The number of depositors in the
savings banks of the United States
has doubled in the last II years, says
March Success. The total amount of
their deposits has increased from
$1,235, 5,247,371, in 1887, to $2,935, ,2O4,-
S45, during the year 1908. The Of
fetal statistics for 1903, show 1906
22S individual depositors. About one
half the amount deposited represents
the savings of the wage earning class.
The figures here given not only show
an increasing prosperity among those
of small incomes, but they also indi-
cate an increasing frugality. OF the
total deposits of the entire country,
not less than 3S.5 per cent are in the
state of New York The part of this
grand total of deposits which is cred
tied to the wage earning class does
not represent all of the savings of
that group. The building and loan
associations, with total assets of more
than $500, 900, 900, are favorite form
of investment for rpany. Then per-
sonal boarding, life insurance, and
even modest investment in stocks and
bonds, are other means of accumu-
lation Many wage earners in coun-
try towns and small cities own their
homes. All this shows that the wage
earners of the United States have a
large share in our national prosper
ity.

informed or it is clearing the way
for some good Democrat to land the
job of Supervisor of roads in Ohio
county at a good salary. The first
is not plausible reason for the pro-
prietor of the Herald is a lawyer and
ex-County Attorney of the county
and the editor is man of years of
experience and learning. How could
it arise from transformation? That
the public roads should be improved
is apparent to most people but let
us have it done in a judicious and am
icable way and with as little expense
as possible. But don't get the idea
that the law compels the Fiscal
Court to elect a supervisor of roads
in any event and bear in mind the
further fact that the Fiscal Court is
not authorized to elect supervisor
until the tax system of working the
roads is established.

1.-THE NEW PHILOSOPHY"
A Synopsis By a Scholarly Gen.
tleman Who Has Given the
Subject Much Thought.

Editor REPUBLICAN:-Will you be
kind enough to allow me to call the
attention of your readers to q new
book on The New Philosophy. which
the author announces he will mail
free and postage paid to every read
er who wi ask for it.
The book is by Arthur Crane, of
Palo Alto, CAL, and its nine chapters
are headed: The Order of the In
finite, Mans Place and Power, The
Principles of Harmony, The Use of
the Understanding, Unselfshness,
Peace Be Unto You, Modern Mo
lechs, The Attitude of Health,
Love.
The opening chapter is an ingen-
ious effort to account for the phe-
nomenon of thought upon the hypo-
thesis that it results from a higher
voltage, as the telephone from
lower voltage, OF electricity. from
the low voltage of the telephone
battery to the powerful voltage of
the Marconi battery the author sees
an ascending scale, which, in the
fine matter of the human brain, re-
suits in the phenomenon of thought.
The imperfections of the human
character, the author assumes, are
the result of a resisting medium;
this removed the positive voltage,
becomes infinite and the character
perfect. Whatever notions the read
err may form about this theory he
cannot question the authors privi-
lege to inquire into such an inviting

up
The courts have decided that JUS
tees of the Peace cannot act as road
supervisors and that a County
Judge cannot collect extra pay for
supervising the roads. This, how
ever, does not preclude him from
supervising the roads as County
Judges have always done. The
Court of Appeals in a case appealed
from Daviess county where the
County Judge had been allowed a
salary for supervising the roads
says:
1T is true under section 1918 Ken
lucky Statutes the Fiscal Court in
stead of appointing a supervisor
may authorize the County Judge to
let out the working of the roads; but
in that event he acts as County
Judge and not as supervisor and is
entitled to no additional compensa-
ton for his services; the other du-
ties imposed upon the supervisors
being in that event discharged by
the road overseers in their respective
precincts. And again by Section
1918 Kentucky Statutes the Fiscal
Court is not authorized to appoint a
supervisor under any circumstances
unless the roads are worked by taxa
ton, which is not the case in Ohio
county. The Herald is evidently
mistaken when it says the Fiscal
Court of Ohio county must select a
supervisor of roads at its next meet
ing. 1t has no authority to do so
unless a system of working the roads
by taxation is also established and
then it is not compelled to do so and
would incur a needless expense if it
did as the County Judge acting in his
capacity as such, is authorized by law
and the decision of the Court of APP
peals to perform the duties that are
enjoined upon supervisors.
The Herald errors in another par
ticular when it assumes that County
Judge Miller can and will call a
special session of the court for the
purpose of electing a supervisor of
roads. The law, in effect, provides
that wherein the roads are worked
by taxation and supervisor is elect
ed it must be done by the Fiscal
Court at a regular term thereof and
that vacancies in the Office shall be
filled by appointment by the County
Judge until the next regular session
of the Fiscal Court.
There are, as we see it, not more
than two reasons for the Herald s
diversions. 1t has either been mis-

