One of the methods suggested to pre-
vent election bribery is to have incor
porated in the law an oath, to be taken
by every voter at the time Of casting
his ballot, that he has not, directly OF

the phraseology of the oath of such a
character that any person guilty OF

of perjury and subjecting himself to the
penalty denounced against that offence,
with his disfranchis'ment and other
penalties, also, for committing the crime
of bribery.

Professors and Postal Banks.

Simply as all expression from men
who are trained to deal with problems
and to form their opinions from con
victiou, the opinions Of the fourteen
professors at the Northwestern Uni
versity to whom a postal saving bank
petition was presented are Of interest.
Each of them gave his Endorsement to
the project and apparently took pleas
ure in doing so. Just as this laboring
men approved the plan from a keen
personal sense OF its need; just as bust
ness men have Endorsed it as the best
available means of promoting content
ment and thus forfsnding agitations
unfavorable to steady growth in trade,
the college men approve it as a theory
sound in the abstract and practicable
in it's application to the conditions Of
the time.
The Northwestern University faculty
is representative, in its personnel. Of
many educational institutions Of high
class throughout the country. 1t isnot
unreasonable to suppose that an actual
test would disclose that the greater
part of the educators in the country
would take the same view.
In the light Of this general conviction
among all classes as to the merits OF
postal banks, how long will it be before
the system is regarded by the people
not as merely an advantage but as a
necessity OF modern social and economic
conditions?-Chicsgo Record.

he seized a gun and compelled the other
visitor TO shoot the manned man and
likewise forced him o murder the Indians

The bodies were then taken, with the
hope OF destroying all evidence of the
crime, and thrown into the ocean. THIS
was followed by placing the dead Indians
effects in his canoe and turning it adrift,
giving the impression that he and his
squaw had been drowned.
Through the confession of the Indian
who was forced TO do the killing 10
