REASONS FOR POSTPONING PRIMARY

One of the excellent things that would be served if the primary election date in Alaska were postponed until August would be that candidates would not be required to file their declarations of candidacy until after the party platforms had been adopted. It would permit the holding of Territorial Conventions in May or June for the selection of delegates to the National Conventions in June when the Na- tiona7 platforms would be adopted, That would mean that the issues between parties would be fairly drawn when local candidates announced their party allegiance by filing for nomina- tions, on party tickets. Almost always party conventions, particularly National conventions, cause many people to transfer their party al legiance or to become independents In these days when people change from party to party
 lightly it would be well to wait until the, is- sues were made up before launching tickets.
 One other thing. Under arrangements as they are now the primary campaign which begins in February and ends late ln April, comes rig ght in the midst of the long session of Congress-just at the time when it is doing it's hardest work The long session begins the first of December and shortly afterward comes the holiday recess. It takes until February for Congress to catch its stride. The people of AL
 aska have right to the undiverted services of their representative in Congress in that important time He should not have to divide his attention between the affairs of his con- stituents at Washington and primary elec tion contest back home. And the representa- tive, himself, ought not to be required to ab- sent himself from his constituents when they are discussing his record in Washington, yet Inc would be neglecting the things he is paid

THE GET-TOGETHER LUNCHEONS

Every Saturday noon at the Model Cate there is being held free-for-all, get-together luncheon, to which anyone interested In the advancement of the town is invited to attend, pav for his own lunch and put in his oar on the general discussion of plans and means of promoting improvements. The movement holds promising possibilities of concrete benefit to the town. The stirring up of general interest in such improvements and the spirit of CO., operation in producing them, is all that Cor dova needs to become the livest town in Alaska. That there is lively appreciation of this fact and general inclination toward pu]]inc together to that end is indicated by the large attendance at the gatherings and the numerous and varied suggestions that have been offered for action.
 There are many things that can be done by a general get-together spirit to add to Cor dova's attractveness, general prosperity and tone. A town is like a person 1t IS judged by it's outer appearance. And nothing speaks so loudly of the spirit of town and the people that make it as the general air of self-respect and "uuality'' exemplified by the care given to its streets, it's recreation places, sightseeing joints and general accommodations. There IS no other town in the Territory that holds more numerous and more varied features of interest to the visitor than does Cordova; there IS none that has greater resources for develop mcnt. With the exception of marble deposits, Cordova and the Copper River Valley have all the natural resources found in any other part of the Territory. We have much here to show and to talk about. It needs only our own expectations of that fact and some defin- ite concrete action on our own part. to make Cordova the most interesting and attractive town in Alaska The Saturday noon meetings are step in the right direction. There IS but one thing to be guarded against: that they do not end in mere talk There's good time to stop talking and get to work. If the Sat urday 1uncheons will take note of that fact, they will be productive of good results.

 At the close of the school year 1921 1922 the department sent letters of inquiry to universi- ties, colleges, normal schools etc., in which members of the 1921 graduating class of Alaska high schools were enrolled, requesting information on the standing made by Alaska students. Replies were received on the work of nineteen students and indicated records ranging all the way from satisfactory to s11- perior for eighteen students and failure in the case of one student who entered the United States Military Academy at West Point New York, and who was honorablv dis charged at the end of the first semester for deficiency in mathematics and French
 Complete information on the records which are being made by the thirty members of the 1922 graduating class of Alaska high schools who are enrolled in colleges and universities during the present school year are not avail able. However, we are able to present tho records of the nine students who are enrolled in the Freshman class of the University of Washington. These nine students were gradu- ated from three Alaska high schools in May, 1922, as follows: Anchorage 2; Fairbanks, ?; Juneau, > Of this group, not single one failed to pass the mid-vea examinations. The records of the University show that approxi- matelv per cent of the students enrolled in the Freshman class were dropped at the mid dle of the year for failure in their work. Tn other words, whereas but 97 per cent of the entire membership, representing high schools throughout the Northwest. did satisfactory work, 100 per cent of the Alaska high school graduates made good-Alaska School Bulle- tin.

EXERTING EFFORT IN EDUCATIONAL
 CAUSE

Senator Snodgrass is an earnest advocate for adeouate appropriations to properly main tain our Territorial institutions For that
 reason he thinks that the Agricultural Col iege and School of Mines at Fairbanks should be treated as generously as the revenues of the Territory will permit And we believe that
 he will find but little opposition to this idea
 among the Legislators, for it is generally recognized that the new institution is destined to grow and prove most potent factor in the future development of Interior Alaska. It will not only always be mining section but the agricultural and stock possibilities will make certain growing settlement that will be sur prising as times goes by. And with the com ing of home seekers there will be strong in ducement for permanent settlers in the knowl- edge that the educational facilities will be ex- ceptional]y good and assure college educa- ton for the boy and girl who otherwise might not be sent long distance to the States to

WHERE MAN IS SECOND

An Illuminating side light upon current discussions reeardng the comparative status of women's rights in America and other coun- tries is supplied by a glance at the method of life among the Tuaregs found in the village of Tripoli, North Africa. Among these peo- pie, by all the laws of the country, the men have to obey the women. Descent is traced through the mother, and the men go yelled. All goods, tents, camels, and clothes are the women's property, the stick he carries and the wooden box into which he puts what his wife suffers him to possess being all that the man owns. A veritabe instance of topsy- turydom, according to the worlds standards, yet an interesting commentary on the force of habit and belief among nkind.-Christian Science Monitor

secure what can be possibly better given them almost at their doors The college at Fair banks will grow in importance with the pass ing of time and it is safe to say that the mem bers of the present and future Legislatures will keep pace with the required necessities and accommodations. It is only necessary to discuss the situation for fifteen minutes with Senator Snodgrass to become an enthusiastic booster for the College. His faith seems well founded and certainly his arguments are most convincing If the appropriation this session is not as large as it should be it certainly will not be through the lack of energy and effort upon the part of Senator grass.-Juneau Capital

The answer to the question, ''Do Alaska high school graduates funk when they enter Outside colleges and universities and are forced to compete with graduates of standard high schools in the States?" is emphatically 'NoH" Street corner gossips sometimes con- vev the doleful information that the graduate of an Alaska high school is handicapped in life's race and must necessarily take second arv place.

New York Women
!, To Sell Sandwiches
From Covered Wagon


; A covered Wagon" for the North
Fork road.
Misses Katherine Kreitinger and
Elizabeth Allison of New York City
have arrived in Cody and announced
their intention of establishing a lunch
wagon at some point Of vantage on
the North Fork road, for the accomo-
dation Of tourist parties who desire a
bit of refreshment while enroute to
the Park. These ladies have hit up
on the novel idea of calling their es-
Enlistment "The Covered Wagon
and having a wagon fitted out in true
arava style as were the wagon
trains of pioneer days, believing that
such an outfit will attract the masses
of the people who tour the country,
and especially eastern folk, with
whom things western have made a
tremendous hit.
The idea was suggested to these
ladies by the picture play, "The Gov
cred Wagon" which is now being
shown throughout the country, the
most of the outdoor scenes of which
were filmed in the southern part of
Wyoming.
