The
Natives
Are
Right
SYMPATHIZE
very
much
with
our
Indian
WH
iriends
who
have
resorted
to
an
ingenious
and
novel
means
of
emphasizing
their
claims
for
the
franchise.
Certainly
if
the
Chinese
and
the
East
Indians
are
to
be
given
the
franchise,
we
would
think
it
to
be
the
fair
and
just
thing
that
the
natives
should
also
have
the
privilege.
As
a
matter
of
t'aet,
it
seems
to
us
that
our
native
Indians
here
Irate
a
good
ctel
more
right
to
it
notwithstanding
sorrw?
of
the
antiquated
and
outdated
provisions
of
;
Intffnr.
Act
and
it?
patronizing
guardianship.

'he
natives
have
cs
much

as
any
of
us
'
hether
or
not

l;c
in
the
reserves
which
we
so
generously
pave
them
after
we
came
over
here
and
took
over
the
lands,
the
prior
possession
of
which
they
were
unable
td
sustain
against
our
aggression
we
think
of
other
privileges
and
rights
that
we
enjoy
while
trying
to
keep
the
natives
in
a
state
of
inferior
subjection
which
not
only
contributes
to
their
continued
discontent
but
tends
to
their
deterioration.
We-are
believers
in
the
theory
that,
if
we
saw
to
it
that
the
Indians
received
the
rights
and
privileges
to
which
they
have
every
just
claim,
they
would
be
good
and
responsible
citizens,
equal
to
the
best.
Yes
we
believe
the
Indians
have
a
good
case
and
something
should
be
done
about
improving
their
lot.
We
are
sure
they
would
live
up
to
their
responsibilities.
!
A
good
thing
to
remember
is
that
there
is
always
going
to
be
a
tomorrow
as
well
as
a
today
and

2fc
Rupert-Alaska
Service
Canadian
Citizenship
T
HE
FIRST
HEAVY
BLOW
at
the
cost
of
living
in
Alaska
is
to
be
struck,
it
appears.
within
60
days
when
Phillip
G.
Briggs
of
Juneau,
formerly
of
New
York,
puts
his
as
yet
unnamed
motorship
onto
a
new
run
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Southeastern
Alaska
ports,
says
Ketchikan
Chronicle.
In
a
period
when
most
costs
are
going
up
and
the
American
carriers
serving
this
run
plan
to
seek
higher
tariffs,
this
news
Is
good.
Business
men
of
Southeastern
Alaska
must
remember
that,
when
the
recurrent
strikes
occurred
last
year
and
they
were
sadly
In
need
of
goods
to
keep
their
operations
going,
they
were
praying
for
something
like
Briggs'
service.
They
wouldn't
have
cared
too
much
about
the
cost;
In
fact
they
shipped
so
much
stuff
through
Prince
Rupert
on
small
boats
that
this
nearby
and
friendly
Canadian
port
eventually
became
known
as'
the
alternate
,
lifeline
for
Alaska.
It
Is
only
'
natural
then
that
this
new
lifeline
should
be
strengthened
for
not
only
will
there
be
more
tieups
in
the
Seattle-Alaska
commerce,
but
Mr.
Briggs
can
offer
more
attractive
rates
at
once.
When
the
coastal
carriers
get
their
rate
increase,
which
seems
inevitable,
he
can
make
even
a
greater
inducement
to
businesses.
It
may
be
expected
that
opponents
of
this
new1
service
will
seek
to
combat
it
by
one
way
or
another.
We
hope
Alaskans
remember,
however,
that
the
Seattle
carriers
were-not
very
good
stormy
weather
friends
and
have
generally
proceeded
along
the
line
that
Alaska
should
support
them
in
the
style
to
which
they
are
accustomed,
or
not
be
favored
with
their
services.
Since
we
decline
to
support
them
in
this
fashion
and
to
keep
on
paying
higher
and
higher
rates,
we
should
concentrate
all
our
ef
forts
on
helping
Mr.
Briggs.
He
has
most
of
his
personal
assets
sunk
into
this
venture
and
his
service
can
pull
himself
and
part
of
Alaska
through
to
good
times
together.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
turn
of
events
made
such
A
service
as
Briggs
offers
inevitable,
for
Alaska
had
to
turn
somewhere
and
it
was
hoping
Prince
Rupert
would
be
the
answer.
Through
rail
connections
Into
Prince
Rupert
from
Vancouver
and
Seattle,
cargoes
originating
in
the
western
states
could
still
be
handled
via
Prince
Rupert,
though
the
saving
might
not
be
so
great.
The
great
value
of
the
service
will
be
in
saving
of
freight
Into
Alaska
and
In
lower
handling
charges.
Merchants;
will
need
to
arrange
with
car-loading
services
In
the
eastern
Jobbing
centres
to
pool
their
cargoes
into
west-bound
cars.
CANADIAN
Is
now
a
citizen
A
of
his
own
country.
An
approprite
Ottawa
ceremony,
marred
only
by
the
'omission
of
a
Canadian
Indian,
fittingly
marked
the
establishment
of
Canadian
citizenship
by
act
of
parliament.
Canadians
who
hitherto
had
not
been
conscious
of
any
loss
because
of
lack
of
clear-cut
citizenship,
marked
with
pride
and
appreciation
their
acquisition
of
a
new
status
among
men.
A
sense
of
Increased
responsibility
and
enhanced
opportunity
came
to
the
people.
A
Canadian
counts
for
more;
more
will
be
expected
of
him.
The
Prime
Minister,
Rt.
Hon.
William
Lyon
Mackenzie
King,
who
graces
such
an
occasion
with
fitting
words.,
said:
"There
are
older
countries,
there
are
larger
countries,
but
no
country
holds
today
a
higher
place
In
the
esteem
of
other
nations.
Our
unity
and
our
strength-will
be
increased."

