Their inning comes in the when the final selections are made. For the information of younger voters, be pointed out that Tuesday's election is purely a party primary election. in other words, the voter asks for either a Democratic or Republican ballot and marks his selection on the party’s ticket for the it might candidates which he desires to e represent the party at the general election. While some voters hesi- tate to declare their party preference at the primary it is just as important to select able nominees in next final selection: Tuesday's election as it is to make the next September, and the person who has a genuine interest in the affairs of government should not let a party line deter him from going to the voting place on Tuesday. In the fall election that line is cast aside and the person who doesn’t cast a ballot in the primary find that when the general election rolls around that the person or persons he had hoped to vote for are not even on the ballot Selections Tuesday cent the Territorial Legislature. The only contests are for nomination for the House, and in this Judicial Division, the Demo- cratic nomination for the Senate. For the Territorial offices, Delegate Dimond is unopposed for the Demo- cratic nomination for Delegate and Al White is un- opposed cn the Republican ticket. A similar situation exists for Territorial Treasurer. The Democratic in- cumbent, Oscar Olson, has no opposition nor has Will H. Chase for the Republican nomination. Thus it ¥ legislative nominations which concern the party voters next Tuesday. Those calling for a Democratic ballot will find a contest between Senator Henry Roden and Crystal Snow Jenne, both residents of Juneau, for the Senat nomination. One is to be nominated. For the Hous: they will find nine candidates seeking nomination for the House, four of which are to be chosen to carry the banner in the campaign until September. They are J. P. Anderson, James V, Davis, John McCormick and Henry Messerschmidt of Juneau; Fred G. Hanford, Wrangell; Joseph F. Krause and George S. Talbot of Ketchikan, George H. Peterson of Douglas and Arthur P. Walker of Craig. On the Republican ticket, there is no contest for the Senate nomination, as Howard D. Stabler of Juneau is unopposed, but for the House nominations there are seven candidates from which four are to be chosen. They are: Cash Cole, Frank H. Foster, Mildred R. Hermann, Royal' M. Shepard and Ja Wilson, ali of Juneau; Frank S. Barnes of Wrangell and Frank D. Price of Sitka. If you are interested in the Territory of Alaska and want to see it go forward be a Democrat or a Republican next Tuesday, as you see fit, but be some- thing. If you are 21 or over, can read and write, and have been a resident of Alaska for one year im- mediately preceeding the eclection you are entitled to cast a ballot. may in HOW ABOU A LITTLE There is considerable evidence around the town that Juneau is going to enter the annual Cleanun campaign, which opens Monday, with enthusiasm and PA Capital Ladies in Pre-Easter Show THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, a determination to put on a new dress Tor the spring and summer season.

McCay, L. A. Maynard and G American Institution of When Drs. C Sperling of Cornell told the rition recently that by reducing ‘the number of s and strictly controlling the diet: they had managed to keep rats alive to the equivalent of 107 years in a human being, they were but substantiating a belief long cherished by many biologists that we age most rapidly in youth. Apart from the fact that physiologica d chemical action are not necessarily the same in rats and men and that we may not t fore conclude that we humans may become center arians I arving ourselves in carly life, we wond! what a There is more that the biologists entury means in these experiments than one kind of age.

How old are the frogs’ eggs? How | are old is the man of 70 who says that he Teels young? | " is clearly a loose term. Suppose we brush aside these philosophical nice- ties and determine to achieve a century by eating just enough to keep body and soul together in the day of our ir ey anc outh. Would the world look quite the same? Would life be worth living? There are children enough on a bare subsistence level who could e the A price must be paid for the caloric sacrifice that had to be made by those experi- mental rats that attained so striking ar Perhaps it was too high. Yet this pessimism does not mean that science should discontinue its investigation of physiologic processes in an effort to find out, if it can, what the process of living and dying entails, physically, chemi- | cally, psychically. Freud once wrote that “at bottom no one believes in his own death, which amounts ¢ saying that, in the unconscious, every one of us is convinced of his immortality.” Here we have the rea- son for the experiments with rats, frogs’ eggs, Mexican alamanders. To prolong life far beyond the attain- ble span is a legitimate end. But old age must hold | out something more than a watery eye, a leathery, wrinkled skin, a loss of interest in the affairs of the world. We must become like the butterfly, which, according to Anatole France, presents an example to man by dying at the height of its beauty and its jo; in life. answer A New Emergency—and the Old R(m\c\ell (Philadelphia Record) \ The most exciting news out of Washington is the good word that President Roosevelt plans to set up & | new $1,500,000,000 public works fund to buck the re- cession. Even conservatives who moan about the public debt will probably find that their pulses have im- proved and that their cash registers are an expectant look because of this announcement. We hope the new emergency is bringing back the old Roosevelt, the President who damned the Jere- miahs and brought us out of depression by increasing our national purchasing power. That cost money. But depressions—or recessions— | cost more, in profits lost, tax revenues evaporated, | shrunken national income.
