WASKEV VERY MOPEfUL
Alaska's delegate likes the looks of
things at Washington-Highly pleased
by the attitude of President Roosevelt
- -? _ ?
Hon. Frank H. Waskey, Alaska's
delegate to congress, writing from
Washington under date of November
30, U hopeful on account of the outlook
for self-government for Alaska. He is
particularly pleased with the Interest
taken In AlasKa by those high in au-'j
thority and particularly pleased with
the attitude of the president. He Bays:
"I have only good words to say for
those whom I have met thus far in an
official way. Everyone has been all
courtesy and helpfulness The presi
dent in particular I have found very ap
proachable and much Interested."
Mr. Waskey says the president is in
terested in the causeof self-government
for Alaska and is inclined to giva it his
support.
Mr. Wa?key expects Mr. Cale to ar
rive at Washington shortly and says,
"We will try to get things started right
at least befote ihe present term of con
gress ends."
I
There is much reason to believe that j
the president's declaration in favor of a
"complete reorganization of the gov
ernmental system" for A'aska is due to ?
the good work Mr. Wttskey has done j
for those he represents. called on |
the president three limes and be urged
the cause of self-government for th?
district very strongly. ' ? , v
In the lett?r referred to Mr. Waskey
"I regret exceedingly that I was un
able to visit Southeastern Alaska before
coming to Washington. 1 should liked
to have met all my constituents there
and to have had the benefit of their
views and experiences."
He says he will be pleased to hear
from the people at any time with refer
ence to their needs and with suggest
tions as to his work.
Frisco nor
California Metropolis Anger
ed by Message
San Francisco is reported to be boil
ing oyer on account of President
Roosevelt's ssvere strictures upon
them for shutting Japanese out of the
public schools.
The follow-In? Is the gist of what the
president said:
"The Japanese hive won In a iin^le
generation the right to stand abreast of
the foremost and most enlightened peo
ple of Europe and America, they have
won on their own merits ?nd by their
own exertions the right 10 fe -tment on
a bams of full and frank equality. But
here and there a m09t unworthy feeling
has manifested itself toward the Japan
ese ? the feeling that has been shown
in shutting them outfrom the common
schools in San Francisco, and in mut
terings against them In one ortwo other]
places, because of their efficiency as j
workers. To shut them out from the ;
prblic schools is a wicked absurdity, i
when there are no first-class colleges
in the land, inclining the universities (
and colleges of California, which do not
welcome Japanese students and { on
which Japanese students do not reflect
credit. We have a* much to learn
from Japan as Japan has to learn from
us, and no nation is fit to teach unless
it is willing to learn. Throughout
Japan Americans are well treated, And
any failure on the part of Americans at
home to treat the Japanese with a like
courtesy and consideration is by just so
much a confession of inferiority in our
civilization. It is only a very small
body of our citizens that act badly.
Where the federal government has
power it will deal summarily with anv
such.
