KIDNAPPING FOR A MILLI0>
-o
Three years ago, Sam Clark
editor of JIM JAM JEMS pub
lished the following story of the
looting of Barnett Jackson’s es
tate. Last November, 1928, the
United States Senate Committee
jon Indian Affairs investigated
j this same case, almost four years
later and the evidence introduc
ed substantiated the story as
written by “Jim Jam Jems, Jr.”
Clark is now with Whiz Bang
Bill, running another JIM JAM
JEMS. The question this publi
cation asks is What will he say
if he reads the Senate investiga
tions and the mass of evidence
introduced to show the crooked
ness of the Indian Bureau from
reservation “mules” to Burke,
recently deposed head of that
Bureau.
This is a true tale of how a
sleek adventuress put the “sigh”
in siren and cashed in on it—
slicker than an eel in a barrel of
soap suds.
* * *
BUt guardian O’Hornett also
was on the job. When he learn
ed that his incompetent ward
had been kidnapped he started
in pursuit and also notified the
then Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, Cato Sells, who sent an
Inspector to assist in the cap
ture. Habeas corpus proceed
ings were instituted and finally
the seductive Kate—then claim
ing to be Mrs. Jackson Barnett—
returned to Oklahoma with her
marital prize.
In the meantime an Inspector
for the Indian Bureau, aided by
a corps of detectives, delved in
to the past life of Mrs. Anna
Laura Sturgis Lowe Barnette
and filed it with the Indian Bu
reau. A copy of it is in our pos
session. It’s a corker. It traces
the dame from her birth date
to kidnapping sortie. It de
scribes her two former marriag
es, her divorce from Sturgis and
her annexation of the aged Lowe
whom she mistakenly believed
wealthy. It traces her move
ments over a period of years
thru a number of States from
Oklahoma to New York. It in
cludes the names of the hotels
where she registered, the report
of th liaisons she made thru ne
gro bell boys, of her being or
dered to leave various hotels
and of her efforts to secure
money from various parties. It
details her relations with vari
ous men and of her securing
money from them as a price for
her silence. Over a term of years
it details the movements and the
doings of this tireless huntress
of men and mazuma. It’s a doc
ument packed full of human in
terest and replete with the wiles
of a shrewd, daring and design
ing Circe in her determined
quest for the long green. The
fact is it’s so darned interesting
that it’s unprintable, But it
does brand Mrs. Anna Laura
Sturgis Lowe Barnett as a very
astute separator of money from
befooled men.
Shortly after this report was
filed with Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, Cato Sells, he was
succeeded in office by Charles H.
Burke and the money tempo
shifted into high gear. Anna
gracefully insinuated herself in
to the good graces of Indian Af
fairs officialdom in spite of that
damning report on file in the
Indian Bureau. “Crazy Jack’s”
mazuma mound—under control
of Indian Commissioner Burke—
began to be lowered. “Extra al
lowances” for automobiles and
other high living expense begar
ing to clutter the files. Anna’s
itching talons were being sooth
ed by oodles of soothing long
green poultices. “This was th<
way she long had sought.”
AND STILL THE DELAY
-o
‘California is discussing agaii
the accuracy of its judgment ii
convicting and imprisoning fo
life Tom Mooney and Warrei
K. Billings, charged with throw
ing a bomb into the prepared
ness parade in San Francisco
in 1916. The affair was more
widely known than that of Sac
co and Vanzetti, for Mooney
was a labor official. A cam
paign for their release has
been maintained without ceas
ing, not—as in the Massachu
setts case—cut short by the ex
ecution of the convicted men.
Governor Young has before him
an argument for PARDON FOR
MOONEY and Billings which
declares that witnesses have re
tracted damaging testimony
and that the judge and eleven
members of the jury now be
lieve in the innocence of the
men.”—Review of Reviews.
Thirteen years out of the al
lotted span of years of these
two men irreplacable and ir
redeemable taken from them in
the name of Justice. For a
large part of those years even
the Trial Judge in the case has
been convinced that the Pluto
cratic Slave Drivers had jobbed
Madame Justice and blindfold
zed her with propoganda and a
'highly fabricated tissue of lies.
Even the jury has signed peti
tions asking the full pardon of
these men after being convinc
ed that the men were railroad
ed into prison in the name of
liberty and justice for the bene
fit of those who are bigoted,
un-patriotic and un-American.
