Baseball the air. Here and there ball on bat add to the that great national pastime, permeates can be heard the crack of These golden days of spring sunshine general picture. It's baseball weather in earnest and lovers of the sport, and who isn't, are eagerly anticipating the opening of the City Baseball League season Already league activities are underway and early reports foretell one of the best seasons in years. Pub- lic-spirited men and players with the interests of the community at heart and the love of baseball in their souls have started the ball rolling. Now it is up to the entire community to get back of them and help in making their efforts successful League officials get no material gain from their work in behalf of baseball for this city. The players share only in the Fourth of July game proceeds. Base- tall is nobody’s racket in Juneau. It is a strictly com- munity affair, representative of every business and in- dustry in the community. In the ranks of the players and officials found some one connected with virtually every business house in the city. They are a true cross section of the entire community. They may play for this team or that, but the fact remains that primarily they represent us all. If the name of the firm with which he is connected was pinned oi the shirt of each player field, it would be found that hardly an enterprise in this com- munity is not represented. Can there be better evi- dence that baseball here is entire Gastineau: Chapmel area? As a representative community affair it deserves the solid support of those in the community. The simplest way to lend that support-is to buy a season ticket now so the boys will have a little something to get the League started in shipshape style, and then go out and see as many games as you wish without further cost Juneau has a reputation for being a good baseball town. Let's keep it that way by giving our support to those men who, through love of the game, are giving whole-heartedly of their efforts to make it a success and furnish the community clean amusement. can be when he takes the strictly an affair of the HENRY C'MALLEY A fine man is lost to the world mn the sudden death of Henry O'Malley, former Fisheries Commis- sioner. Throughout his lifetime, mr. U mulley made hosts of friends in every walk of life. Included in this wide circle of intimate friends were such men as Herbert Hoover, and David Starr Jordan. It was while Mr. Hoover was Secretary of Commerce, in the Coolidge Administration that Mr. O'Malley was appointed U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries. While Commissioner, Mr. O'Malley inaugurated the present system of fisheries regulations. Years ago Mr. O'Malley was the youngest of a croup of scientists who studied under and with David Starr Jordan, internationally known scientist and edu- cator, who was the founder of the science of Applied ichthyology, and probably the most famous fisheries specialist in the world. Henry O'Malley knew his business, and loved it as a life’s work. He commenced the first real fight for fish conservation in the Territory. | Throughout his wide acquaintanceship Mr. O'Mal- ley was respected for his ability, and admired and loved by his friends for his many human virtues and keen sense of humor. Alaskans mourn a good friend in the passing of Henry O’Malley. Some of the boys don't have to wait for the Ma- | jor Bowes hour. They'll get the gong next Tuesday. | One must say for these congressional commit- | tees that they know how to pick pleasant places to | make investigations during the summer months. Forming Party Opinion (New York Times) In the several States the laws provide varied ma- chiney for testing and expressing the sentiment of political parties. Most of it lies readiest to the hands of members of the regular organizations. They know how to operate the appartus. - Party primaries, and even “Presidential preference” primaries are to them little more than added cards with which to play the old political game. In any contest they start out| with an initial advantage. This is not so wrong and unfair as some \\oul(ll make it out to be. If we are to have government by political partied in this country, it is fitting that lead- | ers in the various States and subdivisions thereof should ; I be facilitated in discovering and directing party opin- | jon. This was fully explained by Mr. Hughes when he was Governor of New York and was urging a law for | | party primaries in this State. He frankly admitted that, | the established party authoriti ‘would find it easy to confirm and strengthen their control through primary elections. At the same time, | as Governor Hughes pointed out, means were provided |in the law by which a revolt within the party, if strong enough, could overthrow the old leadership and set up a new one. Such a revolution within the party means hard work and takes time and money to be success- ful. A partial revolt of that kind was attempted wllh»l i in the Republican party last Thursday, but failed com- pletely to make use of the Primary Law to out vote the leaders. A good deal of this political machinery is combrmls_’ sometimes appears utterly needless, and has unques- | tionably disappointed the hopes of the reformers who the troubles to which President Roosevelt has been put got it authorized by statute. Consider, for example, by the party primary laws. His renomination is con- ceded by everybody to be absolutely certain, and ought not to require of him that he lift a finger. Yet he has been compelled to make application in several States for the recording of his candidacy on the official bal- lot, with a full list of his petitioners, designated dele- gates, etc. There are Republican States and districts in which the superfluity of the Primary Laws is equally apparent. Mere routine steps, they have to be taken nevertheles:, Primaries have mainly to do with nominations for ! office. In that respect this year’s Presidential com- paign presents to the Republican party a situation | — 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire APRIL 25, 1916. Judge Jennings overruled the ob- Jection of the defense attorneys in {the case of Edward Krause, charged with the kidnaping of William Christie of Douglas, to prevent the introduction of evidence contained in a deposition regarding the hand- writing of Krause. ruling, Judge Jennings said the gov- ernment was trying to prove that Krause signed the name of Christie to the note found on the doorsteps of his home the morning after he disappeared. It is expected the government will complete its case tomorrow, then the defense will be- gin but it is not known whether any evidence will be introduced William E. Britt was preparing to erect a residence on the hill on Seventh Avenue Treadwell officials announced that a baseball team would be ready for | the opening of the season. The Shoe Department of the B. M. Behrends store had been greatly )enlarged and extended. Windows had been placed in the balcony on | the Third Avenue side and the de- partment separated mens’ women, and children.

Who wrote The Star-Spangled Banner, and where is he buried? which is rather novel for it. For many years in suc- cession the Republican nomination for the Presidency, was as good as an election. That made party fights in the national convention prolonged and bitter, as was the case in 1920, or of doubtful result up to the very | last minute, as happened in 1! But in 1936 the par leaders are not so keen in working for a given nomins They are thinking much more of the election to They are quite aware that a certain kind of nomination, on a certain kind of platform, would be | worth no one’ seeking or having. The consequence is that the primary contests this year are apt to be | rather spiritless, with all the emphasis of the campaign thrown forward to June, when it, will be necessary to nominate some candidate whom the party believes to have a chance of being elected. Meanwhile, political students may devote them- selves to the observation of party opinion in the pro- | cess of formation. It should prove for many a mscm-‘ ating study in mass mentality. No one can now say | | that the Republican party as a whole has a fixed choice for Presidential candidate. How does the con- viction spread from one man to another, from one State to another, that the party needs and hopes nmy best be met by a given man? The answer is not to be| found in routine propaganda. It is not given by party managers or speakers or by the thick and thin Re- publican newspapers. They contribute something to the | final creation of party opinion, but it remains a deeper | thing, a part of the subconscious mind, an element 01} public psychology. It sometimes appears to resemble | telepathy, as if judgments arrived at by individuals. | in one State were mysteriously communicated without any visible means to important party personages in an- other. The certain thing at present is that the senti- ment of Republican voters in this country is still with- out form, and void. To watch it taking shape during ! the next two months will be an engaging occupation for political observers. 1 PR o) R e | Dissension among Townsend plan advocates sug- | gests that the serpent has found a knothole through which to wriggle into Utopia.—(Philadelphia Bulle- tin.) tion follow The head of the Bank of Ttaly praises Mussolini’s | Jatest actions, knowing fully what would happen tc | him if he didn't.—(Indianapolis Star.)
