The Fiaa ci.ii Situa ion.—To bettei
iDdet'tanci tile piesent financial panic
• n the States perhaps it wouid be well
to review She United States banking
- sen. Banking is similar to any
other busin s-. mo. ey being ustt
where merchandise or most anythin'
| Ise might 1 used. Three ot lout p i
tent interest i- usually paid on depos
' its. Now, to be able to pay this and
! to pay the employees ol the bank, this
| money d p sited must lie increased,
f To do tiiis it is invested in different
| enterprises. loaned on good s-curity,
t etc. — in .short, it is circulating about
j in tlie world. To meet the demand
i of the depositors a certain per c ut oi
tiie deposits are k pt nr. hand in specie
j or legal tender. Usually this amount
( equals about fifteen p> r cent, of the
j deposit' and at any ordinary time
| would be sufficient for the demand.
• But. if. as was recently the c..s3 in
t VV li Street, the inuket is bid and
prices lower, monc. becomes scarce
and tlie people all rush to the bank
to draw their deposits: the money on
hand is not sufficient, and tin bank,
though peifeetly solvent, must close
. it'* doors. Tiirough tfie failure of
this one hank the people lose their
ci i fi -once mother hanks. They with
i r i ti.-eir money and the bankers ar<
n-j ngei able to circulate it about
the world.

In- various opinions as to whether
President Hoo-- v it limy be held to
account for the present financial diffi
culties. In the Satuiday Evening
Pest the various opinions of various
bssiues- men are i xpies-ed, ond from a
few mi them we quote: John Wanit
H.aker of Piiilnd-lphia, is oi the opin
ion that ilie present condition of
taffairs is not a real panic, and that
t.
I nusiness will s-.ju berime normal
| again. O .1 ; eii of equal import- j
::nee anti rank declare tl at President,
' Roosevelt i> not a 11 an ol affairs, is
■ not a business man. And another,
I thinks that the IVs'd.tit may have |
; tie ‘u incautious in his repeated state- I
I mints of his d.termination to continue ,
I his tight agai <t corporate evils when j
the finances of th ■ country were at j
such a crisis. Men interested in the
i Trusts and Loan companies claim that !
j he confidence of the people in the j
banks was lost because of the insur-'
' mee scandals, and for these the Pre -
I dent is to blame.
But we think that roost of the peo- j
i ale of the nation believes that the
j President has taken this firm attitude
i igainst capital and corporate povvei j
or the stogie purpose os protecting I
he rights fo tiie people,and the finan
cial condition is simply a reaction
ifter a period of great piosperity. Ol
' course it is natural to blame the Pres
‘ ident, hut the chief ones who blame
j aim are the dishonest ones who have;
' been •‘hit’’ by his investigations,
j something must ever be sacrificed
i for right.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The Great Oratorio, He niel s
“The Messiah,” to be Given
at Ketchikan, Dec. 30
The Metlnkahtla Choral Societ/ has
linen in existence about thirty years,
and it was lirst brought through tho
labors of Mr. Duncan. Previous to
its regular organization, Mr. Duncan
and his assistants led congregational
singing in church services at Metla
kahtla until the then young men and
women were able to acquire a suftici
nt knowledge of music to form them
selves into a choir. Of the original
members only four or live appear in
the presen organization.
The music used at the time were of
the ordinary church hymns and chants.
Later on anthems were studied and
sung in public worship, until povv the
society has in its library a very full
collection of sacred music such as any
organization of its kind anywhere is
able to study and perform.
In tile early part of this year when
the Metlnkahtla people were arrang
ing for a jubilee celebration in Mr.
Duncan's honor, tlie Choral Society
decided to attempt a p.ibiio perform
ance ol Handel's ‘'The Messiah’’ in
connection with that event. A com
plete set of books on the great ora
torio were at once ordered and re
lcarsal.s were occasionally held. It
i as rather a difficult task to go
’brough the oratorio with the Choral
Society,owing to tho repeated absence
now and then of some oi its members,
especially during tlie summer months
when people scattered and worked foe
t living. Hut Mr. Benj. A. Haldane,
the organist and music teacher, labor
ed patiently until the society was
ready to pn sent tho oratorio on the
•vening of October tlie 2nd, last, at
Metlakahtla.
The society now again plans to give
■a series of public performances of the
oratoiio “The Messiah.” The dates
selected for these concei ts are its fol
lows: Metlakahtla, Friday evening,
December 27 : Suxman, Monday after
noon, I) eeirher 30; Ketchikan, Mon
day evening. Du:emit r 30, an i if the
