The Alaska Indian laughs in at the representations made by politicians and, parently, some missionaries that the Indians are not as well sitnated economically as they were before the invasion of capital. The Indians have no desire to exchange their present mode of living for the opportunity to live on smoked salmon, seasoned with eulachon oil to wear skin clothing in the an- cient community houses, and to die young from diseases caused by unbalanced rations, exposure and lack of sanitation.

These run: 1 believe in the worship of God accord- ing to the faith and practice of the Roman Catholic Church. 1 recognize no power in | the institutions of my Church to interfere with the operations of the Constitution of the United States or the enforcement of the law of the land. 1 believe in the principle of non-inter- terence by this country in the internal affairs of other nations and that we should stand steadfastly against any such interfer- ence by whomsover it may be urged. Mr. Marshall is unwise, we believe, in filing im- mediately the answer to Governor Smith which we print elsewhere in the Post today. So quick a ‘“‘come- back” tends, first, to bring the debate down from the high plane on which it was started. Secondly, it re- plies without giving time for the absorption of the reality of Governor Smith’s splendid statement. It shows too great a haste for controversy rather than a desire for real understanding. Nor does’ Mr. Marshall, in to the terms of his own questioning. He says that Governor Smith shifts the basis of discussion to faith instead of church polity. It seems to us that the Governor, in the purely ecclesiastical portions of his letter, deals thoroughly with doctrine and certainly with polity in so far as the latter issue was raised by Mr. Marshall. It is Mr. Marshall, not the Governor, who is seeking to shift the ground. And Governor Smith might well answer him, as he did before, by saying that neither encyclical nor syllabus is an article of faith. After all, Mr. Marshall's first letter and the whole question at issue have not to do with changing the policies or methods of the Catholic Chureh. They concern this definite and repeated personal question in the original Atlantic Monthly article: How would you, Governor Smith, reconcile “certain conceptions which your fellow citizens attribute to you as a gave his seat in the street car to & lady it was a sign he was gatlant: house poot hean It Only Requires More or Less True Knee-breeches and silk stockings for, men are predicted, but there'll " NOTICE GF AYPLCIATION FOR PATENT Serial No, 06350 |In the United States Land Office for | the Juneau Land District at An- chorage, Alaska. the Matter of the Application of J.
