mistreatment, either Indian or white
man would suffer for their deed.
Thats our past Alaska history, we
are not unawered at very critical
time, that misunderstanding that
causes race prejudice will grow, un
less we get busy, and try and under
stand each other, and get to the
road of just settlement, iet the pub
lic get the reading of the Alaska
Indians opinion on Indian questions,
such as, political both municipal and
Territory, and school question, lets
say them in plain words, we must
understand each other, the old say
ing, house against house cannot
stand, unless work together, and un
derstand each other, will not accomp
lish the result of our labor.
The order of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood is not so called “Dan
gerous organiation,” and not or
ganized to introduce Indian system,
and Indian custom, and not organiz
ed to brew any trouble, or revolt
against the United States Govern
ment, but organized so that all its
membership be one Hundred percents
Americans, above all to answer the
call to color in time of trouble.
The purpose of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood shall be to assist and
encourage the Native in his advance
ment from his native state to his
place among the cultivated races of
the word, to oppose, discourage and
overcome the narrow injustice of
race prejudice, and to aid in the de
velopment of the Territory of Alas
ka, and in making it worthy of a
place among the states of North
America.
For over twelve years this or
ganization been organized, and con
vent annually in different towns in
South Eastern Alaska, discussing
many different questions pretaining
to the Native in his advancement
from his native state to his place
among the learned people of the
world, and many other important
questions, sometimes we are fortune
to have a public men, and men from
different denominations, also from
different department in the federal
Government, address the convention
on subject assigned them, all point
ing one direction to up lift the
Alaska Indians in his advancement.
At the convention held at Wrangell
some years gone by it was agreed
to send a man to Washington, D. C.
to represent Alaskans and Alaska
fishermen, could not find any one
to perform such duty, finally Mr
William L. Paul elected to go, he
did perform his duty well, ever since
then Mr. William L. Paul elected and
assigned to perform different duties,
assigned by the convention, at this
present time, it is the wish of the
people from Dixons Entrance to
Yakutat to seat Mr. William L Paul
at the legislature, why not, its the
elect and wish of over 2000 Ameri
can citizens.
The only solution to the whole
question is to give Alaska Indians
their full rights.

Trouble Both, Ways—An Austra
lian barrister tells of a black fellow
charged in a country town with
stealing. His solicitor decided to
put him in the box to give evidence
on his own behalf. The magistrate,
being doubtful if he understood the
nature of an oath, undertook to ex
amine him on the point.
“Jacky,” he said, “you know what
will happen to you if you tell a
lie?”
“My oath, boss,” replied Jacky,
“me go down below—burn long
time.’ ’
“Quite right,” replied the magis
trate. “And now do you know what
will happen if you tell the truth?”
“Yes, boss. We lose ’em case.”—
