^ EXEUNT MR. SMITH
i * ■. -
During the jockeying and maneuvering for the Demo
cratic nomination for President fl number of opportun
ities were offered for the display of statesmanship and
Ihose high qualities which stamp a man and reveal to his
fellows the values of his inner self. ’ -' —'**•
In this respect nearly every man in the field of en
trants gave some evidence of a patriotic purpose and
loyalty to his party regardless of what it may offer him
in position and honors. t ^ .
The exception in this lineup was Mr. Alfred Smith,
heralded messiah of democracy, 100 per cent stateman
and patriotic. He was unequal to subordinate personal
ambitions for altruistic loyalty to the emblem of his party.
iLike Paris sulking in his tent he was content to allow
others to carry the burden of selecting a man who was
satisfactory to the party and who might carry the con
fidence and votes of the masses.
That Franklin D. Roosevelt was not susceptible to
swallowing Tammany along with its sachem is shown in
Mr. Smith’s disinclination to step forth boldly and pledge
his support when a fair test had shown that his party
did not wish him as standard-bearer, but would welcome
his support and influence in marching to success.
From the inception of Mr. Smith’s candidacy for the
Presidency, the Hearst papers, many others and popular
magazine have branded him as a ward politician not pos
sessed of the qualities fitting him for President.
His action in refusing to step into the procession he
could not lead seems to confirm this guage of his fitness.
Chas. E- Taylor of Fairbanks has
been appointed U. S. Commission
er at Fairbanks, succeeding M. R.
Boyd, resigned. The appointment is
a temporary one.

THE PAHISLE OF SCORES
(By a Bleacher fan)
How Sewardites got their’s Mon
day afternoon and how the Dis- j
covereriies won; being a detailed
description of the game in which
the visitors larruped the local team
all over the lot.
* * * *
And it came to pass that on the
Fourth day the disciples of Bush
Paul and Horse Shoe Tambourine
were arrayed in fine uniforms and
were full of ginger, yea, even full
of much steam and pepper. For
they were about to slay the enemy.
Even the hated followers of Tam
bourine, and behold there was a,
goodly bunch in the grand stand.
Yea, and many shekels were wag-!
ered that there would be nothing
to it
Ah lo, it was very well; and the
multitude looked and saw Bush was
on the mound; and they said, “Lo,
this will be duck soup. Even unto
the seventh inning.”
And it came to pass that Tam
bourine was to pitch for the Dis
coveries for a time and that he J
was to be replaced by Ole Ulm of i
the Swedish accent, later.
A Discovererite came to bat and
smote the ball upon the nose for a
bingle, and another Discovererite
came to bat, and fanned, even
missed it a mile; and behold, the
Sewardites next pulled off a double
play—two at a shot—an the side
was out, and there was much joy.
And it was fine business. And be
hold, the locals made no runs and
neither did the Discovererites. And
it looked good. And it came to pass
that Bush came to bat, he was
there with the goods, yea, verily,
with a two-bagger, and he stole
third, and the populace sat up and
took notice. Yea, and said “good
eye Bush ” And it was very good.
And he died at the plate,
j And it was tough luck and in the
next inning after the Discovererites
were better with the stick and
bunched their hits better to bring
in more runs than the locals. And
the enemy made some more runs.
And it came to pass that Bush
jumped on his glove and kicked all
of the boulders off the diamond and
he was very sore. And behold he
took heart. Yea, even had hopes of
getting back his shekels and their
pieces of silver and he said there
will be no more bingles and no more
runs. 'And it was a pipe. It came to
pass the Discovererites smote the:
sphere even some good hard raps
and the Sewardites did not. And
behold Larry was a dead one with
the bat, and likewise Fred was rot
ten, and Don was fierce and sure
shot Bush was the limit, and even
Niel was a frizzle, and Ray was a
frost, and there were other. And
it was very sad. And behold Ole
Ulm gave them the laugh, even a
big broad smile, and the localites
made many swings, and few hits.
And behold Fred got a hit, and Neil
an Ray—but they died on bases an
there were no runs. And behold
again, as the game proceeded the
bases 'were filled and nobody out,
and the people sat up. Look who’s
here. There will be a Garrison fin
ish and many scores, even a whole
flock. And they thought again of
their shekels and their pieces of'
silver. And the next, batter was a
fizzle, and the next a mistake, and
the last a lemmon, and the side was
out with the bases full and there
were no runs.
And it was more luck and it was
even so until the end of the seventh
inning when the stuff was off. And
the Discovererites had a goodly wad
of runs, even a total of 11, and the
Sewardites had seven. And it was
fine dope for the Discovererites. As
the game was seen from the bleach
ers.
Ketchikan theater prices have
been raised to 55 cents because of
the alleged budget balancing tax.
