DOING REMARKABLE WORK

DR.. Sheldon Jackson, Uunted States general
agent of education in Alaska, is attracting the
attention of the world by the progress he has
made in his work The educational standing
of the frigid territory was practically nil when
Dr. Jackson took up his work there in 1885.
The population was naturally scattered, and
communication was difficult. There was seem,
ingly no demand for education so far as the
major portion of the populace was concerned
and the trip of the intendant teacher to the field
of his labors meant n long journey among the
icebergs by boat and then cross-country move
ment by dos train. Consequently the demand
for positions as teachers in that country was
modest.
But DR.. Jackson is nothing IL not an enthu-

BRYAN'S PLAN.

Mr. Bryan has made full an I'm
structive e,ucidation Of What may be
called a minor Democratic sugges-
ton OF reform in thu way making
bank deposits more secure. His owa
statistics showing 100000 L.
positors. 100000 bank drcctors
AMI 10000 banks, tend to Justify
the term minor" when uch vital
though correlated issu as the tar
if and the trusts are considere |.
Still, sensible qualifications must
be made, for banking conditions cx-
hibited but few months ago th.ir
control of the entire situation.
Mr.. Bryan's analysis of the mere
platform declaration for leg sla-
ton" is exhaustive and generally
persuasive. Mr.. Taft has sought
to anticipate a speech by asserting
that the scheme provides pr midm
for reckless banking to be finance 4
by honest bankers. Mr.. Bryan an
swers this purely parroty objection
for it has long ben current, by
arguing that associated banks would
watch each others methods more
vigilantly, that the criminal laws
against banking offenses would still
operate, that all the listrust that
sends saving abroad or into hiding,
that refusal to restore reserve funds
during panics, and other known
phases of Insecurity, real or imagln-
ed, would vanish.
The greatest OF the New York Il
nan cial journa s admits the funJa
mental soundness of the plan. yet
objects to the vagueness of the Den
yer plank. But the whole idea pro
ceeds upon Legislation" which must
be definite AMI framed to obviate
all possible error. The scheme
furthermore involves the dominant
requisite that no unsound bank NJ
shall be done to enable anybody to
reap Mr.. Taft's visionary premium

otherwise remains for CAIN examin.

Ere the De nocrats to be given a
repetition of the registration OF re-
construction days when registrars
arbitrarily registered whom they
pleased? Such is the instruction
from Swisher headquart ers. Under
the first registration law in this
state the abuses were so bad that
when the honest Republicans of the
stat" overthrow the machine and
elected a reform administration the
constitutional convention of 1872
wrote into the constitution the
strongest prohibition against Il
registration Jaw. When the vot-
ers of West Virginia adopted a con-
stitutional amendment providing
or a registrat on law they had in
contemplation a law for the honest
expression of the will of the voters
and not a scheme to steal elections.
There were too many elections stol-
en- under the old system; the PEG pie
wanted an honest law honestly en-
forced.
