1t has M been so very long since il
was a custom in England to hang snug
glers on gibbets aWanged along the
coast, and TO tar their bodies, SO that
they might last a long time and be a
warning to ether culprits. So recently
as 1922 three men thus coated could
have been seen hanging before Dover
castle. This embalming process was
sometimes used on other criminals.
Thus John Painter, who fired the dock
yards at Portsmouth in 1776, was hanged
and then coated with tar. From time
to time the process was repeated and
his body lasted IA years. = Chicago

CRITICISM OF THE RICH.
II Would he Much Better to Correct
Public Evils.

Nothing is so easy as to divert the at
tention of a community like New York
from a real issue to a fictitious one.
Thus, at a moment when some hard
headed concentration on the gas ques-
ton might have resulted in saving for
the people Of New York from $5,000,-
900 to 0,000,0 900 a year on their light
bills, a most excellent clergyman COM
United the ~inadvertence of expressing
TO his congregation his personal disap-
proval of ostentatious display and Law
ish expenditure as about to be exhibited
in a certain fancy dress ball. Where
upon the newspapers Of the town be-
came wildly h~ysterical and Began TO
print unnumbered columns Of rubbish
about this private entertainment. The
irrepressibles of the pulpit seized the
opportunity to launch volumes Of SER
mons upon the ethical md economic as
poets of luxurious expenditure, and the
irrepressibles who had no other outlet
wrote letters to the newspapers or Of
fered themselves up TO the interviewers.
The entire discussion was without
significance or practical bearing. Civili-
zation is a very complex affair. So long
as the laws Of the land are not violated
the rich mans private expenditures are
as strictly n matter to be controlled by
his own taste and Judgment as the ex-
penditures of the poor man. Capital in
this country, in our generation, has
beer eminently and conspicuously de-
voted to economic production, and has
not to any ~appreeiable extent been di-
verted and wasted in wanton luxury.
1t is none of the public's business how
the millionaire monopolist spends his
money. but it is in the highest degree
the public's business how he has gained

have a fair question to ask of the chair

turn into its own pockets and those of
the Dingley family the money which. he
says, ought to GO into the treasury?

On the Sth day of October more than

as an organizer and man of broad cub
ture and common-sense ideas. He is
already at Irvington engaged in organ

of the University has been grouped

of these Will be in charge of pro-

extraordinary dimensions of the class
thus formed has opened the eyes of

by the Cosmopolitan is a limited one

Small Savings.

Postmaster General Gary's plan TO
establish small branch savings banks
in every postoflice, with great CEN
trail deposit bank in Washington, ought
to take hold of the common sense of
the people.
1t settles very simply the trouble
some question: "What shall be done
with my sayings?' Small savings
worry both possessors and public.
The possessors, who haye deposited
their money, distrust banks. Those
who have not deposited it keep awake
oyer their stocking-tip boards or dream
of burglars.
In time of plenty bankers do not
care to receive small savings. Insig-
niticant deposits do not pay for the
bookkeeping they entail.
Moreover, there are large numbers
of people who cannot reach banks.
In time of panic small savings do
not get into the banks. They are
boarded, and the national circulation
of currency becomes anemic.
The proposed postal savings bank
system will be safe enough to draw
forth the most cherished hoard, and
will be right at hand in the most re-
mote districts. The whole credit of
the nation will be hack of it.
Under this plan any man, woman or
child over ten years Of age may I'll out
a slip at any postoffice, pay the post
master the deposit and receive bank
book By application few days be-
forehand, he may withdraw his money
at will. While the deposit is in the
hands Of the government it will draw
a moderate interest.
Thus at small cost the system will
accomplish great benefit to the
people.
1t will be safe-as long as the COY
eminent is safe. Depositors will have
an interest in seeing that the govern
ment is not imperiled. Thus the sys-
tenn will stimulate patriotism.
1t will break up boarding and keep
money in circulation. This has been
proved in England, where the system
began SO years ago.
The chief disadvantage of the meas
ure proposed is its possible effect upon
small savings banks in county seats
everywhere about the country. These
institutions will probably oppose it.
But their weight can hardly balance
the weight of the popular advantages
of the system.
1t is now upon firm basis in Eng
land, France, Austria, Belgium, Swift
erland, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Hunga.

proved striking success.
