• The Bureau of Education apparent
ly is falling down in its work in Al
aska, if the many complaints to the
westward are to be taken as a fact.
The residents of the westward com
plain that the schools are held at a
time when natives are out trapping
with their families and that these
schools should be held in the sum
mer time when the Indians are all
gathered at the villages working in
the canneries. The reindeer situa
tion is also a problem as the herds
aie increasing rapidly and cannot be
used without consent of the Bureau.
Another thing that should be chang
ed according to residents is the
ukase against the schools selling ar
ticles manufacturered by the stud
ents. At Dillingham there are a
large number of stoves and ranges
made by the natives, of superior

quality, which would be sold readily ,
if the Bureau had not forbidden their!
sale, the residents want them and
they would bring from $10 to $50
each. A doll’s parka is also made
that would sell to the tourists like
hot cakes if they were sent over
here. The school could build up a big
trade in novelties were they permit
ted to do so.
In case a literacy bill comes up be
fore the next session of the legisla
ture, it should be framed to include
all whites not able to read and write
as well as Indians . The Gateway be
lieves that any Indian who is educat
ed enough to read and write is on the
road to good citizenship and is far
ahead in this respect »f the white
man who can do neither. Any bill
framed for the purpose of disfran
chising the Indians will fail. It should
be general in scope and show no ra
cial antipithies. There could be no
objection to such bill, as no man or
woman is a good citizen who cares so
little for his or her country as to
pass up its educational advantages.

The Indian as such may be develop
ed to a point where he will be a
worthy citizen and a loyal American.
A letter received today by a pro
minent republican of the Third divi
sion declares that while he believes
the will of the voters should be ob
served, that there are exceptions. He
does not deny the right of Mr.
Frame to change his politics, but be
lieevs that a man should start at the
bottom and be proven before being
given an office so important as that
of Territorial committeeman. He al
so believes that Mr. Frame’s elec
tion was shady in that many demo
crats are known to have called for a
Republican ballot in his district. He
claims these voted for Frame to
start something.

One advantage that we enjoy as a
newspaperman is that a charming
girl, an accomplished neighbor wom
an or girl friend, can stop us on the
street and hand us a sheet of scent
ed note paper with writing on both
sides, and anybody who happens to
be bystanding at the moment will
think it is an item for the paper. We
mi^ht add that that’s what it is.—
