EDITORIAL PAGE
The following editorial Is taken
month- from the Nomo Nugget,
slightly doctored over to apply to
thU part of Alaska.
Evidences are being furnished all
over Alaska all the time that
gnno dangers accompany the Inter
mingling of whites and natives. One
u-ed not be particularly sanctimon
ious to believe that decided efforts
should be made to protect certain
members of both races from each
The contact with the tvhltes Is
known well to bo the uatlves' great
est curse, while contact with the
natives certainly does no good to the
Many parts of Alaska have oppor
tunities to witness what might
be the result of an Intermlxturo of
the two pooples. The girls, for ln
s'auce, of mixed unions seem to
lose tho savage's peculiar but
aomewhat strict sense of morality,
while they follow naturally tho ex
ample of the white people with
whom the\ come in touch. These
w'lite people necessarily are men
and tho lowest brand of the order at
that. White women will not associ
ate with half breed girls, and the
belter class of white men would not
date, so tho Initiation of the %am
bll:OUs daughters of native women
into the r-.ethods of the whites is
l.erformed under the auspices of me
who have all th? vices of the whites
and none of the virtues of the so
i 'tiled inferior savages.
The consequence of all this is, of
course, th.it tho community will
soon find itself, if it has not al
ready found itself, given up in
great measuro to half breed bawdry.
There aro things at which even
the most impious of us can draw the
line. We might be all that our
enemies would wish to prove us to
bo, but we should all remember that
it lies with us to prevent tho fu
ture population of Southeastern Al
aska from being hybred and mental
ly. physically and morally diseased
abortions. It is Just as much the
duty of a man to prevent public
vice and corruption^ as It his duty to
prevent himself from vice and cor
ruption. If ho falls, when he has
tki opportunity to speak against
public vice he Is a criminal, and If
he fails to prevent vice when he
has the power to do so ho Is also :i
criminal.
The Valdei Miner has figured It
out "after careful study, that the
government should build a railroad
from Valtle* to Fairbanks." The
Cordova Alaskan has llkowlso fig
ured u lino from Cordova. The
Gateway figures one from Seward,
the Pioneer Press figures its from
Haines; but a government owned
Hue from Skagway via tho White
rivor aud Yukon, with a proper
system of feedors, such us wo hare
ia our mind's eye, would solvo the
trausportatiou question In Alaska
forever.
Since tho question of dressing
well on a thousand dollars a year
l t>3 again come up for discussion
among the women. It is pleasing to
take tho following from a long edi
torial In the Christian Scionce Mon
ll is pleasant to find a writer In
the "Fashtcus aud Household" page
of the Monitor saying, as one said
on Thursday, that "tho best dressed
women are those whoso costumes
attract tho least attention." We
believe th-s Is absolutely true, and
it is a fact laden with encourago
n.tnt for girls and women who have
n< t the means to dress up to the
extremest styles. A woman who
desires to bo pleasing in appear
ance can hardly make a greater
mistake than that of nssuming that
au?. is improving her looks by
wearing things not because they are
becoming but bccause they ute sty
list). As the nrtlclo referred to
said, "the little shop girl with
:m outlay of $10 may have a more
artistic gown than the daughter of
a millionaire." Likewise tho little
shop girl, by ovor dressing, may
look pitiably conspicuous by the
s'Ot of tho girl of means who pos
seses taste enough and sense
enough to attire herself neatly and
modestly. Tho thing to bo grate
ful for Is that so many who might
euploy their opportunities In an op
p<x>Ite drlectlon exorclso tho re
straint In dress that entitles them,
wrether rich or poor, to popular
appreciation.
Modern Preachers Are
Becoming >lore Like
Politicians
By the Rev. Dr. SAMUEL SCHULMAN of New York
E are going through a time of great religious uncertainty
and intense social unrest. Man in large measure sceins to
have lost the satisfactions that como from within himself,
lie has LOST HOLD OX GREAT PURPOSES IX
LIFE. He has lost his sense of proportion betweon the eternal values
and the temporal comforts and social arrangements.
Because of this we witness tho peculiar phenomena of confusion
which are manifested by some representatives of the two kinds of im
portant leadership among men. The preacher, whose main business
it should be to lift up men in spiritual freedom, tends, because of the
lack of interest in his special work, to outside activities.
? * ?
HE CEASES TO BE THE PRIEST AT THE ALTAR AND BECOMES
THE POLITICIAN, THE SOCIAL AGITATOR ON THE OTHER HAND
THE STATESMAN AND THE POLITICIAN SEEK TO DRAW ATTEN
TION FROM THEIR INCOMPETENCE IN THEIR OWN PROVINCE AND
TAKE THE LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE.
Tho preacher MUST ATTRACT ATTENTION. lie has a
message on every political situation, and ho has a dogmatic word
ready for every industrial contest, although he may not have ex
amined the case, and he is glib in committing hftnself to social pro
gram*. lie BECOMES A POLITICIAN.
When he becomes a politician he KILLS WHAT IS LEFT OF
THE RELIGIOUS SENTIMENT which ho is supposed to stimu
late. Ho may be talked of and become notorious, but he is a failure
as the revealer of the divine spirit of men.
