NOT A PENSION BUREAU
General Manager Lee H. Landis is
making a railroad out of the project
nearly completed by Col. Mears ,but is
encoutering much opposition from cit
izens o fthe interior metropolis of An
chorage, according to reports from
there .In a recent interview with a
newspaper there Mr. Landis intimated
that he was not running a pension bu
reau for indigent citizens but was try
ing to bring the railroad up to a point
where it would meet the deficit. In
this he will undoubtedly have the un
animous endorsement of the residents
of the rest o fthe railway section. Un
less the railroad is given every dol
lar of revenue it cannot be made to
pay, and if it does not pay the time
will come when it will be either aban
doned to its fate by the government or
leased to a private corporation. Col.
Landis should be encouraged in his ef
forts at economy, the many criticisms
being directed at him being unmerit
ed and discouraging. The towns along
the railroad must cease looking to the
management to provide a Christmas
tree for their residents. Every town
has many latent resources which will
be developed if other inc >mes are cut
off, making for a bigger and better
Alaska.

CHARLES EMSWILER
SEWARD, ALASKA
representative by the voters of tne
First division, evidently believes he is
a Moses leading his people out of the
wilderness. The trouble is with Paul,
who is highly educated, is that he
proposes to use ballots instead of edu
cation. He was one of the strongest
opponents of the literacy bill, before
the last legislature, and has other
wise hampered the advancement of his
people. There can be no question that
any man, be he whir.e or Indian, who
can read and write or pass the literacy
test, should be entitled to ovte. Or the
other hand, the man or woman, white
or otherwise who cannot read 01
write, has no right to vote on the ac
tions of the American people. This
law is on the statute books of every
state, and it not aimed at any race or
creed, but at the uneducated voter.
At this day and age there is no rea
son or excuse for illiteracy. The ig
norant white and the ignorant native
is a fertile field for the political dema
gog. The law as framed by the last
legislature was too cumbersome, and
required too many proofs of the voter.
It also left the qualification tests to
the judges. This placed a power in the
hands of the election officers, which
undoubtedly would have been used
wrongfully. The fact that a man can
not read the names on the ballot or
write his own name should be proof
enough, the time to test him is when
he registers.
The literacy bill will again be brot
1 up for passage at the next session of
i the legislature ,and it will be backed
by the members of the American Leg
ion and Womens’ Clubs all over the
teritory. There should be no politics
involved but a general desire on the
part of our citizens to attain a high
er standard in politics.
NEW YORK papers gave unstint
ed praise to Major Frank Martin ami
his companion, whom they claim are
gambling with death. While giving
praise where it is due what is the mat
ter with the prospector who gambles
with death every winter by going into
the hills with his outfit; or the hardy
mail carriers who face death weekly
on the trails. Alaskans flirt so much
with death that they become used to
it.

RED CROSS NOTES
While in the States Miss Fuller had
a talk with Mr. Jonathan Wagner, the
new director of the U. S .Bureau of
Education in Alaska, and with Mr. W.
T. Lopp, Superintendent of Education
in the Territory. They were much v
terested in the work that had been
done among the natives, and are con
sidering a substantial contribution to
ward the salary and expense of the
nurse who we hope will succeed the
Delano Nurse. The Bureau Heads at
Washington are being asked to appro
priate $1000 per year. A sum of $60
per month is already being paid by
the Bureau to the public health nurse
employed by the Red Cross at Wran
gell, so it is quite likely that assis
tance will be given the Seward chapter
where more natives are looked after.
The plan is as follows: The nurse will
work in the Branches during May,
June, July, August and September—
the rest of the year, except one month
for vacation, will be spent in Seward.
This arrangement will be much bet
ter for the nurse—and the Seward
people will know definitely, when she
is available.
Red Cross Conference
There is a movement under way to
have a two days’ Red Cross confer
ence in Seward, some time in June, to
which representatives from branches
will be invited . Outside, these meet
ings are called Regional Conferences,
and they have been found very helpful
in making the work of the Red Cross
better understood. Miss Yvete Taake,
a field worker from the Division ofFice
will be here and will be a great help
in making our meeting a success.
Consider Seward Good Chapter
Mr. Wm. Carl Hunt, manager of the
Pacific Division invited Miss Fuller to
speak on the work of the Seward
Chapter at a Red Cross meeting held
in the Whitcomb Hotel in San Fran
cisco. Workers from the Western
States were present. They all seemed
very much pleased with the results of
the last Seward Roll Call and with the
activities of our Junior Red Cross.
School at Kanatak
During her visits to Kanatak the
Delano Nurse has conducted a little
I school for the natives in connection
| with her health work. After each trip
reports and requests for a real school
have been sent to Mr. Lopp and Mr.
Wagner .We have just been inform
1 ed that this effort on the part of the
Red Cross has been successful. A
teacher will be sent there in the fall,
j Requests From Latouche
Latouche is one of the best branches
! of the Seward Chapter. The people
there contributed over $200 last Nov
ember. Mr. A. Klerck and Miss Mary
Ritchie, who represent the Red Cross,
have asked that the Delano Nurse visit
the natives at Chenoga, a settlement
near Latouche. Miss Fuller will go
over in the near future.
Delano Nurse May Be Withdrawn
It is the wish of the Delano Commit
tee in Washington, that demonstra
tions of public health nursing be made
in as many chapters as possible, thru
j the use of the Delano Fund. The limit
of time to be spent in each Commun
ity depends upon this committee.
From correspondence with Washing
ton, it seems probable that Miss Ful
ler may be recalled on September 30,
the end of her second year here. This
should mak no change in the work. If
the appropriation is received from the
Bureau of Education it should be pos
sible to raise the rest of the budget in
Seward and along the Peninsula.

Petersburg, who has spent some time
in the hospital there ^suffering from a
paralytic stroke, entered the Pioneer
Home last week.
