THE BOYS Club al Tenth street and

TIME Boys Club at Tenth street and
Avenue A has helped three genera
tions'to play the game straight, to
develop body and mind In manner to At
themselves for honorable and successful
careers as real citizens. From the seven boys
who gathered in an old basement in 1876
the club has grown until now its roster in
cludes more than 1000 names. The generos-
ity of the late Edward II. Hartman was
large factor in extending the usefulness of
the Grub; In fact he may be called the father
OF the organization ii exists to-day.
The club was organized forty-hve years
ago in rented quarters at Eighth street and
Avenue a. Outgrowing its facilities there 1t
moved to Its present site and here as a
Mecca for the youth of the East Side it's
accommodations again became inadequate.
A Few years ago an addition to the building
was erected, which doubled the capacity OF
the clubhouse.
No better evidence of the success of the
club can be found than the enthusiasm OF
the boys and young men who make It a
place Of unceasing activity from the hour
the doors open In the morning until closing
time at night. The average attendance Is
about 1000 and often as many as 1000 visit
the club In day.

mediate department, "is found in the support

trustees, accord the organization"

messengers? How shall the forces of com
rierce and industry be recruited? Is 1t not
about time that the business of the country
should cease to be taxed continually for the
maintaining of Jails, reformatores and
courts, a large part Of the cost of which is
due to the large number of youthful
offenders?
Some of the crowded districts of the city
Of New York show a terrible condition The
boys of tender ago who live In the square
mile of tenements which stretch from the
Bowery to the East River, from Fourteenth
street to Catharine, dwell in the most con-
gested quarter of the metropolis. They are
in the midst of resorts of vice at every hand.
1t is In this region that we have made an
elaborate survey? In every block we have
marked with a red dot on the map where a
boy was arrested. and made cross where
one was arrested for the second time and
sent away Wherever there are huge crowds
in the tenements there the ordinary decencies

has observed three or four families may be
living in two or three room apartments, all
kinds of vices are likely to flourish.
Here is where active constructive work
must be done. The Rotary Club organiza-

disease Of the cities is the boys club. Wher-

THE PEOPLE ARE THE REAL ALASKA

"Wha k Alaska! Is 1t the mountains and valleys. scenery and resources, or Is 1t the peo- plc who live thcre!'
 These were questions asked by Falcon .Iosn at d luncheon given by the Alaska bureau ol the Seattle Chamber of Commerce at SeattI" recently.
 Mr. .JosIin then said that in his opinion tn" real worthwhile Alaska is the people who llN" in the territory and constitute its clVlIlZatIon Ii is that which distinguishes the country from other sections of the world which have noun 1ans and valleys and scenery and resources Ii is the people who live in Alaska and con stitutc its civilization that are slowly develop ing the country and unlocking the resources so that they are producing trade and com merce and wealth for the nation.
 Accepting this premise Mir. .Josin very nat uraIv concluded that Alaska should be gov e!ned within the territory by those who lV" in it. He said that the experience of history had proved beyond all question that no people can be efficiently or effectively governed from a distance, that the greatest problem in Alaskan development is that of her government, and that the welfare of the territory, the value of Alaska to the nation, depends upon the trans ference of government from the national con grcss and Washington bureaus to the people of Alaska.
 And that is true. The success of the incom- ing administration in Alaska will depend upon whether the Alaskan policies of the na- tiona administration shall be shaped and de vclopcd in Alaska or whether they shall come here from the outside ready-made. The real Alaska is the people who live here and consti- tntc her civilization. It is not the promoters and offce-seekers, the outside exploiters, nor is it the governing bureaus. If the new admin istration is to be helpful and successful, the people who actually live in Alaska must be served, and those selected for public servants should be made to understand that thoroughly.
 In spite of the many conferences and dinners, etc, in Washington, and those which will fol- low in Seattle, the Empire has every confidence that Governor Bone will come to the territory with this principle definitely fixed. We be- Geve he will assume the duties of his office at Juneau some time in July with an open mind, ready to study Alaska from within and to con- suit with the people who have lived here long and thus gained Alaska experience in contra distinction from Alaska impressions Empire. >a., .as,a. ;.II-~' "

DIVISIONS IN CONGRESS

As this congress progresses, more and more
 1t seems that party lines are gradually becom- ing slackened.
 This was shown recently in the senate vote on the size of the regular army. The vote was on an amendment to make the minimum size of the army 10000 men for the next fiscal year On this vote two Democrats joined with 32 Re publicanS for the amendment Eleven Repub- cans and l9 Democrats voted against the amendment. This was a distinct breaking down, for the time being, of party lines, because the administration, through Secretary of War Weeks, had been urging a larger army than congress was disposed to grant That eleven Republican senators should vote against the increase to 17OO0O men showed that the admin istration holds no whip hand over the Repub- lcan ma jority in the senate. Neither does it dominate measures in the house, because the house vote on the army bill showed an even greater cleavage.
 One of the things that has served to break down party lines in the senate and house is the disinclination of the president to interfere
 in congressional affairs or to point out the course Republican congressman should follow in legislation. This is a refreshing change from the Wilson administration Under that ltSIlilt tue " ll!lt IlOuSt was alWaNS cIackln1 d whip over the backs of the Democratic mcm- bers. When Ar. Wilson wanted any legislation or wanted or did not want majority vote on any bill, Postmaster General Bmleson, the then political boss of the capital. was dispatched to the house and senate with the masters orders Ihcs" orders were carried out by the subscr vicnt Democrats. Rebels were speedily pun lSh"d by withholding patronage in their states and congressional districts. II was indeed q bold Democrat who failed to heed the party lash as wirIdcd by Mr. Wilson and Mr. BurIc son. \ few did resist thr pressure and most of these retired from congress at the outright
 brhcst of the president to their constituents. or because of.cuuaIIy effective political maucu
 vrr, directed bv Mr. BulIoson
 This k not thr ease now. The president threatens no member of congress aud Icavr, the dominant majority free hand in all logisa. tive matters. There are some leaders who gIum
 be at this, and believe that the White House should hold a tight rein over house and senate,
 Mr. Harding, however, will have mo buIldoZimy tactics. Every congressman feels free to vote on any measure without even am ntimation
 from the White House as to how he should line up on roll call.
 lt has been suggested that because the house
 Republican majority is So huge and the senate Republican majority is so large, it is not nee. ossary for the White House to exercise super NlsIon or control over the votes on important measures. There are enough of the maioritv party m senate and house to carry measures the White House desires without any urging from the presidents spokcsmen.
