A NOTH El
GOOD FRIEND
GONI
kTJ
In the death of Hugo C. Wallace, former United
States Ambassador to France, Alaska looses anothei
staunch friend. Active in councils of the Deinociatic
party for many years, Mr. Wallace is said to have en
tered politics merelv for the pleasure he derived from
it. He never sought public office and although nomina
tions as governor and United States Senator were fre-,
quentlv offered to him, he constantly refused to run
for office. :
Born at Lexington, Mo., Mr. Wallace was educated
in public and private schools there. He had resided since
1887 at Tacoma, Wash., where he was prominent in
real estate and banking.
During the rush to the Klondike gold fields in 1897
Mr. Wallace organized the Washington and Alaska1
Steamship Company. During the Wilson administra
tion it was said that Mr. Wallace was closer to the
president than any other westerner and in a sense was
an adviser to Wilson on affairs concerning the West
ern part of the country and Alaska. He heartily en
dorsed the Alaska Railroad project to the president.
The passing of these good friends of Alaska are
keenly regretted by Alaskans and especially so in the
death of Hugh Campbell Wallace.
BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
We fail to see what terrible calamity would befall
the Indians of Alaska if government activities in
that direction were transferred from the Bureau of
Education to the Department of Indian Affairs.
Thus far we have seen only condemnation by Alas
ka papers regarding such a move. A man may have
been a scoundrel 20 or 40 years ago but if he since has
conducted himself with proper decorum befitting the
standards of society, we would trust him. And so it is
with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Because in years
gone by this department has been exposed in dishing
out a lot of dirt—others get by with the truth never
revealed—we fail to fling past administrations into
the face of the present which, as far as our knowledge,
which is limited we must confess is concerned, has a
clean sheet.
In any case the Indians will not suffer; nor the
Eskimo. In fact it would be an interesting experiment
and we do not hessitate going on record as saying
that the Indians themseves wall be glad to be in the care
of the same department as are their brothers in the
States. Such a transfer will not effect individuals of the
present organization in the Territory. They have and
are, today, proving their worth in the numerous out
posts. •
A boy was killed the other day because he wanted
money for a ‘good time.’ He was shot by officers lay
ing in ambush as he arrived at a lone spot where he
expected to find $10,000 left by a doctor to whom he
had written a threatening letter. A ‘good time!’ What
a moral lesson could be written on that subject. Thank
God clean, wholesome people are in the majority. How
long it takes some people to learn the best of good times
since times immemorial is found in homes.
None of the real tonics tonics of life are sugar
coated.
