BANKS MUST OBSERVE
CONTEMPLATING LAW
Secretary of Treasury Notifies
Cashiers to Cancel All
Bogus Currency.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 30
The Federal authorities have de-
termined TO enforce the provisions
OF the law requiring officials of ma
tional banks to stamp as counterfeit
currency presented to them for pay
ment. he section of the law reads
as follows:
THAT all United States officers
charged with the receipt or dlsburse-
ment of public moneys, and all on
GERS of national banks. shall stamp
or write In plain letters the word
counterfeit, altered or worthless
upon all fraudulent notes issued in
the form of, and intended to circu-
late as, money which shall be pre-
sented at their place OF business;
and II such officers shall wrongfully
stamp any genuine note of the Unit
ed States or of the national banks
they shall, upon presentation, re-
deem such notes at the face value
thereof"
Ii has been found In many In
stances that officers of national
banks in many parts of the country
have neglected to comply with the
law, thus rendering II possible for
the dishonest holder of the currency
to pass 1t upon tradespeople and
others.
The Secretary of the Treasury
yesterday notified the Federal Off
cials in this city that they will be
required TO enforce the law strictly
in this regard as means OF dlmin-
lshing the evil OF utterlng counter
felt currency.

Y. N. {. A. HAS
AN INNOVATION
First Extension Work In Is
lands Starts In City
Tonight.

Extension work. the first ever un-
dertaken by the Y. NJ. c. AS. of the
Territory, will be begun tonight
under the auspices of the local or
ganization. The first extension work
is a class in bookkeeping at the Jap
anese Y. NJ. c. A., and IL is planned
to develop the system little by little
until educational work of many
kinds is taught in many parts Of
the city.
On the mainland the Y. NJ. C. AS.
carry on extensive schools of this
kind, in many cases holding classes
in commercial studies at large fac.
tories, or night schools in tenement
and middle-class districts. 1t is an
innovation for Honolulu, but one
that Secretary Super of the local AS
sogiation is confident will prove a
success.
The welcome the night school
work has received is an indication
that extension work will become a
big feature of the Honolulu Associ
alton. Secretary Super thinks that
Honolulu is peculiarly fitted for ex-
tension work. inasmuch as the dis
trict inhabited by the poorer classes
is large and the educational facili-
ties for the working people compar-
atively meager.

Omaha's Milk Supply

The milk supply for the city OF
Omaha is not what it should be. Much
bad milk Is sold and many dairies are
not in sanitary condition. The blame
for this state of affairs rests some
where. 1t ought not to be difficult for
the authorities to. locate the trouble
ana apply the remedy.
Last winter when the prevalence Of
typhoid fever in the city was ascribed
to the condition of the water supply a
tremendous hullabaloo was raised.
Experts were sent scurrying hither
and thither to make analytical exam
ination of the water supply, and we
were RECALLED with many detailed ex-
hibits of the presence OF the deadly
germ. Remedies were suggested and
applied and now we hear no more of
the danger in the water, yet typhoid
fever still prevails and now the doc
tors ascribe it's presence to the milk.
While this condition exists we are
being edited by the spectacle OF the
health commissioners of the city and
the dairy inspector quarreling before
the city council, each accusing the
other of representing particular
dairy interest, and neither apparently
accomplishing anything to the end OF
securing a proper milk supply. Nor
does the city council seem inclined to
do what It reasonably might do to bet.
ter conditions.
The citizens of Omaha as such dc
not care who furnishes the milk
What they want to know is that the
milk is healthy, that it comes from
clean dairies and is delivered under
sanitary conditions. If the small
dairy is filthy 1t should be prevented
from peddling it's output. II the bis
dairy is not conducted along proper
lines it should be prevented from dis
pensing its product. The citizens are
entitled to protection from the menace
of impure milk, and must have It, Il
is time for the city council and city
employees to stop playing petty politics
and give the citizens that protection
they are supposed to receive.

Indictment Of the Packers.

A federal grand jury indictment is
very different document from a YER
dict Of guilty, but II is nevertheless a
serious thing. Il is imperative that
the charges preferred against ten Of
the largest meat packers of the coun-
try be sifted to the utmost possibility
Of determining the facts.
These men are charged with com
bining to control the prices of meat,
with conspiracy in restraint Of trade
which is a direct violation of the fed
eral laws. Neither they nor the pub
lie should expect anything short OF the
most exhaustive court Investigations in
the form of trials. They may be utterly
innocent of every charge. II so, they
deserve to be proven innocent by due
process Of law. But they may be guilty
II so, then the law should take its
course.
No one can doubt that these gentle
men will have able counsel to present
their side of the case, SO that they will
scarcely have to say when the verdicts
come in that they did not get fail
hearing. The people may count safely
on this. 1t is also worth while to re-
member that these same gentlemen
have repeatedly assured the public
that they are not to blame for the APP
parently arbitrary rise in the prices Of
some Of our edibles which they seem
to control. The peoples counsel know
what to expect and should be as fully
prepared to meet rebuttal as they are
to prefer charges. 1t is time to know
whether ten men have it in their power
to say what we shall pay for large
part of what we eat, without any ref
erence to the common law of supply
and demand.
If all these charges that have beOr
banded about so long are false, ther
the sooner we find it out the sooner
we may get on the right trail and re

