A PANIC PRODUCER.

Secretary of the Treasury Me veagh. says that our currency sys. tenn is a panic.producer. Give it rope enough, he says in effect, and then publicity and a panic becomes inevit- able. Mir. Mcveagh is right, undoubt' edly. He has made an excellent sec retary of the treasury. He brought to the offices a ripe business exper- fence, and he has given much thought to the various notifications of our currency system, which, without doubt is archaic and entirely unsuit- ed to the eyer.increasing needs of the country.
 Such currency reform as we have had has been but a thing of shreds and patches. Instead of being com prehensiye and suited to changing de- mands and conditions 1t has stood still. And the sporadic attempts that have been made to galvanize 1t into something that would meet these de- mands have not met with much sue cess. A country such as the United States should not be forever trem. bling on the brink of a financial pan ic. But that is the exact condition now, and it has been such for more than a generation.
 A currency commission has been studying the question in an exhaus- tive manner, but still its conclusions do not seem to meet the views of a majority of the nations lawmakers. And so the country drifts along in a slipshod, haphazard way, and only the immense productiveness of the nation prevents ever-recurring panic conditions.
 Other nations have been able to solve this question in a practical way "a way that insures monetary stabil- ity not for a day or a year but per manently

FORWARD, THE SLOGAN.

The Democratic party is receiving many warnings from it's friends and those who are more or less in sym pathy with its announced policies. It is a hopeful sign of the trend of the times. Thus William Jennings Fry ans Commoner:
 "The election of 1912 is an epoch making event. When the returns are all tabulated we can see to what ex- tent hey show an increase in the Dem ocratic strength and how far we are indebted to the Republican party for the division of it's ranks. We can al- SO see which of the Republican candi- dates is third and how far behind he is. When the facts are all known. 1t

FOR SECRETARY OF THE
 INTERIOR.

The Empire endorses the sugges- ton that Chas. c. Heifner, of Wash, ington state, would make an ideal Secretary of the Interior in Presi. dent Wilson's cabinet. The reasons are many and obvious:
 Mir Heifner is qualified to fill the position by education. by experience and ability.
 He is a Western man by birth and has had a wide experience in the bus mess affairs of the Western country. For twenty years or more he has been a resident of the Pacific Coast and has a comprehensive knowledge of the needs Of every section. to which he has given much attention, and with whose progress and deyel- opment he has been closely ideuti- fled.
 He is imbued with the Western spirit of progress and would take with him into President Wilson's cab met a first hand knowledge of the many questions with which the de- partment of the interior has to deal.
 Not only does Mir. Heifner know the West. where the public lands of the nation are located. but he knows Alaska, and is weIl-versed in it's af- fairs. His assistance would be in- valuable to President Wilson's admin. istratiou in the solution of those problems which it must face-and solve.
 So far as Alaska is concerned none of the gentlemen who filled the office or Secretary Of the Interior either in President Rooseyelts cabinet or later in President Tafts cabinet. had any personal knowledge of Alaska, and this includes former Secretary Bal. finger. whose information concern ing Alaska and conditions here was not gathered by personal inyestiga. tion
 Mir. Heifner would not be handi. capped in this way. For years he has taken an active. and an intell. gent. interest in Alaska affairs, and has greatly assisted in securing leg islation for Alaska, including the pas sage Of the Alaska Home Rule bill
 Better than any other man in all the country that could be named for the position, does Mir. Helfner know Alaska. He has visited 1t, and stud jed 1t at close range. and his appoint ment. The Empire is assured. would give the profoundest satisfaction to all Alaskans of whatsoever section.
 Mir. Helfner is not only able. He is upright. honest. courageous and progressive. He has executive abil. ity in a marked degree; he has tact and discrimination. and that sense of proportion and breadth of view that are essential in the conduct of an lm- portant office or in the discharge of public duties.

