AND DOWN WITH CAR

July 12, 1926.
Mr. Wm. L. Paul,
Attorney at Law,
Ketchikan, Alaska.
Dear Paul:
We need some men in the
legislature who have had some
experience for the best interest
of the majority of the people,
be they Natives or Whites. I
have always believed that the
whole world was made for all
the people who inhabit it and
that neither any particular na
tion nor any particular race
should have a cinch on any of
it. True, some nations and
some races may have farther
advanced than others but that
is simply a circumstance and
an incident in the scheme of
things and while an all wise
Providence may be responsible
for this I cannot see where any
particular nation or for that
matter any particular race, has
any real, inherent superior
qualifications. My experience
and observations teach me that
with equal opportunities peo
ple of different nations and
color will reach just about the
same level and the late war
showed conclusively that no
particular nation is wholly
composed of heroes and any
other of cowards. I think
Kipling hit the nail square on
the head when he said that
Jury O’Grady and the Colonel’s
lady are sisters under the skin
and the sooner all of us mor
tals really learn this lesson and
take it to heart the better off
will we all be. Well but then
you are in the preaching bus
iness and not I.
