A COMMENDABLE PLAN.
Education ttint it is the intention of tlie
government to establish u reservation
in the Tubuktullk river section, to
which the native Eskimo of tin- Golovin
Bay district will later be trail#'rred,
indicates a new departure in the gov -
crniuonlul methods of raring for ttie
native population of this district With
the visible evidences of tin- deteriora
tion of the native tribes when in dose
contact with the whites, ever apparent
to the observer, it would seem that the
plan should have a most wholesome
effect on tho future well being of the
native and relieve him from contact
with conditions that cannot but bo
detrimental to his moral and physical
w ell being The native tribes of North
western Alaska are a sturdy and self
reliant people, presenting a sharp con
trast to their dusky skirine,, brethren I
of more congenial dimes the majority
of whom have no particular object in |
life save to evade the task of earning
a living wherever possible. Much has
been said and written concerning ibe
picturesque Indian tribes of tbo United
States and "Poor Boo" has come in for
a goodly quantity of sentimental sym
pathy on the part of those who looked
upon him as the downtrodden victim of
the shameless avarice and viciousness
of the white race. That the Indian lias
suffered severely at the hands of the
white race is not to he denied but,
while making no attempt to mitigate
this fact, a brief inspection vf tho aver
age Indian tribe of the states will
speedily convince one that much of this
sympathy is wasted. The line of con
trast between the native tribes of the
United States and those of this section
of Alaska is most clearly defined and
the balance of credit is almost entirely
in favor of the latter
The Eskimo of this
section display
few of tho degenerate tendencies of the
Southern tribes and in the main are of
a much higher standard of being de
spite a most inhibitlve environment. In
general they are active and self-reliant
and are more than willing to help
themselves wherever possible, a some
thing which can he said of but few In
dian tribes further South. According
to the statements of tiie early pioneers
the Eskimo rave of the present day dis
l‘lay a maiked advance over their for
t>ears of a generation hack and in tho
vase of those living in close contact
with the vvliitvs, the change in tenden
cies of thought, habits and customs, is
described ns remarkable. At the same
lime it is admitted that the native
differs by such contact In both a moral (
ind physical sense, which fact can he
readily discerned by those who have!
watched the tendencies of the younger
generation Away from diiect contact j
with the white, this sturdy and docile
race can be much improved by receiv |
Ing the benefit of the white man's
knowledge hence the plan to place them
on suitable reservations where develop
ment under the tutelage of the superior
race can progress to the best advantage
is commendable in the highest degree !
I'nhampered by the stutlfying and vi I
clous influences of indiscriminate con '
tact with tlie whites we believe that I
tiie native will prosper and increase
and in time become lit to take a place
In the affairs of the country on terms
ulmost equal to those of the whites

A NAVAL GENERAL STAFF.
—__
1 lie ll'i U1S of tin* pluvisiofi in the
naval bill ini' a "strategical bureau
■ ue nut at natal, so that infurmeu com
inenl upon this measure is nut now
l> 'ssible. Hut its approval by tile house
aval committee is to be welcomed at
any late as evidence that tile necessity ,
i"i better agencies of defense co-urdi
hatiou and preparation is cornuig home
to ut least one responsible committee.
I'he most important event, perhaps,
•<i tlie history of our regular army was
the creation nr tVin > .. ■■■■ ■— i
navy lacks and sorely needs a general
staff. If this “strategical board" with
its chief of operations," is an agency
corresponding in authority and respon
sibilities to tlie general staff of the
army, it will be able to accomplish
great things for the navy. Hut it should I
have ample powers, otherwise it will i
be bullied by doctrinaire civilian se n
taries roused as a scrapegoat for in-!
compelents.
A naval establishment is one of tlie
most complicated of organisms. To
administer it well, to develop it. to
keep it ready for use in any crisis
should not l»e left to haphazard. There
should be a body of experts working
constantly and harmoniously upon its
problems Secretaries come and go ac
cording to political fortunes. They are
all civilians. That is our system, but
we should reduce its defects to a min
imum by providing a continuing body
of experts—continuing ns a. body but
ml ns to personnel to develop naval,
jolicv, provide plans of operation, study
tnd help to solve problems, coordinate;
nanagement, and aet as authoritativi
• Iviser to the secretary, the president
»nd eongress on all naval matters.
In other words, we ought to have In
telligence enough to learn front the
> xperietui* of England, the greatest of!
naval powers, the value of the admir
alty or, ns the Germans call their cor
responding body, a general staff for,the
navy.—-Ex.
