Not commercialized racket; nobody’s pet scheme, just the good old game of baseball as it is played under the northern lights. It is a community enterprise that should have the whole-hearted support of the entire community Not confined to Juneau alone, as it was last season, the league this year has expanded to include a team from the neighboring city of Douglas. The City League is a thing of the past; it is the Gastin- eau Channel League now. City rivalry new players will be seen in action; altogether it looks like the start of an excellent season. Let’s all get out tomorrow and get the boys away to a flying start Tomorrow the the curtain is big rings day afternoon is injected THE KEYNOTER Perhaps figuring it is one of the few things they can get together on, the Republicans the length and breadth of the land are making quite a noise about their keynoter. Reading some of the fine eulogies that are bursting out from Republican pens here and there about the country, one gets the im- pression that the naming of the keynover by Mr. Hoover and his boys is tantamount to election of a President. Just what is so marvelous about a keynoter, cept a good pair of lungs, probably will always re- main a mystery to most of us. But that awful poli- tical suspense leading up to the announcement of the keynoter is now over so we might as well find out a little more about it The gentleman the Republican leaders have se- lected is Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon. It might be mentioned at this point that Senator Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky going to keynote the Democratic convention just as he did in 1932, and good old Joe Robinson from down Arkansas way is going to have his hand on the throttle as permanent chairman, but that is incidental. Barkley and Rob- inson have a nominee, and a right good one at that; their platform is a four-year record and so they ex- is Editor and mnagerl The from |of shouting so loud that all the five or six factions {in the Republican ranks can hear lung power in high and appeal in such a spell-binding e, $6.00; | his job is not through. | posed to be so appealing, so impassioned, so bitter 'Af,(mm the New Deal that voters reading next day lo the use for |5 polling booth so they can cast a vote for the Re- he. g;mbumn party. | he casts on the voters must last until next fall |a large assignment. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE SATURDAY, MAY 9, don’t have a (hmg to worry about. But with Senator Steiwer it's entirely different. friendly and likable gentleman the almost unsurmountable task pleasant, Oregon has him. When he gets their attention, he is supposed to throw the old manner that the hint he drops about who the nom- inee should be will not fall on deaf ears. Even then His flow of oratory is sup- {in the newspapers will jump right up from the table, | grab their hats and fun out in the street looking for And another stickler is that spell Even for an orator of Mr. Steiwer's capabilities, it is quite But let’s find out a little more about this G.O.P. spellbinder. Remarkable as it may seem, Mr. Steiwer is a conservative though he comes from Oregon, long a proving ground for reforms of one kind and an- other. He is reported conservative enough for the rock-ribbed East, although he voted for the Wagner Labor act, TVA, AAA and other New Deal legisla- tion. In face of that he is a loud trumpeter against the New Deal on various scores; insists on economy and the balanced budget, and his heart bleeds for the Constitution, which is an excellent point since the Republicans have set themselves up as special guardians of that document. He supported the soldiers’ bonus, but declares the Roosevelt Adminis- | tration to be wasteful. Altogether, the Oregon Sena- tor seems to be quite an astute politician along with being a fine gentleman. But while the keynoter apparently is considered by the G.O.P. high command liberal enough to cap- of the progressives, the Old bets, so along with the key- | noter, who acts as temporary chairman, they pro- ceeded to name as permanent chairman, that ven- erable Congressman, Bertrand H. Snell of New York, minority leader in the House who has served in that body continuously since 1915. Mr, Snell, unlike Mr. Steiwer, is a regular, holding that the voice of the party is the voice of God. George Creel, brilliant political writer, reports that any hint of independence lon the part of a Republican affects Mr. Snell as in- stantly and vitally as though vandal hands had been laid on the Ark of the Covenant. From this one can see that Mr. Snell is what the Old Guard! a safe Republican. let Mr. Steiwer, the more liberal- shouting in the hope of getting a luke-warm vote here and there, but it will be the ture support wasn't overlooking any readily would term They might minded, do the guiding hand of the gentleman from New York that will be at the ‘controls in Cleveland. And it might | be added that if anything progressive gets by Mr.| Snell, for anything except oratorical purposes, m will have to be at Philadelphia, which, we forgot to | the Democratic convention will | mention, is where be held Selassie’s on his way to Jerusalem. To the wail- ing wall, we suppose. Boosting about the Republican vote gain in the primary sounds a lot like the fellow who held next to the winning ticket in the ice pool. It Isn’t Spinach (New York World Telegram) Among those who say it's spinach don’t include | Dr. William I. McGonigle, of Freehold, N.J. That learned doctor of dental surgery has jusv. reported to the New Jersey Dental Society that “green vegetables do not necessarily mean spinach. Escarole, | kale and parsley have shown greater Vitamin A values | than spinach.” And others are just as food. If one is passionately foud of spinach, to be sure, that will mean nothing, for the healthfulness of spinach remains unquestioned. But we suspect the majority of mankind will re- gard Dr. McGonigle as a great emancipator. We hadn’t realized it before, but there are substitutes for spinach. | ow we can take it or we can leave it alone.

A coroner's jury, after investi- gating the details of the shooting tragedy at William Henry Bay where Peter Lorenzen was shot to dealh by an unknown assassin who was then killed by Henry Lorenzen al- legedly acting in self defense, de- livered the following verdict: “That Peter Lorenzen met death from a rifle shot wound inflicted by a par- ty whose identity is not fully estab- lished, and that the unidentified man in turn met death from a rifle shot wound inflicted by Harry Lo- renzen who acted in self-defense.” C.
