oi the present year. if in the next seven months 2o states follow the lead of Michigan, Wlsconsin, Hhooe Island wyoming, New Jersey New York, Nevada and Delaware in setting about the business of ratifying Prohibition repeal.
 Only eight States so far have had the question up before the voters In each of them the vote for repeal has exceeded preliminary estimates by large proportions This month six more States Will render their decisions the issue If the vote is as decisive as that of those already acting, finis will be written to National Prohibition within the year.

NEW COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN
 AFFAIRS.

John Collier who recently sworn in as Com missioner of Indian Affairs born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1884 His academic training at Columbia University in New York and the College of France in Paris. In 1907 he became staff mem Der of the Peoples Institute in New York City. Under that assignment he helped organize, in 1910, the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures and was it's general secretary for. four years.
 He organizer of the National Community Center Association founded in 1915, its first secretary and later it's president He was the director of the national training school for com munity centers from 1915 to 1919 1916 he helped to organize and served on the Board of Directors of the Childs Health Organization later the Ameri- Child Health Association.
 In 1919 he went to California where he became Director of Community Organization, position under the State Government. In 1920 he began travelling among and studying the Indians of the Southwest. In 1923 the American Indian Defense Association organized and MT. Collier was made its executive secretary. He held that position until his appointment Commissioner of Indian Affairs
 In it he studied most of the problems involved in Government administration of Indian Affairs He severely critical of many policies adopted by the Indian Service during the past decae The knowledge he gained in his extensive studies and travels incident thereto will stand him in good stead in his position.
 MT. Collier has very definite ideas about the Governments responsibility to the Indians In a statement issued at the time he took office he set forth some of them Among other things he said:
 At the present time, when large reor-
 ganizations of the Federal Executive depart
 ments are being undertaken, it should be
 easier than it has been in the past to bring
 to the help of the Indians many Government
 services which are meeting the needs of the
 general public I refer for example to
 the health service of the Federal Government
 outside of the Indian Bureau the general
 reclamation and forestry services the agri-
 cultural organization services which are
 available to the States and counties and
 the rural credit facilities which are being
 maintained and expanded at the present
 time
 This, however. does not mean that Commissioner Collier wants to immediately turn over the Indian administration to the States and counties, have the Federal Government walk away from it's re- responsibilities. This is evidenced by the next para graph in his statement, which was as follows:

A Plea for Maladjustment.
(New York Herald-Tribune.)

One of the narcotic notions of our day has been
 assailed in "The Smith Aumnae Quarterly by
 Dr. Julius Seelye Bixler, professor of religion and
 Biblical literature at that college. Were he not as
 scarcely dare to speak as he does for the aspira-
 tion he urges has probably been printed in la family newspaper. Pointing out that the sooth-
 ing word adjusted" stolen from genuine
 phychology to be used in ways never dreamed of in any science, he decries it's smugness, its fat satisfaction its upholstered inertia and has the
 boldness to ask: May it not be well for definite fly to take djustment' ideal, realizing that religion it's best has always meant lack Iof adjustment to the present status and a reach ing out?" Granting that to a psychologist adjust ment is the organization of emotional life along harmonious lines to leave the individual free for independent creative effort, he laments that be- Icause the term sounded so comfortable and tented it at once gladly accepted meaning that the end of life is the attainment of state where little or no exerton is required" So he pleads let us have maadjustment for children! At this time of year it is traditional to assure dissenting graduates that matter how they doubt lit now they will soon be like their forebears Let them be indulged for they, too, will settle down and adjust" themselves. No use to butt your head against stone wall, and all that. Domestic cares will tame those who are not hopelessly mal- ladjusted.' and they will discover the peace of lstodginess They will recognize that there has never been time when corruption, misgovernment,
 vice. disease and poverty did not exist, and will
 accept" those before them have done. Hasn't
 all this been going very much the for no knows how long?
 It cannot be denied that for a million years, roughly, maturity has been passing the buck to its
 offspring and posterity has adjusted itself-save in
 material ways-to much the state it found. When in blistering, a comprehensvey insulting article in "The American Mercury" Ralph Adams Cram insists that mankind in the mass has not changed.
 essentially, since neolithic times and still shows no of inn Wit he is not heard above the general rustic of adjust ment to Stone Age evils Nor will many under stand why a professor of religion should desire
 maladjustment for his children. What he
 mean by saying If they are properly maladjusted
 they will be truly religious?

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A SUGGESTION


This kidnapping business is getting serious. Some
thing must be done about it. l have a suggestion
to make. namely, repeal the law and license the
kidnapers There are certain good reasons for II.
l. 1t is clear that the law cannot be enforced.
This became apparent when the Lindbergh case
appeared on the scene. The violations have been
more frequent with every month. The law pro-
hibiting kidnapping does not prohibit; excuse my
use of language. Of course l should have said 1t
does not prevent
2 To license kidnapping would take the whole
business out of the hands of the underworld ana
place it in the hands of the crowd of law-abidlng
citizens They would be the same men; but now
they would be partners of the state.
g. To grant license would of course result in all
of the riffraff from the slums getting out of the
business and respectable men would take it up.
4. Of course certain restrictions must be thrown
around the business; no minors must engage IN
kidnapping; no kidnapping shall be carried on OH
Sunday and no kidnaper must carry on his bust
ness near college.
5. Lastly and most important of all is 1t would
be source of revenue to the state. Just think OF
how much ransom money now goes into the hands
of the underworld. The state could become a part
ner and share in the profts-B. w. Spilman in
