HAIR! HAIR! HAIR!

"The Empire is treating the primary election contest as a matter of news. It is not it's present intention to attempt in anywise to influence the primary result at all. It's attitude is strictly independent. When the tickets are in the field it may offer advice to the voters. It cer- tainly will do so if it then be- lieves that it can serve the well fare of the people of Alaska in that way. The Empire will con- tinue to stand for the Territory of Alaska stanchly, according to it's light, and, naturally Juneau is it's favOrite Alaska town.
 But in the meantime, The Elm rire has no primary choice.

PLAYING TO WIN

Any game which has for its objective only to win regardless of rules of the game or of sports manship, has no flavor in the minds or hearts of fans of the games.
 A team won the championship of Willamette Valley by playing an ineligible. (The coach and captain knew but the principal of the school and the student as sociation did not know of the in eligibility of the player.) Be- fore the ink had hardly dried on the press telling of this champ ionship, another school protest ed the award on the ground that 8 team playing an ineligible man under their association rules be- came ineligible to holding any honors they might have won by using such a man.
 The matter was brought be- fore the students, who after con- siderable discussion, repudiated the championship claims.
 The winning of the game did lot mean so much to this school as playing the game. And in repudiating honors won by the use of an ineligible, the student body felt cleaner and better for it.
 Just playing to win is the req son of more and more rules in every line of sport. It is the req son for much of the unethical and dishonest business deals; of crooked politics. It is the bane of every effort, moral, mental or physical. It is not tolerated by the right thinking and acting. It has no part in business or poli- tics, sport or business. It ruins and never makes men in the large sense of the word.
 The rabbit punch. the offside play, the questionable decision accepted knowing it to be the wrong decision, the befouling of 3 name to bring discredit in or Ger to defeat in sport, business or politics, all come from the desire to win at any cost. When men get down to that basis, then l5 it time to turn to and call it 8 day,

THE TOWN LAGs

Take away the inspiration of a good weekly newspaper and the town lags, it's population set ties into a state of mental and physical satisfa ction, and it's de- sire for growth and better living conditions becomes dormant.
 Civic spirit which is always sponsored and promulgated by real newspapers is the very pulse
 that makes towns and cities grow, it increases their trading and number of residents, elevateS the standards of living and thus enables the population to earn
 more and spend more. AS long as it's advertising income is suff1- cient the Somerset County
 TIMES can give it's utmost eff
 OrtS to promoting CIVIC INTER- E.STS and COMMUNITY BET
 -ERMENT PROGRAMS. Tn e
 TIMES has always been a great factor in increasing the retail trading area of Somerset. It has always conducted proper circu- Ilation promotion, and it has done
 far more than any other agency
 10 carry the retail merchandise messages to the outlying territory
 A newspaper to do this always successfully must prosper f1nan- cially. Anything that interferes
 with it's growth and development
 will in time, REACT against the
 town. Somerset, (Po.,) TIMES.

OUR PRESS AGENT WRONG

During the past couple or weeks we have had press agent going about town telling our friends that the plant and equipment of The ALASKAN is to be moved to Ketchikan in the next two weeks.
 This is surely a scoop on The ALASKAN and it's force. It ap-. rears that our agent CD knows more about our business than we do ourselves. For certainly We have no knowledge of any move or of any contemplation of such a step.
 The climate is fine. We have been treated fine albeit rough at times but there were times when We punched as hard as we had to take. We have enjoyed ourselves following along the lines of what We believe right re- eardless of other opinions. We have not always stood on the popular side nor will we look for that side in the future. If it IS right and good for the town, We will support it; if We believe 1t against the interests of the town We will oppose it. If we are wrong, we are willing to be shown and just as willing to aS- sume the correct position. In the meantime we will continue tc peddle our own papers in Petersburg and vicinity, nor do we even plan to take a "vaca- tion."
The Alaskan., 1930-02-07

Unless something interveneS to cause a change it will continue to the end without favorites for the various nominations, Repub- lican or Democrat.-Juneau Elm pire.
 "BE NEUTRAL IN THOUGHT
 The ALASKAN is reminded of the late President Woodrow Will sons urge to all Americans prior to the World War, that they be neutral in act and thought at all times.
 Be neutral in thought. Ye shades of the old apple tree. Hay no opinion as to the right ness or wrongness of matters of principle.

JUSTICE OUT OF JOINT

Old Mrs. Shakes was badly beaten up by Paul AIiX in his at tempt to rob her. While she was still suffering from he1 bruises, Judge William Thomas had the trial and sentenced the man to five months in jail and to pay a $500 fine
 If he had been caught with a flask on his hip instead of this attempt to murder, the fellow would probably have been sen fenced to serve one year in jail end pay 2 fine of $1 1000,

The Times lis glad to see MT. Knight enter the primaries; his coming for ward may give encouragement 10 other men of his calibre to of- ter their services to the terri tory, thereby lessening the haz- ard of making selections at the Ipolls-Anchorage Times.

we are not mistaken, there arc deputy clerks of the court at sitka, Skagway and Hyder. No doubt there is a good and suffi- cient reason for maintaining clerks at these places. Some of the appointments were made years ago. Petersburg has de- veloped more rapidly in recent years than some of the other towns and We think it is now time that the town should be given this recognition.
The Alaskan., 1930-02-07
OUR NEW CITIZENS

No less than eight of our Pe- tersburg people returned from ketchikan this week bringing with them those precious bits Ol paper signed by the Judge of the District Court making them full t1edged citizens of the United States of America.
 To those of us who were born under the stars and stripes, , and who for the most part, take citizenship all too lightly, there is something inspiring in the contemplation of the trouble and expense which is incurred by others in order to acquire the privileges which so many of us accept as a matter of course. The American born youth, upon reaching his majority, is auto matically endowed with the pri vileges of citizenship and in far tCO many instances, is not pre- Iared for the responsibilities. Even some of our high school students are pitiably ignorant cf civil government. This is not true of the naturaliZed citizen. He must necessarily have made extensive preparation for his final examination. The expense Cf his trip with his witnesses to the place where the examination may be conducted is at least $20O at the very lowest estimate. He must value highly that which costs such sacrifice.
 Tn this connection The ALAS KAN wonders why it was neces- sary to bleed Petersburg people this $500. There are approxi- nlately forty persons in Peters burg who are prospective appli- cants for final citizenship eX- animation. Many of them arc delaying their examinations be- cause they feel they cannot af- ford to incur this expense. Forty persons at $2OO each represents an expense of $8,O00. If a De- putty Clerk of the District Court were appointed for Petersburg District, this would not be ne cesSary, as their examinations could then be conducted here. Deputy Clerks have been ap- pointed in other Alaskan towns where there is less business transacted and which have less population than Petersburg. If
