THE navy department is endeavorng
TO secure the appropriation OF money to
build a small experimental plant for the
manufacture of powder; but. according to
information received from Washington,
IL is not likely to be successful. because
the powder manufacturers of the country
want TO make all The powder used by the
government. Some such reason as this
is alleged against some other measures
which. /, is believed, would be conducive
TO the public good. The people. 1t may
be fairly asserted. favor postal savings
banks; but. though strongly urged by the
postal authorities for number OF years,
there is apparently no prospect ofthe
immediate adoption of the plan. The
private savings banks are opposed to IL.
and this seems to outweigh in congress
popular favor and the Endorsement of the
postoffice officials. Again, the parcel
post is urged by Postmaster General
Smith, and the people apparently want
it. The press of the country is almos,
unanimous in favor Of it. and the expert
ence OF other nations proves its feasibility.
Blu, the indications are that there will be
no legislation in congress in the direction
of the establishment of the parcel post.
The express companies are against it.
And there you are.

EVERY attempt at biographical work
up to the production of The Successful
American" has been handicapped by the
factihat its contents do not bring the SUBJ
ject up TO date.
In many cases the material is secured
as far as two years ahead of the time of
publication, and the sketch is therefore
likely TO omit important details.
The aim of"The Successful American
is to present the lives OF such men in this
country as have made for themselves a
name.
Whenever anyone by his own endeav-
or marks out path for himself. the story
Of his life becomes. in a certain sense,
public property.
Other men. especially young men.
want TO know when this successful man
was born. Of what ancestry. what were
his educational facilities. what his sur
roundings. The details of the life OF a
man of note are studied by thousands
who would also win fame.