The Maine Election.

The democrats have achieved quite q
local victory in Maine, electing the
governor. two of the four congressman
and possibly the state legislature,
which would mean a United States
senator to succeed Senator Hale.
The campaign was fought out along
local lines entirely and the election,
therefore, is not of national signifi-
canoe, though 1t overlaps the scope OF
state politics in the election OF mem
bers of congress Two factors gov
erned the contest: The democrats had
promised, If successful, to resubmit the
old question of state prohibition, and
faction of republicans made an or
ganized fight on the Hale machine as
the result of disputes over patronage.
Neither of these issues was related to
national politics and this will, in fair
review of the situation, prevent
Names election from being held up
as an example of national influence.
But, of course, the democrats will
disregard this fact; they will hit upon
this outcome as a forerunner of demo
cratic victory at large. That, Of course
need not disturb republican equanim-
ity. What the republicans need to
keep in mind is the fact that they have
few pledges to the people yet unre-
deemed and to redeem them they will
have to return a republican majority
to congress this fall. But il such q
thing as a democratic success shoult
overtake the country in November, II
would not be indicative of the result il

gayety of nations, but it doesn't sell

Why bother about a competitor at
all?
Are you selling your goods or the

Why not sell goods on their merits

Why not advertise your own goods

For the fiscal year ending on June co. 1910,
the beer sales in the United States amount
to III barrels OF thirty -one gallons
each. as compared with 39330.s4S barrels
in 1900. These figures are furnished by
the bureau OF statistics at Washington.
There has been an increase OF 61.2 per cent
in the ten years. Assuming that the popu-
lation of the country Will be found to be
about 93,000000, which is larger estimate
than anybody was making until few
weeks ago, the population has increased
22.6 per cent in the decade. In the same
ten years distilled spirits has increased In
consumption to the extent of 44.9 per cent
And yet in this decade there has been a
large gain in the number of prohibition
states There were only throo- Maine,
Kansas and North Dakota-ln 1900 Half a
dozen--North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi, Tennessee and Oklahoma
have been added to the list in the past
three or four years. Moreover in the de-
cade many other states by local exclusion
acts, have shut out intoxicants, or pre-
tended to do so, from counties and towns.
While only 100000 people resided in dry
territory in 1900, 100000 are there in 1910
How is 1t that while the area OF the
prohibition region is steadily and rapidly
expanding the amount Of malt and distilled
liquors consumed by the people Ii increas:

touch only the liquors on which taxes are

are not included. Nobody except those

Democrats Conceal Their Record.

Thoughtful men must be struck by
the fact that, with all the insidious at
tacks the democrats are making upon
the republican tariff, it has never oc-
Cured to them to say a word in de-
Tense of the last tariff they placed
upon the statute books. Nor has it
ever occurred to the democrats to ad-
nit that whatever else the present
tariff law may not have done, it has
in one year transformed a deficit of
$5S, 100000 into surplus of
SIS, 100000.
What was it the Wilson-Gorman law
did? Everybody who can go back
fourteen years in his memory knows
that 1t paralyzed industry and impov-
erished people, leaving the country in
a miserable condition. That tariff was
imposed upon the people in the Fifty
third congress, the last under the con-
troll of the democratic party, which
also then had the presidency. And that
is the only act Of that congress which
history viii record as at all notable.
On what, then, do the democrats
base their plea for office now2 Ger
tainly not on their past record, for
even they will not allow their spokes.
men to refer to that. Promise-that
is all they have to offer, but what
promise can they make in the face OF
the facts as reflected in the record OF
the Fifty-third congress?
The last fourteen years have been
the most prosperous in the history Of
the country; they have brought pro.
digious development in every channe
of trade and industry. Throughout
that period republicans have had con
troll of the executive and legislative
branches of government The repub
licans will offer their record for fifty
years, but particularly for the las
fourteen, and more particularly fol
the last two, as their reason why the!

voters this fall. All the promises the,
will make will be to keep the faith IL
