 man is otherwise to busy to at tend to his duties in politics and therefore, the choice of Ju- ueau is E. A. Rasmussen of the Bank of Alaska. Just how happy this choice will be remains to be seen. His utterances during the summer relative to recognition and reward of Indian voters for their allegiance and loyalty U the Republican party, met with considerable disfavor in federal circles at Juneau. As a political SGD to that circle, MT. Rasmus- sen was ill-advised by friends to make declaration as en- dorsing the efforts of Commis- sicner of Fisheries Henry o. Mailey-Which again made oth- CT friends look askance at him. So far, however, no other candi- date steps forward to announce himself as being willing to guide the deStinies of the Republican party in the Territory As in the Democratic primaries, the de-, lection of one or two large pre- cincts in the villages may mean election Or defeat of any candi- date.
 John Rustgard seems to have the inside track on nomination for judgeship at Fairbanks Gro- yer Vim and Frank Foster as good Republicans are said to have their eye on his office.

RASMUSON RETURNS FROM
 WASHINGTON

E. A. Rasmuson Cordova, Skag- way, Wrangell and Anchorage banker, who has been to Wash lngton on business trip, passed through Juneau on his way to COrdoVa, where he is living at the present time, having movei1 from his home at Skagway to look after banking affairs in the topper City, says Stroller's Weekly.
 MT. Rasmuson interviewed many prominent officials while in Washington, including Presi- dent Hoover, Secretary Wilbur, and heads of the Department of Justice.
 He stated that the President was greatly concerned over the fisheries in the Territory, believ- ing that constant watchfulness must be maintained to prevent depletion. However, he believes that under Fish Commissioner Henry O'Malley the fish are ra- pidly increasing and that great CT steps must be taken tO nre- serve the source of supply. Mr. Rasmuson told him of MT. o. Malley's efforts and declared that Alaskans in general were agreed that his policies were sound and should be followed out. Had the conservation adop1- cd under MT. O'Malley been ob- served several years earlier there would be a large increase in the Alaskan pack. According to MT. Rasmuson, MT. O'Malley stepped in at the right time to prevent the complete elimination of salmon stock.
 MT. Rasmuson said that he had talked to several depart ment heads as well as MT. Hoov-

At the next primary, in April, it is a fOregOne conclusion that there will be the most active partizan party politics that has been seen in Alaska since 1918.
 Delegate Wickersham has an- nounced that he will be a can- didate to succeed himself. From the. political by-play at the re- cent Democratic convention in Petersburg, the Juneau Empire Democrats, and they claim ! strenoth of over 400 in Juneau alone, juggled rules of the party in order to secure the territorial convention endorsement of Sen- ator Tony Dimond for the office. A. H. Ziegler of ketchikan came cut f1at-fOotedly and declared he was going after that office, con- yentiOn endorsement or no, and oerferred not to be handicapped hy having the collar Of the con- vention put On his neck. And George Crigsby, according to re- cent word from Juneau, is still of the mind that he is the savior of the Democratic party in Alaska and must therefore file for the same office. So far, no opposition has presented itself to Delegate Wickersham for the nomination
 It is being said, rather frankly, that the effort to secure non1ina- ton and appointment of John Eustgard as Judge for the Fair banks Division is a direct move to eliminate him from a battle of strength in the primary with Delegate Wickersham. Others declare it would be no contest with the Democrats fighting like Kilkenny cats in their own yard.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1881
No Compromise With C. M. Plan

