PRIMARY ELECTION LAWS.

Many of the States gre considering their prmar election laws and ill several of them great man legislators are very seriously thinking of abolishin direct primary nominations returning to the con yontion system in States and Counties. Others ar trying to adopt more stringent regulations for non mating primaries and the restriction of voting ir them the object being to prevent members of on party from voting in the primaries of anothe. party
 It IS contended by those who desire change thl the nominating primaries destroying the solidar liy or party organizations, and that people chang, rom party to party very lightly since they hay. been adopted IL also is urged that parties no longe stand for anything in State matters for the reason ina under the nominating primaries there are no author zed party platforms and declarations of principle such as the old party conventions Were accustome to adopt Candidates under existing conditions n,al their local platforms
 mat the direct henunating primary has a ter dehcy to destroy party solidarity there is no doub al all That under it people change from party |, party more lightly must also be admitted In som4 CT the States the political party as il applies {. State and local matters has ceased to mean what meant III the old days. And legislation tending [. collhe voting A lRe primaries to actual uember. ol the poitcaT bdrties in whose nomin3tinp mi mary lie votes has not served the intended purpose because party lies do bind as tightly as tbe, used to- and there are becoming and more inde pendents all he time who affiliate first With on party and then another
 The fact is that the voters go into the nr.- haries oI the majority party in the State or Count. in which they live and fight for the princioles an, candidates in which and whom they believe in that party So generally is that true in many Inf ,r Western States for the last years there have been only few scattering votes in the Democratic pri- maries. while in few Western States. like Montana and Colorado, and practically all the Southern and most of the Border States there have been very few votes in Republican primaries. The result has been that the minority party has been emphasized as the minority party-the party to which the elements that areznnsuceessfH in the majority party primaries

JUNEAU NEVER SELFISH.

When President Shattuck at the luncheon giver the meaabers of the Legislature yesterday by th9 Juneau Commercial Association said that while thf Association organized 10 work primarily for Ju- it had devoted mQre, time and spent more money in connection with matters that concern the who Territory than it had in connection with purely loca matters, he said what literally true. The Jul neau Cofimercal Assoeiaton has never been marrow CT selfish. II has labored in season and out in broad and public spilted way for the advancement CT the whole Territory. It has given it's influence and spent money in urging action by Congress fo the AlaEka Railroad and for larger appropriations fer wagon and automobile roads to be built in other sections of the Territory with much earnestnes and energy and generosity would have been ex hibited if the money to be spent in the imned fate neighborhood Of this city
 And in doing this the Juneau Commercial Asso caton has fairly expressed Juneaus attitude towart Territorial affairs. Juneau has never been marrow CT small The people Of this city have never failed to respond to any call for help from any section O the Territory-and when the response meant tn expenditure of money the money has been forth coming in liberal proportions.

DOUBTS THE VALUE OF
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

Chicago. Aug. o4.-Declaring that an
active doubt existed as to the value of
professional baseball in American life.
the Chicago Tribune today announced
on its editorial page shat it had cur
tailed its baseball reports in favor of
other sports, particularly amateur
games.
The Tribune is down TO about half
column now for games in which the
home team plays, and to bare state
ment of vital statistics regarding other
clubs the announcement said. That
as enough.
Two or three hours in bail park
do not take anything off the waist
line of tho spectators or add anything
to chest measurement. We still admit
that professional baseball is a stimulus
for boys, but journalism has overfed
1t with space.
Amateur sports seldom produce the
ability of professional sportsmen but
they produce sound citizenry.'

JONEsY COMING.
FORTH As STAR

1t was especially noticeable during
last Sundays game between the Wire
Mill and the Shops teams that Pan
nunzio or Jonesy as he is called by
those who have not the time to call
him by his real name. is making rapid
strides toward a star baseball player
and as the season progresses Will offer
Sabo of the Mechanical club his only
real opposition in the league.
Sabo tops the league as the premier
third sacker. his stick work has
brought him to the top of the batting
averages and his whip-like. pegs to
first are as yet unequalled by any
to the front in leaps and bounds and is
third sacker in his throws to the first
baseman nor does his fielding of
ground balls lack much of the speed
with which Sabo knocks down sure
hits
Pannunzio has shown a steady gain
in his batting, coming from an aver
age of IA which included the game on
Aug. : to $50 with last Sundays con-
test, showing that he has been at bat
s. times and has hit safely times
The fielding record of the third base
man shows an average of $50 and that
he has accepted - chances at the hot
corner with but two errors.
The marked improvement in Pan
nunzio's playing ability is strengthen
ing the Wire twisters defense greatly
and is shattering the theory OF many
fans that II is one man team. Ebcr-
ling being not only the foundation Of
the club but its entire construction.
