Emma Goldman pythoness of s(
cialistic prophecy and high prieste
of that philosiphy, from her dv
bious haven in Berlin cries out s
gainst the cruel barabarity of M
Deb’s friends in Russia says th
Cincinatti Enquirer. Miss Goldma
says the world cannot longer remai
indifferent to the honor of the So’
iet prison. She says that Moscow <
lone holds in cruel and festerin
durance more than 15,000 unfortu:
ate human beings whose crime ws
that they dared differ from th
views of the Soviet leaders.
Miss Goldman probably is rig!
as to her facts. She should knov
She has many friends among th
prisoners who—so she says— i
many instances are choosing suicih
rather than longer endure the
tortures. I: is asserted thi
sixty per cent of these prisonei
consist of workingmen and peasani
and forty per cent of the intel!
gentzia. Visits by friends are borbii
den absolureiy. The firing squac
are kept adequately busy. Execi
tions take place in the priso
morgue. Most of the guards a:
drunk. Tuberculosis, scurvy and t;
phoid are prevalent. Uathinkah
indignities are suffered by the pr
soners.
So goes the tale of Emma forme
:y. an eloquent and persistent advi
cate of Bolshevism in this “capita
istic" republic, which she still thinl
she couid improve, and to which sh
very ardently desires to return.
Perhaps Mr. Debs and his friem
here will take Emma to task ft
thus exposing, or slandering, tnoi
gentle and humane leaders who;
ears heard not the cry of starvir
millions, who for “the security <
the state and the well-being of tl
proletariat" mercifully murder*
the servants of the church, ar
whose chief animating spirit ev*
now dreams of filling the skies wii
death-vomiting planes with whit
he hopes to bring the gentiles i
capitalism, the lovers of liberty ar
law to their knees in subpection
the beneficent rule of the “saviou
of Russia.!"

George Buchanan. Detroit million
aire, arived in Alaska recently with
a party of Detroit boys who are get
ting their first glimpse of Alaska
through the generousity of their
wealthy escort. The youthful trav
elers touched at Ketchikan, Juneau
and other towns in Southeastern
Alaska, and made a sightseeing trip
into the Lake Atlin country.
The boys range all the way from
eleven years of age to nineteen. Of
the 203 lads that started out a
year ago to earn by their own
efforts the required one-third of
the $400—the approximate cost of
the trip—99 succeeded. The remain
ing 40 boy3 will take the tour next
year as their parents told Mr. Buch
anan that they felt they were too
young to get the full benefit of the
trip if they took it this year. Already
100 first-class reservations have been
made for next year, for Buchanan
has decided to make this an annual
event for the boys of Detroit, who
are ambitious and willing to work
for it.
There are just a few conditions
attached to the gift—the boys are
required not only to earn the money
but to save it, and it is understood
that they must always be courteous
to others. If a boy proves to be dis
j. honest or untruthful, he is dropped.
j No reason is given him. It is thought
e j best to allow h;m unaided to come to
j a full realization of why he has
3 j forfeited the pleasure. Some of the
,r j boys on this trip are rich men's
e j sons, but they had to earn their
g ! one-third the same s the poor boys.
g Mr. Buchanan was amazed a year
,'f j ago to find how few boys in his
e j city saved anything,
d Last year George Buchanan took
d his first personally conducted to
n: Alaska consisting of two boys, 76
,a; and 78 years old. They enjoyed
h | it hugely but it proved to be not
,f j only their first but their last trip,
d as during the past year they both
o took the long trail beyond. The
-s, memory of their pleasure in the
trip, caused Buchanan to first think
of giving some boys the same plea

A first prize of $50 and four

of the trip.
Max Kollm, well known Yukon
Alaska artist, and Mrs. Kollm who
left the North ten years ago, have
returned to Skagway for the season.
Mr. Kollm was the founder of the
organization known as the Native
Sons and Daughters of the Golden
North. »
The Yukon Territorial Council at
its recent session passed an ordin
ance permitting the sale of beer
under license only at roadhouses,
hotels, restaurants and chartered
clubs.
A beer Commissioner was pro
vided for and license charges fixed
at $50 a year for roadhouses, $100
a year for hotels and restaurants
in Dawson and $75 a year for ho
tels and restaurants at Whitehorse,
Mayo and Keno.

Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood of
Alaska, was the initiation into the
Camp of President Warren G. Hard
ing on Wednesday. July 11th, 1923,
at 12:30 p. m., says the Skagway
Alaskan.
Brother James A. Nettles, the liv
ing resident organizer of the Arctic
Brotherhood was present when the
solemn rights of the Brotherhood in
all its ritualistic beauty and prom
ance was administered to the Presi
dent by Chaplain Guy Sipperelle.
After the ceremony. The Hon.
Brother Warren G. Harding extend
ed the hand of good fellowship
which prevail throughout Alaska

An interesting and unique feature
of the initiation was the presenta

Max Kollm of an original member
ship certificate. This certificate wras
designed by Mr. Kollm at the time
of the inception of the Arctic Broth
erhood at which time it was the of
ficial membership certificate of the
Brotherhood. Mr. Kollm also de
signed the Charters used by tht
Grand Camp to all subordinat*
Camps.
Another feature of the impressivi
ceremony' was the presentation t(
Brother Harding by Jack Keller, t’ni
Pas: Arctic Chief of a jewel emblenr

order. The pin presented was in thi
form of a gold pan, embrazene<
with gold letters. A. B. signifyins

mond surrounded by gold nuggets.
