THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

lt is seldom that the editorial uJ- terances of a newspaper are acted upon before the article itself Is printed. but that was the compli- ment paid The Alaska Citizen dur ing the past week
 On Friday evening We expended great deal of energy writing an editorial regarding the freight situa ton on the Outside and the effect it would have upon Farbauksaus and the Interior and early Saru day morning wire was receiy- ed in the city stating that every ,uurd of freight consigned To Interior points had been forwarded and that the same policy would be carried out during open navigation.
 It is not known at the present writing just how this good fortune came about but il is safe to say that the Interior has some friends at court who are wise to our situa tion and who have gone to the front for us. and it is our humble opini- on that if their name appeared in print It would spell Burnside.
 Whoever it may be, the people of Fairbanks and the Interior ap- preciate the act and extend their thanks.

TO TRIP" THE RE.
 SERVE SYSTEM.

The Guaranty Trust company, of New York, has been canvassing the 25000 banks of the country for their views on the Federal Reserve only about a fifth of them, and of these, 1,S11 are non-committal. The rest are about equally divided for and against.
 What may be the purpose of this 'nGuiry $ of more interest than the exceedingly fragmentary volume of responses coming in. If the re- plies were all unfaVorable, that would signify nothing as to the general business and financial value of the new system. This system was ere ated less in the interest of the banks than for the protection of the whole country against the panic breeding activities of the banks un- der the old system.
 But why at this particular time should there come from great banking institution outside the sys- tenn, closely allied with the most powerful private banking interests of Wall street, so noteworthy an effort to worm out anonymous if nancial sentiment respecting the Federal Reserve System?
 The Republican party in it's plat form has openly declared it's pur- pose to enact a certain amount of ripper legislation if voted back into power next fall. But it is silent about the Federal Reserve System This silence may mean grudging acceptance. But it may also con Ceal a purpose to rip up or 'reor- ganiZe' this greatest constructive piece of financial legislation enacted since the Civil War. at the demand of the old privileged banking inter- ests, as the tariff is to be ripped up for the old privileged protection interests.
 Is this the fact? Are the woods now being shelled with questions to bring out the hidden strength of such a proposition? The country will want to be told before this campaign is over.

PROOF OF THE BUDDING.

Something over a year ago the Iairbanks Commercial club threw its strength into the mail situation and worked every wire il raug1t was live in an effort to get a decent mail serNl ice for the Interior, using the popular slogan of "all the mail all the time" Circular letters were printed and placed at the disposal of the entire letter e1-writing communi- ty asking Outside newspapers and magazines to take up our cause. Taoy responded willingly, and while the efforts of the club were not wholly acceded to, it was plainly notice able that the winter mails moved more smoothly and in greater abun- dance than before the agitation.
 Then the idea of an oyertAa-trai summer service was launched and nothing in the minds of the club board was allowed to slumber. As result of it's last efforts a con tract was let for the carrying Of one first-class mail weekly to and from the coast, and all first class mail from the States ordered routed that way.
 Last Wednesday morning when the mail was delivered in this city it contained letters dated but seven days previously at Seattle, ten days from San Francisco and Chicago, and twelve days from New York, while by the old method from three to four weeks was the usual time. provided everything went lovely.
 This experiment should prove to the postotiice department and no doubt will, that the people of Al aska are not born kickers when they are so persistent in asking for a service which can be given them just as easily, and perhaps less eX- pensiyely which will place them in touch with the markets of the world within a reasona ble length of time.
 The department has earned the gratitude of the people of Interior Alaska by virtue of this experiment and since it has worked out so ad vantageously and has been so emi- nently successful it is not altogether unlikely that the "all the mail all the time" idea will take hold and bear fruit.
