“The House That Quality Built”
\\ HAT IS NEWS AND WHAT IS
1 KUK PEBIilCTTY? .An ANSWER
Many fail to understand the dif
f rence until it. is explained to
them, and even then there are per
sons who, seeking publicity that
should he raid for as advertising
profess to see no reason why they
should pay for material.* .
Advertising is what, lawfully,
any person wishes to insert and he
responsible for as a medium of get
ting and increasing business or
reaping personal benefit.
The following is a good summary
of the relative treatment of news
nd advertising: Whatever goes in
to news columns must be edited in
Hie interest of the reader, by men
trained in that work and having no
ends to serve except to provide the
news.
Nobody fan pay for insertion of
nc-ws. The honest newspaper, often
offered money to print a news item, J
always 1 efuss it. On the other hand
the reader is entitled to strict su
pervision of material submitted, to
prevent what is really propaganda
or advertising, submitted to aid
some business or some cause, being
published as unabiased news gatlier
• d by the newspaper staff.—Osh
kosh ( Yv'is ) Daily Northwestern.
THE ONAXIMHJA INDIANS
v\ e have been informed that the
Onondaga Indians of New York State |
refused to vote, and ‘by that token,
tlie Juneau Empire tells its Indian
friends that they should not vote.
“We are ourselves a nation,” say
•he Onondagas. “We accept citi
zenship in no other.” In other
words, when the United States gov
■ rnment invited them to become a
part of it by voting, the Onondagas
refused claiming that they owe feal
ty and allegiance not to the United
States but to the Onondaga tribe.
1 hat being .fhe case, they are correct
in refusing to vote.
The Alaskan
r.
On the other hand, the Native In
dians of Alaska owe allegiance only
to the United States of America.
They Belong. To the limit of their
po vers, they gladly accept the full
burden of that citizenship. They al
so claim its privileges.
The Indiahs will continue to vote
for good men.
The Indians will obey the Consti
tution of the United States and will
not indulge in violating the lStli
Amendment as the editors (both
John Wr. Troy and John Pegues) of
j 1 he Juneau Vampire.
\ We hereby challenge these men
jto a unique contest—a pledge of
obedience to the Constitution.
i A night’s sleep and a new day—
these are excellent things to look
forward to when one is weary.
WE OFFER OUK OWN HUMBLE
SOLUTION
-o
William Randolph Hearth, owner
of the Hearth newspaper and marga
rine publications offers a prize of
$25,000 for the best solution of the
croliibition issue. The award will
be made for the best plan for the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
nPne to the Constitution.
We humbly suggest that the best
plan to repeal this muchly cussed
and discussed law is to offer it to
the People at the next election. It
cannot be repealed any other wise.
Oh1 COURSE ‘
There are some like Johnny
Walker, who like Johnny Walker,
!>' lieve nullification is the immedi
ate solution. It is the immediate
desire that exceds even the law of
the land.

The International Halibut Com
mission is anything but optomistif*
for the future of the halibut indus
try. There fecommendations for the
protection of the industry are dras
tic. It will hurt the individual but
as in a every measure for the pro
tection of the masses the individual
must sutler.
John N. Cobb, dean of fisheries
at the University of Washington,
Seattle, in summing up fishery con
ditions in Alaska is not too hopeful
for the halibut situation. He declares
that the halibut industry is faced
with the necessity of reducing its
fleet owing to a falling off of the sup
ply of fish on the northern banks.
\ real controversy is brewing in
that phase of the industry. Capt.
Jacob H. Engdal, vice president of
♦he Fishing Vessel’s Oweners’ As
sociation in a statement to the press
eeclares that “We have weathered
many storms but the one we are en
countering from the commission is
ihe greatest and most dangerous
tbe fleet has ever encountered. It
promises to tie up vessels and anni
hilate the industry, it is a case of
light or die.”
The Association being opposed to
the clearance of halibut vessels for
certain fishing banks only. This he
soys would delay passage to the
halibut banks. A further delay would
be necessitated by an attempt to
limit by pre-determined figures the
catch of vessels.
DIVER HAS CLOSE CALL
-o
John Nelson, diver, making a
survey of the steamer Starr which
was nearly wrecked when she broke
Ler shaft, came near losing his life
when his helmet was pulled off while
lie was under water.
The Charles T. left for Wrangell
this morning.