TERRACE IN STONE

A dispatch from Edmonton, Altor- ta, says:
 Trapping and hunting bis game and fishing along the upper reaches of the Peace river district, accom- panied by his young wife, full.blood- ed Indian, acknowledged to be the most beautiful woman of the Cree tribe, and their child, is man who will eventually be peer of the Brit ish nobility. He is known as Trav- CTS and is educated and accom- plished.
 "Trayers is one of those unfortu- mates known in the old country as a younger son." says a pioneer who knows him well. "When 16 years of age his family shipped him off to South Africa, where he served five years in the Mounted Rifles Return. ing to England at the end of his time, the life of his set palled upon him. The years spent in the wild free life of the veldt had awakened the wan derlust in his heart and after a week at home Travers was once more oceanbound, this time for Canada.
 Arriving in Edmonton, he joined the Royal Northwest Mounted Police and was shortly assigned to a post in the north country. Travers proved himself a splendid officer, so valuable that his superlors for a long time overlooked his failing for liquor. But finally he was sent further north, where there is no liquor nor white women.
 There he came almost daily in contact with Indians and breeds; in fact, they were his only companions, and he finally married an Indian girl who according to white traders in the country, is the most beautiful woman in the remote region.
 "Travers afterward took up the life of a trapper but great change had come over the country. In a land where he had once been popu. lar he now found himself looked up- on with disfavor by the newcomers. For months he braved the coldness of these settlers, then packed his word' ly belongings and with his wife and child travelled further into the north country, where creed and color do not matter"

THE PERSEVERANCE FIRE.

The burning Of a portion of the Perseverance Mine plant will in no wise affect the extensive operations planned by the Alaska-Gastineau Company. AS General Mangager Thane says, the old mill was not con sidered a thing of great importance, in itself as it's chief value to his com pany was for testing purposes and to mill the ore from development work, Mir. Thaue adds that the only serious delay that will be caused by the fire will be the building of the experi mental unit which it was intended c do this winter in the old mill build ing.
 It is a matter of qualification 60 all that none of the new machinery was damaged to any extent, and, accord ing to Mir. Thane the plant will be in operation again before the end oi the month.
 Mir. Thane has shown commend able spirit of enterprise coupled with a rare intelligence and a thorough knowledge of conditions in the prose cution of the extensive plans that he has formulated for developing a big mining property. And even a tenn porary disarrangement of his plans so carefully made, has but little sig nifcance in the completion of an un dertaking of this magnitude The people of Juneau realize this and il goes without saying that Mir. Thane has their sympathy and support, He has lived here for years and has the confidence of the people.

ONLY ONE WhE.
 BUT MUCH FIGHTING.

There is supposed to be only one real war going on now. It is the dreary and uninteresting struggle over Trip oli. That causes little fighting and less bloodshed The Italians do not get into the interior of the country they claim 10 have annexed to their Kingdom. The Turks cannot prevent them frcm holding the coast, under cover of their warships Now and then Italian vessels seize a Turkish island in the vicinity Of Asia Minor and the Turks retaliate. as best they can. by making things harder for Ital- ians in Turkey.
 But ,here Is a good deal of hard fighting and no little loss of life going on where there is no formal war, rec ognized by the great powers of the world. Mexico is the nearest instance Of a codntry officially al peace and in fact torn by bloody strife. Cuba is another. though on a small scale Mo rocco is contributing literally to the powder market The Moors fight French troops in the Fez district as fercelv as they do the Spaniards on the Mediterranean coast, and in both cases they gain nothing but the priv nege of killing few hated Christian invaders, at heavy cost to the warriors Of Islam
 China is by no means done with it's more violent troubles. There has been bloody fighting in Tibet lately and the Chinese have a serious task on their hands in suppressing tine revolt Of Moslems in one or two interior prov inces of the empire. and in the Han kow region the efforts of the govern ment to suppress brigandage and en- force law where there is virtual an archy cause fighting which is rot far short Of war.
 Add a small civil war in Paraguay and more or less friction between tine Turkish troops in Arabia and the na- tiyes, and the world certainly affords ample room for missionary work in the interests of universal peace. One big war. with security and reposc everywhere else, might be an exchange beneficial to mankind

 When other people want to snooze And then discuss with all their might The latest things in hats and shoes. They criticize the hobble gown
 That's being worn by Mrs. Jones. And gossip about Mrs Brown,
 And her new hair in piercing tones. They talk of novels that they've read And tell of rumors of divorce: They dish up all their married friends, They couldn't leave out one. of
 course
 They review all that has occurred
 Since last they met and judgment
 passed
 And tell with horror all they've heard About the widows, sod and grass They tell what everyone has had For dinner every day that week There's not a fashion or a fad
 Of which they o'er forget 10 speak They tell what happened long ago And what will happen ages hence. Until it sometimes seems as though They can talk everything but sense.
