SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, VPR1L
The story of the trials in Fairbanks of prominent men on charges in
volving young girls might have the effect outside of causing strangers to
believe that Alaska people have very little moral sense. It looks peculiar
to say the least that four men well known should all be brought up together
on t-.i c , . I all > ■ hen evei> m.i
length of time in interior Alaska knows only too well that similar practises
have been going on there for years and years. To arrest a few men in
banks, right at the doors of the marshal and the district attorney, is only
touching the mere fringe. If those marshals and district attorneys had done
their duty in the past there would he no trials in l airbanks now. In tin
Koyukuk. Nulato. Stevens village. Circle, Fugle and in fifty other places in
interior Alaska the practises for which men are about to be sent to the peni
tentiary now were regarded as mere peccadilloes, something to laugh about
and. indeed, something often to boast about. The white trash of the Yukon
camps have never regarded a squaw as deserving the same rights as a
white woman and an atmosphere ha.- been created which has affected the
girls themselves as well as the trash. The practise hag actually become the
,,:.tom until promiscuous attention of the kind see mi si to be as natural as
it would be for a Turkish i’x-ha to have a harem full of girls in their early
teens. The four Fairbanks men happened to have the misfortune to live near
a town which is the center of legal activity. They were no more guilty than
many others, but. after all, a beginning had to be made some time and it
can never be ma»!e too d»odn.
On the Yukon river are two types of white men. The vast majority, of
course, an- men who may not be saints but they retain the self-respect and
the knowledge of the distinction between what is merely an error and wind
is .1 crime. This is speaking of the men in the remote camps who are far
away from all that civilization and family restraint stand for. Amongst
them are the flotsam and jetsam of many countries, men who have no in
centive to keep them men. Those arc the people who have made the
natives fool that some superior power has intended them to be only tin
slaves to satisfy the desires of the palefaces.

ENGLAND TO BAR GERMAN
RHODES STUDENTS
(Special to Gateway by United Proas)
LONDON, March 28.—A bill has
been introduced in Parliament to
change the conditions of the Rhodes
Scholarship Trust so as to eliminate
endowments for German students at
Oxford.
There were 15 of these scholarships
provided by the late Cecil Rhodes, of
250 pounds (about $1,250) each, nomi
nations to be made by the Kaiser.
The endowments, like those to Ameri
can students, were made in the belief
that ‘‘a good understanding between
England, the United States of
America and Germany would secure
the peace of the world, and that edu
cational relations form the strongest
tie.”
The move to undo Rhodes’ work is
a tacit admission that, so far as Ger
many is concerned, his idea, generou*
as it was, was mistaken.
