PoLITICSNQ rFOLERATED
Postal Employee Are Warned
to Deslst.

A warning was issued at the Post
Office Department, Washington, to the
effect that the PtmasteF General
will not tolerate any associations OF
postal employees that may be organized
for political purposes with view to
securing at the hands of Congress priv
ileges for their members.
1t was promulgated in response to
requests for announcement of a policy
to govern associations of postmasters OF
the fourth class, and while it is al
dressed to those the warning is meant
for all employees in the postal service.
The attention of postmasters is direct
ed to the speech of Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou at the meeting in Wash
ington last month of the National AS.
sociati on of Postmasters of the Second
and Third Glasses. Postmaster Gener-
al Cortelyou said
Organizations within the Depart
ment to receive its sanction in any
degree must have for their object i'm
movements in the service, or be of a
purely fraternal or beneficial charac-
ter. With any other purpose in view
they are detrimental TO the service, TO
their members and to the public.
Continuing, the Postmaster General
said 1T must be clearly understood
that the officials of the Department,
and not the officials of any organiza-
ton, are the proper persons to present
the Departments needs to Congress. -

A HISTORIC INSTITUTION.
Farmers National Bank Is In a
Prosperous Condition-over
One Million Dollars
In Resources.

We publish in another column the
last financial statement of the Farmers
National Bank of Annapolis, made TO
the Comptroller of the Currency, at
Washington, under the recent ''call''
made BY that official of the Treasury
Department on all the National Banks
of the country.
1t is a notable statement of the old
bank for several reasons In the first
place il shows a remarkably strong
financial condition. Xhe directors of
the bank recently carried $40. 600 from
their Undivided Profits To Surplus
Account, making the "Surplus
FUND.- of the bank an eyen.S 100, 600
This they considered very practical
way of celebrating the centennial year
of the old banks existence, under its
various charters-State and National
The statement now published is the
first in which that 500, 600 Surplus
Fund has appeared.
1t should give depositors and patrons
of the bank renewed and enlarged con-
fidence in its strength land in the bus
mess care and foresight of its manage
ment. In the second place, that state
ment is the first one issued by the
bank since the extension of its char
ter, the certificate of which is also
published in another column of this
paper, coming from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency. The
extension is for twenty years from
May "a, 1905, and was granted after a
thorough and special examination
made of the condition of the bank by
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton.
1t is great qualification to the
many old friends of the venerable in
stitution that it enters upon its new
century and lease of life under such
very favorable auspices. We under
stand that the bank is to tissue at an
early date a memorial volume, or
pamphlet. giving facts concern
ing its origin and early history, as a
souvenir of its centennial anniversary.
