Territory has almost completed it's slate of recom- mendations to be submitted to President Roosevelt for Federal offices in the Territory. These will be backed by the unanimous endorsement of the entire organization in Alaska, and by the rank and file of the Democratic Party. Alaskans make tain of having fellow Aaskans occupy Federal posi- tions by lending their support to those so endorsed, regardless of politics. We believe they will choose that rather than to oppose the organization recommendations because of purely factona parti- san or personal differences.
 The Juneau Pioneers have taken the leadership among nonpolitical organizations in the effort too prevent continued "carpetbag" government Other civic bodies would be well advised to adopt a like policy.

ROOSEVELT CONTINUES TO BREAK
 PRECEDENTS.

If President Elect Roosevelt continues to conduct himself as he has done since his nomination at Chicago last June he will became adept at the art of shattering precedents. He set the fashion for new style of notification ceremonies and acceptances by flying to the convention city to appear in person before the gathering that had nominated him. He has had two personal conferences with President Hoover on grave national problems. He has taken occasion to affirm his support of the traditional American policy in the Far East He expressed his own approval of President Hoover's request for authority to declare embargo. All of these things were taken as matter of course.
 More recently he held long conversation at the Little White House. at Warm Springs Ga, with Sir Donald Lindsay, British Ambassador, which over- turned the tradition that foreign diplomats should have no traffic with Federal officers before they take office True, Secretary of State Stimson had been keeping alive contacts between MT. Roosevelt and the British Government but these did not per init the clearness of vision of the views of either that was necessary both sides if a proper set-up was to be already available when MT. Roosevelt assumes the Presidency. It was plain that real contact was desirable to effect this
 MT. Roosevelt, therefore, took matters into his own hands and invited the British Ambassador to visit which followed the invitation served to apprise MT Roosevelt of the British debt attitude and to permit him to advise the British Government of the policy that question that he will insist upon The ground is thus cleared for prompt action after March 4 next.
 But this was not enough precedent smashing to suit the President-Elect. He will be inaugurated on Saturday, March 4 He has just issued invi- tation to the Governors of the AS States to meet with him in conference two days later for the pur pose of discussing many of the serious problems vexing both National and State governments. h. cuded the list of topics mortgage foreclos- ures, taxation, unemployment relief, better of land and reorganization of local governments All of the States today dealing with these problems individually without seriously taking into consdera- ton what the others and the National Government doing Had MT Roosevelt followed the usual practice he would have contented himself with addressing himself to Congress these subjects hoping, of course, that the States might voluntarily take some notice of his suggestions in the message By gathering the several Governors with him around the council table he is assured all of them will become familiar with what he has in mind. He himself, will be better fitted to suggest a national program after discussing these matters with the Chief Executives of the States All around the country ought to be materially benefited by his action.
 Precedent, someone has said is the bugaboo o small minds The President-Eect has already con. clusively proved it has terrors for him.

In it's resolution urging that none but bona fde Alaskans be appointed to fill Federal offices in Alaska, Igloo No. G. Pioneers of Alaska, of this city, have voiced the sentiments of the entire Ter ritory. And Alaskans not unique in their ex- ecration of carpetbaggers Tradtionally, Americans disnclined to be governed by outsiders The early coonists who pioneered the Atlantic seaboard protested against the practice of Englands Kings in sending their Governors and other officials from the formation of the republic, objected to the sane thing.

 Alaskans from the first have objected to having outsiders sent here to fill important Federal posts Yet they have not always followed policies designed to discourage that practice. They have been. on occasion too violently partisan too factona in their own protestations, to make it possible to prevent "carpetbagging" In their zeal to obtain office tor their own members, or prevent the appointment of members of others factions have staged nternecine warfare that has killed off all local candidates and resulted in the appointment of officers from outside of the Territory
 There is not position in Alaska under the Fed eral Government that Aaskans cannot qualify to fill Not only that but they can fill them more com peently and with greater degree of satisfaction to their fellow Alaskans than can possibly be done by non-Alaskans The Democratic organization in the

