The Polite Bnstnn Girl

man had just come out into the wind

The young man looked helplessly
after it. In the midst of its fight it

dumfounded by the proceeding to utter
a word of thanks. He merely took the

WHAT Is PATERNALISMS
Word as Applied to Postal Savings Banks

Word as Applied to Postal Savings Banks
Teaching Independence.
When opponents of postal savings
banks have no other objection to offer
to the establishment of the system In
the United States they take refuge in
the assertion that it is "paternalistic, F"
assuming that such declaration es.
tablishes their position.
The indefiniteness of the term pa.
ternalism does, indeed, make it difficult
to attack the position of those who
hide behind its protecting shadow. All
government is and must be 10 sense
paternalistic. Therefore the only con-
sistent opponent of paternalism in all
its forms is the anarchist, and it is
notable that among the comments on
The Records postal savings bank bill
by workingmen and trade unionists the
only opposition expressed was by
few men Of avowedly anarchistic no.
tions of government. When the State
undertakes to protect its citizens from
violence and theft 1t is in sense pa.
teralistic. All the things which the
Government undertakes to do for the
benefit of the people might be called
paternalistic. The public schools, the
fire department, the postoffice, are all
paternalistic institutions, yet without
them a people would be lacking in i'm.
portant elements of civilization.
Generally the term paternaiism is
taken to imply offensive activity in
looking out for the supposed interests
of the people and in regulating their
affairs on the part of government
that is outside of and above the peo-
ple In the United States the Govern.
ment is the people, and is engaged in
carrying out their will. The attempt
of free self governing people to use
their government for the fostering of
helpful institutions is corporation, not
paternalism. The value OF the latter
term as catch phrase in opposition to
the postal bank system consists in in.
sinuating into it certain notions of
autocratic rule which have no place
in this country.
Paternalism implies dependence.
The object of the establishment Of
postal savings banks in the United
States is the very reverse of this. The
effect of the system would be to de.
velop self reliance and independence.

Australia. In Canada government
savings banks ante.date the postal

the latter as the more convenient and
suitable institution, In some countries
having the general savings bank as dis.
tinguished from the postal savings
bank use is made Of the postofiices as
places Of deposit for transmission to
the general bank.
AS between the general savings
banks under government control and
the postal savings bank there is no
question that the latter is the one for
adoption in the United States. The
postoffice has in operation machinery
that could be utilized for the protec.
tion Of small savings deposits with
comparatively little additional trouble

TOUGH CHARACTERS.
GENUINE TEXAS DESPERADOES'
UP IN ALASKA.
They Beat Off a Party of Officers Who
Attempt Their Arrest But They
Are Finally Caught.

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. 4.-The
steamer AL XII from Alaska. brings
news of bloody chapter in the car
eer of Slim Birch, the notorious despera-
of Juneau, who while awaiting
transportation to serve a three years
sentence in San Quintien prison, Cali
fornia, was released by a companion,
who visited the Jail, overpowering the
jalier, locking him in a cell, and accom-
panying the esNaped prisoner. No It'd
ings of Birch were received until the
closing of January when Indians
brought news to Juneau that Birch
and his companions were sleeping in a
cabin thirty miles from Juneau on the
island. Deputy Marshal Hale at once
chartered a steamer, and organizing a
posse, started in pursuit. The cabin
was located the following day. Bad
generalship in the charge on the cabin
permitted two of the inmates to escape
to rocky eminece between which and
the cabin the posse was situated. A
ing shot twice, Hale once seriously, and
Boyd, wounded in both legs. The
men succeeded in starting all the pos
Sc excepting poor Watts, on the back
trail from the scene of the fight to
where the boat was anchored. Watts
was left to the mercy of the outlaws
who shot him several times where he
lay half dead, between logs. The
steamer made all haste back to Jun
eau with the wounded men and posse
of 20 men started out, returning next
day.
Watts was found dead, frozen stiff
in the snow where his cowardly COM
panions had left him. Birch was fol-
lowed for two days without success,
but the desperadoes We're finally To-

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

Chicago, Feb. A special to the

'The understanding among senators
at present is that the general arbitra-
ton treaty will not come to a vote at
this session of Congress. No one
doubts that it will be debated, but
the opposition makes no secret of it's
intention to consume so much time
in discussing the question that a vote
cannot be had. 1t will be a very easy
matter to do this, as the business of
the Senate is fast reaching that stage
in which there will be great Strug-
gle for precedence.
Already the friends of the Mica
ragua canal bill. the immigration
bill, the bankruptcy bill and other
measures are fighting for time. In a
short time the regular appropriation
bills will displace almost all other
business. Under such circumstances
it will be a comparatively easy mat
ter to crowd the treaty into the back
ground. The sentiment of the Senate
is generally against an open debate
on the treaty"
