The President to Bankers.
(NeW York Times)

An old friend of the late M. Poincare testifies that most people admired him at a distance as a statesman, but found him in personal contact cold and unsympathetic That may have been true of the President of the French Republic, but would be grotesque applied to the President of the United States. MT Roosevelt's charm has already grown into legend, and he seems to be able to exert it with large groups well as with individuals. His address to the bankers on Wednesday evening was very model of conciliatory approach and ingratia ing statement. The very fact that he avoided sev- era burning questions made his triumph all the greater The applause was almost universal though it was for the man than for policies, and for the gracious tone of his speech rather than for specific commitments
 Yet in two or three vital matters the President was definite enough He clearly wishes to return banking to the bankers. Federal supervision and a certain degree of regulation must continue but the established and indispensable functions of banking must be restored. Emergency extension of credit, directly indirectly through Government agencies, must gradually give way to justified advances by the great and special institutions of credit MT Roosevelt also makes it clear that he looks forward recovery of business as the main objective of cooperation be- tween the Government and the banks. When manu- lecturers see opportunities for enlarged production with assured profits loans will flow from the banks as needed At the time, the great cost of unemployment relief will steadily lessen so as to remove the fear of still burdensome taxa tion together with the uneasiness caused by too frequent borrowing to meet the demands on the Treasury. Such announced hopes and purposes might well stir the banking community to enthu- siastic approval.
 It may be true that of the expectations hung in advance upon the Presidents talk to the bankers not fully met, yet there can be no doubt that he scored great success. Peculiar significance will be attached to Mir Roosevet's that he is closely watching international financial developments and welcomes every sign that the nations tending toward a stabilization of prices and values" But what particularly inn pressed the bankers, and must gratfy everybody, his friendly attitude. His address victory for temperament and hopeful outlook than for closely reasoned argument. On the whole, it was probably wise for the President to pass by for the time being, doubtful and divisve controversies for the sake of surrounding the whole subject with an atmosphere of sweet reasonabeness and good cheer.
 The country anxiously awaiting "reas- surance" from MT. Roosevelt. He gave it, though not quite in the way expected. It was centered largely in his own personality, which the people still to be radiant with confidence. Giving thus of himself, he furnished reasons for all Amer jeans to take courage, he himself takes it, even when facing formidable difficulties and the heaviest responsibilities.

A SOLEMN RESPONSIBILITY.

The unprecedented vote of confidence in the Administration registered yesterday in the elections throughout the nation which gave the Democratic Party than two-thrds majority in the United States Senate for the first time since just before the Civil War, and also placed Democrats in hun dreds of State and county offices, has thrown a tremendous responsibility on the Democratic Party.
 This trust placed in the Democratic Party should solemnly impress every member of the party elected. When Congress convenes January 3, the newlyelect- ed and reelected members should to Washing ton not flushed eated with the victory unduly stimulated with a of power, but rather humble, thoughtful, informed with clinical attitude towards the complex problems of recovery and reconstruction that face them.
 Regardless of false and exaggerated accusations of distributing relief money in various areas, to get votes the people of the Nation have again shown the magnificent confidence they have in President Roosevelt, his Administration and the Democratic Party.
 The Democratic Party is at the portal of the greatest opportunity for human service that any political party in the history of the world has faced Through the economic recovery of this Nation millions of people in other nations will also benefit
 The vote yesterday was not only expression of hope the part of millions of American citizens, but in a way appeal the placing of sacred trust in those elected to lead the country and people who live in it, to- economic and political security.
 In the interim between yesterdays elections and the converting of Congress everyone elected should soemny mediate on the enormity of his responsibil- ity, and diligently improve his knowledge of every phase of political economy and to Congress enlightened, prepared, with ideas, and spirit of unselfish service, devoted and dedicated to the reconstruction of the economic life of the nation, and the effective leading out of millions from the depression and the misery that it has wraught.
 The Democratic Congress must rise to this un- usual opportunity and with the leadership and

Scientific measurements of wind velocitles by means of well-exposed pressure tube-anemometers. fixed at . height of 70 feet above the ground. show that the wind never blows steadily. It's speeo is made up, of succession of gusts and lulls. Thus the tremendous ve. locities that occur In tropical zones are of momentary duration only. While 1t Is believed that gusts of wind in tornadoes some times attain . speed of over 200 miles an hour. the highest wind ve. locity ever measured scientifically is l6O miles an hour. This has been registered on two occasions at Black river, Jamaica. on Novem. Der l7, 1912, and at the mouth of Columbia river. Washington. on Jan. uary %, 1921. The fastest wind ever recorded in the British Isles was Ill miles an hour during . gale at Scilly on December 6. 1929.

since its beginning, was best expressed by George Washington when he advocated the military academy. He said that what we need Is school from which we can get an educated officer.
 Although discipline is maintained in the class rooms, the academic training Is purely for the education of the cadet The course of instruc- tion is planned so that a graduate will have what corresponds to a bachelor of science degree at the average university
 But more important than the fund of techni- cal and academic information which the cadet has acquired during his four years at West Point is another kind of training which he has re- ceived Soldierly qualities are built upon foundation of character and manliness
 The development of that character is accom- plished through many different channels. As his military and academic education progresses his social and cultural side is not overlooked He has a regular course in gentlemanly conduct and etiquette. His social activities are under in telligent supervision and his opportunities for contact with the officers and their families on the post are frequent. After all, he belongs to the only profession in the world where conduct unbecoming a gentleman is an offense trfable by court-martial. So, "oficer and gentleman" is not just an empty phrase. It Is an Ideal to be lived up to; and at West Point 1t is . nvable reality.
 And to crown the character-buildlng process which this picked body of young Americans un- dergo at the academy Is the system there Of placing responsibility upon the cadet from the day he arrives and teaching him to accept re- sponsibility in an increasing measure throughout his four years
 As the cadets instruction advances he is given more and more opportunities to show his capac- ity for accepting responsibility. He commands at drills and ceremonies instructs cadets of the lower classes and assumes more and more the duties of an officer as the day of his graduation approaches. As an officer he will be entrusted with the control of others. so by the time he has spent four years at the academy he has shown that he can control himself, x,

