The writer of this is an oldtim
j er, a pioneer, charter member of
I Igloo No. 1, who has done his share
towards the development of Alas
ka during those early days when
life was hard and hazardous.
He has reached near three
score years and ten, like many
others winding up now more or
less disabled.
Such men have generally been
of a reckless nature, giving little
thought to future bad luck, self-re
liant unil the last. A frame of
• mind of that kind can only be
defended by accusing Mother Na
ture, herself. Yet, they were the
' kind the country needed. They
; blazed the trails and made things
hum.
• Confronted with infirmity and
i old age they find themselves re
legated to the scrap heap. Merci
less rejections meet them every
i where.
So what will you call the last
recourse, the pension and the
Pioneer Home at Sitka? I have
an application blank before me.
Some excerpts follow:
“You shall be in absolute need.
“Upon the death of the benefi
ciary of these acts the Territory
shall have the same claim against
the estate of such person, as pro-,
vided in chapter 23, Session Laws
of 1919.
“Have you any other near re
latives in Alaska or elsewhere?
Give their names and residences, j
Do you receive any assistance
from them?”
Then follows eight more para
graphs of questions and state
ments required for no other pur
pose than a possible chance to
withdraw the helping hand.
“Give the names of four res
ponsible persons others than those
mentioned in the affidavits, to
whom you can refer.”
To find expressions of courser
minds than the authors of those
paragraphs you certainly have to
travel far.

trophy; the Greek word means
benevolence, love towards fellow- |
man. It is not humanism. It is
the craven designs of cruel class
rule on abject misery, repellant
to any sense of kindness. It can |
only serve to prolong a misery!
that is worth less than nothing, i
I ask myself if the authorities j
ever had a man, -who possibly j
could live independently who were ;
willing to sign those articles. I j
positively decline to believe it, till
I see such a profligate knave proven
up before me.
And here we had heard of mag
animity, of a pension that were
given freely for hardships en
dured.
