in his make up, unscrupulous,
greedy for power and notoriety,
Paul is spurring on the Natives
with the same kind of inflaming
doctorine that caused the I.W. W.
to shoot down in cold blood mar
ching Legionaiies in the streets
of Centralia, that caused the bloo
dy riots in labor strikes, and that
is being surreptitiously spread
through the country by sabotists
and communists to stir up sed
ition against the government.
If William Paul is sodissat—
! isl'ied with the institutions of civ
ilizations why does he not go baca*
and live again like a savage in the
dirty squalor of a community
house? Why does lie not don the
skins of wild animals, eat fish and
seal grease, and put on the war
I paint against the whites that he
| claims have usurped his birth
right. He sneers at wtiite bloou
land calls the exclusion of native
i child from the white school worse
than murder, and yet his father,
or grandfather of which he beats
his breast and prides himself so
greatly would have sold that same
; little, poor innocent native child
into eternal slavery for a Chilkat
' blanket.
Paul played constantly on the
I h.ct that the whites were prejud
iced againsttiie natives on account
i of their color. He is wrong in this
as in nearly everything else for
1 there is no color prejudice on the
j part of tne whites. There is pre
judice by the average, intelligent
Aire-rican citizen against close
association or hy cleso association
j of their children, ^ wit h people of
I a ik lean and flit hy per - on a 1 habits
1 he timy white, b ack m red. There
j is prejudice against mixing Imalt
1 by children with disi.a>eu child
ren. Tiiere is prejudice against
putting two classes of children of
entirely different intellectual sta
/ndards under the same teacher
j Hut there is no race prejudice ex
cept. in the evil mind of William
Paul, and he uses it to elevate
himself, to the coveted position of
false leadership.
"Who are you?” he cries to the
whites. Well, who are you Mr.
Paul? You super at the claim of
the old timers that they pioneer
< d this Territory. It is true you
and .your brothers wore hear bo*
fore the whites. I f that is a mark
of superiority so were the howl
ing wolves and the croaking ra ven
William Pa u 1 is a menace to
I the whites and a menace to the
j natives, tic* is a false.voice in the
desert that leads his [>«*< pie to
drink and gives them poisoned
! water. Paul is leading Ids own
j people into a trap and if they are
foolish enough to blindly walk in
io it they will some day find them
selves in a mesh from winch they
cannot extricate themselves. Paul
is a. fanatic and Ids misdirected
leadership will have disastrous
results j| ir, is not curbed. It is
hoped tliatafter Paul leaves town
the disturbance he has created
will die down and that tin* whites
and natives will resume the same
J friendly ; eiationship thatgener —
j ally prevails in Sitka. With the
rank and file of the natives the
| whites have no quarrel
But beware William Paul if in
your headlong quest for personal
notoriety and aggrandizement
you precipitate the race trouble
! that will surely come if things do
not change. I5e ware William Paul
|
| if in your blind ignorance and
! greed fc* power you continue to
inflame he hearts of you r people
: against their white brothers. You
! have thrown down the gauntlet,
! W illiam Paul, and not much is be
j ing said, but do not think in the
| supremo ignorance of your self
reflected glory that the whites
are afraid to lake it up. If you do
j not take heed, and if you persist
in brini ng to a climax the race
trouble hat you are now so tho
ughtlessly brewing, you will find
J the Amo: ican Legion the Pioneers
j the Pres >yteriansand the restof
j the whites that you smirched and
! befoulec in your speech, allied a
1 gainst.you and may the Lord have
mercy or you and those that foil
ow you. Do hot forget, William
Paul, tha tof such as us the Gov
ernment of this Republic is com
posed, and that, we will prevail in
spite of you and, your vile mouth
ed defamations! Do not forget
William Paul, thjat if it ever be

field we will eave !the United Stat
