sociation is better, provided the depositor
can continue through the life of a series.
In the East the savings bank is better than
the postal scheme. Still, there are thou
sands who VIII begin by purchasing pos
tai savings stamp for cents and in a short
time become regular depositors who would
otherwise spend the money for triles. In
time, young people who now do not think
OF saving a nickel or dime will acquire
the habit of saving, which with some be-
comes almost a passion.
There can be no good reason given why
Congress should not pass a postal savings
bank law such as is now being agitated.
Indeed, such a measure can be urged on
the ground that it will give additional Sc
curity to our institutions, since the person
who has a few dollars of savings has
additional interest in law and order.

At the convention of scientists in session
last week in Detroit President Coburn, of
the section upon economic science, advo-
Gated the adoption of a universal language
which could be used by all nations in their
dealings with each other. Personally, he
favored English as the most desirable
tongue, but was willing to leave it to a
conference of representatives of leading ma
tons. Evidently, there is no intention to
revive Volapuk, the jargon which was de-
vised a few years ago to serve as a uni
versal medium of communication and
whose adoption could not be forced even
upon the people most in need of it. 1t was
proved by this experiment that, though a
language may be invented, simple in form
and construction, getting it into use is an
other and very different matter. A Ian
guage does not come into sudden and COM
plete existence. 1t is a thing of slow
growth, of gradual Development it is a
thing of idioms, colloquialisms and con-
slant changes; it has an element of life
which no deliberately constructed vocab-
ulary can have. To adopt "Volapuk" is
impossible, but to accept one of the living
languages as the means of communication
between scientists, scholars, diplomats and
commercial men of all nations may easily
be feasible. Latin has long done service in
this way in the ecclesiastical circles of E1u-
rope, and also as the technical vocabulary
of medicine law and other professions.
French is the accepted language of diplo-
macy and English has made it's way in
all lands where Britons and Americans
have penetrated fer purposes of commerce
"a worldwide territory. Latin cannot be
adapted to modern needs; because of the
home-staying habit of the French people
their language spreads but slowly: Eng
lish, on the other hand, is coming into such
general use that the traveller who knows
no other tongue finds few places in what
ever country where there are no English
speaking people. Left to it's natural and
inevitable growth, English seems likely. in
the course of time, to be the leading speech
in civilized countries. An acquaintance
with 1t is even now considered essential
to the equipment of intelligent Europeans
If scientists formally adopt a tongue for
their own international use they will I'M
doubtedly find English the most available
and by the action will so much hasten the
day when it will in fact be universal.

A POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

Chicago paper is pushing bill to es-
tablish & postal savings bank system in a
manner which might lead many to believe
that the idea was it's own discovery. Such
is not the case. Several postmasters gen.
eral notably Mr.. Wanamaker, urged the
passage of a bill similar to that recon-
mended by the Chicago paper. The postal
savings bank, it is proposed, shall be under
tie control of the postmaster general, who
shall establish at Washington d central
bank and shall name such money order of
fees as he deems necessary as places of
deposit of sums not less than one dollar or
multiple of a dollar, the aggregate of
which, in any one year, shall not exceed
$500. Postal savings stamps of 5 cents,
which shall be aft <ed to cards, shall be
Sold which shall be redeemed in sums of
one dollar Wives and minors who deposit
shall have control of their deposits The
interest on deposits shall be at the rate of
. per cent. per ennum. The money so de-
posted shall be invested in United States,
State and approved municipal bonds OF
cities having 10000 population and over;
county bonds of counties of 10000 popula-
ton or over may be purchased. In every
case. however, the United States is re-
sponsble for the deposits Deposits shall
be repaid on the demand of the depositors
under rules adopted by the postmaster
general.

Many of them start out with theory of
their own, and all their investigation is de-
voted to finding reasons TO sustain it. The
real sociologist should be an economist, so
that he can see the saloon or any other
institution from that economic point of view
which always has the housing and feeding
OF those for whom they speak as of first
Importance. 1t would not be amiss If the
sociologist should be enough of moralist
to note the effect of institutions upon the
moral status of the people who come under
their influence
The chief objection to the article is that
the writer does those for whom he claims
to speak great injustice when he assumes
that, more than other people those who
are called workingmen are general frequen-
tiers of the saloon. There is reason to be-
lieve that no larger a proportion of men
who labor from day to day spend their lei
sure hours about saloons than do men in
other employments. But small proper
ton of mankind desires the social features
of the club. The home and the social rela-
tions of neighborhoods, as represented by
families, absorb the leisure of much the
larger part of men in every vocation. The
difficulty is that the sociologist selects some
congested locality in large cities, where all
the conditions are abnormal for his inves-
legations, and assumes that the people who
live there are all workingmen, and that all
workingmen are under similarly harsh con-
ditions. If such men were intelligent inves-
tigators they would not fall into such grave
mistakes. A considerable portion of those
who live in the congested districts of cities
are not workingmen, but loafers, while the
mass of men who do the manual labor of
the country do not live in slums and are
vastly different people. So long as the
professional sociologist makes such mis-
takes and arrives at such conclusions as
many of them do he will not be taken Sc
