LET CANCELLATION BEGIN AT HOME!

New York dispatches say that a wave of
 enthusiasm for American abandonment of the policy of isolation from European affairs,
 and at least partial cancellation of Europe $ debt to the United States, swept the American
 Bankers Convention following an address by
 Thomas w. Lamont, who was rather con lspiciousy connected with President Wilson $ European adventures.
 This idea of bostering up the credit of Europe by the use of the resources of our own still solvent nation is one that can be tried out locally by bankers, and prehaps it would be well to test it at home before apply ing it abroad There are in every cor.l.
 worthy persons whose credit has in some wise been impaired Undoubtedly this oper- ates detrimentalIy to those whom these people would patronize, if they had the money. The thing for the banks to do is to cancel any notes they may hold against persons unable or unwilling to pay. This will put the benefic- iaries of the scheme on their feet financially and enable them to enter the market as pur- chasers of commodities, thus stimulating pros perity, :7. ..A~~.,. -~,--&
 Philanthropy begins at home. There ism so very much humanitariansm, after all, in pledging the property of other people, es- pecially when the idea is being promoted by persons who, in addition to their altrusm, have more or less at stake financially in the great cause of being liberal with other peo- ple's money. The test of unselfishness is it's manifestation right on ones own counting room. Let the cancellation of debts begin there, and when good faith has been demon strated in that respect by the big takers about national generosity, perhaps the people will feel inclined to follow the example thus nobly set before them.

VACANCIES IN HIGH PLACES

The most important business before the President of the United States at this mo- ment is the selection of two score or more properly quilfied men to sit in the high places of the Government. The President is reticent on the subject, but there is reason to believe that his reserve is not due to embar- rassment because of any lack of available timber. His difficulty lies in making choice from many possibilities and so making 1t as to work out harmonious mosaic in which the factors of fitness, geography, political affiliations and representative character shall blend Here are some of the posts to be filled: : Seven members of the Fact Finding Coal Con- mission, one Assistant Secretary of War, one sistant Secretary of Labor, one Governor General of the Philippines, one Presiding Judge of the Court of Customs Appeal 21 Federal Judges, one Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, one and possibly two mem- bers of the Tariff Commission
 It is formidable list. Formidable in the sense that certain embarrassments are con- nected with making appointments on the eve of Congressional election. When the Ex- ocutive has batch like this on his hands, jn~vitabIy the offices have an unnatural re Iationship one to another. The jobs must be Co"S'd Td as a mass Thus if it becomes in eXpedent to appoint particular man to the Federal judiciary it may be that he can be worked off on the Coal Commission, and so through the list There are many things to be considered and it takes time to prepare the slate.

MINING DEVELOPMENT WILL AID AGRICULTURE
 An exchange has apty said that "Alaskas agricultural development is bound up in its mineral and industrial development. In other words, there be popua- to1 engaged in these other enterprises home market for certain of the Terri tocys products. The building up of the Northland must proceed on broad lines There must be encouragement of mining and industries at the time that are induced to take up homesteads"
 All of which makes wonder whether our great and glorious Government that is doing all things for Alaska, at annual cost of possibly millions of dollars, is not overooking vital point in failure encourage prospecting and mine development in the Territory There many ways by which the pros pecto' might be aided, at little cost to the Government But how many of officials concerned about him and his discoveries ?-Juneau Capital
