The Postal Savings bank campaign goes
on apace in the western newspapers, but
its advocates in Congress who before they
can expect to get any consideration for

ing plan are face to face with some serious
difficulties, the chief one of which is how
to invest the money that will accumulate
in the postal banks A solution of this
problem is vital. for of course people will
not continue to deposit money unless in
terest is given upon it, and interest can.
not be given unless it can be invested in
something that will furnish it. In coun-
tries with very large national debts this
problem is easily solved, because there
are plenty of government bonds for the
banks to buy, but here where the
debt is not large and the policy of the
people is to gradually extinguish, in
stead to- perpetuate it, as is the policy
Of many foreign countries, no solution
can be looked for in this direction. So
far no plan of investment has been pro-
posed that gives promise of providing in
vestments in sufficient amount and of
sufficient security to meet the case. To
undertake to use misce Ilaneous securities,
as the private savings banks do, would
place upon government officers tremen-

When Oklahoma was first created ter
ritory residence of only ninety days was
required of an applicant for divorce and
the other conditions of a decree were
made correspondingly easy. Congress
found it necessary to step in and SUPER
sede some of the local provisions, pro-
longing the time of residence among other
matters, in the interest of good morals,
yet despite all of this, recent revelations
prove beyond doubt that the old divorce
mills have been brazenly running, in
utter disregard of congressional safe
guards, to the profit of shysters and the
future sorrow Of many victims.

a contemporary wisely observes that
Colonel Charles Page Bryan's hearing
has recently become SO badly affected that
it is now absolutely impossible to make
himaunderstand what something equally
good means. This is no doubt true aud
it might be added that his eyes are being
put to a severe strain in psering from the
diplomatic West to the more remote East
Just where he will finally land no one
seems to be able to guess.
