WANT TO KEEP THEM "JIM CROWED"
. r .j,y.v ':. i- ; j. '
The big interests of Alaska, for the most part, do not want
the children of the Indians of that j territory educated and
trained - ' I " . j
They want to keep them "Jim Crowed."
Thev want the Indiana denied a better! outlook on life than
that of the most immoral, most despised and most menial etass
their present outlook ; or their outlook before some of their
boys . and. girU had -attended the Salem United States Indian
Training school at Chemawa. 1 i
5 The spokesmen of these big interests, and others conscious
ly or unconsciously working in their behalf, have been spreading
the story that thVlndian pupils from Alaska readily contract
tuberculosis wheiatransf erred from their home environments
to the Salem school They either know this is a lie or repeat the
lie because they belieya it will serve their ends ,.
i And they have been saying that the Alaskan students, after
finishing their training at the Salem ! school, do not take up
readily with their old ways; that they grow out of their former
environments rj ' :
. 'And this is a fact; and a most creditable fact, to the grad
uates "of i Chemawa. These boys and girls are naturally of a
superior order of intelligence. They are tractable. They learn
readily. : . -! '
: Why should they not desire better ways of living, having
learned these better ways here? If the training of the schools
for Indians 'is good for anything, it is good for just this. That
is what it is for. It is to give the Indians trades; to teach them
methods of work, and. habits of work ; to enable them to become
useful citizens and to bring up their families in the ways of
industry and morality and orderly .civilization, r
The, attempt to keep the Indians of Alaska "Jim Crowed"
musi De neaaea on. ineir cnnaren must stui come xo me oaiem

right is wrong. Dead wrong. Wrong from every single angle.

DR.
(Salem Journal.) ! . -: -
It is with regret that the people of Salem hear that there is a
possibility that Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, for the past ten years president
of Willamette University, may not return to resume his work," at the
expiration of his leave of absence, on account of his health, broken
as a result of his strenuous and' successful efforts in upbuilding the
Institution. M V'v'r? -' -t 4-.. .i -ti . ..
"i Daring the years that Dr. Doney has been a resident of Salem he
has ibeen foremost in community as well as educationoal affairs, for
hast been foremost in community as well as educational affairs, for
lamette speaks for itself, for the university has more than doubled
in size and attendance and all that makes a university worthwhile
under his administration. - Its standards of scholarship have been
raised, fine buildings have been erected, and a permanent endowment
secured, through the goodwill and cooperation ot the community that
he did much to secure. j,, -;. . . t
Neither Willamette nor Salem can well afford to lose Dr. Doney,

icuuiuic ori ciautc, great executive & un
ity, unfailing tact and wide popularity made him an asset to. Oregon as
well as to Methodism. - .-!-..;-! "4'
(The above from the Salem Journal Is a most deserved tribute.
The latest news, however, from Cambridge, Mass.. where Dr. Doney is
seeking by rest and treatment to regain his health, is that he has
"turned the corner;". that he Is gaining in weight, and has more hope
of early recovery than he had for some time after leaving Salem.)

corporations were soulless. Maybe
some of them are, but we have
concluded that corporations - are
composed of human I beings, and
under ; human .conditions act I as

attention by a circular from (tlie
Southern Pacijic railroad. In the
course of . theScircular it says:
"Soulhern Pacific will touch el
bows with a lot of happiness this
month. For Christmas Is coming
and the railroad will help to make
the holiday a success for countless

"The thought of Christmas
brings to mind: station platforms
bustling with happy travelers com

express offices with piles of (ever
greens and boxes whose contv-ts
will be found in front or many

The railroad carries the turkes

OXK KDrCATIOXAL DANGER
' As the session of the legislature
approaches the subject of our in
stitutions : of : higher ' education
comes more f emphatically before
the people. " j We have ' a millage
tax but ft does not provide enough
money. Unless there inelp some
'ay. the schools caft not develop
as they should, and right here is
the danger.
Every school is struggling to be
better, struggling for leadership.
struggling for supremacy. This
is dangerous to the educational
system. We shoald have, one uni
versity, one'-agficutuiii ' college,
and one normal school." Then If it
is . necessary," have branches else
where for all , except the univers
ity. The ambition to excel is
laudable and there is no particu
lar criticism to be applied to any
one, but there must be vigilance
on the part of the public to see
that we do not have three state
universities in Oregon. The three
institutions are doing such excel
lent work and meeting such a real
demand that instead of clothing
them ;with more authority and
power they should be encouraged,
to develop along their chosen
lines. '
IX THE OPEX
A month' ago the air was full
of rumors and all sorts of wild
reports were going around. As
the session of the legislature ap
proaches these rumors are being
cleared up and the public is as
sured of a sensible, Industrious
legislative session. At the critical
time, or as is generally said the
psychological time, Mr. Burdick,
who is to be speaker, cleared the
atmosphere with a straightforward
manly declaration on the subject
of legislation. :
All legislatures are in danger of
legislative secrecy, of things quiet
ly being put over. Unfortunately,
lobbyists ia Oregon do not have
to register. This is a weakness
that tells in legislation. Lobby
ing is legitimate; it always
has been and always will be, j but
a lobbyist should be in the open
because he wants to put something
special across and he should be
marked for publicity so that; he
can not put anything across
against the public welfare.
A LEADER GOXE
Julius Kabn, the California con
gressman who has just died, was
a real American., He was born
in Germany. He was a republi
can member of congress when the
war broke out. ' The moment war
was declared he forgot politics
and was one of the most intelli
gent as well as persistent ones
back of the president through all
the trying times we were at war.
It was not until war was over and
peace was declared that he reaf
firmed his. allegiance to the repub
lican party!. He simply forgot
everything Jin meeting his oppor
tunity to serve America. Mr.
Kabn was IS years in congress
and made a record worthwhile. U
GOVERX3IEXT IX BUSINESS
' We have heard ' a good f deal
about government In business.
There has been a great outcry
against it. The outcry comes only
when people are hurt themselves.
The government has been in the
printing business for many years.,
Stamped envelopes are sold at
about half the regular price, and
competing with ievery printing of
fice in the country. Yet no one
seems to cry out against this
wrong. It is al straight case of
government in business, however.

