average British deposit was less than
500, while the average in the New York
savings banks was nearly 500.
1t appears, therefore, that New YORK,
both in the number Of It's savings bank
depositors relatively to the population
and in the average amount OF their
deposits, has greatly the advantage OF
the United Kingdom; and only suoh
comparison between tho British savings
and those OF single American State
or particular group OF our States IS at
all fair or Of any value.
Only in few OF our States is the saw
ings bank system developed to any large
extent, and chief OF these are New YORK
and the New England States. The ag-
gregate population OF these States in 1908
was less than third Of the population OF
the United Kingdom; yet the number OF
their depositors in savings was nearly
half as many as the British, and the
American deposit averaged five times
as much. In the State Of New York alone
the amount of deposits is greater than
the deposits in the whole United King
dom by more than s20o,0oO,000. though
its population is less by 35,0000oo. More
over the increase in the amount OF the
New York deposits last year was more
then eight times the aggregate increase
in the British savings banks, post office
and trustee between 1902 and 1908.

American and English Savings.

A report of the Superintendent OF
Banks OF the State Of New York shows
that on the lst OF January Of this year
the savings banks of the State held
deposits amounting TO 81 ,les, 5S3, LAP, and
that the depositors, or open accounts,
numbered 2,44S,555 The increase in de-
posts for the year 1904 was S67 POI, 1870
and in open accounts 1872.
These statistics are interesting for
comparison with the savings in the
British United Kingdom. There, in
1908, in the post office savings banks.

Of British savings bank depositors was

The population Of the United Kingdom
in t,o1 was about az, 100000 The number
Of depostors in it's savings banks in 1908
represented, therefore, something more
than a fourth Of the population. The
population Of the State Of New York, as
estimated by the Census Bureau for 1903,
was 7,s5e,sl4, and Of this number the

The Price of Child Labor.

It Ia exceedingly difficult TO under
stand the obstacles which confront those
who advocate the creation and enforce
ment Of laws restricting and regulating
the labor OF children. Upon no ground
in the entire realm OF morals or econom-
les can the SUSTAIN of child labor DO justi-
fed. The moral objections TO 1t seem
self-evident The economic objections
should be only less so.
So Indifferent is the community to
this profoundly important question that
it has become necessary TO organize
National Child Labor Committee to urge
legislation on the subject, and to at
tempt TO create healthy public senti-
ment. A few days ago this body held
a meeting in New York. The special
aim of the discussion was to present
proof that child labor was economically
improbable. II this ground is taken
because it is believed to be impossible
to make an effective appeal TO the public
on the higher planes, there Ia implied
most lamentable torpidity OF American
moral sense.
The regulation OF child labor Is sub
jeot to State and not to national laws.
The laws OF the States vary widely, and
in few. il in any. are tue laws effectively
enforced. Behind those laws should be
an ever alert public sentiment.
The census OF 1900 shows l,268,oSo boys
and 4so,is7 girls between the ages OF 10
and is years engaged in gainful occupa-
tions. This is about one-fifth Of all the
children OF that age in the United States
They are classified as follows:

Greeks TO the number OF 800 a month
land in this city. A majority OF them make
their homes here, superseding, or at least
rivalling the Italians in many minor trades.
The early Italian newcomers manifested
little interest in or aptitude for public
affairs but the children OF Italian parentage
have shown greater concern. At the re-
cent election several Italians were candi-
dates for offioe in both parties.
In their own country Greeks have the
reputation of being excellent politicians.
Their Chamber OF Deputies in Athens never
lacks earnest and eloquent statesmen. and
a frequent obstacle to the Transaction Of
any business has boon found in the pro-
pensity Of the leaders Of Greek factions TO
disputation.
So many Greeks in New York are en-
ployed as pedlsrs. small vendors and deal
ers requiring licenses that they apply
promptly for naturalization papers and thus
qualify themselves as voters. There are
as yet no leaders among them, no candi-
dates, few Greeks In office, and few Greeks
interested in public political matters. This
condition Ia probably only temporary.
When Greeks hereabouts become truly oon-
cerned in public affairs a new element will
come into the forces OF agitation and argl-
ment-
Practically all the Greek immigrants
arriving here are men and only small frac-
ton are less than "a years of age. There
are very few women and the number of
nliterates among the Greeks ia not large,

activity

NO REVOLUTIONARY CANNON.
Paterson Thought 1t Had One, but
Proof Is Lacking.

Paterson. n. j.. June 19.-Plans Of the
Junior Order of United States American
Mechanics for big celebration on July 1
in connection with the dedication of an
alleged historic cannon have been can
celled because no proof of the historical
antecedents of the cannon is at hand.
George w. Rose discovered the gun in a
pile of junk. He said he had reason to
believe that it served in an Irish revOlu-
ton. and later roared defiance to the
British redcOats in this country. He sug-
gested to Parker Council. Junior Order Of
United American Mechanics. that the can
non be erected under its auspices in East
side Park. The Park Commission agreed
to accept the cannon on behalf of the city.
The celebration was to include a parade
and a military and civic display. The
Grand Army and the sons Of Veterans ac-
cepted invitations. Then it was found
there were no special reasons to believe
the cannon had ever played part in the
American or any other revolution. The
federal authorities have come to the re-
lief of the local patriots by giving a can
non captured i'm the Spanish war, but it
may not arrive in time for a Fourth OF
July celebration.
