FAIRBANKS DAILY-NEWS MINER
PRAISES WORK OF
WILLIAM L. PAUL
Perhaps our esteemed contem
porary, The Fairbanks Daily News
Miner, did not realize that in re
printing the following article, it
was approving the work of the two
dangerous radicals, William L.
Paul and Hosea H. Ross. We re
member several editorials from the
same paper which declared that
Alaska would promptly go to the
“bow-wows” If the 3ame “Indian”
Paul was elected and permitted to
the legislature.
We are inclined to think that a
great deal more credit than blame
would attach to the liberal forces
of the last legislature if the meas
urs advocated by them could be
discussed on their merits rather
than thru prejudice.
The appropriation to aid the
Orthopedic Hospital which renders
valuable aid to Alaska children was
inserted in the general appropria
, 1 ~ .- =
tion bill by Hosea H. Boss ot Fair
banks at the request of William L.
Paul who supported the appropri
ation by exhibiting facts sent him
by Glenn Bartlett, well-known ho
tel man, formerly manager of the
Oastineau Hotel, now of the Hotel
Stevens of Seattle. The article fol
lows:
“RECOGNITION FOR
ORTHOPEDIC”
Both houses of the Alaska legis
lature have passed a bill appropri
ating $6,000 for the Orthopedic
Hospital in Seattle. The contribu
tion to the upkeep of that fine in
stitution is an official recognition
of its services to Alaska and to the
helpless and unfortunate children
of the Pacific Northwest.
The manner in which the Ortho
pedic Hospital has extended its
benefits far beyond Seattle and
the state of Washington is a source
of satisfaction to the high minded
and public-spirited women who look
after its destinies. Originally its
m
field was limited to the treatment
of crippled children, but it has
r
grown, and expanded until it is to
day a general hospital for children.
“The Orthopedic Hospital is
unique in its management and its
upkeep. In the east, where mon
ey lias been accumulated and hand
ed down through two and three
generations, it is a common thing
to endow worthy hospitals. How
ever, in the West, where the pres
ent generation is just beginning to
bequeath its fortunes there are no
great philanthropies. The money
for the Orthopedic is contributed by
thousands and through the efforts
of many noble women. Every dol
lar is sanctified by the love and
good wishes of the donor.—Seattle
Times.
