ATFEATHER TITLE
Gets New York Crown, Nears
N. B. A. Peak by Victory
Over BeIIoise.
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Oct 18-Joey Arch
ibald, youngster from Pawtucket. R
l., who never had case of sun
burn from basking too long in the
limelight. probably is the most-sought-
after boxer in the featherweight divi-
sion today
It's all because Henry Armstrong
decided he didn't want to keep the
featherweight crown when he had two
better ones. joey took a large piece
of that title last night when he pound
ed out a decisive and rather unex.
pected 15-round victory over New
York's Mike Belloise at st. Mich
olas Palace. and now he's in a posi-

Mixes only defeat in 13 bouts, earned
him recognition as champion by the
New York State Athletic Commission
The National Boxing Association re-
fused to concur. but Joey figures prom
inently in its plans for picking sue
cessor to Armstrong.
No Title Bout Without Joey.
First the N. B. A. announced 1t
would recognize the winner of match
between Archibald and Leo Kodak OF
Chicago as champion. Then when Joey
decided to fight Belloise it ruled he
would have to take on the winner
of Rodak-Freddie Miller scrap to
earn the title. Anyway, there can't
very well be title fight now without
joey.
Before a packed house of about
5000 last night, Archibald. a terrific
puncher for his size, whaled away
at Belloises body to pile up a big
margin in the first seven rounds.
The crafty Belloise, who held the title
couple of years ago, but renounced
it because of illness, nearly toppled
couple of times He came through,
however, outboxed his rival and tagged
him with some solid blows to the
head
Gains Prominence Here.
From the 18th on Archibald was
in command again, driving Belloise
back and making him clinch. Mike
hung on so hard they both fell to
the floor couple of times in the
last two rounds
Archibald began to win prominence
when he went to Washington after
losing his NeV England featherweight
crown. There he began to pile up
an impressive string of knockouts,
including Ray Ingram, Nicky Jerome,
Harry Gentle, Joe Marciente, Johnny
Mirabella and Johnny Scibelli among
his victims. Then he outpointed Bel
loise in fight that earned him last
nights title shot.

THE PRIMARY LAW

Following Tuesdays primary election, as following every primary since the system was instituted there is a great deal of criticism the major complaint being that only limited number of voters cast ballots the result of the necessity of declaring party aftiation
 It must be admitted that the primary election law the perfect to getting out the voters But the fact that it does puport to be- Too many overlook the point that the primary the instrument of party government. It is substitute for the old convention system aimed at giving every member of a major political party voice in selecting party can- didates It does just that If the party members do not take advantage of it. that the fault of the primary law.
 It is not general election, to which much of the adverse criticism would best apply. It is purely a call to party coors Just the old convention syS- tenn heralded the Democrats or the Republicans, as the might be, to a convention in certain place certain day for the purpose of nominating cand- dates represent the party in the general election the primary calls party voters to the polls in sim lar and every party member is assured voice, something he not always assured in the old con- vention days.
 It is not the primary election laws fault if the voters do take advantage It must be remembered that there great many voters in Alaska as well as in every state in the Union who do not care to be affiliated with any political party; they do their vot ing without regard to party lines and they have the privilege to do it at the general election The primary is for them and matter of fact there is little critic.m Of the primary by those in that large class of independent voters who conversant With it. They know it as the party instrument it is and there fore they take particular interest in it, any more than the general interest they might take in Repub lican or Democratic party convention. Most of the faut-finding with the primary from within the ranks of Democratic and Republican party mem- bers who declare it doesn't bring out the vote But records will show that the primary brings out much larger representation than would any convention and it gives opportunity for any member of those parties to seek public office and to declare themselves party choices
 That and that alone is the purpose of the party primary law If it doesn't bring the vote. is it not barely possible that the fault lies with the party not making its platform sufficiently alluring to th5 voter, rather than the fault of the law?
 Admittedly the primary is not perfection, but SC long the unsavory odors of the old convention days finger in the nostrs of party voters it probably vii remain the best instrument party representative government.

Another Tragedy
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 The death of ten persons in Florida as a result of treatment with so-caled "cancer serum belongs in the category of tragedy which might have been avoided by adequate regulation of drug manufacture
 The Florida is a parallel to the tragedy which cost the lives of 73 persons earlier this year In both instances the victims treated with drugs which had not been properly tested before their sale and prescription.
 The serum for treatment which led to the deaths in Florida had been reported by the Amer- can Medical Association to be medicine of improved value in treating the disease. Obviously however, the serum had not been tested in the manufacturers laboratory for sufficient length of time to determine whether or not it's was dangerous An alternative suppositon is that the serum later had become con- tamnated in some way with the deadly tetanus germ Either cause for the drugs deadlness would have been attended to had there been strict enough supervision of it's manufacture and distribution.
 It is too much to expect for the medical association make exhaustive tests of every preparation made up for sale to physicians laymen. But even if 1t had the time and finances to permit, it would be powerless by itself to prevent the manufacture and sale of dangerous drugs
 The cancer serum tragedy supplies another argu- ment for greater authority to aid the medical pro- fession in protecting the public against deadly mis- takes in drug manufacture.

 Among all the State documents that will tell the story of the critical thirties think that short letter from Roosevelt to Rayburn may as the future views the past be well toward the top of the list.

 He could have registered sourness and soreness, as he has sometimes in the past; he could have de- claimed that the forces of evil had trumphed and that all "out of step but Willie" But instead. in a note that radiated spontaneity which made you know that no ghost writer penned it. he accepted defeat and left the way open to go from here. " And that though plan very close to his heart had been shattered.

And if the letter sets the pitch for the future, as we devouty hope it will the nation will be in for better days And no nation in the whole broad world rises more quickly to cheer the man who knows how to lose.
