SMITH i * ■. - During the jockeying and maneuvering for the Demo cratic nomination for President fl number of opportun ities were offered for the display of statesmanship and Ihose high qualities which stamp a man and reveal to his fellows the values of his inner self. ’ -' —'**• In this respect nearly every man in the field of en trants gave some evidence of a patriotic purpose and loyalty to his party regardless of what it may offer him in position and honors. t ^ . The exception in this lineup was Mr. Alfred Smith, heralded messiah of democracy, 100 per cent stateman and patriotic. He was unequal to subordinate personal ambitions for altruistic loyalty to the emblem of his party. iLike Paris sulking in his tent he was content to allow others to carry the burden of selecting a man who was satisfactory to the party and who might carry the con fidence and votes of the masses. That Franklin D. Roosevelt was not susceptible to swallowing Tammany along with its sachem is shown in Mr. Smith’s disinclination to step forth boldly and pledge his support when a fair test had shown that his party did not wish him as standard-bearer, but would welcome his support and influence in marching to success. From the inception of Mr. Smith’s candidacy for the Presidency, the Hearst papers, many others and popular magazine have branded him as a ward politician not pos sessed of the qualities fitting him for President. His action in refusing to step into the procession he could not lead seems to confirm this guage of his fitness. Chas. E- Taylor of Fairbanks has been appointed U. S.

Home office at Anchorage, Alaska THE PAHISLE OF SCORES (By a Bleacher fan) How Sewardites got their’s Mon day afternoon and how the Dis- j covereriies won; being a detailed description of the game in which the visitors larruped the local team all over the lot. * * * * And it came to pass that on the Fourth day the disciples of Bush Paul and Horse Shoe Tambourine were arrayed in fine uniforms and were full of ginger, yea, even full of much steam and pepper. For they were about to slay the enemy. Even the hated followers of Tam bourine, and behold there was a, goodly bunch in the grand stand. Yea, and many shekels were wag-! ered that there would be nothing to it Ah lo, it was very well; and the multitude looked and saw Bush was on the mound; and they said, “Lo, this will be duck soup. Even unto the seventh inning.” And it came to pass that Tam bourine was to pitch for the Dis coveries for a time and that he J was to be replaced by Ole Ulm of i the Swedish accent, later. A Discovererite came to bat and smote the ball upon the nose for a bingle, and another Discovererite came to bat, and fanned, even missed it a mile; and behold, the Sewardites next pulled off a double play—two at a shot—an the side was out, and there was much joy. And it was fine business. And be hold, the locals made no runs and neither did the Discovererites. And it looked good. And it came to pass that Bush came to bat, he was there with the goods, yea, verily, with a two-bagger, and he stole third, and the populace sat up and took notice. Yea, and said “good eye Bush ” And it was very good. And he died at the plate, j And it was tough luck and in the next inning after the Discovererites were better with the stick and bunched their hits better to bring in more runs than the locals. And the enemy made some more runs. And it came to pass that Bush jumped on his glove and kicked all of the boulders off the diamond and he was very sore. And behold he took heart. Yea, even had hopes of getting back his shekels and their pieces of silver and he said there will be no more bingles and no more runs. 'And it was a pipe. It came to pass the Discovererites smote the: sphere even some good hard raps and the Sewardites did not. And behold Larry was a dead one with the bat, and likewise Fred was rot ten, and Don was fierce and sure shot Bush was the limit, and even Niel was a frizzle, and Ray was a frost, and there were other. And it was very sad. And behold Ole Ulm gave them the laugh, even a big broad smile, and the localites made many swings, and few hits. And behold Fred got a hit, and Neil an Ray—but they died on bases an there were no runs. And behold again, as the game proceeded the bases 'were filled and nobody out, and the people sat up. Look who’s here. There will be a Garrison fin ish and many scores, even a whole flock. And they thought again of their shekels and their pieces of' silver. And the next, batter was a fizzle, and the next a mistake, and the last a lemmon, and the side was out with the bases full and there were no runs. And it was more luck and it was even so until the end of the seventh inning when the stuff was off. And the Discovererites had a goodly wad of runs, even a total of 11, and the Sewardites had seven. And it was fine dope for the Discovererites. As the game was seen from the bleach ers. Ketchikan theater prices have been raised to 55 cents because of the alleged budget balancing tax. NOTICE Dr. J.