Earth SWALLOWS a Boy.

Pottsville, Pa, Sept. 90.-Returning
home with pail of water in his hand,
10-year-old Robert Mahoney, of Broad
Mountain, was yesterday swallowed up
by the earth and for three hours lay at
the bottom of a 6S-foot mine breach
waiting for help TO arrive. His rescue
was as dramatic as his appearance, as be
again had a most remarkable escape
from instant death, as did Richard
Appleby, a neighbor, who was one OF
the number who brought him back to
the surface.
The boy is terribly battered about the
face and body. 1t is believed that he
will recover, but if so it will be won
der. The Mahoney family secure their
water from a tank near the railroad, and
the boy was sent to secure bucketful.
He was returning over frequently-used
path, when the ground suddenly gave
way beneath him, and where before the
surface had been apparently solid deep
hole yawned.
How he escaped instant death cannot
be imagined, but he was rendered un-
conscious for probably an hour. Then,
recovering his senses, he began to call
for help, and his cries were heard by
several neighbors, who had gone out to
search for him. A rope was secured
and lowered into the breach, and this
he tied about his waist. Giving sig
nal, he was hoisted to the top Of the
breach. AS willing hands reached out
to pull him to safety the rope parted.
ClutchDg at some shrubbery, he stayed
his downward fight for fraction of a
second, which gave Richard Appleby
time to reach out and grasp him by the
coat. The weight of the body slowly
pulled Appleby to the brink of the
chasm, and just as the horror-stricken
spectators expected both to go down to
their death he finally grasped bush,
all the time retaining his hold on the
boy. Both were caught and dragged
from danger,

Suicide After Wife's Death.

Cyrus II. Fletcher, of Wake, Middle
sex county, who was adjudged insane by
commission of lunacy shortly after the
death Of bis wife, several weeks ago, is
dead, having taken quantity Of NOR
phine while en- route to the asylum, at
williamsburg. The wife of Fletcher
died in spasms. The death of his wife
proved upon Fletcher's mind. AT the
burial of the woman he is said to have
told friends that he was responsible for
her death. While on the way home
from the grave be told his pastor, who
had just concluded the burial service for
his wife, that he expected to join her
in a day or two. He gave bis father,
G. I. Fletcher, all of his important
papers and minute instructions as to
the disposition of his property. Friends
demonstrated with him about his de-
spondent condition, TO all of which he
responded that he could not live with
out Sue, who, he claimed, was not at
rest on his account. He said that he
could not possibly stay away from his
wife more than two days longer. After
one of these outbreaks he rushed from
the house to the woods, in quest of his
wife, crying that he heard her calling to
him, but could not find her. A COM
mission of lunacy was ordered to decide
upon his case, and he was adjudged in
sane. He was started Immediately for
the asylum, at Williamsburg. The
party stopped over for the night in
Gloucester county. Fletcher insisted
that his allotted two days in the flesh
were up, but his friends paid no atten-
ton to his talk. During the night, in
some mysterious way, he obtained pos
session of jar of morphine. He took
enough of the drug to kill dozen men
and died shortly afterwards.
