GOOD WILL RESULT.

The deliberations of the non partisan territorial convention now being held in this city should result i'll great good to Alaska. The delegates arc Alaskans who live in Alaska and represent the communities of which they are a part.
 The questions which will come under discussion will be matters relating to the welfare of the ter ritOry as d whole. Recommcnda- lions asking for the repeal of any present laws, or the enactment of new oncs,will carry to congress the united sentiment of the pco- pie of Alaska.
 The recommendations of this convention should also serve as a guide to the enthusiastic Square Deal for Alaska League, which is now supposed to be cXerting it's efforts for AlaSka'S welfare.

SAFEGUARD THE DEPoSIToR.


 wrccking cases call for action other than the punishment of the officials of the institutions. if guilty. The necessity of a SyS- lem of government inspection of banks in Alaska has been clear ly shown.
 The failure of the Washington Alaska bank, of Fairbanks, imam cially crippled hundreds of the most industrious and prevalent citizens of that district. \ ma JOrity of the dcpOsitorS were working people who had cntrust- ed their savings of years to the bank. Their savings were swept away through a system of high finance" over which there was nu control other than the moral sense of the bank officials. In this case the still small voicr was drowned by the clink of gold. A similar condition seems to have prevailed in connection with the affairs of the Juneau institution.

The deposits of savings banks, however. upon which only a small rate of interest is paid, are generally withdrawn from the smaller communities and rein vested through the medium of trust companies. The headquar- lerS or these trust companies are always in the financial ccnters. Money sent out of the community through the savings banks is slow to return and help develop the district. The usefulness of the bank to any prosperous cOmInun- fly is beyond valuation.

No state then had a law protecting the
federal emblem from desecration. In the

but they were unheeded. In 1878 Sun

two years later Hiram Barbour Of the

as the national emblem is the creation Of
federal law, il should be protected from
insult and commercial degradation by fed
eral law-that Con has the constitu-
tional right necessary for both the adop-
ton and regulation of ne flags IN
other words, if Congress has the power
to create, IL must have the power to pro-

Two steps forward have been made in
this battle by federal authority. Ten
years ago the commissioner of patents
ruled that neither the national flag nor
the portrait or name of the President or
of any member of his family could be
registered as trade mark. and year
later he extended this protection to the
shield or great seal of the United
States. He held that the introduction
of the national colors in trade mark de-
signs is against the public policy cheap
ening the emblem in the eyes II the peo-
PIE. and taking from its patriotic sig
nificance and sanctity. Three years
ago Congress backed up these I'll inge with
a specific act. And recently the register OF
copyrights has refused official protection
to illustrations tending to cheaper the
national emblems.