Mayor Hayes decision to put the question of Waterbury's future form of government. charter, etc. etc. before the public at general meeting called for tomorrow afternoon at the City Hall is generous, to say the le'st. as far as the interests of those espousing the various changes and interpolations are concerned. We can't say as much for those who originally foisted the charter commission with it's subse- quent investigations upon the city - that was. if we may say SO, more or less man. datory. However, that is neither here nor here. Waterbury apparently must make some decision before the present general assembly adjourns on its future form of government, or charter.
 If the proposed meeting tomorrow after noon is to iron out present charter kinks. general overhauling of laws and ordinances that may have become antiquated in respect to the present times We say well and good. If on the contrary it is to pass upon the city manager plan, or any radical change in the eitys charter. we emphatically oppose the wisdom of the mayor, or anyone else offering anything but referendum of all the voters of Waterbury to decide that issue. No special meeting of any group. be it large or small is sufficiently empowered to speak for the entire city of Waterbury upon such proposed change. If the question must be met, take it to Hartford where it can be either beaten, shelved, or ordered for referendum of the entire electorate.
 The Waterbury Democrat is. and always will be. opposed to the idea of any form of city-manager government for Waterbury. It is no more cure for the ills which beset Waterbury than an inanimate traffic warning for the motorist who does not want to obey ie All that has transpired in Waterbury could have been prevented under the present city charter, if anyone cared to enforce it. Just so. all that could happen over again with the wrong kind of city manager govern uent. It is not the form SO much as the enforcement of it that must be dealt with. Waterbury is digging itself out at present under efficient leadership and can completely do so without the w-fangled proposals of those who may not be quite as interested in final outcome as being in position to run the city. No, we think Waterbury has gone long way under present conditions, and could fare worse under newer ideas. To the citizens of Waterbury we would offer this advice = make no compromise with any form of city, manager government. It is un-American in principle - Russian in execution.

Military Academy be provided with an airpia,le landing field" MT Fish maintains that when the Academy develops a potable water system from Popolopen Pond on the land asked for, west of Highland Falls that place and the village of For Montgomery should be supplied That seems u fair prosposition am General Smith, the superintendent, approves 1t.

 The question to be decided is whether the Military Academy shall have sufficient ground for artillery and small s arms ranges, practice marches. manoeuvres, summer en- campments, an airfield and an un- contaminated water supply.

people agree that the publication of marriage intentions is a splendid idea. It may seem like an eneroachment upon purely private matters to some. but in reality it is form of protection for people to whom licenses to wed are to be issued.
 'Matrimony is good thing neighbor- hood philosopher used to say but thinking it over is fatal. The best way is to shut your eyes and jump" But that was before the days when impromptu weddings were so of- ten inspired by gin cocktail parties and fol- lowed by repentance and divorce We would like to see all states impose similar restrictions such as five or three day law. Divorce is wreeking the home life of the nation. And upon the moral well being of the home our status as society is based

Deliberate Matrimony

Ohio legislators agree that too many mar riages in recent years have been entered into without due forethought. So the house of rep resentatives has passed bill requiring an inter val of five days between the application for a license and the issuance thereof. Various women's organizations supported the meas ure. They are interested. apparently. in giv- ing the girl final chance to change her mind before taking the fatal step. But the man will have the same chance.
 However, everybody must admit that the three day law in this state has been effective. Not only does it give the couple seeking a license to wed last minute respite befere the contract is consummated. but it gives the law leeway in which 10 prevent illegal marriages taking place.

Returning To Work

The business reports speak of many cases where manufacturing plants have taken idle people back to work. Philosophers who claim that work is curse. will not find many of these re-employed people agreeing with them. The factory whistle is to them the sweetest music they ever heard. Some people claim that mechanical work, with much repetition of one thing over and over again. tends to wear down peoples nervous systems. These recently idle people will not agree with that. They will say that they are far happier. even if they have to do one monotonous thing over and over again. than they were when they were idle.
 The above will be true, even with folks who had money saved up and were not suf- fering seriously from their period of unem- ployment. Somehow the mind tends to prey upon itself when it is not occupied by the thought of industry Labor is not curse imposed on man. Many people dream of time when the worker will have to toll but three or four hours day. which they feel will leave him free for the higher culture. It may work that way with some, but with many others the extended idleness would do them no good. There would be many temptations to time wasting or worse.
 The main thought of the recently unem- ployed worker here in Connecticut who goes back to some job, is as to how long it will last, and whether the industry can run regu- larly from now on. That will depend to some extent on himself He cannot control those vast and mysterious economic forces that bring prosperity and diversity. But where the workers and arrangements toll together earnestly and tremendously, the product is inn proved, its cost is reduced, and the demand for the product becomes more certain and regular.
