AN EXCELLENT NOMINATION
An Eastern contemporary of na
tional reputation has the temerity to
propose the name of Henry !’. Davi
son for the presidency in 1920. Evi
dently he has yet to learn of the
scheme that Is on foot in certain
quarters to emasculate the presiden
tial election two years hence and offer
President Wilson a third term with
out opposition.
Hut we like the idea. Mr. Davison,
if he would consent to make the race,
ought to prove a popular candidate on
i.y ticket, and. if elected, he would
undoubtedly make ;i most excellent
« 11 i♦ •! executive All this notwithstand
ing hi Wall street associations. There
was a clay and that not so long ago
when the mere mention of a presiden
tial candiduto \tuw Wall street would
have '-truck terror to the heart of
tie average citizen. Happily, how
ever. that day has passed. It no longer
stiik* tie- popular fan y to heap
curses and calumnies upon our great
captains of industry The war has
worked a marvelous c hange in this re
spect. Today the average American
looks upon Davison and Schwab and
Ryan and men of their type, not as
scoundrels and public enemies, but as
inn per cent citizens who have the
capacity and the courage to meet a
great national emergency in a manner
becoming the best traditions of the
ureat republic.

MAN’S INGRATITUDE
In ihe current number of The Com
moner Colonel Bryan visibly rejoices
over the flna downfall of his former
friend, ex-' ivernor Ferguson of
Texas. The latter fell from grace
several month i ago and resigned from
office under the threat of impeach
ment. Then he had the audacity to
seidi election again and was decisively
defeated at the recent primaries, his
opponent winning by over 200,000 ma
jority All of which misfortunes and
disgrace Bryan charges to Ferguson’s
con lection with the liquor interests.
I'erhaps so, but there was a day
when the former governor was a power
in Texas politics, and it was then that
the colonel was pleased to call him a
friend. They played the game to
gether, and so long as the Texan was
in position to deliver, no question was
raised as to the source of his tre
mendous power. Then he fell into
evil ways, and finally into open dis
grace, and now his old friend and po
litical beneficiary would hold him up
to scorn and gloat over his ignominy
It may be that the ill-fated Fergu
son deserves nil the disgrace that has
befallen him, but it ill becomes his
former friend, Bryan, to kick him
when he is down. Rather should he
recall the day when he, too, flirted
with shady interests and was glad to
get votes regardless of where they
came from. Also it Is no secret that
Colonel Bryan was in position on sev
eral occasions to write a plank in the
Democratic platform which woulc
have made prohibition the paramount
issue of the campaign. But that wai
when he himself was a candidate, ant
when he desired the presidency more
then he did prohibition.

Capital Stock Increase
WEALTHY MEN, many of whom have
never been in Alaska, have shown
their faith in this wonderful country
by doubling their investments in capital stock
in the BANK OF ALASKA. This means more
than purchasing 100 percent more stock. It
means that every stockholder taking new stock
is doubling his obligation to the depositors,
the same as the present stockholders.
1 ank of
with the increase will have
$170,000 CAPITAL
which is much more than any bank in the
Territory of Alaska.
You should show your faith in the country by stick
ing to Alaska unless you are called to the colors. Start
now in your saving and not only be prepared for all gov
ernment calls but be ready for the great reconstruction
period that will follow victory
Your good judgment in sticking to the country will
be further shown by opening an account with the
