Class hatred is not the peculiar
trait of only socialists, “reds” and
labor leaders.

The laws of our country are full
of discriminations against sects,
races and classes of people. They
were inserted because of the bias,
animus or hatred of legislators
elected by the people. The unthink
ing people who elected them are to
blame for the discriminations.
The Golden Rule is seldom repeat
ed by churchmembers and others
during business hours or on election
day.
Twenty-five per cent of the men
drafted dining' the late war were
illiterate. We the citizens of the
United States are to blame for this
condition. Our country will not be
safe-guarded by shutting these il
literates from participation in gov
ernment, but can only be saved by
seeing to it that every child has a
chance to go to school and by keep
ing them in it.
If i1 literacy is an evil and a danger
to our country, after you have shut
the voting booths to the illiterates,
you still have them. The danger
remains to threaten our homes, our
stores, our wives and children,
doesn’t it?
Can you repeat the Golden Rule?
Does it begin “do unto others as—.”
Suppose your child were one of
these to whom I refer?
Do you wonder that 1, a man horn
and raised in the Church, should
say that our Alaskan churches are
not Chirstian churches? That they
are mostly society churches? That
the ministers—with few exceptions
—care more about their records of
church attendance, the size of the
collections, than they do about the
salvation of souls?
Henry O’Malley faithfully prom
ised several senators that he would
clean up the Bureau of Fisheries.
Conditions last year were worse than
they ever have been.
The officers of the Sitka Camp
are Chairman F. D. Price; vice
Chairman Mark Jacobs; Treasurer,
Martin Thompson; Secretary A. P.
Hope.
Hoover’s advisory board for the
conservation of Alaska fisheries is
to l)p composed of the “best thoughts
oi the country.” We have too much
of the “best thoughts.” What we
need now is best action for the in
terest of the whole territory and not
for the extension of destruction as
during the past twenty years.
From tho reading of statements
made by Messrs. O’Malley and Hoov
er, Alaskans know nothing about the
fisheries.

Does anyone remember how long
it is since a soul was converted in

We suppose that the territorial
school tax will be deducted from the
above and the balance of $25.00 will
go to enrich the small businessman.

According to the new schedule for
the hiring of labor the Packing
Trust in Article 12 stipulates that
their “peons” shall not be allowed
more than $20.00 to spend in Alaska
during the entire season.
The Packers are now hiring seine
crews but they do not know as yet
what schedule of prices they are go
ing to pay. They never know until
the middle of the season what they
will be able to pay.
The definition for the word “Con
servation” is supervision—protection
— preservation. We would say thal
insofar as the Packing Trust is con
cerned Hoover’s avowed policy of
conserving our fisher'es is the real
thing.
