A PANIC SUPPRESSED
WE ARE told that a financial panic that might well have been
the most disastrous in many years was averted only a few
days ago, because Wall Street has discovered that it is:
dealing with a new kind of President.
For years the Government's established policy in the matter
of financial depression has been simple and fatal. Washington
waited until the panic had begun, until confidence and credit
were undermined, and then turned the United States Treasury)
over to Wall Street, while the stock gamblers salvaged what they
coLld from the wreck. The W ilson policy is to suppress the panic
at the start and not at the finish.
With this end in view Secretary McAdoo announced that he
was prepared to issue $500,000,000 in emergency currency un
der the Aldrich-Vreeland act. Wall Street recovered immediately,
from its hysteria and its bankers, with characteristic patriotism,
began to denounce the Secretary for his "absurd offer."
The fact is now pointed out with a wealth of detail that
there is plenty of currency in circulation and that no emergency
currency is necessary, but a week or so ago Wall Street was point
ing out with an equal wealth of detail that one of the disturbing ele
ments in the situation was the necessity that would exist in a!
few weeks for immense sums to move the crops. The truth is that
there was plenty of money all the time, and except for the con
dition of the European money market, there was no reason what
ever for Wall Street's attack of nerves.
Proving it is the most important service that the Treasury
has rendered by its ofTei of emergency currency. Wall Street's
hysteria was rapidly inoculating the entire country, and the Wil
son administration has -topped the nonsense before it became
serious.
THK LAST WORD IN STEAMSHIPS
IT IS claimed that the Imperatur, the "largest ship afloat," which
recently completed her maiden voyage from Hamburg to New
York, adds something more than magnitude to the record of
ocean liners. She augments the luxury of millionaire travel. No
oth.-r feature of her excellences or extravagances has given rise
to more admiration than this. The thirfty German of simple
habits has developed a sea style that makes the aristocratic Bri
ton gasp and the affluent American stare.
It is told that the bright particular stars in the glittering
galaxy of luxuries, which comprise ballrooms, palm courts, Pom
peian baths, and grills and cafes de luxe, are a pair of apartments
called by some "self-contained flats," and by others "Kaiser
suites." Each of these is said to contain accommodations for
ten persons, including servants. They have private dining, as
well as drawing room; also private decks "floored and walled with
green marble, to which one steps from the French windows of
the dining room." It is added that the cost of either of these
suits for a trip during the busy season is $5,000 and $.'>,500 dur
ing the slack season. But why quote figures in matters of this
kind? The poor will continue to walk on land, and never go to
sea in these floating p; latial apartment houses.
ALASKA'S SUMMER CLIMATE
SPEAKING about the weather, who is there, who likes sun
shine and warmth, that can truthfully complain of the quality
of weather that has prevailed in this section for considerably
more than a month past? These June days are beautiful, indeed,
and if the wealthy denizens of the sweltering cities of the East
could but realize that here in Alaska there is a veritable summer
paradise the steamship companies would be swamped with pas
sengers.
Alaska's resources Have been tlie suujeci oi siuiy, uui >?*it
ers, for some reason or other, have devoted but little attention
to our climate, except to condemn it. They have taken it for
granted that nothing could be said in defense of Alaska's climate.
How could they, when icebergs, eternal snows, polar bears and
fur-clad Eskimos are always associated in the minds of the peo
ple of the I'nited States whenever the name of Alaska is men
tioned.
t?o to any Eastern city and meet the people; and if they
should ask you where you live and you say "Alaska," immediate
ly they shudder as if stricken by a sudden icy blast, direct from
the North Pole, and button up their coats. If you should at
tempt to explain to them that Alaska's climate is better than
their own. they gaze upon you with an incredulous stare and
mentally they place you in the Ananias club. The icebergs, the
polar bear, the Eskimo are all visualized, and it is an almost
nope less task to enlighten their cold and dark understanding.
However, much good work has been done in disseminating
real information about Alaska as a summer resort, as the yearly
increasing stream of travel indicates. Some time it will be borne
in on the minds of the benighted Easterners, yes and Westerners,
that Alaska has an ideal summer climate, and that nowadays,
icebergs, totem poles and peltry are no longer its leading attrac-i
tions.

WINDHAM BAY NOTES
WINDHAM BAY. Juno 24.?Mr. and!
Mrs. Yates, Miss Y. Kowe and A. Wav-i
ell were guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. M.
Taylor on a trout fishing trip to
l.oche Marie. The trip was marred by
an accident that might have proved
fatal. In casting Mrs. Taylor fell in
and went under, and but for the timely
assistance of some of her companions
she probably would have drowned.
Before the accident the party was
having good luck. Afterward the
trout refused to bite. In spite of the
accident the trip was thoroughly en
joyed.
The "Luca I'." called for the Gam
bler bay mail last night.
Messrs. Ketchmark and Luffman are
prospecting up at the head of Silva
creek.
