From the Louisville Courier Journal.
During the recent election there were q great many
people on the Republican side OF the ticket who SUI.
ferod both mentally and physically. but probably tho
man in the hardest luck OF all was q patient that
called on Or. Brent Palmer. After the polls had
closed DR.. Palmer was sitting In his once reading tho
afternoon extras" He had Just seen that Mr.,
Weaver was elected beyond = doubt. when an excited
individual rushed into the room. His mouth was
wide open and twisted TO ono side, and he held q
cigarette in his hand which he tried In vain TO
pun, as he could not CLOSE his lips. The stranger
stood In front OF DR.. Palmer and pointing
to his face uttered a number of inarticulate
sounds. DR.. Palmer saw at once that the mans jaw
bone was out of place. He placed the patieut In u
chair and In a few minutes had the bone back in
Its socket. For q short time the man sat IN tie
chair. seemingly In deep meditation. Finally he pu.
his hand up TO his face and looking at Dr. Palmer
said: "sAy. Doc, maybe you want to know how this
happened. Well. III tell you. l was u red-hot Todd
man. and when 1 heard at the Republican h%eadquar-
ters that my man was elected / ran out on the street
and yelled 'Hurrah for TODD us loud Us ! could. but

has been said in favor OF erecting monuments to

OF monster gatherings on the various fields Of

Postal Savings Banks.

It ought not to be necessary to urge over and over again the necessity of postal savings banks. The fact that they have been a benefit to the work ing people in other countries, without at all injuring the private savings banks. has been proved conclusiveIy. The farmers and labor unions are all strongly in favor of postal savings system. The United States ought to have had such system years ago.
 Now that Postmaster General Gary is supporting the movement for postal savings banks, it is to be hoped that the people will get what they want
 Mir James W. Bell. president of the St. Lonis Safe Deposit and Savings Bank, is in favor of postal savings system. lie is one of many officials of private savings institutions who be- lieve that deposit banks at the post offices would help rather than hinder the private institutions.
 All bank business would no doubt receive great impetus by the crea- tion of postal banks. This would come about by the enormous stimulus to habits of thrift that would follow. The postal banks would gather in thousands of depositors whom private banks cannot induce to save. Many of these, in turn, would after a while become patrons of other banks. All business would be helped and injury would be done to no class of industry. St Louis Post Dispatch.

CORPORATE sdREEEs

Itis hardly to ase wondered at that the people -bcth of high and low degrce--arc slowly but surely becoming dissatisfied with some corporations and thier attempts to outwit and rob the people.
 A csse inspoint caleulatedsto cd ucatc the people to wish to e1rtail the actions of corporations has just been given to the public thrQagh the KanSas City Star. 1t appears that the Missouri Pacific railway desiring to get possession of DOT tion of t&e city's land along the levec caused track t0 be laid upon it GOO feet long. deing 'tEe work at night and on Standby so as to prevent injunction proceed. ings being had by the city 10 pre- vent the track being laid.
 Mayor James learning of this fact on Monday morning took prompt action by taking d gang of sixty men in charge of Che street commissioner, tearing mp and dumping ftsnown m embaak- ment. The mayor remained OD the ground and personally super vised the work, givmg the orders to the men, until every tie and rail of the road was torn up and removed.
 The fact that the wailway com pany caused the track to be laid on Sunday is most excellent cvi- dencc that the company knew that it had no right tc the land and as Mayor Jones stated, intend ed Ito steal the city's laad," hop ing by getting possession to retain it knowing that if she mat ter ever got into the courts they could conhnue tho case fropa year to year and perhaps fnall5 get it dismissed.
 It IS such actions on the pars of tho officers of some corporations that tend to bring all corpC- rations into disrcpute with the people and unfortunately as in all similar cases companies whose officials would moi stoop to such methods of public robery, are compelled to share in the censures heaped upon all corporations by the people who see such methods rcsorted to with view to plundcr them. It pays to deal Honestly with the people in the long run at least.

Speaking of municipal owner ship of franchises, thesSt. Louis PostsDispatch says: The idea has been rapidly growing because light and transportationhaye been .so costly. Had corporations been less. grasping, nobody would eyer have thought ,of public plants. ," This Is true. 1t is the unjust ex- actions of corporate monopolies that cause the people to rise in revolt against them and begin to consider propositions looking to conducting such public institutions by the people and for the people. Industrial reforms have always come, or been forced upon the people by and thralgh the greed of the individuals CIT corporations profting by and controlling the old systems. The people are be- oaming weary of being taxed to pay dividends on watered stock and are rapidly getting ready to own and operate their own publie works in all cities.
