Gus evening of fun and pleasure for

both opposed the plans and
policies in public as we'll as
in private. The victorious
party should have people of
it's faith and party to carry
out their plans and policies.
Their right to do that is evil
denced by the election which
made them victorious. Demo-
Gratis can not carry out demo-
cratic policies and plans by
entrusting the job to Repub-
Leans, and vice versa. You
can not Christianize a colony
by having atheists. agnostics
and infdels as teachers nor
can you carry out the plans
and policies of one political
party by intrusting the job
to the opposition party. When
that is attempted, the victor
ious party weakens itself and
quickly strengthens it's oppo-
nent, and all the strength
thus given the other party
will be arrayed against the
victors at the first opportun-
ity. In other words, it there
by makes an impregnable foe
at the most inopportune time
election time. That has
happened and will happen
again, if care is not given,
and thus defeat the will of
the people, expressed in their
acceptance of the one party
and rejection of the other,
which includes their respect
i've policies and plans.
Therefore, there is but one
and only one safe and sound
policy to follow and that is to
protect the futurh by preserv-
ing the present and that is
best done by following the
true and tried rule which has
and will stand: "TO THE
VICTORS LET THE SPOILS

Wrangell Sends Three
 School Music Festival

4 new goal for music in Alaska was reached last year when a southeastern Alaska Music Festival was established as an annual event of the Territorial schools of this division.
 The first festival. which was held at Ketchikan, was a marked success from many angles. It created a new interest in the music depart ments. caused a new feeling of con- radeship to develop among the stu dents and set a higher standard Tor musical attainment in the schools.
 The festival objective was in no way to favor the spirit of contest. but rather to assemble musical par ucipants from the schools aud moli together the most artistic musical performance that could be develop ed
 This year the festival will be held in Juneau during the week of April 21. School representatives .rom the towns in southeastern A Iaska will attend and join in both orchestra and chorus concerts.

Eddie Aroia, trumpet player, and Irene Sundberg and Amy Bradley, members of the chorus. will leave with Miss Helen Hunter. director. on the steamer Yukon due in port here on April 20. The Ketchikan and Petersburg del egaticns will travel on the same boat.
 IL is hoped by school authorities here that participation in the tes- tiYal will prove to be an incentive for more students to take all active interest in the performance of good music in order that they may haya a part in the festival next year.

 To help make the trip possible for the Wrangell delegation, the high school faculty and students will hold Open House at the school house at o'clock Friday night, April r, and all parents and friends are invited 10 attend.
