Divisional Notes
SITKA
We do not know how you ar
rive at the conclusion that the
Sitka A. N. B. team was defeated
ny the Douglas A. N. B. team.
Our team has not left town this
season to play any team. They
met and defeated the S. J. S.
(locals) two games to each with
ihe final game in the offing.
However, there are some Sitka
boys fooling around Juneau and
it is probable that they have or
ganized a team, but they are by
no means “A. N. B., either. The
regular team here was certainly 1
surprised to see that they had
been defeated in Douglas at a
time when they were right here,
•n fairness to our boys, please
mke correction. (Ed. note: We
herewith correct and advise that
,f our esteemed contemporary
supplies any further misinform
ation we will just have to quit
leading his old scandal sheet.
A new brother was initiated in
' he local Camp last Monday. The
memb ership is growing stead
ily, if somewhat slowly.
The Sisterhood gave a dance
on the 12th and it was a big one
as all of the people had returned
from out of town.
The local Presbyterian Church
is making active preparations
for the C. E. convention to be
held in Ketchikan soon. It has
not been decided yet whether
: he crowd will go on the steamer
or on a chartered gasboat.
William Walton, John Law
rence and Mrs. John Newell are
on the petit jury list for the
next term of court to be held at

150 feet wide and 22 feet deep at
mean low tide, at an estimated
cost of $67,500.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schrey and

The Douglas Brotherhood has
been hard put since the fire de
stroyed their home several years
ago. A lodge without a home is
unable to function. However, the
fighting spirit remains and the
platform of the Grand Camp is
impressed upon the brothers
and they will not say die.

JUNEAU
-x
Mrs. Peter Dick died in the
Government Hospital following
a long illness. She is survived by
her husband, Peter and five
children, a sister Mrs. O. J. Boyd
and a cousin, Mrs. Sam D. Scott.
Plans were made to take the
remains to Angoon for burial.
The Wrangell Barge Ruby in
tow of the Betty brought a fine
consignment of halibut boxes for
the Juneau Col dStorage Co.
Dan Katzeek who was brought
here from Klukwan seriously ill
recently, returned to his home
on the last trip of the Queen.
Charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon on his wife,
Walter E. Ross, Tebinkoff fox
rancher was bound over to the
grand jury after a preliminary
examination before Commis
sioner’s Court. He was unable to
raise bail bond in the sum of
S2.000. ....
At the hearing his 13-year-old
daughter stated that Ross seized
his wife by her hair, pulled her
head back, menacing her with
an open pocket knife. The girl
kicked one of his legs throwing
him off balance and giving the
wife a chance to escape. The
girl pulled down the telephone
and yelled for help. When it
arrived, Ross w^s in bed. He
denied the assault charge but
admitted having had an argu
ment with the wife.
Halibut prices are anything
but satisfactory. Some ran with
their fares and some stuck near
the cold storage in the hopes
prices would raise. Prices offered
were 8:35 and 6 to 8 and 5V2.
EFFICIENT LEGISLATORS
An instance of how the Legis
lative members of the First Di
vision look after the interests of
their constituents, might be
cited in the bill introduced by
Representative Winn to appro
priate $7,500 for the jprotection
of the town of Hyder from the
encroachments of the Salmon
River. This bill was introduced
on March 18, went to committee,
was favorably reported and on
March 28 Mr. Winn secured its
passage in the House. In the
I Senate it was looked after by
Senator Steel, was approved by
committee and passed the Sen
ate on April .9, and approved by
i the Governor on April 16.
GARDNER AS A PROSPECT
-x~
C. T. Gardner seems quite anx
xious to become a Senator from
the First Division. He tried to
break in on the Republican pri
mary two years ago, against
Charles Benjamin. But he sig
nally failed. And then instead
of being a good sport and sup
porting the Republican ticket
at the November election he
turned in and fought the ticket
that he sought to get on, and af
ter declaring in his filing that
he would support a majority of
the nominated.
Men of that type can scarcely
be relied upon, as their opinions
on public questions are usually
subject to pressure. Opposed to
such a man as Senator Steel,
who has positive convictions and
who has been one of the most
effective and valuable legislat
ors the Territory has ever had,
the candidacy of Mr. Gardner
should mean very little to the
voters of the First Division.
The present Senator has proven
himself, the prospective Senator
has been tried, in a measure and
found wanting. Why make a
change?

BEWARE OF WH1SFEK1N G
l IMrAKi!* fcKb
From Ketchikan Chronicle
Sixty days of politics are be
fore us. It will be a time of
strife and trouble, propaganda
and lies.
First will come the municipal
campaign, a month hence, and
then the territorial primaries
nearly two months in the offing.
In each of these elections there
I will be matters of vital import
ance to the people. Therefore
it behooves them that they
should not be deceived in either
of the several contests by the
blathering of would-be leaders,
organizations or candidates.
Times have been when voters
failed to recognize and distin- [
guish falsity from truth, and so
t will be in the future. In gen- ;
eral however, the public has not
be in the years to come. • j
We must not commit ourselves *
verbally or mentally until we
know all the candidates, all
they stand for, and the ultimate
public good.
We should and will listen well
to all candidates, consider all
measures proposed but not make
jp our minds until we know all
those sandidates who seek elec
tion ond all the facts regarding
heir aims, ambitions and pos
sibilities.
We must beware of the whim
pering campaign. That is the
most deadly of all, so far as good
government is concerned.”
The political acrobatic antics
of some politicians reaches the
height of the ridiculous. They
ay forth political doctrines and
preachments that mean to
themselves just so much blaw. 1
While urging the electorate to
be mentally and verbally non
committant, they pussyfoot in
oolitical fields buttonholing and
pussyfooting around candidates
trying to dicker and make alli
ances in order that a certain
political order or disorder in the
Territory shall continue.
xiie uaaio ui tiicii punuiccii ciu
tion rests solely and entirely up
on what they may secure for
their personal selfish gain and
has no bearing on the general
good of the people of the Terri
tory as a whole.
For those who are so governed, i
"We must not commit our
selves veroaiiy or mentally until,
we Know all tne candidates, an j
they stand for, and the ultimate
2>ublie good.”

DESERTER
i -o
.. We think it might be a little
unkind to designate Attorney
General John Rustgard as a De
serter. In fact, he has mever
had a chance to desert since he
held his present elective posi
tion. After lie was first elected
and even before he took office,
John Rustgard sought a Judg
ship. Although always advocat
ing elective office, John-was per
fectly willing to allow section 2
of Chapter 77, 1915 law, to pre
vail. It provides:
“Vacancies in the office of the
Attorney General shall be filled
by appointment by the Govern
or of Alaska, until the next gen
eral election.”
But John was not appointed,
so he could not desert. After
lie was elected the second time,
he again sought a Judgship, wltli
the same result. So he did not
desert the office to which he wa*
elected. And now he has a real
chance to test the spirit of the
Alaska voters. It is up to them
to say whether John must desert
the office to which he was elect
ed, and allow the Governor to
appoint his successor for two
years. I
