NOME. ALASKA. APRIL 26. 1915
A COMMENDABLE MEASURE.
Among tlie man\ hills introduced
into the second Alaska Legislature ii
is doubtful if there is one of more
commendable import than tb*'
promulgated by Senator Aldrich pro
viding the granting -of an allowance to
aged pioneers who are inoapaeiated by
sickness or disability from siua essfulh
earning a living It was, to lie sure, in
the interest of such that the Pioneer's
Home was established at Sitka In the
first Territorial Legislature and that
institution bus proved to la a blessing
to many an aged pioneer who lias ful
filled his term of active service in life
and is compelled to linger by the war -
side until Time shall toll his passing
hour, hut at the same time this com
mendable institution does not in many
ways meet the necessities In the
ease of aged women pioneers, no al
lowance is made fnr their ear* neither
in Sitka nor elsewhere, anil in addition
there are many males to whom the
thought of entering an institution
which is in reality an almshouse, is ns
gall and wormwood to the spirit. Sorry
the man or woman in whom some pride
does not persist and, that charity, he
it presented in the most inviting garb,
has yet a concealed sting for those
who have solely through ngp and in
fortunate circumstances been cast up.
like storm beaten derelicts, upon the
shoals of life, cannot he doubted. It
is in tho cause of such, both male and
female, that Senator Aldrich lias in
troduced his measure. The bill pro
vides for the payment of a maximum
sum of *12.50 per month to all male
persons who are etegible to enter tho
Pioneer Home and who do not care to
avail themselves of the privilege, and
also makes the same provision for fe
males who come within the require
ments pertaining to males. Tile fur
ther provision is made that an\ in
mato of tho Home may at any time
make application for tho stated allow
ance in lieu of the maintaincncc pro
vided in that institution. The allow
ance is to be paid quarterly to tho
commissioner of the district in which
the applicant resides, thus enabling tho
territory to assist benefit aries in any
part of Alaska A measure more
worthy of approval would he difficult
to find. Those who have given fifteen
years or more of their life to the
charting and upbuilding of this groat
territory and who have been so un
fortunate as to have failed in securing
a competence to provide for the years
of decrepitude ore worthy of help in
every way. Men and women who have
jriidori in wrestlnc from the bosom of
the primeval a borne for the future
Reiterations of men. those who have
faced the hardships and dared the
dangers of the wilderness, smoothing
tile rough places for those who follow
1
oil after: to such, the pioneers of am
land, the world owes a debt of deep
and everlasting gratitude. Hardship
and suffering have been their portion
for it is no lightsome task to blaze tin
trails across the pathless reaches of
the vast unknown imr to surmount the
obstacles flung by unbridled nature in
the path of puny man. and those who
have faced the task with undaunted
courage, striving until relentless time
has clainnd his due. ire surely worthy
of reward For such, the people of
Alaska have ever had a fond regard
and it was through a fire- recognition
of the merit of those who hfive fried
and failed, that the Sitka Homo sprang
, into being Vot as an unwelcome
I necessity, be it remembered, designed
j to shift the responsibility of t aring
for those who could no longer can- for
themselv-.*s. but ratio r as a kindh
testimonial, a recognition of the value
of the labors and hardships bourn by
j those who emild no longer endure and]
j wen* thus thrown helpless upon the
n rider mercies of the world. This, we
I believe was the spirit with w hich the
; Pioneers Home was Poinded, hut he
lm'■*.ttli the tre asure «.f Senator Mdrieh
i is a yet deeper sense of compassion f a

a kindlier sense of gratitude for their
