Cnce again Dr. Deboe. OF Kentucky. has
stepped into DR.. Hunters shoes. He may
not DO the best choice the state could
have made for the once OF United Sta.es
senator. but If loyalty to his party and
friends were the criterion of his merit he
Is entitled TO the reward he has received
the nomination, but is no further for
ward than DR.. Hunter was. The two votes
he still lacks may be the cause of his
withdrawal after . certain number Of
ballots. Last year. when DR.. Hunter
failed tossecure the honor. DR.. Debos was
pracuca1ly IN line for the nomination. but
In the interest OF party harmony he stood
aside in favor Of 81. John Boyle.
DIR. Hunter IL now out of the race but
he is q potent factor In state politics. and
has the power to defeat any nominee TO
whom he objects. He seems at present
to be able to prevent the nomination OF
Gov. Bradley. in spite OF all that gentle
mans official patronage and his personal
popularity. and no has expressed his de-
termination not to permit the election OF
any OF Gov. Brsdley's friends. State SEN
ator Deboe has been q faithful supporter
of Hunter. He belongs TO Western Ken
lucky. which considers itself entitled TO
the seat. and he has retained the esteem
OF many Republicans who are not es-
reciaily attached to Hunters following.
The failure OF Deboe to secure election
Is attributed to the influence OF Gov. Brad

his support to several candidates IN

British Postal Savings bank system - Q
good one. but even that could be Inn
proved upon. some years ago the postage
plan was suggested. and II has many ex-
ceIient features Briefly stated. II would
place q bank OF absolute security In every
village where there was q postoffice. The
postmaster would receive sums as small
as q dime. He would issue to each de-
positor q book. IN which for every dime
paid in . N-cent postage stamp would be
affixed and defaced- When an amount
was Withdrawn he would detach these
stamps to the required amount. turn them
IN az cash, and pay out . corresponding
amount to the depcsitor. With personal
Identification OF the deposition fraud
would be impossible. Interest would only
be allowed on deposits above an average
minimum sum, so that there would be an
inducement not to withdraw. and the
trouble Of keeping accounts would be
trifiing.
Such system as this would DO away
with old stockings. beds. stoves. trunks
and ether crude and dangerous boarding
places. The only fear OF loss would be
from the stealing OF the book or from
Ore. but the book would Dc useless to an
unidentified person presenting II. and the
chances OF loss by fire are very slight.
Even that could be taken into considers
tion In an insurance policy.
There would b no temptation to muir
der poor people for the money supposed
to be hidden about their dwellings. Many
people who place money out at investment
would take advantage of the system to
put q part Of their savings beyond all
risk Of loss. There would be 10 disturb
ance In case Of . panic. for the whole
credit Of the nation would be at the back
OF the deposits. and the greater the APP
prehension as to other modes Of invest
ment the greater would be the desire
to place money with the government
The government itself would be the
gamer by the immense sum which would
thus be placed at It's disposal and put
into circulation.
Not one objection worth considering can
be urged against It Every postmaster is
under bonds and responsible to the post
office department. and the money while
in his, hands would be In no greater dam
ger than any other funds collected by the
postmasters now. The Republican admin
istration can do more by this one reform
than by any other to bring oontentment
to the people, whose disanection has been
to great extent caused by the loss Of
hard-earned earnings.

SEATTLE SUNDAY, APRIL n.
ON NEWS SERVICE.

The Post-Tnteiilgencer is publishing
more news about washington than any
other paper in the state That sort Of
news Is what the people like TO read. In
fact. so far as It's news service Is con-
cerned. there Is no paper In the state
which attempts. like the Post-Inteilgen-
Ger to cover all sections
In addition 70 the usual Associated Press
report. Of some 1890 words daily. four
times as much as any evening paper
prints the Post-IntelIigencer has corre-
spondsnts In every important town In
the state. II maintains representatives
In all the leading cities and towns Of the
state. and the latest news from every
quarter OF the commonwealth will be
found In every edition.
For some years the Post -Tntslllgencer
has endeavored 10 present good paper
that will be OF interest 20 the people, not
only OF Western Washington. but OF the
state generally. With this In view It has
extended It's list OF correspondents so
that now there Is TO section OF the state
that Is not represented
In all prominent places correspondents
are retained TO send by wire or mail shs
latest reports from their localities, and
20 far as state news is concerned. there
Is no paper which pretends TO cover the
state 40 completely and satisfactorily as
the Post-Intslilgencer.
1t win be observed by those who follow
such matters that the state news pub
iished by other papers is lifted bodily
from the Observation-Disclosures. or condensed
from the dispatches which this paper re-
ceives and pays for. 1t 10 merely q system
OF newspaper stealing. without credit to
the publication furnishing tina same. III
one wishes fresh news from different parts
of the state the only way 10 get IL Is by
reading the Post-Inteliigencer, which has
men In ia regular employ TO send this
news.
There IL no paper In the state which PAYS
cne-quarter "a much IS the Post-Inteili-
ssncer to get ali the happenings OF the
day throughout the state. and therefore

source from which TO get 1.-THE Post
