DEMOCRATS HOLD RALLY,
Senator Adams Addresses Virginia
Club Here.

The spring rally of the Virginia
State Democratic Club was held at
the Hotel Washington last night.
senator Adams of Colorado was the
principal speaker. His subject dealt
WIN tarlf and taxation from the
Dem ocratic viewpoint. Former .Iuds-e

issues and the policies of administra-

Plans were discussed for the clubs

strike New York and New England.
This cyclone belt extends along the
rough line of southern Indiana, Ohio,
West Virginia, Maryland-the line
in the United States where there is a
notable demarkation of temperatures.
Thus there would probably be little
difference in temperature between
Philadelphia and New York, and one
might travel from New York to Hall

change.
But the traveller from New York
to Washington ordinarily would
notice such change-hiS destina-

Spots ON SUN.
Another factor vitality affecting
weather this year, it was explained,
is the amount of radiation from the
sun. The sun gives out more heat
when there arc great numbers of
sunSpots than when there are few.
But the more heat the sun sends
out because of this the colder it is
on earth. This year the sunspots
are at their minimum, indicating that

summer possibly will be hotter This

Loss of Arctic Current.
This report was interpreted a coast
guard headquarters here as indicat-
ing that the Arctic current did not
take its customary course, since it's
effect on the water and on the coast
would have been strikingly notice
able, and it certainly would have
brought down the customary number
of icebergs. Smith now has gone out
once more, and is making underwa-
ter SoundingS in an effort to locate
the colder water which would lndl-
cate the presence of this current.
The reports have been received
with intense interest at the headquar-
ters of the weather bureau. The pos
sibilities are so indefinite that they
cannot be used in direct forecasting.
At the bureau, however, this unofficial
explanation was given by one of the
foremost experts on the physics of
the air in the world.

YES, A GOOD THING CAN COME
 OUT OF CORDOVA.

We are inclined to believe that mo good thing can come out of Cordova" if it comes from the gang that has controlled that community in the past but make an exception in the per- of the esteemed and Honorable Frank Foster. We suppose he will file for and that he will be the representative to the Legislature again, and so we reprint that poem that many have in- formed described his work during the last term nicely:

 We'll say, in uncouth rhyme,

CAN ANY GOOD COME OUT OF
 CORDOVA?

The rounding up of desperate gang of boot leggers by the Assistant District Attorney at Cordova, a gang which included in it's member ship, city councilmen city policemen and deputy United States Marshal serves to call pub lie attention to the low state of morals and abso- lute disregard for law, order and common decency that characterzes the men who pose and act as leaders socially and politically in the Gug- genheim country.
 We hold no brief for defense of the Guggen- helms but we do feel that the curse of this great company in it's Alaska operations is and has been the unprincipled teaches that have attached themselves to the township project, a project with which the Guggenheims are said to have no connection. Unfortunately for the Guggen- helm investment these teaches have always showed themselves into the spotlight of publicity that has shone on the railroad and mining pro- ject until all violations of law and outrages of decency eminating from the Cordova gadg are wrongfully attributed to the Guggenheims.
 Since the inception of the Guggenheim railroad investment these teaches have thrved on side lines of graft, debauchery, iniquity and even homicide and name honored in the commercial world has had to bear the odium for which it is not responsible
 It has been most unfortunate for Eastern in- vestors in the great Copper River mining and railroad venture that individuals who had no part
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15

Tn the investment should have by their laWless- ness and general iniquity placed stigma upon the name of the principal investors that cannot be removed.
 The dastardly murder of inoffensive men who had no means of defending themselves while be- ing shot down like dogs in the Keystone Canon the stuffing of ballot boxes along the nle of the Copper River Railroad, the establishment and maintenance of the industry of prostitution on elaborate scale in the town of Cordova and other crimes and offenses against decency were not properly attributable to the Guggenheims, but to the same gang that now thrives on disregard and disrespect for the constitution of the United States.
 There is no moral, social or statutory law which these morons respect and why the law-abiding patriotic element of the citizenry of Cordova continues to stand for the dominance of this un- desirable class in the social and political life of their city is beyond the comprehension of the decent citizens of the Territory
 When President Roosevelt shut off the coal and forest graft of the Cordova gang it immediately sent up howl for vengeance against Clifford Pltchot and every man who participated in their discontinue.
 The gang went on record strong against con- servation by the reservation system. Today it is shouting for the fishery reservation which pro- vides them the same chance for exploitation and grabbing up of public resources that MT. Pin chot's reservation denied them. We intend in the near future to publish the record of protests against reservation made by the Cordova gang in the past in order that the public may see the inconsistency and hypocricy of the gangs demand for fishery reservations

and SonG.

This is the final week of the season
at the Gayety Theater. and Manager
Jarboe offers a good bill to top on
a rather successful burlesque year.
Wine. Woman and Song Is the at
traction. There is plenty of woman
and song, but the other point OF the
triangle is eliminated by law, so Just
substitute whine and let it go at
that. But then there Is nothing TO
whine about in this show, for the per-
formers are clever and they do their
stunts as if they were looking for
ward to pleasant vacation after
forty or more weeks of two-a day.
They have that air about them that
we used to have in the last week OF
school when the summer ahead prom
ised nothing but pleasure.
The fun starts with the rise of the
curtain on the circus scene. and the
comedianS-Bert Bertrand, Harry S
LIE Van and Nate Busby-See to it
that there is no let-up in the laugh
ter bertrand is about as clever
comedian as there is in burlesQue. and
in addition he has the responsibility
of staging the entire production. lie
Van is a replica of well known
character in the comic strips of one
of our newspapers and is good
comedian and dancer. Rusby is a Ca
centric dancer. Others in the male
cast are Jimmie Walters Kenneth
Christy and Otto Johnson.
Betty Burroughs is d charming lit
tie blond Soubrette and Gertrude Raj
ston a prima donna of pleasing ap-
pearance and vocal ability. Viola
Speath is a toe dancer and in addi-
tion plays several character parts well.
This week is sort of jubilee affair
each night being set aside for some
special feature. Last night was the
chorus girls popularity contest To-
night will be a perfect figure contest,
open to outsiders as we'll as members
Of the company; Wednesday night

ises lots of fun: amateur night will

Howard" -"Struttin' Time. '

The Howard Theater this week pre-
sents a new musical comedy, appro-
priately enough entitled ''Struttin'
Time" Though this latest effort will
scarcely attain to In Dahomey" and
the more recent Shuttle Along" it
serves to while away pleasant
evening. Last night, indeed, in it's
pristine form it might have occupied
two pleasant evenings, for, though
this deponent did not leave till well
after midnight, the end was not even
in sight. In this, however, "Struttin'
Time" is merely following in the
steps of the majority of musical pro-
ductionS-what have we not suffered
in the wee sma' hours at certain
Passing Shows" before the pruning
knife had done its beneficent work p
and this embarrassment of riches
will no doubt be speedily remedied.
The main purpose of the piece is
to provide vehicle for the leading
comedian-Eddie Hunter-a diverting
mime, who frankly follows in the
steps of the late Bert Williams. In
this endeavor he is ably assisted by
deft lyrist, name undivulged, who
has furnished him with three songs
in the best -Bertian manner
A pretentious production, an un-
usually large chorus and the amaz-
ing, almost disconcerting, stamina of
the colored dancers also helped to
put over a production received by
the audience with the most vocif-
erous expressions of approval.
