CIRCUS TENT
We fell in with a bunch of tourists last summer—
and we were glad to fall out again. Not because of
those friendly visitors /from Maine, Massachusettes,
Iowa and Iouisiana, but because a person just can not
compose himself to the schedule made out in Seattle,
San Francisco, Chicago or New York.
The conductor herder them like a bunch of cattle.
“All right folks,” he would sing out merrily, ”we will
go to the Umpah cafe for lunch In 30 minutes we will
all get aboard for the next stop at Casserole We will
have 15 minutes to watch the smoke coming out of Mt
McKinley and that will bring us to the gold diggings
at six o’clock for a 10-minute survey Uefore you wash
your faces for dinner at the You-Tell-Em restaurant.”
Loving Alaska as we do, this sort of gets on our
nerves- After many years in the Territory we longed
to sidle up to one of the visitors and tell him what
this land is all about; how it might be a fine place
to settle down and how rich it is in material things
outside of its scenic attractions. But no,—the voice
of the conductor, “All aboard folks for the next stop.”
Whadya suppose those fellows did with that pur-;
ser’s safe they are reported to have found in the sunken 1
steamer Islander near Juneau? Did they try to dodge
the income, inheritance, mining tax or the levy on weF
goods?
WHEN IS A DELEGATE NOT A DELEGATE
Within a few months the delegate will arrive in
our midst full of “bull” and bombast, to explain why.
-he has done nothing save draw his salary for the per-1
iod which has elapsed since he told us the same story, i
When he was here last he told us that despite the j
fact that he had called Mr. Hoover a crook in public;
speeches made in the halls of Congress, yet because
Mr. Hoover is such a big man, he expected to be for
given for his blunders and would undoubtedly stand
well with the administration.
Developments since the last election have shown
the delegate to have been somewhat over optimistic.
It now appears that the administration did not forget
gratuitous insults as easily as our “Bull Fighter” had
hoped. The safest way to insure defeat for a political
appointment at Washington seems to be for the ap
plicant to obtain the endorsement o fthe Torreador.
Alaska has long complained of unjust discrimina
tion and lack of attention from Congress and other
authorities at Washington. What more can one expect
as long as we send such men to Washington?
The delegate is at best a lobbyist sent from Alaska
to aid Congress with sound advice and suggestions re
garding our needs. He has no vote and nothing to
trade for support except his personality and ability to
make friends for the Territory.
What a mistaken idea it is to send to Washington
a so-called delegate whose only Washington friends
are found in a little bunch of radicals and bolters hav
ing no more influence with the administration than has
the Toreador.
Daniel of old went into the lions den and made
his bluff stick. The delegate tried to do tht same thing
but the lions tore off every shred of his political vest
ments leaving him a sorry sight indeed.
The mother alligator’s highest ambition for her
son is that some day he may become a traveling bag.

HOPES TO PUT DEO MEN
" ON THEIR FEET"
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, (A3)—
i Charles J. Rhoades, new com
missioner of Indian affairs, is
charged with the gigantic task of
putting 350,000 redmen “on their
| feet.” It is the aim of Secretary
Wilbur to take them out of gov
| ernment care and make them
self supporting.
Not since Franklin K. Lane was
j secretary of the interior has there
; been such a drastic change in
administration attitude toward
| the Indians. They were given
| free rein at that time and many,
by unwise business moves, went
into bankruptcy.
WiY.h the new commissioner on
the job, the work of getting the
Indian out in the world and “on
his own” will be pushed.
Bill Henderson, better known as
“Big Bill” around Nome, is at Fair
banks, where he is engaged in
trapping.
Peter Erickson, a well known old
timer of the Interior, having been |
employed at the Kennecott mines I
for several years and who also J
served as game warden at McCar- !
thy, recently died at Salinas, Calif, j
Dr. J. W. Bayne, former Nome
dentist, is located at Fairbanks,
and has a splendid apartment fit
ted up with all the latest appli
ances for dental surgery, and is do
ing well.
