cially in view of the salary increas- es that have been made throughout the Government service in the past 10 vars. A suit is now pending in the district court at Juneau, Alas ka, attacking the validity of Ter ritorial appropriation of $72O which he has been paid in the past, and it is likely that hereafter the Terri tory will be estopped from making any contribution to the salary of the governors secretary. He is a Federal employee, and his entire salary SHOULD BE PAID by the Federal Government. I am advised that if the limitation of $2,8OO now contained in the appropriation bill is changed, and there are sufficient funds in the appropriation, We may 0Ap0Au AOS CAo11CdA u1I0 up LO Iue amount fixed by Congress. The changing of the limitation in the appropriation bill as suggested will not increase the total appropria- asked for, but will make it neces- sary for us to rearrange the budget in the governors office. I believe this can be done, and it is recon mended that the limitation of $2,8OO be changed so that we may have an authorization for clerical hire not to exceed $3,52O.'"
 For the reasons above stated have to request that the bill be amended by striking out the figures "2. 800" and inserting in lieu thereof "3,52O." This does not increase the appropriation over that provid ed for in the bill, but allows the governor some latitude in the mat ter of the salaries to be paid for clerk hire.

 The Democrats showed fine team CD (machine) work and have an uncOntested field. It will be inter- esting to note how much smaller the vote for the Democratic candidates will be this spring in the primaries where there is no contest than this fall against Republican aspirants That is to say, how many Democrats will invade the Republican pri~ marie?

CANDIDATES AT THE PRIMARIES

There will be interesting competi- ton in the Republican primary in all Divisions this year, plenty of ap- pllcants for each office having filed.
 Delegate Sutherland is being op- enly opposed by Bartley Howerd. This action on the part of Howard explains the animosity shown by him toward Sutherland during the last legislature, since two years be. fore Howard had run as Suther- land supporter.
 J. l.. Waller of Anchorage has fil- ed for the office of Attorney General against the present incumbent John Rustgard.
 There are five in the field for de- legateship to the national cOnven- tion, two to be elected: James Wick ersham, Dr. Wm. H. Chase, of Cor dova, Gus Gelles of Anchorage, l. K Pratt of Fairbanks and w. H. Caswell of Sitka. Gelles is a Hoov- CT booster and Caswell has annOunc ed himself as an administration man.
 The race for National Committee man is between George Albrecht, President of the Republican Club of Fairbanks, Frank Aldrich of Jul, neau, and Austin Lathrop. Lathrop will be remembered as an ardent Independent" supporter of Mar quam last campaign.
 W. D. Grant of Wrangell and J. E. Gottstein are unopposed as alter mates for the delegateship to the na- tional convention.
 Divisional Candidates for the Le- gislature are as follows: Senator, Charles Benjamin, of Wrangell, F. J. Hunt of Ketchikan and Charles

tribute Of luxury nor of ease, and
therefore is opposed to acquisitive-
ness, greed, self.centered ambition;
by the very nature of happiness
it grows stronger and brighter as
it is shared. by which reason you
will see that it cannot flourish
where there is selfishness-indeed
some so so far as to say that
only when all thought of self is
lost does one begin to touch hap
piness at all. Myself, do not
believe this, for do not see how
we can have regard for others If
we have none for ourselves.
But about happiness: believe
the one who faces the sun so
shadows will fall behind him; the
one who believes the sun still
shines even though clouds obscure
it sometimes, and who proves his
gratitude for this by kindness
toward his brother, cannot get far
away from happiness, no matter
who he is or where or what his
material possessions may be.