LETTERBOX
ANSWERING
MR.
PARKS
Editor,
Daily
Kews:
Answering
John
Parks
letter,
74
years
ago
we
made
our
long
est
treaty
in
history
but
it
only
seems
like
yesterday
when
this
momentous
Incident
took
place
How
warm
was
our
handclasp
then?
And
how
sincere
our
promises
were,
when
we
shook
hands
solemnly
we
uttered
the
words
of
our
great
Indian
oath:
"As
long
as
the
sun
shines,
the
grass
grows
and
the
water
flows,
I
will
keep
all
my
promises."
The
Great
Spirit
In
Heaven
listened
to
those
solemn
words.
Yes,
my
.White
Brother,
the
sun
is
still
doing
his
duty
shining
up
In
the
skies,
making
the
grass
grow
and
the
water
flow.
All
this
is
no,
news
to
you,
,
Mr.
Parks.
But
the
average
man
j
on
the
street
knows
nothing
of
'
the
actual
conditions
that
exist
among
us.
You
leck
upon
me
as
a
parasite
who
depends
entirely
on
the
public
pocket
bock
in
order
to
live.
You
also
take
us
,
as
a
race
of
people
unable
to
I
undertake
our
dally
household
1
duties.
You,
my
brother,
have
proven
to
be
very
industrious
and
wise.
You
have
certainly
made
use
of
this
land
we
loaned
you.
You
have
ehown
wonderful
miracles
in
science
and
industry.
Many
millions
of
your
children
have
been
born
here
to
grow
up
Into
strong
and
Intelligent
people,
many
of
whom
have
acquired
.great
skill
in
the
gathering
of
money
and
property
with
their
brains.
.1
disagree
with
segregation
for
this
reason,
"when
an
Indian
has
been
given
the
opportunity,
they
will
acquire
equal
standing
and
even
higher."
Take
E.
Pauline
Johnson
for
instance,
when
given
the
opportunity,
she
became
one
of
Canada's
most
outstanding
poets.
Miss
Francis
Iikawa,
an
elocutionist,
who
was
called
to
England
to
recite
for
King
George
V.
and
Chief
Sittingstone,
a
man
living
today
whose
work
was
recommended
by
the
members
of
the
Parliament
and
these
great
athletes
isuch
as
Tom
Longboat,
marathon
runner
of
all
time,
Jim
iThorpe,
an
all-round
athlete,
and
Jack
Dempsey,
a
former
heavyweight
boxing
champion,
whose
mother
was
an
Indian.
Take
these
heavyweights
of
today
such
as
Chief
Littlewolf
and
Chief
Thunderbird.
The
Boy
Scouts
in
Coqualeetza-
-Steven
Morrison
from
Port
Simpson,
his
patrol
became
first
in
Canada
and
another
Indian,
Solomon
Gray
who
went
to
England.
He
.was
the
only
one
of
Boy
Scouts
of
all
races
and
creeds
to
be
the
best.
He
was
awarded
the
gold
imedal
by
Prime
Minister
Bennett
of
Canada
for
remembering
.the
words
of
the
King.
But.
why
ore
you
going

cn
us
while
we
are

So
let

the

to

Both
local
and
provincial
situations
were
considered
at
the
monthly
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rnprrt
Employment
Advisory
Committee
last
Friday.
It
was
stated
that
tne
resumption
of
the
demolition
of
surplus
ouildfngs,
both
locally
and
at
Terrace,
woutd
take
place
very
soon.
Crews
were
already
being
recruited.
A
former
discrepancy
In
wages
bein
paid
had
been
rectified.
It
was
also
reported
that
the
Prince
Rupert
Labor
Council
had
-failed
to
name
a
representative
on
the
committee
in
spite
of
repeated
requests.
It
was,
therefore,
decided
to
carry
on
without
such
a
representative.
Items
discussed
Included
the
application
of
the
Holiday
Act
to
Industry,
the
wages
paid
by
the
Corps
of
Commissioners,
the
low
rates
offered
to
women
In
some
Industries
and
the
change
In
Income
tax
regulations
as
applied
to
married
women.
Objection
was
taken
to
an
article
in
the
series
in
the
local
press
on
Prince
Rupert
by
the
Canadian
Pacific
Airways.
One
statement
was
that
the
cost
of
building
ships
in
Prince
Rupert
during
trie
war
was
higher
than
In
other
centres
owing
to
higher
cost
o'f
labor.
This
statement
cannot
be
justified
and
representations
refuting
it
will
be
forwarded
to
'the
authors
of
the
article.
A
review
of
the

Indicated
that,
