POLITICA
PEIRTgCOPE

While Preston Grover, Associated
Press political ace, was so ably dis
cussing the budget in this column
last week, your periscoper ran up
his periscope from a point of van
tage on the Democratic convention
in Juneau and made few observa-
lions. True to tradition, the Demo-
Gratis always do something interest
ing. Most interesting perhaps, is
the fact that Alaska Democrats kick
ed traditions right in the face last
week. 1t is a political adage that
when as many as two Democrats get
together in a given spot there is sure
to be a battle. Some have gone as
far as to say that even one good OLD
roek-ribbed, free silver, damn-the-
tariff Democrat can't get along with
himself politically From this view
point, the Democrats up in Juneau
last week surely did wreck tradi-
tions. They got along admirably
while fooling around with enough
political dynamite to split their par
ty open from Point Barrow to Dixon
Entrance. Again they slapped tradi-
ton by casting their lot with Pres
ident Roosevelt if he chooses to run
for a third term, defying a tradi-
ton which has become virtually
folklore in these Omitted States and
possessions.
Outstanding action, in purely
political sense, was the rather neat
vancouver through which leadership
Of the party in the Territory was
changed. The so-called Juneau ma
chime, which has been accused of
everything through the years albeit
keeping the party alive in those
lean days when It was almost against
the law to be Democrat, was. as the
Firms have 1T about the Russians
completely routed About all there
left of the old machine" is a
roup ofygrand old Democrats who
owed graciously 10 the yictors and
renewed their pledge of unwavering
yaity to their party. The Juneau
convention saw the passing of an
ara in Democratic politics in Alaska.

FATHER MONROE

News of the death Of The Rev.
Father Francis M. Monroe, S. J. who
died January 10 at the Mount
st. Michaels scholasticate in spo-
kane was received with a deep sense
of loss throughout his widespread
circle of friends in the North.
Although the elderly priests S
death was not wholly a surprise, for
he had been IN III health for some
time. his departure brings real and
genuine regret to many heart,
Catholic and Protestant alike. For
Father Monroe was not only Min
lister to his own creed. He was a
friend of all. He was human. His
forty-six years Of service in Alaska,
whether in the rough and roaring
boom towns of the interior during
the days of the gold rush OF
whether he was preaching to a
small knot of devoted followers in
some lonely village, had taught him
all there was to know OF men
souls-and Father Monroe under
steed mems souls as other men
rarely do. He was ever kindly, pa
tent and tolerant. His hand was al
ways ready to lift up the weak and
sustain the strong. He was tower
of comfort to many victim OF mis-
fortune, man and woman alike. All
came to him for advice and help and
were never disappointed.
Father Monroe was born in France
eighty-four years ago. He was or
dained there with Bishop Crimont
the present Bishop of the Alaska
diocese of the Catholic Church. The
two young priests came to the I'm
tied States together and both rose
to be respected and loved parson'
ages of the Northland where later
circumstances placed them.
Father Monroe supervised the
construction of the first hospitals
in Fairbanks and Ketehikan. but
these mateTialistie monuments to his
memory may pass away or be re-
placed. However, there are Other
momentos of Father Monroe that
can never pass away. They are writ
ten into the annals that make vi
the history of the country which ht
served so well. They are unselfish
ness, tolerance and the constant ex
ample of a true follower of Christ.

Ohio Governor
GetsSuggestions
For Negro Jobs

COLUMBUS, O.-(ANP)-A re-
port to Gov. Bricker containing
suggestions for more jobs for Ne
groes will be prepared by a find
ings committee headed by S. Burns
Weston, state NYA administrator,
following an all-day Negro en-
ployment conference in the state
office building called by the gov
ernor and attended by more than
200 state leaders of both races.
Lieut.. Lawrence A. Oxley of the
U. S. Department of Labor had
charge of general arrangements.
Dr.. Howard l.. Bevis, new presi-
dent of Ohio state University, told
the conference there was little dif-
ference today between the prob
lens of both young Negroes and
whites graduating from universi-
ties since both face the difficulty
of finding jobs and getting eStab-
lished
j. Harvey Kerns, secretary divi-
sion of Negro welfare, Cincinnati
Community chest, complained of
lack of opportunity for Negroes to
obtain training in such professions
as medicine and nursing and also
Of discrimination in civil service and
the public utilities.
According to A. M. Chavous OF
Wilberforce, 10000 Negroes are en-
gagged in the building trades in
Ohio but more than 60 percent are
unemployed because of general fear
and distrust Of organized labor and
the low educational status OF COL
ored workers in this field. He sug-
gested a system of apprenticeship
drawing more young men into the
field and a change of attitude by
organized labor.

Friends here, upon learning of.
the mans act, took the news stoi,
cally. They knew the man, and
understood.
The end in suicide, came as dra-
matte as the mans life he led. Out
of Jail on $4,000 bail following
his conviction, Boyd found himself
facing sentence Thursday. Earlier
in the week, he wired a sister ano
a brother in Los Angeles and at
San Francisco, to rush north to
him. Shortly after the arrival by
plane Of the mans relatives, he is
said to have given them sums of
money he had drawn from banks
to be distributed according to his
will. Shortly afterwards, he fired
bullet into his brains.
Boyd was a name that was al
most legendery in the northwest,
and for that matter, wherever high
stake gamblers at cards or dice
were concerned. Thruout the ma
ton, the colorful parsonage that
was Jimmy Boyd, moved silently
and mysteriously. No one knew of
his movements until the news
would travel thru the underworld
grapevine, informing the denizen
that the Great Boyd" was in town
to play the local great Whozzit. The
man carried about on his person
great sums OF money to be placed
in bets.
It was this practice of carrying
such large sums. and his habits OF
going about expensively bedecked
in diamonds that almost cost Boyd
his life several years ago in a stick
up. At the time, his aide, John WI
ley, carrying a large satchel OF
money was killed.
His wife, Mamie Boyd, died sud-
denly a few months ago.
