BOY SCOUT ANNIVERSARY
This month, February, the 18th anniversary of the
establishment of the Boy Scouts of America was celebrat
ed by Scouts and their friends throughout the country,
climaxed by an address over the radio by their National
President, Walter W. Head of Omaha, and the repetition
of the Scout oath and law by hundreds of thousands of
Scouts in unison. Every Scout within reach of a receiv
ing set had the opportunity of joining in this ceremony.
It is difficult to estimate or appreciate the tremend
ous influence of the Boy Scout movement, not only in
America, but throughout the world. At the last com
pilation of statistics in 1927 there were 811,931 Scouts
and officers in the United States alone, while the organi
zaton fyis spread to nearly every civilized country. Next
to the United States, the greatest number of Scouts are
found in England and in the countries of the British Com
monwealth.
The Boy Scout movement as we know it was organiz
ed by Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Baden-Powell of
England in 1908 and by Daniel Carter Beard and others
in the United States in 1910, although similar* organiza
tions had existed in this country before that time.
The Boy Scout movement is civilization’s answer to
“the boy problem.”
RELATIVE PRECAUTIONS
Lindbergh didn't even carry a parachute on his re
cent air tour of Central and South America. Many a fel
low, other than Lindbergh wouldn't even have started on
the ground without an umpralla.
Mayor Thompson's ‘war" with England is the only
world skirmish, imaginary or real, the end of which can
be predicted with absolute certainty. It will not last
longer than Mayor Thompson’s retirement from politics.
Another great heritage of democracy is brought to
light when we remember that Americans can call their
ruler “Cal", and Italians never dare speak of theirs as
“Ben."
Books on how to succeed would enable one to succeed
to the extent of saving their value if they didn’t cost any
thing.
Politics would be a happier game if so many things
didn't happen between the hats in the ring and the ballots
in the box.

Divisional ticket that has been filed j s
| are: Allein Shattuck, Juneau; Nels j g
Anderson, Douglas; A. H. Zeigler, and 11
Joel Ream, both of Ketchikan, for the , |
four nominations for Representatives. |
ALL WELL KNOWN
All five of the candidates are widely
known in the Division. Mr. Walker
was his party’s candidate for Senator
in the 1924 election, losing to Forrest
J. Hunt, Ketchikan, by a margin. The
latter Is again a candidate for the Re
publican nomination, opposed by Rep
resentative Charles Benjamin ofc
Wrangell, and may again be Mr. Walk
er’s opponent.
Mr. Shattuck, who has been engag
ed in the realty and insurance busi
ness for many years, was a can
didate for Senator in 1926 and receiv
ed one of the largest votes Juneau
ever cast for any candidate for that
office despite the fact that he was op
posed by two candidates in the general
election.
Mr. Zeigler, one of the leading at
torneys of Ketchikan, formerly resid
ing in Juneau. He is ranked as on^
of the leading .members of the bar in
I the First Division. Mr. Ream has sub
| stantial property interests in Ketchi
' kan.
MIXUP ON DELEGATES
Faced with a mixup over the dele
gates to the party’s National conven
i tion which threatened to deprive the
Territorial organization of half of its
delegation, leaders had t(/ move fast
! to prevent that outcome. Filings of
candidates residing in the Second,
| Third and Fourth Divisions, when tak
en to the office of the Secretary of
Alaska, were found not to be in the
form prescribed by the Territory.
Consequently, they were turned down
by the Secretary.
Several weeks ago, Attorney Gen
eral Rustgard ruled that declarations j
of candidacy for party offices must be
certified before a competent officer.
The declarations of Thomas Gaffney,
Nome; Thomas Devane, Ruby; and A.

R. Campbell, Seward, for alternates,
were not certified. Under _the ruling
of the Attorney General, the office of
the Secretary could do nothing but
turn them down.
Manifestly, there was no way of
remedying the defect in time to file
the declarations before the filing per
iod expired at the close of business.
The certification required could only
be done by the candidates in person
before a notary, or other authorized
officer. This precluded correcting the
defective declarations by telegraph or
by power of attorney.
In order to meet the emergency,
three more Juneau men were induced
to file for delegates. To take the
place of those whose declarations had
been declared invalid, H. J. Turner,
Allen Shattuck and J. F. McDonald
filed declarations. This makes six Jun
eau Democrats who are candidates
for delegates to the Houston conven

This does not mean, however, that
xe other Divisions will not have rep
Bsentation. “This was the only meth
d to meet the emergency that had
risen,” declared J. J. Connors. “It
as vital to the party in the Territory
lat to have six candidates for the
Bats to which it is entitled in the
National convention. Amd the onl^
ay we could get them under the'cir
umstances was to have Juneau
emocrats file in place of those whose
eclarations were rejected. The, lat

lat each Division will have the repre
entation authorized by the recent
erritorial Convention at Seward.”