The least that can be done for
these men is to give them last
years in liberty and the plac
ing in prison in their place
those who lied and perjured
themselves and worked up false
evidence for conviction.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH
THE DEMOCRATS
An editorial in the Seattle
P. I. says;
“The reason the Democratic
Party is not elected to office is
because it does not deserve to
be.
It is a party of mere oppor
tunism, and not even intelligent
opportunism.
* * * It would seem that the
experiences of the last decade
should have shown the Demo
cratic Party the utter folly of
such a course, but the Demo
cratic Party seems to have no
intelligent leadership capable
of being taught and no chart
of Democratic principles upon
which to proceed.
It is in the contemptible posi
tion of being a party of opposi
tion merely for the sake of op
position.
In other words, the Republi
can Party decides the policy of
the Democratic Party.
If the Republican Party fa
vors anything, the Democratic
Party stupidly opposes it; if
the Republican Party opposes
anything, the Democratic Party
blindly favors it.
Of course, such an unwise
course creates no Democrats,
inspires no following for the
Democratic leaders, if those who
unfortunately in the Demo
cratic councils can be called
leaders.
And as a consequence, the
Democratic Party has lost state
after state until it hardly fig
ures as a national party at all.
There is a great opportunity
for leadership in the Demo
cratic Party, and a great neces
sity for leadership.
There is a great necessity for
a Democratic program built on
fundamental Democratic prin
ciples, and without these things
the Democratic Party can never
succeed.
* # * The situation is discour
’ aging to all genuine Democrats.
1 (Ed. Note: there must be
some spurious democrats thru
out the country).
It gives ample explanation
and ample reason for the fact
i that so many Democrats in
1 principle vote the Republican
r ticket.
i There is no Democratic Party
- —no party that is a DEMO
- CRATIC Party in principle, and
»
no party which genuine Demo
crats can vote for.”
Evidently the editor of the
Post-Intelligencer has had a
very close-up view of the work
ings of the Democratic Party
in Alaska—or else that party
is so counterfeit and spurious
throughout the country that it
is time it were buried.
SEATTLE HAD ITS
OWN TROUBLEJ
Tlio Seattle is a couple or
three times large tnan Peters
burg and has much more abii
ity and talent to draw on, it
evidently had somewhat of the
troubles of the previous coun
cil 10 the present one sitting
since election. We quote the
lioilowing from the Seattle Star
of recent date:
Think And Act, Gentlemen!
The main trouble with Seat
tle’s city council is oiiat its
members are afraid to make de
cisions. They shuffle and de
lay and dill-daily along. Ap
parently they have no minus or
their own; or, ii they have,
they are afraid to speak them.
At least a dozen questions
have been before the council
for weeks. Again and again, a
decision has been pat off.
Sometimes t h e councilmen
have pleaded “lack of know
ledge” of something everyone
else has known for months.
The daylight saving plan is a
case in point. Every literate
American has known of the
plan for years and formed a
decision concerning it. But the
council, apparently, has just
heard of it—and wants to take
time to study it.
The taxi muddle is another
case in point. And there are
dozens of similar questions.
Some of them have been hang
ing fire for months and are still
unanswered. Similar haphaz -
ard methods in any business
would bankrupt the stockhold
ers.
The council isn’t hired to
know nothing; it’s hired to
show common sense and do
,something—and it ought to get
busy.
“THE FIFTH DIVISION'’
-o
Sarcastically speaking of the
Senate Representative Donnelly
declared in the last session of
the legislature that he was glad
he was a member of the House
rather than of the Senate.
While it was generally consid
ered more of an honor to be a
Senator still he was delighted
that he was a representative
because the Senate was under
the domination of the “Fifth
Division” instead of Alaska.
The Fifth Division is general
ly recognized as being the Seat
tle and San Francisco head
quarters of the canning asso
ciations and the holing up
place of the bureaucrats. In
direct denial of Donnelly’s state
ment is the record of the Sen
ate as compared to the House.
The Senate worked for the peo
! pie of the Territory—the House
worked for the perpetuation of
! the federal bureaucratic machine
\ favored the big mines and can
: ning interests. Opposed fair
workmen’s compensation and re
fused to equalize fishing laws
I relative to alien fishing.
No amount of explaining can
square the record of the House
for the “interests and plunder
bund” as compared to the record
of the Senate which stood
squarely on its platform of ef
fort for the people.
