CERTIFYING FORGED CHECKS.

circular letter warning just sent out by the
National Surety cOmany Of New York calls atten-
ton to the fact that in recent weeks it has been
called upon to pay claims for losses incurred by
banks through the cashing of forged checks that
had been regularly certified before the presenta-
ton OF them for payment In specifying four
OF such cases-the amount involved approaching
$l2,0O0--the company says plainly and bluntly
that the losses were due to gross negligence on
the part of the teller of the bank in certifying the
checks and in this way:
Some of the checks were not drawn on
the customer, in some instances rubber
stamp being used, when in fact the Gus
toner never used rubber stamp and in
each instance check used which was
but an ordinary bank checl-not the form
or color of the check used by the customer
OF the bank. One puzzling feat
ure is how the forger ascertains the names
OF the customers of banks having large
balances and came in one instance within
two of the serial number of the check
We urge that tellers be requested not
to certify any checks of customers without
thorough investigation being first made
continuation of their failure to investi-
gate the correctness of the signature on
checks presented for certfcation will re-
suit in further heavy losses and will ne
cessltate the present rates for forgery bonds
being at least quadrupled
In all these cases the forged signature had
been very adrOltly drawn and the forgery was
well calculated to escape detection even under I'M
suua scrutiny. But the absolute irregularity of
the blanks it would seem, ought to have
caught the eye of the teller at once; and even
if they had been perfectly regular and the sig
nature had aroused no suspicion, what on earth
could the teller have been thinking about in off
clally certifying check presented by a stranger
without first demanding and securing perfectly
satisfactory Identification? The chances are not
one in million that he would have cashed the
check without such identifcation-but the GER
titication made cashing elsewhere comparatively
easy matter and one involving little or no risk
to the forger This latest scheme of bank plum
dering appears to have been deliberately devised
with view to taking on bank s counter
men as important assistants in the proceeding
1t IS not likely, OF course, that negligence of this
sort is by any means common here or elsewhere
these instances must be far-andaway exceptional
But President Joyce of the surety company has
obviously sounded his warning none too quick

ALASKAN AFFAIRS.

Secretary of the Interior Fisher takes an al
together sane and conservative view of those feat
ures OF Alaska affairs which have kept the coun-
try more or less stirred up during the past ten
months. Controller Bay, " he declared at din
ner given i'll his honor at Seattle the other night
on his return from our far-northern possession.
is not the only possible harbor for the Behring
river coal fields and is far from the best harbor
And if any foot of Controller Bay is more yalu
able than another, | do not know it. Were the
critics Of President Taft and the administration to
be believed the interests that last winter secured
some lands in that region from railroad water
front terminals had ''gobbed up' the only pos
s'i'lc water outlet from the prospective mines in
the Behrlng river coal fields had hopeessly shu5
ont those fields from competitive development and
had Played Tie last trump card in the political
game OF !tlnlne Alaska for monopoistic
exploitation Ivy band of reckless and heartless
millionaires Persons who know pointed out at
the time that the lands then secured through
executive aid were not only not among the best
for railroad waterfront terminals but were actual
ly in their opinion, among the worst but the
aSsallants OF the administration shook their heads
sapiently and said "Only part of the scheme
CT robbery. Wait and see' Well the secretary
OF the interior went to Alaska to dig into things
irsthanded and now reports that there has been
nc gobblng that there are just as good water
lroat lands lett and in plenty He announces,
further, that reports as to the extent and char
acter of the coal fields in question have been
grossly exaggerated and may possibly have
been the means of leading persons to invest mon
oy there who would not otherwise have done so
THE department S policy will be, he explained,
'to have the coal fields promptly opened and
dc>rloped but not under unrestricted private
ownership. The leasing plan deserves considera
ton because it has the approval of the president .
If the Alaska affairs scandal mongers hoped to
make anti-Taft campaign capital out of the Con-
troller Bay matter, they have only boomerang

In what manner does the soul ascend
from the body after death?
All we know is that at death the soul
leaves the body and is judged imme-
diately. Whether the soul ascends, de-
sends, or goes forth in any other d.
reotion, is beyond anyone's power to
say. Death is a separation between
the living principle, the soul, and the
body that it inhabited. No one has
seen the soul in or out of the body.
It is a spirit which cannot be seen by
bodily eyes.
