day, Warden lyman discussed the plan
as follows:
BY Thomas lyman.
written for the United Press)
While all our "trusty" prisoners
have plenty of outdoor exercise in the
way Of sports, we have never been
able heretofore to take care, in the
same way, of prisoners not considered
trustworthy. l have decided to ere
ate an outdoor amusement park for
this class of men. We are now con-
structing a wall about a siX-acre en-
closure back of the prison, where such
men can play baseball or indulge in
other sports during their leisure
hours.
OF course, we have in the prison
chapel the regular motion picture
shows, yet there are great many
men, who are employed in our. cell
houses, prison shops, boiler room, etc,
who do not get enough exercise.
1t has long been my theory, and 1
think it has proved correct from the
experience we have had with men in
our road camps, that it is hard to build
up man morally or to strengthen his
character, without first building him
up physically. We purchased all of
the buildings of the Fremont County
Fair Association and are placing a
grand stand in this enclosure for the
use of the prisoners. There will be
an opening to this enclosure, to what
is known as the South Gate of the
prison, which opens on to the street
and one portion of the grand stand can
be used by the public to see ball games
or other athletic amusements partici-
pated in by the prisoners.
The main feature will be that men
after completing their tasks for the
day, will be allowed to go into the park
for such exercise as will do them the
most good. Each prisoner in the in
stitution will be provided with an hon
or button and will be allowed to have
access to the park during his leisure
hours, so long as his behavior is what
it should be. Should he violate any
of the rules of the institution, he will
be deprived of his button and will not
have access to the park.
We found, when we installed the
motion picture apparatus at the in
stitution, that it helped us to keep
better discipline for the reason that
men who violated rules were excluded
from the picture exhibitions for all
the way from three to six months. l
feel that, with the park in operation
it will not only add to the efficiency
of the work of the men, but it will
have a tendency to reduce violations
of the prison rules.
OF course, our men in the road
camps are well provided for in this
way and they constitute half of our
pgrison population, but have felt the
need of something of this kind at the
institution for a lon gtime and with
the cooperation of the penitentiary
commissioner we are endeavoring dur
ing this year to put this park in op-

If congress will pass the bill pres tnted by Delegate Wickersham pro. Niding for a development board for Alaska, a serious problem that Gas been confronting this territory for o lCng time will be solved With the exception of the Alaska railroad hi the development board bill is the most important presented by AIr Wickersham. and there is reason to believe that the measure will beconl, a law.
 Home rule for Alaska, as far as 1t has been applied in the formation of the recent legislature has proved to be dismal failure and instead of i'm proving conditions has left the law $ Of the territory in hopeless tansle from which it can only be relieved " expensive litigation or by the passage of new laws by congress to nullicy those passed by the legislature.
 As soon as Alaskas population
  reaches the point where 1t can sup pert itself then home rule or even a state government. will be desirable. but there are not enough people in the whole of Alaska at the present tune t" make moderate sized city
 By means of development board which would more properly be a go, erning board, the affairs of the terri tory would be administered at the eN Iense of the federal government, and at the same time it's government woul ba of local nature, as the bill provide, fer the appointment of Alaskans as members.
 The new Wickersham bill, in it's re. stricted nature, provides for acomm'.,. sion form of government for the terri tory, kind of government that some "f the states are now trying to get ir Tlace of legislatures and governors The people of Portland, for instance are petitioning for a law that will gh , Oregon commission form of goverr ment for 1t is deemed to be better than the present form. If that kin of government is desirable for som, cf the states why should it not b, acceptable for Alaska?
 The only people who can reasonapl, object to the proposed new form O government for Alaska are the pol: ticians who seek legislative positio x that would be prohibited by the pro posed new conditions.-Alaska Citi zen.

President Wilson's declaration III favor of the direct primary system .. f nominating candidates for president and vice president recalls Jackson g fight against the old congressional caucus system. In the early days of 'ur country's history party candidates for the presidency were elected by the congressional delegations from the several states In that manner wei a Jefferson, Madison and Monroe and their opponents nominated. The, came the fiasco of 1924 when Jackson Adams. Clay and Crawford received votes for president. Jackson lead in both in the number of popular and electoral votes received by the can'i- dates but combination of the friends uf the minority candidates in the house "f representatives, where the election went because of the failure of Jack son to receive a clear majority of the votes in the electoral college, resulted iI the selection of John Quincy Ad ans to be president Jackson, seeing the people being ruled by congress rather than ruling. declared war nn the congressional caucus and it gave Way to the national party convention system. It was d step toward direct control by the masses. Then came tn, perfection of the political organizo ti"ns in the separate states and the enthronement of the bosses who by controlling state delegates and trad irg with each other. dictated presi- dental nominations.
 Now Wilson proposes to cure this evil, as Jackson cured the evil of his day, by applying even a greater meas ure of democracy in the control oi parties. His purpose is to apply thc direct primary method of nominatlns candidates that has worked SO sue Cessfully in the different states ut the nation at laIge.-Alaska Empne
