POSTAL SAVING BANK.

In the Office of the superintend-
ont OF money-order system of the
general postot!icc mt Washington is
evidence which will convince the
most sceptical that there exists,
especially in the west, n de-
mand for government institution
where tho savings of the people
mny be deposited.
The money order system WAS es-
tablished for tho accommodation
OF the people those who do not
enjoy bank accounts and cannot
forward money by checks. While
the object of the system was pure
ly TO facilitate the transaction of
business by offering Mt small cost
the medium for transmitting mon
ey, experience has demonstrated
TINT il is not infrequenily used to
guard tho savings Of those who nrc
not within easy reach OF banks. or
fear TO trust their hnrd-carned dol
lars in the keeping Of banks.
Money orders nrc often obtained
by persons who have few dollars
10 lay away. This is made evident
by the operations OF the law, which
declares n money order void when
not presented for paymcn: within
Que year. Whom u money order is
retained by tho paycc beyond that
period II can only bc renewed by
the superintendent Of the system
in Washington, and the number OF
eases where money orders have
been retained for one, two, three
md oven moro years is surprising.
The records show that in most in
stances whcrc money orders nrc

period tho order WAS purchased by

than tcpovitins his money where

mitted to the waste basket without

all the language at his command, he
has condemned the practice of accepting

he became a member OF tho legislature
he had moro passes Mt his command
than any other member who was over
sent from this county"
This letter should have been
signed SNAKE in the Grass" for
such is the author known to be.
The man who would send such
letter through TIE mail, without
signing his name, or specifying the
names Of the parties who have
been promised the position of de-

perintendent of the system, and
void duplicates are replaced BY
warrants upon fund created BY
uncalled-for money which has 10
cumulated since the system has
been in operation. Hundreds Of
cases could be given where farmers,
miners, mechanics and other per-
sons have used the money-ortler
system for savings bank, among
the most striking being the case OF
n miner at Leadville, COL, who
purchased an order for $4,000,
payable to himself, and permitted
the money to remain on deposlt
for five years. For the sake of the
security afforded by deposlting the
money with the government he
was not only willing to forego the
interest which he would have re-
ceived had the money been placed
in savings bank or otherwise in-
vested, but he paid the commission
demanded by the government for
issuing the order.
The use of the money-order sys-
tenn as savings bank is resorted
to as frequently today as at any
time in the past. The mails bring
to the postotiice department daily
numerous VOID orders to be re-
newed, and the officials who have
the renewal of the orders III charge

ing used in the place of savings
