CHARGES THE CORPORATIONS.
The dispatches today give the the
cheerful information that the corpora
tions so dominate congress that the
Beveridge Alaska bill will be forced
through. By this incongrous piece of
legislation this territory wll be pro
vided with an administrative council
consisting partly of presidential ap
pointees and partly of representa
tives elected trow home districts.
The bill adulterate in all its parts
but the most insulting feature is the
section which provides that the wind
broken politicians who are to be sent
out here by the president as members
of his illegitimate council, shall be
paid twice the salary to be allowed
the Alaskans who constitute the only
real American part of the government
al scheme.
The Yukon is composed of the sarno
class of men that live just across the
line In Alaska. They are miners and j
they do all the moving around and i
going outside winters that Alaskans j
do. yet they are allowed a wholly el
ective council and the territory is
well governed. If the great mass of
the American people were allowed ,
their say tn this matter Alaska would
long ago have enjoyed and prospered 1
under a Just reign of self rule, the
same as our British cousins do. But
congrene is In the hands of corpora
tions and they do all the saying ?
Ketchikan Miner.
Now they say that Taft will with
hold patronage from Republican in
surgents. When Bill gets the returns
from the cornfed middle west next
fall he will find that his federal ap
pointees are about the only Republi
cans in that region who are not in
surgents. Not one Republican in
10,000 in the prairie states agrees
with the president that Aldrich is a
patriotic statesman. ? Valdez Prospec

WHAT IS A WHITE MAN?
A Puuling Problem For the Racial In
vestigator.
The chief of the naturalization bu
reau at Washington Is of the opinion
that Um "average man in the street"
understands distinctly what a "white"
man Is. Apparently some persons can
master a subject without studying It
at all. while others who have looked
Into It deeply are not so dogmatically
certain- as the "average man tn the
street? -
For example, the -encyclopedias tell
as that maukln4 wa?- divided by Blu
meobaeb- into Ave race*? namely. Cau
casian, -Mongolian. Ethiopian. Ameri
can (Indlani ami Malay. The words
"Caucasian'' and "white" are ose?l
synonymously. This classification was
first published In 1781 and must have
been known to our natioual legislators
when In 1802 they passed the first
naturalization law.
The Caucasian race includes Arabs. ;
who are -certainly oo ^whiter" than
the Turks, yet Turks, the official says,
cannot be naturalized because they are |
not "white."
We are also told by the naturallza- j
don bureau that the Hindoo Is not
"white'' within the meaning of the |
statute. But the encyclopedia says that
It la a great error to separate the Hin
doo from the Caucasian race. The
Hindoo. It thinks. Is much nearer the
"white" race than the Arab.
To puzzle the racial investigator still
further, while everything U so clear
to the -"average man In the street,"
we are told by the encyclopedias that
the original Caucasians? that is, the
Inhabitants of the Caucasus-are no
longer regarded as Caucasians. They
have been thrown out of the "white"
camp and forced to go over to the
Mongol.
Nor is the enigma any nearer solu
tion when we are told by the natural
isation bureau that Asiatics cannot be
naturalized, but that Siberians can,
although Siberians may be anything
from Russians to Mongolians or Mon
gol-Turco-Tsrtars.? Boston Globe.
