which an observer of their offering

Illustrating how another Alas kan succeeded after leaving the Territory and taking up his resi- dence in the States is seen in the recent following announcement in the San Francisco Examiner:
 President of bank at 39!
 Leander L. James, for the past two years General Counsel for the Brotherhood National Bank of San Francisco, was elected to that post in the institution lately
 Member of a pioneer California family and graduate Of Stan ford, James is believed to be the youngest bank president in San Francisco, if not in California.
 He succeeds Henry E. Cass and will assume his new duties i'm mediately. Coincident with the announcement of James election was the news of the election of other officers for the bank.
 MT. James, though compara- lively young man, is real "sourdough." Until his departure from Seward a number of years ago he had lived in Alaska from the early days, the last few years, prior to his going to the

Has Average of .385- Seven Men Hitting
 300 or Better

Harvey Barragar, member of the Elks ball team in the City League, and one of the best short stops in the circuit, is the heavi- est hitter in the league today, ac- cording to figures compiled from the score book. Games on which averages were taken included the last game played, the Moose-Elks mixup on last Monday.

 The American Legion is the only outfit which does not have a man batting 300 or better. Bar ragar and Andrews of the Elks; Watts, J. McCloskey and M. Mac Spadden of the Alaska Juneau, B. Schmitz and Vale of the Moos si are the boys who have managed to keep their averages up so far

The World and All
HISTORY
By Charles p. Driscoll

History always has been a fascinating study, but
until recently few people knew about it. Histories
used to be written in such ~ponderous style that only
the most persistent students ever plowed through
them and learned the interesting story of the human
race and its growth upon the earth.
There were charming histories OF countries, OF
course. | believe that many Americans of middle age
today owe their love of their own country's history to
the Barnes history that was used in SO many public
schools a generation ago. That was the American
history that contained such a romantic picture OF
Phil Sheridan, riding helter-skelter down the Shenan-
doah Valley, crying, Turn boys, turni We're going
backl"
One of my most interesting college courses was
based upon Prescotts eight volumes about the Span.
ish in America. Prescott knew how to write.
But for ages students needed a history Of the hu.
man race that would coordinate and unity the stories
of action and advancement in diverse parts of the
planet. Then H. G. Wells wrote his Outline Of His
tory" I have just been r~e-reading this work in the
new one-volume edition, which is made even more read.
able by the inclusion Of plenty Of pictures.
Wells is not a profound historian. He does not
give much time to research or notification. And he
fills his pages with his personal viewpoint and his
nationalistic and socialistic prejudices. But his book
is a great book, nevertheless. For he has written a book
that is a connected story of the activities of the hu-
man race. He is 2 great story-teller. and his story
telling talent has made a greater history for the mass
of mankind than the history-telling talent Of the great
historians ever made.
Hendrix Willem Van Loon writes histories that are
not even as scholarly as those of Wells. If such a
thing were possible, Van Loon is less Of a historian
than Wells. But Van Loon writes his histories in the
vernacular Of his audience, and his America" is a
book that will be read with profit by thousands who
never could find time and energy to pillow through a
real history, written BY a historian.

Next-"A Bird Nightmare"
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-01-11

That q determined effort Will be made at the next
session Of the legislature to secure an amendment Of
the primary law eliminating the pledge which binds the
voter TO vote for the entire list of party candidates at
the general election is indicated by the utterances OF
a number of Texas leaders Of political thought who as
sert that the pledge is un-American and reduces the
voter to "psrty slavery"
In most of the northern states a voter is deemed
a marty man if he votes for q majority of the candi-
dates on a party ticket. In other words, if he votes
for a majority of the republican candidates at the pre-
ceding general election he is entitled to enter the re-
publican primaries, and can enter the democratic
primaries If he voted for a majority on that ticket. In
many Of the states the primaries Of all parties are
held on the same date, in the same building, with one
set of judges, each party being represented among the
primary judges.
While the party organizations in the Northern
states endeavor TO preserve party solidarity, and
preach the "vote-er-straight" doctrine, the voters give
lit,le heed to their admonitions. There has for years
ben a growing tendency among the voters to select
their candidates regardless of party affiliations and
with a view to secure better public service Party men
almost invariably vote for the party candidates on
the national and state tickets. but the majority Of
them take the view that duty to their party ends
there. and that good government demands that they
select men best suited for other offices, regardless Of
party affiliations.
Texas is democratic and probably will always re-
main in the democratic column, but that does not sig
nifty the party should reserve the right to dictate how
its members should vote az the gehefai eleetion' t"e
fact that a voter enters the primary should not pledge
him TO support all its nominees. Possibly there are
8 number of candidates on he primary ballot he would
not vote for under any consideration and other candi-
dates whom he believes should be elected in the inter-
est Of good government. 1t should be his prerogative
= q = American citizen to enter the general election
and vote for whom he may prefer. If he is a strict
marty man he will probably give the candidate Of his
marty preference, but he should have the privilege Of
.scratching" whenever, in his opinion, it should be
dops in the interest of good government.
The Texas primary pledge is merely a relic Of the
oA DAYS of partisan politics when the rank and file,
lie their leaders. refused to concede that there
might be some virtue or merit in opposition parties.
nhe American voter of today takes a different view of
~o,;.;ts He is more Independent, no longer bound by
a.rtv traditions and party p~rejudices, and such re-
..raints on independence as the Texas primary pledge
j esrtain 20 eventually result in a revolt.