THE NEWS THAT LILLIAN
GAVE TO MADGE.
"Well, Madge! ! The trick is
turned!"
Lillian's , voice held gratified
triumph as, after coming swiftly
into my room and locking the
door behind her, she came up to
me, put her hands on" my shoulders
and uttered her cryptic little sen
tence.! ' 1 ;
It was the morning of the 4th
day' following the dramatic exit
of the man. Smith, from the neigh
borhood, and while I had shared
somewhat- her tense suspense as
to the success of Allen Drake's es
pionage, the uneasiness caused by
Dicky's silence and Dr. Pettlt's ac
cusation, which I could not alto
gether banish from me, had crowd
ed my interest. in the government
work into the background. But
her triumphant paean brought
back my interest, and I clutched
her excitedly. -
"You mean you've heard from
Mr. Drake?" I asked.
"Five minutes ago!" she said.
"A long telegram. Want to read
it?" -
' She was so matter-of-fact that
I had no suspicion of anything out
of the ordinary as she put some
telegraph blanks in my hand. And
then as I scanned seemingly min
ute' data concerning the yield of
wheat and other crops of a Can
adian farm with directions for the
negotiation of a sale of the prop
erty, I looked up at her In amaze
ment, to see her lips twitching in
to an aumsed grin.
"Oh, I see!" I said, glad that
the strain upon her nerves had
lifted sufficiently for her to Jest.
"A code!"
"One of little Allen's niftiest."
she rejoined. "Would you like to
decipher it, or shall I tell you what
is in it?"
-:''.
"He's Too Foxy."
" ... ; - : i - - . :; ;: r : . '
"Tell me the gist of it now," 1
said. "Later. I'd like to take
whirl at decoding it, but that;can
wait."
"I 'think you'd enjoy It," she
said, "but here's the news. The
gifted Mr. Smith led them a long
and merry chase, through the AdU
dondacks and up jinto Canada.
He's at a hotel just now in one -of
the smaller cities, but Allen thinks
he's going to buy a country place
near by and settledown"tor
while. -At any rate, he's safe for
a few weeks, and he won't movfc
without Allen knowing . exactly
what's doing."
"Did he give any clue to the
man you're watching for the big
official of whom you spoke?" ;
"Not yet. He's altogether too
foxy to involve that man when he's
fleeing, as he supposes, for his life.
Of course he figures that he's out
witted us but he's a cagey custo
mer, and he'll take no chances for
a while. Now we can tackle the
other angle." ,
I looked my inquiry and she
answered the look promptly. .
"That man in the hospital." she
smiled. "Dr. Pettit is just waiting
the word from me to give permis
sion for his supposed employes to
remove him and I'll send the word
at once. We have agreed that
when Jerry Ticer telephones that
I would like to consult him about
having my tonsils removed, he is
to get busy immediately. I must
rout out the redoubtable Jerry.
Can you Imagine his interest In my
supposed misfortune?"
What Puzzles Lillian. '
5He may offer to doctor you
himself with some of his mother's
famous mixtures," I laughed.
a .Td as soon try them as the or
dinary medical nostrum," she re
torted, and I smiled as I remem
bered her insistence upon other
people taking remedies," as . con
trasted with her own hatred of
medication. I V
"This will mean Katherlne go
ing. When?" Tasked anxiously.
"Tomorrow, no doubt." -
"Shall we be able to see her?"
"Of course, but it's going to be
a ticklish performance to manage.
I've been trying to figure out some
way. She can't come here; we
can't go to that hospital,. ami I
don't dare rush a meeting at Dr.
Pettlt's office. You see, there
mustn't be the slightest connection
between her and us in the minds
of those devils who are posing as
Joe's employers. As Joe's nurse,
Katherlne would be perfectly safe,
but If they should suspect her
Identity I wouldn't give that lor
her life." . ;
She snapped her fingers con
temptuously., and an icy little
shiver ran down my spine. I never
can get used to that thought of
danger, which Lillian meets ia so
matter-of-fact a manner both tor
herself and her friends.
"Wouldn't it be better then."
I ventured, "for her to go without
trying to see us?" '
"Can't be done," she rejoined
quickly, "I am compelled to see
her to give her some personal di
rections.' (To be continued.)
