DIFFERS WITH ORATOR.

JUNEAU, May 31.-To the Editor of the Empire.-Whether Judge Gun nison was moved by a surplus Of sentiment or was somewhat mixed in his mind regarding historical facts when he was talking to the children at the memorial exercises in Elks' Hall. we are unable to say.
 However for the sake of the truth in the case, l beg leave to differ with the 1916 Memorial Day Orator" in this particular:
 The statement was made and the claim set forth that the men who went from the North Co engage in the Civil War. did SO to set the black people of the South free; that slavery was the cause of the war.
 As matter Of fact the incident that precipitated the war was the firing on the flag at Fort Sumpter; but the cause of the war was the determination of the North to pre- serve the Union. The Southern States had withdrawn from tho Un- ion and established their own gov ernment with headquarters at Mont gomery, Ala.
 When the "call 10 arms" was is- sued from Washington. the domin- ant note In the document was the necessity Of preserving the Union. Later when the question of freeing the slaves as a war measure arose, large number of the Northern sol diers threatened to lay down their guns. for the reason that they did not come down south to fight for the freedom of the "Niggers."
 In President Lincoln's famous Get tysburg speech made something Ike year after the historic battle of the same name. he said in effect that the issue before the nation was whether the Union should be pre- served and government of the people for the people and by the peo- pie should be maintained on earth.
 That the question of emancipating the slaves ultimately became an is- sue in the war, we readily concede; but that does not alter the fact that the fundamental reason for the Civ Il War was the necessity of breaking down the Southern Confectionery and thereby preserving the Union.
 Respectfully,

eosrAL BANK WILL NOW RECEIVE
 LARGER DEPOSITS

Larger postal deposits will now be accepted at the post office. This is made possible by an important ann endment to the Postal Savings Act just approved by President Wilson. A postal savings depositor may now have an account amounting to $1.000 upon which interest will be paid Formerly $500 was the maximum am cunt he could havo to his credit This enlargement Of postal savings facilities will be very gratifying to thousands of depositors who have al- ready reached the $500 limit and are anxious to entrust more of their saw ngs to Uncle Sam.
 Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrass- ment to the public and to postal ofIi- cials is the doing away with the limit on tho amount that could be accepted from depositor monthly Under the old law only S10 ocould be deposted in calendar month The amend ment abolishes this restriction.
 While the Postal Savings System has already proved a signal success as is shown by the fact that more than half.a-milion deposltors have al- ready over eighty million dollars standing to their credit. stlll 1t has fallen short of meeting the full de- mands of the public because of the restrictions which have now been eliminated. Postmaste General Bur leson and Third Assistant Postmaster General Dockery have been tireless in their efforts to secure modi- fcation of the limitations and the new liberalizlng legislation is partic. ularly gratifying to them.