years at the academy-goes on furlough which lasts until the resumption of classes in Septem- Der. Meanwhile, the new first and third classes move into tents in summer camp, located on the edge of the parade-ground, and overlooking the beautiful Hudson river. And here begins that phase of cadet life which West Pointers always remember as most ideal
 Drill and play are in order; with no studies to interrupt the latter. Drill, held only in the fore noon, signifies more than the mere forming of ranks and execution of evolutions on the parade This drill means learning how various weapons and arms, studied theoretically during the win ter, behave in practice, out in the open and on the road The cadet will spend his mornings In pursuits always varied. always interesting.
 He will learn to adjust a Mcclellan saddle on horses of odd shapes and dispositions. He will do scouting, trotting alone down country lane; he will ride through villages, whose alleys and rooftops hide imaginary snipers Or he will con- trol team of wheel horses: behind him and on both sides, will roll guns and caissons. He will be cannoneer, helping in the swift process of unlimbering and going into action. He will lay miles of wire across creeks, under roads, through underbrush, so that military units may feel and speak to each other.
 Or, perhaps, in the quiet of camoufaged ob- servation post, he will turn the crosshairs of a telescope upon an enemy target and by science, will compute the data necessary to bring down artillery fire Then again, he will be transported to an army flying field, where he will learn to follow maps and spot targets from great alti- tude.
 During the last week of August, the entire corps takes the field in grand final maneuver. Under conditions approximating as nearly as pos sible those of war. cadets learn how various arms coordinate in battle: they begin to under stand the difficulties of feeding and supplying large bodies of troops. If it rains if their feet grow cold and wet and blistered, so much the better,efor they learn the limits of human endur- ance, and will know what demands can be made of men in war.
 Although West Point has as It's primary object the training of young men to be officers In the United States army, 1t gives an academic educa- ton as we'll as the fundamentals of military training. Its purpose, which has been followed

ARMY AIR FLEET
 TO VISIT FAIRBANKS

That Alaska Delegate Di. mond's efforts to secure mili- tary defense flor A lask a through establishment of an air base near Fairbanks is already bearing fruit, is indicated by reports from Washington that ten huge military bombing planes flown by army flyers will leave this month on flight to Alaska.
 The planes will proceed as far north as Fairbanks and will visit Juneau on their return south if landing accommodations are provided, the reports said.
 Plans have been announced for a flight of naval patrol planes to the Aleutian Islands during the middle of July in connection with a naval survey of the far4flung island group.
 Although Delegate Dimond's bill for an air base in the inter- for failed to emerge from con- mittee, reports from the nation al capital hint of possible de- velopment of Alaska as an aerial outpost of the United States. A visit now being made to the Territory by Sec- retary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper, nominal head of civilian aviation, ,and the announced in- tention to send six V-class suh- marines and three atten lirg surface vessels to Alaska this month are pointed to az indi- cating increased governmental in Alaska in a military way.

DUNWELL MINE IS NOW
 IMPORTANT PRODUCER

With concentrate shipments going forward steadily, the b. cal Dunwell mine is fast taking rank as one of the important gold and silver producers of British columbia.
 Recently announced product ion figures disclose that the mine has p12duced in present and previous operations ever 7500 ounces of gold, in addi- tion to more than 100000 ounces of silver, 1000 tons of lead, 400 tons of zinc, and 6 tons of copper.
 This is a splendid record for a mine which net so long agi) was looked upon as a failure and closed down.
 The success now being achieved appears to fully war rant the view of mining men that the earlier failure was net due to absence '3f inherent min eral wealth but to failure t2 perceive the ore production possibilities, as evidenced by the installation of a reduction mill of far greater capacity than was warranted by the size of the ore bodies.
 Certes it is that with a much smaller mill in operation the mine presents every indication of assuming an imp portant place on the list of British Columbia mines.

Slim Williams Does Splendid
 Work for Alaska Highway

After having been in Wash ington since December, Sim Williams has pulled up stakes and gcne by auto to Chicago to spend the summer a. the fair. A great favorite with President and Mrs. Roosevelt and their daughter, Mrs. Dall, Slim has worked hard in behalf of the International highway all the time he was here, say. report from Lha office 5f Alaska Delegate A. J. Dimond.
 While in the East he had many chances to capitalize ,9n his dog team trip from Copper Center b Washington but he consistently refused to do So.
 He said he made the trip only to help .he highway and he be- lieVed his eff3r,s il that direc- tion would be hampered if ha turned "pfoteasionaI'. He pre- ferIed a lean p5cketbook to the money that was aWai Ing him oa all sides, but this summer he is hopeful cf picking up at least enough money to pay his expenses. In the minds of those in the States who have watched Sims activities there is no doubt whatsoever bue that il would have tutkgn a sizaabIe advertising budget t3 direct a. much favorable attention to the Territory as Slim has done without any recompense at all.
