BE GENEROUS THIS X-MAS
-x
No one can afford to be stingy
and selfish at this time or any
time of the year. No one can
afford to be on the receiving
end of gifts continually. It be
littles ones mind and heart and
dries up any kindness that the
good Lord has given unto each
man.
There are besides your own
relatives, friends, old and young
who need the proof of friend
ship; who need kindly deeds and
acts to give them back their
faith in humanity. Perhaps your
kindly, generous act will bring
it back to them. And by the do
ing of that act you benefit your
self. You will at least have the
approval of your heart and con
science. We can find many ways
in which to be generous with
family and liberal with friends
and thereby make ourselves
happy with others.

SELFISHNESS OF MAN
Fishing concerns of Seattle
and Bellingham recently offered
to furnish free to needy persons,
20.000 pounds of fresh salmon if
they would come and take it
away The response was immedi
ate—many “needy” persons
went down to the fish marts in
automobiles to get the fish of
fered. And they went to get that
fish from men who were not
able to buy automobiles yet were
generous enough to share a little
of their catch with those who
really needed help.

MAKES GOOD ADVERTIS
ING FOR ALASKA
In spite of all of its peculiar
political propaganda wherein it
sets itself up as the “white hope”
of Alaska, the Juneau Empire
perforce must acknowledge the!
greatest asset that the Terri-\
torv has is its Indian popula-1
lion, their civilization, curios
and relics. The town of Wrangell:
has capitalized this fact by tak
ing care of the old totems which
belong in that community and
others which have been brought
there; Juneau capitalizes its In
chon population through its mu
seum which it advertises year in
and year out, and which mu
seum contains in the main curios
and relics of Alaskan Indian,
Aleut and Eskimo civilization.
Now again is Alaska-through
its Indian life brought to the
fore by an exhibit which is being
sent to the Paris Exposition next
April. So that once again the
Empire recognizes the impor
tance of the Indian portion of
Alaska’s population which it has
so persistently sought to domi
nate in its own greedy way. The
following is taken from the Em
pire of Dec. 3th:
World to see Alaska Indian
Relics at Paris
-x
Relics indicative of the life
and ways of Alaska Indians of
both today and yesterday wiil be
on view at the Paris Exposition
next year to excite the interest
and wonder of persons from all
parts of the globe. Part of the
exhibit has been forwarded from
here, and the rest of it is being
assembled by the Rev. A. P.
Kashevaroff, curator of the Ter
ritorial Museum.
The two large Totem poles
that stood in front of the Mu
seum were taken down recently,
put into boxes and shipped yes
terday on the Admiral Farragut.
They weighed 800 pounds. From
Seattle, they will go by way of
the Panama Canal to Howard
Fyfe. 45 Broadway, New York,

who will transship them to C.
Bascom Slemp, commissioner
general of the United States to

IMPURE BLOOD
i A Jew in a London hospital
was told that only a transfu
sion of blood would save his lifp
and that the blood of a Gentile
would be used in this instance
[He refused to take the transfu
sion as he did not wish to have
his blood tainted.
Racial prejudice is not con
fined to the Jew. It has been
made very marked by such ideal
istic citizens as the editor of th
Juneau Empire whose every cry
is raised against the Indian of
Alaska. A prominent citizen of;
Petersburg speaking of William ■
L. Paul said recently: “If he
were not an Indian he would be
fhe logical candidate for deie
,’ctte to Congress but because he
s an Indian I could not support
him.” And this citizen preferred
such as Tom Marquam and
George Grigsby to William Paul.
We commend to the reader a
study of the 10th chapter of the
Acts of the Apostles.

SMITH AND HOOVER
Clyde Ellis of Cordova, Depart
ment Judge-Advocate, Alaska
Division, American Legion, upon
purchasing a ticket at the An
chorage dopot, had to stand in
line for some time behind a wo
man holding twin babies. When
the woman came to purchase
her ticket she had difficulty in
maneuvering the babies so that
she could get at her purse. Clyde,
being a gentleman, offered to
hold one of them till she got her
ticket. After returning the baby
to its mother he remarked:
“Those are wonderful babies
you have.” “Yes,” replied the
mother, “They’re twins, born
during the last presidential elec
tion. Their names are Smith and
Hoover.” Clyde looked up and
grinned, saying, “I guess I must
have been holding Smith.” —
The Alaska Legionaire.
TRAINING AND PRACTICE
“Three Alaskan young men.
graduates of the Sheldon Jack
son School, met early in October
with Rev. Jackson L. Webster,
Presbyterian national mission
ary in his study in Sitka, to or
ganize the first school for native
religious workers in the Terri
tory. The school will train Sun
day school superintendents, in
terpreters, native helpers, and,
occasionally ministers who w'll
take charge of native church.es.”
"tates a Presbyterian news item.
Rev. Mr. Webster formerly was
pastor at Bend, and later was
student-pastor at Leland Stan
ford University. He went to Alas
ka from his pastorate at Grants
Pass.”—Oregonian.
The great failure, in the minds
of missioners, of the Sheldon
Jackson School, has been in that
it has not turned out preachers
and missionaries to any large
extent. Said one teacher, “I was
educated to be a minister but I
soon found that field too limited
and looking about saw the won- j
derful possibilities of reaching1
many minds through direct con-1
tact of children in the school
system. I resigned my pastorate
and went teaching and have
never since regretted my action.”
There may be need for a spe
cial religious department in the
Sheldon Jackson School. Which
need however may well be taken
care of by the Presbyterian Col
leges at Albany, Oregon or Whit
worth College at Spokane, Wash
ington. The greatest need at this
time appears to be the intensive
education of our young men and
women in the several trades
whereby they may successfully
compete with other labor in the
territory and in the dome'tic
arts and sciences whereby our
oung women may attain a
standard in their hornes_ that be
speak a higher type of citizen
ship. It, therefore appears to us
that at this time the Sheldon
Jackson School should bend
greater effort to turn out more
efficiently equipped students to
enter the body politic of the
territory and to compete in the
industrial fields. Those who are
of a religious turn of mind, ii
they desire that special training
will get it. That is not a problem
to worry over. The schools al
ready fitted and equipped for
that special training are estab
lished and being under the Pres
byterian Church should have the
support of every Presbyterian
organization and individuals as
patrons or students.

EVERETT PLANS HAVEN
FOR FISH CRAFT
-x
Officials of the Everett Port
Commission have under consid
eration plans submitted by the
Fishermen’s Packing Corpora
tion for the construction of a
haven for purse seiners and
other fishing craft. The proposed
project would involve an outlay
of $100,000. Everett is already
assured $342,000 by the govern
ment for harbor improvements.
It is suggested that both pro
jects might be handled at the
same time. The proposal suggest
ed would make Everett the home
port of the fishing fleet. Faci.i
ties in addition to shelter would
include storage sheds and racks
for handling nets and gear. The
plan contemplates an addition
cf 15 acres of filled ground and
increased deep water frontage.

chicken were found to have
had many shekels planted on
’em but not many had nuggets
in 'em.
