Fresh Primaries
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Two important states have had their day upon the national political stage without proving anything significant Neither in Massachusetts nor Pennsyl- vania the presidential primary event of inn mediate importance. MT. Roosevelt met his only rival Colonel Henry Breckinrdge in the Pennsylvania poll and maintained safe lead, roughly in the pro- portion of 16 to l. This is about what might have been anticipated
 The preferential primary in both states was a farce, it is likely to be in Ohio. Except for Gov ernor Ali Landon, of the chief contenders for the G. O. P. nomination made serious campaign in Massachusetts. In consequence, Landon won an overwhelming victory. In Pennsylvania, Senator Be- rah alone entered and a spectacular victory of Nevertheless the Pennsylvania delega- tion will be unnstructed Such is the power of the preferential primary!
 The more presidential primaries we read about, the more evident is that they should either be made uniform and legally binding, or else be abandoned entirely. Their only purpose at present ln most states having them, is to give a candidate chance, if he wants it. to campaign for notorety, without being able to get any real mandate from the people if he wins Preferential primaries are serving only to confuse the issue in the Republican party and Of course waste of ballots in the Democratic party, where MT Roosevets renomination is as well estab- lished as the stars in their courses.
 Conceivably the primary in Ohio Will mean a little more for it is out-and-out fight between Senator Borah alone and the regular Republican machine To some extent it is also contest between the spokesman of a reformist, liberal program and the forces of a conservatism friendly to n- dustrial monopoly But in the main it is struggle of party factions and not battle Of ideas The re- suits therefore will important in terms of strata gems within the party but not in terms of the posi- ton the party will take major economic and po- tical questions All these preferential pillow 1lghs are additions the great mountain of eVldence tht the primary is a useless institution

GOVERNMENTS SUPPORT FOR
 ALASKA PROGRAM

Alaska is particularly fortunate in having back in Washington administration which understands it's needs and has concrete plan for bringing to the Territory the things which Alaskans want and will cause the great northern empire prosper Too much of the Territorys history reveals that in the past it has been the victim of political salve. It promised much but got little in the way of sup port that would push it forward. Public men of the past have the possibilities but when they got back to Washington other matters have interfered, with the result that Alaska has not made the de- velopment that her people have rightfulv expected
 But today different situation prevails in the National Capital. Alaska has friends in the White House strong congressional support and sympathetic ears in every department No little credit for it must be given to Anthony J. Dimond, the Terrtory's delegate in Congress. The Valdez attorney has pre- sented the Alaska picture to Congress and authorities in Washington few have been able to do and he has convinced them of the merits of Alaska demands from the White House down the line
 No better proof tile potency Of the Alaska cause in Federal circles is needed than the state ments of Dr. Ernest H Gruenng, head of the Divs- ion of Territories in the Interior Department during his short stay here yesterday route to the Vest ward While having never been in the Territory
 
 it's needs than many of it's residents He frankly stated that the present Administration convinced that AlaSkas greatest need is permanent population But he didn't stop there, many have in the past. But he outlined program which the gov ernment has for attempting to bring that population to the north. Specifically, he mentioned air mail connection with the States by plane to Seattle structon of the International Highway promotion of tourist travel and further agriculture development such as the Matanuska colony
 These but four of the major undertakings which the government has in mind. While Dr. Gruening expressed himself not in position to discuss them Alaskans know from their Delegate in Congress that definite program is shaping for mili- tary air bases in the Territory and the plan for further mineral development has not been over looked. Fact is that Alaska has profted more from the raise in the price of gold which inaugurated by this Administration than any single thing in the past three years.
 Alaska has attention in Washington, and through out the nation right which it has never enjoyed to such extent in all it's history. AS the govern ment program moves forward with the solid support of Alaskans there every indication it is doing the Territory will profit beyond what a few years ago could have been termed widest dreams But it is no longer dream. It is an actuality; an empire moving forward to its natural destiny with

C.U.Organist
Is Heard in
Fine Recital
Authoritative and Col.
orful Reading Given
by Conrad Bernier.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

For its only Lenten organ recital
this year the District of Columbia
Chapter of the American Guild OF
Organists presented Conrad Bernier,
organist of the Catholic University,
last evening at the National City
Christian Church. Mr.. Bernier, who
was a pupil of Bonnet Of st. Eus-
taches, Paris, also substituted for the
renowned organist at his church
during three years. He concertized
extensively before taking up his duties
at the Catholic University and Is also
well known as a composer and author
of book on improvisation.
On his program yesterday he per-
formed for the first time his compo-
sition, Romance Sans Paroles" a
well-constructed work with a modern
color. Another manuscript offering
was Tanguays Lied" The two works
were included in a group completed
by Franck's Piece Heroique" and
Dallier's prelude" Mr.. Bernier's
first numbers were Bach's prelude
and Triple Fugue in E Flat" choral
DE Profundis" and "Toccata in +
Major" and Mendelssohn's Sonata in
B Flat Major" BY special request ne
played the finale from Vierne's Fifth
Symphony" one of the test compost
tions of the F. A. G. o. examination
to be given shortly.
From his opening number Mr.. Ber.
4aier established himself as an organls'
of susceptible feeling. His readings
are not only authoritative but colortul
his understanding of the variety o.
tonal effects possible on his instrument
permitting him an elasticity OF mooe
and descriptive power. With beautl
full clarity and lightness OF touch a.
a primal asset, he sustains an unusu'
ally fine legato of true singing quality
which held in restraint the intrinsic
virility that marked more dramatic
measures. The progression toware
his climaxes was made with we'll
timed dynamic effect and wlthou
exaggeration or an over use OF tn
powerful resources OF the organ
Skillful pedalling formed an un
obtrusive background equaling tn
dexterity of his fingers.
His Interpretation of the Bacl
numbers and the sonata were dignl
fed without being pedantic, while il
the lighter compositions he showed al
equal gift for the romantic style. Th'
program contained variety both II
subject and in manner of presentation
providing one of the most enjoyable
organ recitalS of the season.
