KETCHIKAN. ALASKA, MAY 29, 1916.
ALMOST INCREDIBLE
We are in receipt of a letter written on the Nome
Chamber of Commerce stationary, signed by Robert
James, Chairman, and Dr. J- L- Wesley, Secretary.
The letter is accompanied by a circular containing
affidavits of C. O'Brien, A Nicolis, E- J. Fox and F
Lit*, who claim to have been inmates of the Morn
ingside asylum, at Portland. Oregon, in which they
relate the treatment they received at the hands of the
author ties in charge
Of course, we don’t know these men, neither have
we ever been confined to the Morningside asylum_
than? goodness—therefore we cannot speak with
direct knowledge. But if one half of what they swore
to is true, it is high time that every man, woman and
child take a hand in a war against that institution;
and in the “vent that we cannot obtain rebef through
our generous—in spots—government, let us dig down
our po--kets r-nd build 3 place where our unfortunate
fellowmen may at least be safe from abuse
Tre treatment complained of is not without hav
ing reached the proper authority, but thus far nothing
h-if oecn done- From that must we conclude that
rutse men mis-represent or must we believe that the
autnorities who could remedy the abuses complained
of are so deprived of human feeling as to remain
oeaf in the face of such condition- It is incredible
Yet what else can we believe- Is our Governor asleep?
A F1>H NEVER LIVED OUT OF WATER.
Looking over our exchanges yesterday, we came
across the Cook Inlet Pioneer, a daily newspaper pub
lished a. Anchorage- Alaska. The plant was pur
chased a few days ago by Charles E- Herron, an old
scarred standpat republican who has mixed in many
battles, was defeated many times but never gave up
until htr purchased the Pioneer- In one of his first
editorials he says, “The Cook Inlet Pioneer shall
not be a political paper ” This forced us to exclaim;
' Is the world coming to an end?”
We are assayed that Mr. Herron ha.- pulled
man..- varieties of political stunts during his long
career as a politician in which he has been more
or less successful, but when he attempts to pull this
one. lie simply invites criticism. It is just as im
possible for Mr. Herron to keep out of politics than it
is for a fish to live out of water. And take it from
us. when the bell rings at the beginning of a political
campaign, he’ll never fail to answer the call.
The old standpat republicans—we have a few
here—say that they are ready t« stand for the
success in the coming election o! the reun'ted re
publican party—"a union between the progressive
and the republican parties as a means to an end—an
end of uncertainty and hesitation-” This is all very
well, but are they willing to stand for the progressives
to rule? That’s the question- If they are ready to ac
cept and obey Roosevelt’s dictations- a reunion is
possible, otherwise, nixy. Turn about is fair
PIT THEM OUT.'
Those who come to this country from other lands
are entitled to the same privileges as every Ameri
can citizen enjoys, but some of them seem to think
that they are entitled to more
Press dispatches reported that in the sanguinary
riot at East Youngstown. O., ninety per -ent. of the
rioters were foreigners and in the recent net at
Braddock. Pa-, resulting in the killing of two men.
press dispatches again report, the men killed were
foreigners and most of the mob were without creden
tials as American citizens
The time has come to take note of this situation
\\^e are glad to read in the news dispatches that Dis
trict Attorney Jackson, of Pittsburg, has annmounced
that he will take steps at once to secure the deporta
tion of ail foreigners connected with the mob at Brad
dock. This is the remelv.
Congress is busy passing an immigration law that j
will keep out illiterates, but more necessary is a law
that will put every immigrant on probation until he
can prove that he is worthy of American citizenship
and that will subject him to deportation whenever he
joins a mob and proclaims there is “So God and No
Master!’ in this land of liberty.
We commend Judge O’Boyle, of Wilkes-Barre. Pa.,
on his announcement that naturalization w-il] be de
nied to members of the Industrial Workers of the
World as “undesirable" and un-American
President Wilson well said in his recent address
at the opening of the National Service School Military
Encampment for Young Women at Washington, that
we need a revival of national spirit and that we have
been thinking too much about our individual selves
and too little about our country- We welcome the
immigrant who comes to us to help build up our great
country. There is room for him always- But we have
no room for those who regard liberty as license and
the flag as a rag to be spit upon.
Out they go!—(Leslie’s Weekly.
LET EVERY MAN SWEEP BEFORE HIS OWN DOOR
Every man hath in his life sins enough, in his own
mind trouble enough, in his own fortunes evil enough,
and in performance of his offices failings more than
i enough, to entertain his own inquiry; so that curiosity
| after the affairs of others cannot be without envy
! and an ill mind.—Albert Pike.
