WHICH?
“Sure, I said it and will say it again,” is the position
taken by Delegate Dan Sutherland in his address at Fair
banks this week when the matter of the article defaming
Alaska, furnished by Dan himself and published in the
Hearst papers last March, was under discussion. And that
is the attitude toward Alaska with which Dan will return
to Washington if reelected in November—slander Alaska
and her people in his efforts to vindicate his position and
his actions in supplying the Hearst publications with the j
most damning arraignment ever brought against a coun
try or commonwealth.
That it is the intention of the supporters of Suther
land in the First Division to put Indians on the pension
rolls, admit Indians to the Pioneers’ Home, place Indians
on an equality with whites in every respect, including the
public schools, is evidenced by correspondence of Suther
land’s manager in the First division, William Paul. Con
sider the following:
John Fred and his wife contributed $100 to Paul to
purchase a newspaper plant at Skagway with which it
was proposed to publish an Indian paper. John Fred died
and his squaw demanded a return of the $100, communi
cating her request to Paul, who answered as follows un
der date of February 19 of the present year:
“May our Father in Heaven sustain you at this time.
The $100 which you have invested in the printing plant
has already been paid over for the purchase of the plant
and is not immediately available for return.
“In the meantime, I am enclosing blanks for the
Mothers’ Pension. I am sure you will get some money
every month this way, and it will amount in the end to
many times the money you have invested in the printing
plant.”
Not satisfied with the beneficence of the Federal Bu
reau of Education which furnishes schools, hospitals, doc
tors, medicine and, in many instances, food and clothing
to the Indians, the latter aspire to have the Territory di
vide its meagre indigent fund with them, which fund, at
the present time is wholly inadequate to meet the de
mands made on it by white dependents.
The future welfare, aye, the very life of Alaska, is in
the hands of the voters. It is for the voters, the intelli
gent men and women of Alaska to decree whether whites
will continue to control their destinies or whether the gov
ernment machinery of the Territory is to be turned over
to an ignorant, inexperienced lot of Indians whose think
ing is done for them by a set of unscrupulous politicians.

Basil Manley, the ftew York “reformer” who tells the
President what to do about Alaska, is as weak on arithme
tic as on facts. His “reputable citizens” who gave him his
* dope simmer down to P. F. Gilmore, the only saloonkeep
er who ever had his license revoked in Ketchikan. It is
easy for a reformer to put his ciphers on the right side of
the figure 1.—Valdez Miner.

LOS ANGELES—The Times said
they had received a telegram from
Windsor, Ontario, signed by Ormiston

about me attempting to negotiate im
munity are without my authority. I
have nothing ^o fear except divorce
and the whole thing is a huge plot
which Prosecuting Attorney Keyes,
either fell for or is a p&rty to.” The
telegraph office said the message and
money was left under the door.

idence in connection with the case.
