THE NATIVES
The New Native received a copy of
Wickersham's speech in the recent
election contest. On page 20 we find
the judicial? p-onunciamento:
"These who live cn the Hyda and
Klawock Indian Reservations are
not entitled to vote under the act
cf Cong'ess because they have not
taken up their residence separate
and apart from the tribe and
oepted the habits of civilized life."
Ail of which is so much fabricated
bunk. The natives in question, have
long deserted the places where tribal
customs prevailed. The three most im
portant native villages: Metlakatla.
Hydaburg and Klawock are all organ
zed in accordance with the heme rule
,’jws cf our territory.
The Hydah people left their old
homes seven years 3go and organized
a new town in order to shake the last
vestige of t-ibal procedure and to em
brace Without reservation ail the de
sirable habits of white men and their
institutions.
The present generation of natives
has fought for years in their old ha
bitues against the backward pull and
dominating weight of seniority that
characterized the leadership in tribal
fr. ThSse old timers are now almost
c ’met. in t el.’ place has come
re--, forward ic-cking and a receptive
mind with principles of social jus
ice.—The New Native.
Ns Great Redaction
Due in Lumber
Prices Yet
Horace F. Taylor, president of the
National Wholesale Lumber Dealers
Association, writing from Buffalo. N.
Y. to the Division of Public Works
and Construction Developments of the
U. S. Department of Labor, does net
hesitate to say material reductions in
lumber prices will develop very slowly
if at aij. Mr. Taylor says:
•'The very clear majority of opinion
we derive from representatives of the
industry in ail parts of the coun
t y is la effect that there will be no
furher reduction in the cost of lum
ber for a long period, and that there
is no safe ground, therefore, for post
poning building in the hope of a price
reduccion in this material. We look
;pon the present rather quiet condi
tions as temporary only and due to
place to very sound activity. The
cost of making lumber offers no
chance of reduction, both on account
of materials and supplies, and the
cost of labor which, it seems not only
necessary but desirable to maintian
at as nearly an edequate rate as pos
sible n view of the present cost of liv
ry In addition to the ordinary in
crease in demand that is expected, an
■rnusual call for lumber for export to
Europe will soon begin to have its
effect on the situation. Logging con
r Att’ons during the present winter have
ceen unfavorable, particularly in the
North, and lufnber production will ap
be less than that or normal
r? s 'or some time to come. There
: .o .. : - one possible conclusion based
upon the op nida of those consulted
i an:! that is that 33 far as the lumber
market is eonce ned. the present is an
; advantageous time to purchase.”
THE CROWNING HUMILIATION
A Eritish warship Has recently pass
ed through the Kiel canal, the for
bidden waterway which has been the
artery that has kept German ships in
close touch with eecn other whether
their anchors were cast in Heligoland
right or in the Baltic. This is the ca
nal the kaiser had dug before declar
ing war on the whole world and which
he rushed through w'th express speed
so that he could better carry out his
his purpose to dominate the earth.
It must have looked strange to
Germans line up along the canal to
see Eritish ships, those hated British
ships glide through the peaceful water
of Kiel. And yet all this wah done in
conformity with the armistice, which
permitted the Eritish to make this
trip of inspection. Eut think of it!
Suppose we had a canal we considered
as vital to our national welfare as
‘he Germans think of Kiel is to theirs.
Would we permit our ships to rust in
it for four years while we were shut
off from the remandcr of the world?
' To be fair, the Germans never had
a chance on the ocean with thei rves
sels which could-not dive at a mo
ment’s notice, and yet there is no one
pe-son in red-blooded America who
think ships flying the Stars and Stripes
would have been contented to remain
idle while an enemy vessel was about
Our saiiors would have gone out and
st uck as hard as they knew how, even
if t^ev believed it menr.t certain death
But the Germans did othc-wise. and it
must have been extremely humiliating
for them to see a British warship
steaming majestically and unafraid
through the costly Kiel canal—N.Y.
World.
There may be nothing in a name
but Atlantic pert are now to get
theirs back in news dispatched.
One would like to have taken the
news of Sedan to ex-Empress Eugenie
and watched her old eyes sparkiej
Though the fighting, has ceased, the
work-or-fight order has lost none of
its force foe everybody in this busy
wold.
War contracts, it is officially an
nounced, are not to be. canceled. Nor
should you let up on your knitting,
either.
Where is the fellow who. a few
months ago, was talking about German
efficiency and invincibility?
The Charlotte Observer slogans,
The Hog to the Front!" But it is al
luding to pork and not to profiteers.
