called paternalism on the part of the
government. To establish postal savings
banks would not be saying to the peo-
pie; "You must and shall deposit your
savings in these institutions" it would
simply say to them, Eve offer YOU a
place OF absolute security for your saw
ings. As government We have always
protected your life and your home. We
simply add one more safe guard-we will
protect and care for your money if You so
desire 1t. 1t is purely a matter of busi-
ness, and business proposition which
you are perfectly free to accept orreject. "
Farmers should have a special interest
in postal sayings banks. True, the aver
age farmer is not burdened with the care
OF much money at any one time but
taxes must be paid and implement notes
met. The volume of his financial deal
ings would not warrant the purchase of a
fire and burglar proof safe, and how con-
venient it would be to simply go to the
poStofice and deposit the price of the
load OF corn, where it would not only be
safely cared for, but would perhaps earn
enough enough to take the BOYS to the
next circus-a sacred duty that no FARM
er neglects
The people have demonstrated in var
ious ways that they want postal savings
banks. One proof is afforded in the fact
that many people are actually using
money orders for the investments Of
small sums that they do not want to lose
nor be tempted to spend. They will 60

plication for money order payable to

TEN of currency has educated the people
along this line, and the holder of the
National Bank note, although he knows
it was issued by some particular bank,
never concerns himself about the bank
itself, because he knows that the govern

that note, and his faith in and loyalty to
the government does not permit the
shadow OF suggestion Of a doubt to enter
his mind.
The regular savings institutions Of the
country would be very glaG to get nd Of
that timid, doubtful, and suspicious
class of depositors. They are a Constant
menace to the standing Of a bank, for a
mere ru1nor, unfounded and unreason-
able, will cause them to make a run,
which, even if promptly checked, has a
tendency to injure the bank and hamper
it in extending the limit of its usefulness.
It is we'll known that savings banks
are required by law to keep in their
vaults about ten per cent Of the amo Il.
of the deposits. This reserve money
must lie practically idle and unprOduc-
tive. To this amount of unproductive
capital add the amount that is boarded
away in the traditional stocking or the

necessary to pay on the $4,000 worth Of
bonds, $4,000 instead OF $4,000, a diff
ference of $4,000, which sum if expend-
ed on the streets and alleys, would have
an appreciable effect on the health and
temper of both the wayfaring man and
those who are compelled to live by the

banks should, as in justice they ought,
invest the savings so far as possible in the
locality where they are made, the effect
would be to keep the earnings Of the peo-
pie at home, where they would be used
in building up and developing home in
interests.
Another very important advantage of
postal savings banks would be in the
diminution Of crime. Scarcely day
passes that we do not read in the daily
press the sickening account of some mur-
der and robbery, The temptations to
these crimes were afforded by the habits
OF people who preferred to hoard their
money in their homes, rather than trust
them to bank. In many cases, too,
there was no bank convenient, although
postofice was close at hand. Should
we not make every effort to prevent
crime as we'll as to punish? Many lives

Chloride Electric Ira mway.

Chloride is to become metropolitan.
Among the projected features of the
town is an electric tramway to connect
the mines of the Tennessee lode with
the railroad. The mines are located
about one and one-half miles from the
railroad and all ore product has to
be transported over this distance by
wagon, which is an expensive method.
The power to operate the new line will
be generated in one of the big mills on
the lode at a comparatively light ex-
pense. Many car loads of ore will be
handled over the line daily besides
passengers and freight.

A Noble Woman Gone.

There died last Sunday evening in
The town of kingman, where manv
years OF her life was spent, one of the
noblest and best of women-Mrs
william G. Blakely. A woman of noble
impulses and exalted principles her
character possessed a completeness
and beauty rarely found on earth, and
the virtues which distinguished her
were many, excellent and striking.
Her fidelity to religion was unswery-
Ing and her genuine and practical
loyalty to her own church and the
eminent purity of her life ever shone
out brightly in all the circumstances
In which she was placed. Charity. that
golden chain that reaches from earth
TO heaven, was a tenet of her faith in
life; no one in need was ever turned
away from her door unfed. Kindly of
disposition and lovely of character
Mrs. Blakely was loved by all who
knew her. Wherever she went her in
huence for good was felt; every
act was for the betterment of man.
kind.
The 'llest bark on life's troubled ocean,
VIII leave track behind for cvermore;
The smallest wave Of influence set in motion,
Extends and widens to the eternal shore"
The influences set i'm notion by Mrs.
Blakely have widened to that eternal
shore. Her home was a place where
peace and love dwelt supreme. In all
this broad land of ours there could be
found no mother so gentle, so kind and
loving as she.
When the news went forth last Sun
day that Mrs. Blakely was dead the ex-
pressions of grief and sorrow we're
universal. The immediate cause of
death was heart failure. Mrs. Blakely
was born in Orange county, New York,
August 10th, 1899, and died on her 10th
birthdry. She leaves behind her
husband and four sons to mourn her
loss.
Monday all the flags in town foated
at half mast and all business houses
in town closed during the funeral
hour, and the whole population fol-
lowed the remains to the grave from
the church. Rev. Ziegler paid glow
ing tribute to the memory of the de-
parted and all that was mortal of one
of Gods noble women was laid away in
the grave.
Her day has come. not gone;
Her sun has riseh, not set:
Her life Is now beyond
The reach OF change or death:
Not ended, but bepun.

A. p Maginnis, tax agent of the

trying to effect compromise of tax
matters. The board refused to accept
the railroad proposition for settle
ment and made counter proposition
to the railroad people, which was re-
fused. The territorial board of equal.
ization fixed the railroad assessment
at 2,5OOS per mile and cut off all the
lands and personal property listed by
the county. 1t now looks as If the
matter would be allowed to work out
its own salvation. The board is will
ing to agree on an assessment on a
basis of 90 cents an acre on railroad
lands for period of three years but
will not bind their successors to the
