Sauirday, Sept 18,
We cannot helpbeleiving that Callahan was right'
in his contention at the last meeting of the City Council.
Callahan took the stand that a bid given on work
for the city should stand as it waslmade and that the suc
cessful bidder should stand by his ^contract for the very
good and sufficient reason that other bidders had been
prevented from getting, the work. Callahan also objected
to the closing up of the sewer boxes before inspection.
However the rest of the Council disagreed with
Callahan, and the extra compensation tvas voted for (he
extra work that the Chief of Police inspected??? after the
sewer was closed up. Now Callahan may be wrong and 1
the othe. members of the Council right but in this case as
in others where Callahan has stood watch over the City’s'
dollars, the people would need considerable explaining to
make th em on the side of the majority even if she amount
was small.
We notice that St. Mathew’s Hospital is
scheduled lo hold a fair in the near future. Church fairs
I
are no doubt very laudable affairs as a rule but in this
case we would like to ask the management of this church'
fair if it is not a fact that a great deal of clothing etc., is
not shipped in by charitable people on the ou side for free '
distribution among the Indians; and we wouli also like to
. , I
know if it is rot true that since the Hospital was closed!
this material that charitable people ship in for the Indians
has been received.
We are getting our regular fall sight of the brown
sons and daughters of the forrest. There should be some
way of having the Commissioners handle these cases; lor
there is no question that the natives make an awful stab
at these witness fees. Regarding the latest Fort Yukon
case, if only a very small part of what we hear from a re
liable source is true, it is an outrage that the time of the
court^should be taken up and money wasted in giving wit
ness fees to these natives. T h is native, Margaret who ac
cuses several natives of raping her has the worst kind of
reputation, so much so that those natives who make any
claim to respectability refuse to
associate with her. The authori
ties of both 'banana and Circle
induced her to leave those places
in a hurry. VYhile we can undr
sumd that under presnt condi
tions the officials have no choice
of doing any other than they do,
still there ought to.be some way
oi altering conditions so that
tnese native cases should be Set
tled without giving like we do ev
ery year a vacation to these na
tives.
Acting President W. J. Battle,
University of Texas, and Dr. Hen
ry W. Harper, dean of the college
of graduates and professor of
chemistry at the university, have
issued Statements denying the
charge made by Joseph Weldorv
*
Bailey, former U. S..Senator in a
recent speech at San Antonio
that the University of Texas was
“a hot bed of Socialism.”
In his statement President
Battle said that the teacher to
whom Bailey referred was Dr. L.
M. keasbey, who, Battle stated,
had opposed Bailey in a speak
ing campaign in Arizona, when
that state adopted the initiative,
referendum and recall and Bailey
opposed it. It was further stated
that the campaign was waged
hotly and that since the adoption
ol the initiative, referendum and
recall by Arizona, Bailey had felt
animosity toward Dr. Keasbey.
As for the political views of
the state university faculty mem
bers, a poll would show that they
are strongly Wilson Democrats if
such a term can be used to ex
press Democratic belief Howev
ver there are others who jnay
nave different beliefs, just as we
have some Germans among the
racu ty who are individually pro
German and others who favor
the allies.
The same charge has been made
in practically every state institu
tion of the country.
