At any rate, the charge is as absolutely false and without foundation as were the atrocious misrepresentations of two years ago hy Dr. Clarence True Wilson, head of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Church The fact is that the Indians of Southeastern Alaska have not been deprived of food and are not suffering any serious economic distress. They are, and have been since the coming of large capital and the development of the salmon packing business, far more than in the days when they had no competition in taking game and fish in the Ter- ritory the Indians of food causing distress they have brought prosperity to the Indians. 1In the d: before the advent if the whites the Indians quently suffered from the cold and lack of balanced diet.

That is a lesson that many white people also could ponder to their advantage.

Therefore he! asks for an injunction against the Treasurer restrain-| ing him from paying any part of the $17,600, pro-! vided for the Governor’s office, and $21,700 for the expenses of the Legislature While the filing of the application for an in- junction was a surprise in itself, theé greater sur- prise lies in the fact that successive Legislatures| have voted these funds with the full cognizance of Mr. Wickersham and their actlon has not been | questioned. Therefore the entire matter appears to be one of revival of the ghost of the Comptroller Bill along with the shades of the hopes of Mr. Wickersham, | Delegate Sutherland and the Attorney General—a sort| of “Three Live Ghosts” up to date. | As the Attorney General has as much cause to be disgruntled over the action of the Legislature as have Mr. Wickersham and Mr. Sutherland, it will be interesting to watch the legal battle from the side-lines. The Attorney General will be compelled to defend the action on the part of the Territory. By the action of Mr. Wickersham, he places him- self, Delegate Sutherland and the Attorney (ieneral in the position of imposing themselves as superior to the will of the voters as expresscd through their| elected representatives. | Coming up at a time when the complalnant is chaffing under a sense of defeat for his pet measure, the action does not embody the eclement of altruism and good faith its proponent seeks to establish. However, some good may be ldoked for in the premises; it will clarify a situation that has been shrouded in the perplexities of constitutiondl inter- pretation But whatever the outcome, theé fact stands out glaringly that the sponsors of the Comptroller Bill consider, themselves superior to the toters of Alaska and better fitted to direct thelr législative action than those whom they selected s the polls. to|s {sage and the sanity of the Chiet Executive met with|yers weren't kept any busier than THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, MAY | i [] ALONG LIFE’S ] DETOUR , Ly 8AM HILL Spring Fever We're feelin’ lazy, an' All tasks we wanna shirk; Somehow Spring always makes Life seem darn full of work.

His performance at Boston was his fifth victory in that exhausting distance race in a year. Will these two never stop? Forty is a time when most athletes cease to achieve prominence.

Parks, whose message so charted the course for us.” It is taking nothing from the credit that is due the Legislators who fought continuously for sixty days, and fought well, for sane and sound policies to say that Gov.
