SENIOR BALL IS SUCCESS

The old Nat" once more became the center of festivity on the Is- land with the, staging of the Senior Ball there last Saturday evening. !, With a colorful autumn setting Providing the background, more than hundred people from both sides of the channel participated in the gaiety to make the evening a perfect social success.
 The seniors, who sponsored the Ball, worked diligently to create the autumn effect which was achieved by means of soft orange balcony lamps, hundreds of glitter ing stars suspended from the ceil- ing, shaded ceiling lights, and au- tumn twigs attractively arranged around the hall
 And appropriately, a dance. "Au- tumn Leaves" was cleverly enacted, as a special intermission number, by Alfreda Fleek, Patsy F'leek, Doris Cahill, Doris Balog, and Evelyn Spain, members of Miss Grace Nag hel's dancing class. The children were garbed as leaves.

 So when he defined that opposi- ton as the Republican party, it is reasonable to believe that he meant something by it. What could he have meant except that the situa- tion had changed since 1882, and that he meant to take full coEni- 2ance of that change?
 Nor is this worklng Of the Presi- dential mind inexplicable when the conditions of 1892 are compared with those Of 1886 Then, MT. Roosevelt was accepting the nomination o1 what had been recorded at the polls for twelve years as the minority party. He must split off part o1 the majority party if he was to win He did not propose to denounce ano alienate the party as whole.
 Now the latest recorded majority is the other way.

BOB | E: ELLIS FLIES R CE, ARNOLD
 FROM KETCHIKAN
Pilot Reports Successful Fishing Season at Ket-
 chikan and West Coast

Pilot Bob Ellis aboard his 4-place red Waco biplane, arrived in Ju- neau Sunday forenoon from Kut- chikan.
 w. c. Arnold, Ketchikan attorney, and Harry Race, Juneau and Ket- chikan druggist and newly elected member of the 1937 Legislature, were passengers aboard the plane. Despite wind and fog, Ellis made the trip in an hour and 50 minutes from Ketchikan without going over land.
 Pilot Ellis, whose company is the Ellis Air Transport, left Juneau at 1:30 today returning to Ketchikan with Race, Jeff Anderson of the Ketchikan Soda Works and J. B Warrack as passengers.
 Natives on the West Coast, at Hydaburg, Klawock, Craig and Met lakatla, and other native villages have had the best fishing seasor in years, Ellis said.
 Calm weather that prevailed dur. ing. the summer permitted seiner: to fish. out from shore and d Waterfall it is claimed that 50 pei cent of the cannery's fish this veal came from seiners.
 At Waterfall, where Eigel Busch mann is general superintendent fol the Naket Packing Company, the company is spending $200000 on a new cannery, new dock, warehouses and bunkhouses.
 Everyone in Ketchikan was SC busy this summer that canneries there could not have completed the season had not cannery crews southbound from the Westward stopped off in Ketchikan and gone to work for the local canneries, according to Ellis.
 At Metlakatla, where the cannery is operated by the Annette Island Packing Company under contract from the Metlakatla Indians, the salmon pack passed it's 100,000-cast mark early in the season and tho Duncanites have reaped a splendid harvest.

FISH ARE BIGGER BIGGER, BIGGER
 AND YET BIGGER

Capt. Peter Oswald, in port over the weekend on his salmon boat Marie, told this tale of the sea and the fish that are in it. F
 According to Capt. Oswald: He had just baited hook with nice fresh herring and tossed it over board, all in the line of his busi- ness. 6
 Results of this prozaic move of his were bit startling.
 On pulling in the line some time later, he found on the hook not just the one fish that he could reasonably expect, but-a Bullhead had swallowed the herring bait, a big redsnapper had then taken the bullhead, followed by ling cod, that had swallowed the red snap per, and wrapped around all of them, a one hundred and fifty pound halibut that had made lunch of all four fish.

CHARLIE WAUL IN JAIL AGAIN ON
 ASSAULT CHARGE

Charlie Waul, negro, was back in the Federal jail today after a weekend of freedom, again faced with a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, "to wit: knife"
 Charge of assault with a danger ous weapon, ito wit: knife" was dismissed against Waul last week after a hearing in U. s. Commis- sioner's Court, the outgrowth of an altercation on lower Franklin Street in which Robert Clark was stabbed.
 Todays charge against Waul is that he assaulted Lloyd "Kinky'' Bayers on June 25, 1884, again, "to wit: a knife,' during verbal dis pute.

 hesitate to attack it by name. The change in psychology is a signifi- cant one. In it's possible long-term effect on political alignments, it far overshadows any question of how the compart Ii lively insignificant Communist vote lines up in 1886.
 There remains, naturally, the ques- tion whether MT Roosevelt's judg- ment about this is correct-whether the Republican groups which have supported him have definitely left their party and joined his, or whether they merely have been talk ing a walk. Perhaps more can be told about that after the election returns are in.

the immortal bill of rights.
 The idea that Governor Smith vished to convey in 1888 is the idea we oil had, namely, that in 6 time of stress and torment, when every moment demanded action e preserve human life and prevent human suffering, 1t was imperative to cease wasteful quibbling. He meant the time had passed for legal hair-splitting and pOmpCus phrase ology.
 Governor smith meant he was tired of bcresotne seif-styied Ccfi- stitutiCnal authorities. like James M. Beck, the chief justice of the Liberty League" who has appear ed ten times before the Supreme Court on Constitutional questions and been turned down eight times.
 History will show and the record now will show that President Rocse- welt has never advocated the adop- ton of single measure designed to curb in any way the just liberties of any man.
 Emergency of 'sS
 of course, President Roosevelt was unable to say definitely and finally in the great emergency of 1883 just where state power ended and federal power began. Of course, Congress was unable to say flatly and finally that the measures adopted would come within the framework of the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court. Who could say conclusively the A. A.A. was Constitutional or uncon- stitutional7 Why, even the court itself differed on that issue, and three of it's keenest members gave their unqualified opinion that 1t was constitutional.
 We anticipate unprincipled men, engaged only in promoting their own interests, to join the hypo- critical and pharisaical chorus, to join the hue and cry of those who falsely accuse the President of the United States of trying to under mine the organic law of this coun- try. But we don't expect 1t from high-minded individuals who know better, from men who themselves have advocated far more drastic policies and programs than MT. Roosevelt has pursued. If you con- demn the President, Governor Smith, you condemn yourself 100 fold.
 The list of directors and officers of the American Liberty League reads like a rollcall of the men who have despoiled the oil, coal and water power resources of this coun- try. With notable exceptions they were lined up against you in 1928 supplying the money with which Herbert Hoover went about the country denouncing you as Q Com rnunist and Q Socialist.
 Strange Associates
 It was strange to see you in such company. Governor Smith. Over here marches the same army with whom you fought for social justice