CHAPTER 30. LEILA SPEAKS HER MIND

 Before Barbara had time to be- come frightened a cool voice said -"Hullo! There you are!"- and Leila Cane came out into the hall
 I've been to your rooms. Your landlady said you'd moved into your Texeter house, but you just might be here. So I thought I'd chance finding you. I've come straight from London"
 "Why?" asked Barbara bluntly
 The uncertain light of the swing ing oil lamp showed no flush on Leila's cheek, but Barbara sensed that she felt repulsed.
 T didn't mean to sound snub- by she amended, though without haste, Only wondered what you could have to say to me that was so important" She caught her breath sharply. There's nothing wrong with Mark?"
 Marks in clover. .. . Have you dealt with all this junk by your self?"
 "Yes."
 Just like Mrs. Lodely to swing it all on to you"
 That's not for you to say, Leila"
 Leila was unabashed. She turn ed back into the sitting room and eyed the fountain pen and the pa pers. She was dressed in the gold en tan leather coat and hat in which she looked so supple and invulnerable and aloof. She pick ed up large sealed envelope torn at the edges and weighed it ab- sently in her hand.
 You forget these, Barbara"
 No There was no room. mus take them in a separate par eel. .. ;. Oh, that big envelope has split! suppose there was too much in it."
 Leila turned it over carelessly and it split further. It had been |ridiculously crammed.

 Barbara was scornful and be- cause she was also tired to the point of collapse she let her scorn show. She began to put Mrs. Lode ly's papers together, placing one i!l-tied bundle upon the other. Leila's hand went out and stopped her.
 Barbara" She sounded al most moved. for Leila-"We used to be friends as children. Why do you hate me so" T don't hate you" she pro- tested-"exactly." T think you do-eXactly. And you've no reason. What lis it you have against me?" T suppose that I reSent-what- ever there is-between you and Mark"
 There's nothing between us new. And for what there once may have been, blame Mark as well as me" Blame Mark?" Barbara said, her scorn intensifying. How fu- tile of you to push responsibility on to poor Mark"
 Then she stepped back; back and back until a chair impeded her retreat. And step by step, Leila pursued her.
 Your poor Mark! Why yours why yours? He could have been mine! He would have been hap pier with me. You're lovely, in a picture book way, but you've never attracted him as I have. He isn't your type of lover. An, you're offended by that! You think I've no right to say it!"
 You have less than no right. You're impertinent."
 And you're selfish"

words! Oh, Curtis!" Alice's voice trembled.
How could you? How could you use such
language?"

was nobody else to talk to-
But surely there were men at the country
club"
1--WE tried and tried my blamedest to talk
to 'em," Curt said, a stubborn expression dis
turbing to Alice slowly creeping over his face.
They don't know nothin' One of 'em has
story about how he was travelin' in Italy one
time. He tells it ever time you look crossways
at him, and it wasn't much of story to start
with Runs on and on like this here:

that you'd rather be woods foreman
Curt didn't hesitate instant He was de-
termined not to give an inch on this society
stuff. He was bound to fight it out.

said grimly.
THE next afternoon Curt felt more cheerful
and brave. He was going out for tennis.
The art side Of society had left him grcggy, he
admitted, but he was certain that he would
relish outdoor sports
The start was inspiring. Alice told him that
he locked like q Greek god when he dressed
for his first try at tennis. His powerful neck,
rosy complexion and mop Of blond hair looked
superb above the silk tennis shirt. And the
white flannel pants draped handsomely about
his sturdy logger's legs.

A west wind was beating it up from the

and the hillside homes Of the society folk.
At the edge Of the park Curt ran upon four
Swedes.

with wet gunny sacks along the fire line, and
others were strung out in single file through
the field Of pea vines, and kept on the run
with buckets of water.
The tennis stars, bridge sharps, hunters and
the folk of the Little Art Theater carried ON

rule. The fire receded under the attack, leav-

For hours from the time he answered the

STATE HOLDS
 "42ND STREET"

In response to hundreds of re- quests that have been received by letter and telephone the manage nient announces that "42nd Street." Warner Brothers sensational mus ical hit, will be held over at the State theater until Friday night.
 Few productions have lived up to it's expectations of comprehensive greatness as has this drama of the show world, with its all star cast of eleven, its powerful dramatic theme, its gigantic spectacles with one hundred and fifty gorgeously costumed chorus girls in novel dances and ensembles, it's colorful- ness, it's gaiety, it's wit and its heart interest. The success of this pie ture indicates new public demand for music and dance effects on the screen providing they form a sort of dramatic entertainment.
 The cast includes such names as Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent Una Merkel, Ruby Keeler. Guy Kibbes, Dick Powell, Ginger Rogers, Ned Sparks, Allen Jenkins, George E. Stone and others.
 The spectacular dances and en- sembles were created and staged by Busby Berkeley, the well known Broadway director. while the catchy song numbers were written by Al Dublin and Harry Warren.
 The screen play by Rian James and James Seymour was taken from the novel by Bradford Ropes.
 The picture, now in it's fourth day at the State, has broken every existing attendance record at this theater. A splendid surrounding program including comedy, Spotlight, Mickey Mouse cartoon and other featurettes accompanies the feature offering.
