towns show as much as 75 per
cent decrease. The increase is
negligible. The Indian villages
show a lower mortality rate due
in the main to the educational
program of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood.
One of the causes of lack of
increase of population is illus
trated by the Skinner and Eddy
Corporation’s operation at Kake.

90 Orientals along with its Cau
casian crew to run the cannery.
They employed a few native
workers and fishermen because
Mr. Sknner thought that the law
would compel them to do so.
This year even a less number of
Alaska residents will be employ
ed White workers do not become
permanent residents when they
ca n n o t secure employment
to care for the expenses and or
| dinary needs. Vast sums of pro
flts are taken out of the terri
tory and only sufficient to hold
ramshackle buildings returned.
The fishing is limited to that
class of special privilege—the
trap owners. There is no over
flow of population. A few
years back, men came to the ter
ritory as fishermen, and loggers,
working along the coast until j
they acquired sufficient capital
to move on to the north. A na
tural overflow to interior points
was provided.
Now the sons of O’Malley bring
in the riffraff and scum of the
Orient with attendant diseases,
return them to the States where
they are paid off. Residents
mothei the spawn of the gutters
and carry to their graves the
lavages of unmentionable dis
eases. The system waxes fat
on the cream of the country—
its resources, its manhood and|
womanhood. And the support-!
ers of this system would drive:
out of the country all those who
stir up strife gainst such a
damnable system.
Less Fishermen are employed I
than in 1912 when the pack ofj
salmon was considerably small
er than at present. The Bureau
system sets forth finely colored
statements as to the condition of
the fine pulp mill possibilities
and the stabilizing of the fishing ]
industry. They do not point to j
the fact that people with empty
stomachs, through lack of em
ployment, do not enjoy being
permanent residents of the
Territory. Empty stomachs will
never build up any community
or territory.
JOHN’S PARTY LOYALTY
-x
When Judge Wickersham is
sued his platform recently, in
his candidacy for Delegate to
Congress, it contained this
pledge:
“To support and vote for all
the nominees of the Republican
primary election.”
But when candidate John Rust
gard had his platform pub
lished in the Juneau Empire
there was no word as to his loy
alty to the Republican party
and its nominees. And yet John
has always talked loudly of
party loyalty.
He has declared: “That the
primary election law is defect
K-VX-K-H-X-X-X-y-’- •' -

| WAFFLES
| Coff<?^ |

ive is universally admitted. II
leaves too much room for adher
ents of one party to interferi
with the organization and tht
nomination of the other party.’
But possibly now that John
Rustgard is being managed b>
Democrats he may have pledged
himself to throw all his person
al support to Democratic candi
dates in the November election,
in the event of his own defeat
at the primary election. John
is doing some strange things
these days.
JOHN EMBRACES FEDERAL
BRIGADE
-x
Most of the Federal officials
in Alaska are quietly laughing
at the antics of John Rustgard.
For years past he has berated
these public officials, but now he
suddenly turns and attempts to
take them to his manly breast.
Of course he didn’t mean all
that former blah. It was only
political buncombe, for which he
is now sorry, and he gives such
“a manifestation of the fawning
instinct” that the Federalists
only laugh, or are incensed
at him. Listen to some of John’s
reversals in his published plat
form:
“It would seem obvious that
the peace, progress and pros
perity of Alaska demands the
closest and friendliest possible
cooperation between the Terri
torial and Federal agencies
within the Territory With all
the navigable waters, 99 per cent
of the land, the fish, game and
the wild fur bearing animals
under the jurisdiction and con
trol of the Federal government,
and with Territorial develop
ment dependent on that gov
ernment for financial assistance
amounting to several million
dollars per annum, it would be
unwise for the people of Alaska
to enter into acrimonious dis
putes with the authorities at the
National Capital. It shall,
therefore, be my aim to estab
lish and maintain the friendli
est .relations .with the Federal
government and its several
agencies in Alaska.
Very nice, high sounding
phrases. But what did John
mean when he dilivered his cele
brated speech at Anchorage, and
afterwards had it published and
proudly circulated, when he de
clared:
“The Federal officials of Alas
ka—and by these I mean the of
ficers and employees of the ju
dicial and the executive depart
ments, constitute a separate po
litical party. They do not be
long to the majority party—they
are the minority party. They
are the directimg heads of the
GENERAL OPPOSITION T O
THE POPULAR WILL.”
“Those familiar with Juneau
know that the Federal officials
also constitute tne social ana
political vortex at the Capital.
Into this vortex all lighter in
dividualities are drawn as by
by suction. One of the public
amusements at the Capital is to
watch how so many of those
who come to make laws soon lose
their heads in this swirl and be
come unaccountable for their
own actions/'
