 Third. By taking interest On de- posits, or on a certain character Of deposits, under the same principle can regulate discount rates.

MT. Hciskell is at the Head of One of the Greatest Factors For
 Good in ArkansaS.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. G.-Gover- nor Geo. w. oDnaghey Monday fore noon announced the appointment O. Mr. J. N. Heiskell, editor of the Arkansas Gazette, as United States senator to fill the unexpired term of Jeff Davis, deceased.
 The appo ntment vas wholly un- expected, as MT. 1!elskel's name had not been mentioned among the many who had been suggested as possible appointees for the sl ort term. Senator Heskell is being, overwhelmed with congratula ions upon the honor that has come to him in recognition of his s gnal service for the state and the party.
 The board of governors of the Chamber of Commerce, of which Senator J. N. HeisAell is member, will nee. with him It luncheon Tues day to tender him tieir congratula- tions.
 The appointment holds until the General Assembly shall elect a man to fill the office. The legislature will elect for the sholt and the long terms. .>
 MT. Heiskell. has never held a po- litical office, and now says that with the election of United States sen- ator by the coming session of the Arkansas leg s!a:urc, he wlll return at once to Little Rock and resume his editorial work.

 Statement by the Governor
 Governor DonagLey. in announcing the appointment of MT. Heiskell, said:
 'Tn making this appointment it was my purpose that it should be absolutely non-political. MT. Heis- kell has never been in politics. and never will be, as he has stated to me on more than one occasion that his conception of the duty of an editor is such as to preclude political af- filiations and obligations, and n ap- pointing him I am not attempting, nor do I expect to create such obll- gation. During my term of office as governor have been treated fair ly by the Gazette, but no more. l ex- pected no more, and shall expect no more in the future.
 ''I was struck with the success of the appointment of Senator Gordon of Mississippi, which was non-politi- cal, and this in large measure 1n- fluenced me in making this appoint ment.
 "Mr. Heiskell is at the head of one of the greatest factors for good ll Arkansas, and I am sure the people will agree with me that he has used this power and all his talents for the development of Arkansas and for the general good. He is one of the states representative men and Will reflect honor on the State in the United States Senate. 1

THE DIRECT VOTE ADVANCE

William Jennings Bryan believes, with a
good many other people, that the progress of the
principle of direct voting will end the present
convention system. A few days ago he said this
to the Union League Clubsof Chicago:
81 believe we have seen the last great national
convention this country will ever see; that be-
fore another presidential election rolls around
we will have the presidential primary in so
many states that our next candidates will be
chosen not by delegates at conventions, but by
the people at home, and the men selected will,
when elected, be the servants of all the people
and not obligated to few men for the honor of
being elected =
One evidence of this advancing principle is
that of the ratification of the constitutional
amendment providing for direct vote Of the peo-
pie for United States senator's

TIE FAIR AND THE FLORAL PARADE

The idea of mechanical, livestock, agricul-
fural and horticultural fair to be held next year
Is an excellent one and Representative George
n. Cooke and the house are to be congratulated
on pushing the bill appropriating $4,000 for the
expenses of the fair. AS the date for the fair is
to be left to the discretion of the commission that
will handle it, a suggestion as to the best time
Is in order The Star Bulletin suggests that the
fair should be held during Floral Parade week.
There are two very good reasons for this. In
the first place. Floral Parade week attracts peo-
ME from all over the territory, excursions are
run ON the InterIsland lines and special rates
can be secured.
In the second place, the one serious complaint
AGAINST Floral Parade week now is that it is not
: week of carnival at all, but only about three
laws Visitors from the mainland come here ex-
necting a longer period of festivity and they GER
tainly have a right to expect a larger number OF

THE GREATER POINT

The harb0r commission lost point before
the merchants association yesterday afternoon
but it established far more vital point. The
point lost was the Endorsement of the commits
sion's plan for a tonnage tax on freight handled
over the territorial wharves; the point estab-
lished was that every member of the association
present was brought to realization Of the ne
cessity for permanent construction work on the
waterfronts of island ports.
The commissions presentation OF the facts
concerning the rapid dsintegration of the wood
en- structures, and its summary of the necessity
of providing for the large commerce of the fu-
ture, were unanswerable. The commission is do
ing very excellent work and the merchants as
sociatiOn will probably back it up in any plan
whereby the expenses of wharf construction and
maintenance will be spread more generally over
the territory instead of being met partly by a
direct tax on freight tonnage.
The harbor commission, it should be said is
not springing any new plan on the community in
proposing the tonnage tax Four months ago,
after consideration then extending over six
months the commission wrote to all the COM
mercial bodies of the territory outlining the plan
and recommending it. According to the COM
missions records, the Honolulu chamber of COM
mefce and the merchants association did not
even acknowledge the letters, not to speak of taxi
ing up a matter of which the commission wrote
AS the suggestion Of your committee is a rad
teal departure from the previous policy of the
territoryrs etc.
The commission can find n other way ade
quately to handle the wharf situation and it cam
not be blamed for feeling that the present yolun1
tary, unofficial and privately handled shippers
wharf tax should not be used asa bar to an Off
tial territorial tax. The shippers tax is splen-
did instance of private generosity and benefit
cenee, but it should not stand as an argument
against territorial financing.
