BRAVE BOYS.
Ten thousand strong, Hie Tan
ana Valley Democratic Club
marched up file hill of oratory
last night upon the subject of the
ure-emincnce of the Club’s right
to endorse or name the men se
lected for olfiees in Alaska and
marched as bravely down the hill
again with the gory scalps ol
three endorsements clutched in
their nervous lingers.
To be sure, the endorsements
were of "dead ones ’ (men who
had already been appointed and
who nded no endorsement now)
but it showed the strength ol pur
pose of the noble hand of political
warriors who propose to ha\o
their say in the political conduct
of this territory, even if they are
compelled to wait until the oil ices
are tilled before registering their
preferences. J
To our mind, the Tanana \ al
ley Democratic Cluh shows j
strength when, it decides to en- j
dorse candidates lor office, hut
to withhold those endorsements
until after the officeholders are
named. By so acting they can
never go wrong, and discord or
disappointment can never enter j
.the ranks of the Tanana Demo
cratic Club. It is a natural con
clusion that members of the cluh
are not a unit upon any one man s ,
candidacy. There must he more i
than one candidate for every of
fice, and every candidate must
have his friends and followers in
the Democratic Club. To attempt
to endorse any one man would
result in the disagreement of the!
members of the Cluh and disrupt j
the entente curdiale, which now!
sticks out in that cluh like a sore
thumb. By waiting until the of
ficeholder is appointed, the Cluh
can then come lorward wilh a
hearty and spontaneous endorse
ment, and every member of the
Cluh will he aide In say without
fear of contradiction:
“I knew it, all the I ini.'"-Fair

meeting currency require
ments.
Mr. MeAdoo, the new Secretary
of the Treasury, is a business
man, accustomed to dealing in big
financial atlairs and familiar with
the power of credit. He is show
ing his grasp of the situation
throughout the country by taking
sonic very practical steps toward
assisting the banks to meet the
currency demands of the autumn
crop-moving season, which al
ways puts a severe strain oil the
ready cash resources of the coun
try.
The first relief plan is an offer
to add $ 1G,000,000 to the Treas
ury deposits in the national banks
and increasing them from $43,
000,000 to $53,000,000. Instead
of requiring' that the banks shall
secure these deposits by pledge of
government bonds exclusively, in
cluding Philippine, Panama or
socalled “provincial” issues, he
offers to accept approved state,
county and city bonds at 75 per
cent of their face value for 30
per cent of the deposes.
The result, of course, if the
secretary’s offer is accepted, will
be to release for business use at
least $10,000,000 of currency now
lying idle in the Treasury and
sub-treasuries, and also to stim
ulate the market for the new
kinds of bonds which will be ac
cepted as security for deposits.
The Secretary’s offer, however,
is ’Conditioned onHthe reduire^
ment that the banks shall pay
semi-annually one per cent in
terest on the average monthly
balance in the government’s act
ive or checking account as well
as upon deposits which are not
thus drawn upon by the govern
ment’s disbursing officers. This
is a departure from the old plan
of making deposits with the
banks, to be used by them for
any purpose, without recompense
to the government. It remains to
be seen whether the bankers gen
erally will be able to see their
way to paying two per cent per
annum on governmint deposits
for which they have to give spe
cial security, but in :he absence
of currency and banking reform
legislation Secretary McAdoo is
to be commended for doing what
he can to aid the hanks in bridg
ing ove'r the annually recalling
currency and credit difficulties of
the crop-moving season. Ilis
plan appears to be the best pos
sible under the circumstances.

l'nlike Hie Friedmann vaccina
tum for tuberculosis, the vacci
nation for smallpox was generally
recognized by doctors after half a
dozen demonstrations of its ap
parent efficacy. Jenner, who had
aroused the strong opposition of
the leading doctors of his lime,
was thereafter triumphant; he
had hit it right, as the experience
of nearly a century has shown.
The latest proof of the value of
cowpox vaccine is shown in the
last report, of the Director of
Health in Manila, where hundreds
of victims used lo die. The di
rector said: “The control of this
disease (smallpox) which was
achieved in the more settled sec
tions of the Philippines has been
maintained, and in Manila, for in
stance, I here has not been a
death from smallpox since June, j
1909.”
