 At the cashiers window of the Citi- zens Savings bank l saw fine example of the savings accounts that are being made by the working girls of Birming ham, A young girl apparently sixteen or seventeen years of age stepped boldly to the window and passed a small pack age to Cashier c.

With a happy smile on her face the girl received her small bank and retired.
 ''I only know the girls name and that she works in the city. but her case Is fair example of hundreds of others like her who have accounts with us,' said MT Davidson This girl opened her account in February with a small deposit. and she has consistently added to this until now she has $95 to her credit.

 May Be President.
 J. II. Frye, president of the Traders National bank, expressed much apprecia- ton of the business woman who Is care full of her savings and is making herself felt for good in the financial world. He said that the idea of independent accounts by women is comparatively new in the south, but that the tendency is growing very rapidly, and that it is very prob able that the woman of the very near future will not only be a careful bank deposltor, but clever bank director and even bank president.
 R. H. Wharton, Jr., manager of the savings department of the American Trust and Savings bank, said that all classes of women except employees of cot ton mills are developing the habit of sav- ing part of their incomes. "The largest women depostors," said MT. Wharton. "are the stenographers who perhaps draw better wages than most other women who work, but we have some large accounts with almost every other class of working girls in the city. Many of these accounts are as large as $500 and 5000, accumulated by small savings. As a rule. however, the married women Is the best and most careful saver,

party will arrive In Jersey City tomorrow
morning.
This afternoon Mr.. Ogden and his guests
attended the final commencement exercises
at Hampton Institute. There were ninety.
eight in the graduating class, Three Of
the outgoing students are Indians, all thu
others negroes. Mr.. Ogden addressed the
graduating class on behalf OF the board Of
trustees OF the institute. He said that no
institution IL more powerful in making for
peace and progress than Is Hampton.
Ex-Gov. Montague Of Virginia delivered
an address. He predicted that within a
short time there would be compulsory edu.
cation throughout the entire South.
"A public school system 10 illogical, = said
he, unless 1t carries with 1t compulsory
education"
The Rev. Or. Jacobus OF Hartford, Conn.,
said he had learned from his trip in tho
South that the education Of the negro is q
problem for the South itself TO solve. but
the South needs, he said, the sympathy and
cooperation Of the North In the work.
The entire Ogden party were entertained
at luncheon at the home Of Mrs. Alexander
Purves In Hampton. Mrs. Purves is a
daughter Of Mrs. Ogden.

sumer Of cotton cloth, yarn and thread
the Spectator stands only M a kind Of
highwayman who nSt only takes toll,
but seriously disturbs the conditions Of
the market.
For various reasons IL has thus far
been impossible for cotton growers and
mill men to get together on a trading
platform which would offer NJ place for
the Spectator. Many in both groups
have dreamed Of such an arrangement,
and IL has been widely discussed in pri-
vate and in public gatherings. Dur
ing the present week a meeting has been
held In Washington at which there have
been present delegates from ~organiza-
tons representing both the grower and
the manufacturer. It has resulted In a
better mutual understanding and In an
advance toward the desired and desir-
able end. The solution appears to be
coming along the line Of the warehous-
ing system now in process OF develop
ment in the South.
1t is reported from the warehousing
experiment that where it has been tried
the cost Of the warehouses has been re-
paid in q single year by the saving in
weather damage to the staple. Reply
ing to a submitted question regarding
the way in which the mill owner could
come into purchasing contact with the
cotton grower, a delegate who stated
that he was the representative Of 90, 700
farmers and cotton growers in Indian
Territory replied. we arc building
warehouses to store the cotton and pro-
tect it from the weather. We will there
sort and grade it, pack 1t as it should
be packed and guarantee that 1t shall
come up to sample when it is delivered.
Then when you want cotton You can
order from us a hundred or a hundred
Thousand bales and know what you are
getting and the price you will have to
pay for it,"
This seems to be a businesslike propo-
sition. II 1t be carried out on an ex-
tensive scale in combination with an
undertaking to refuse sales Of staple to
any and all except actual users thereof,
it should result in a practically complete
elimination Of that detrimental third
influence in the fixing of prices for raw
cotton. Reasonable stability Of prices
could be effected on a business basis.

sta bility In Cotton Prices.

Two interests are concerned in normal
business transactions, the buyer and the
seller. Between producer and consumer
there may, and usually does, stand a line
OF legitimate middlemen engaged in
converting raw material into finished
product or in profit taking in the proc
esses Of distribution. This is the rule
and practice in nearly all lines Of pro-
ductive industry. The cotton business
stands az the most notable exception
to the custom. 1t introduces a third
interest-the Spectator. The presence
and the actually dominating influence of
this element in price fixing is an adj
mitted evil.
For some time a careful consideration
has been given to proposed plans for the
elimination of this third influence. The
epeculator adds nothing to the ~transac-
ton between buyer and seller, between
producer and consumer. He is merely
a toll taker, often extortionate, for his
own benefit and at the expense of the
public. A spectators increase Of one
cent a pound on l,oOO,OOO bales of raw
cotton costs the public 5000, 900, for
which absolutely nothing is done or
given in return. A group OF bull specu-
lators controlling, by cooperation or
otherwise, 5000, 900 bales on which the
price is raised three cents a pound above
u fair business cost takes the vast sum
OF SIS, 900, 900 from the public and gives
no return of any kind. Between the
cotton grower and the individual con-

Speak to JOE CANNON about CANNON

the notion; talks about his antiquity,
and modestly AYERS that, whatever else
he may be, he is no fool. On words to
that effect. Such a Methuselah as he

wink rapidly and happily.
The exuberant and almost excessive
vitality Of Uncle JOE Is clear to every

is low music to him, and a field day"
and half riot in the House are as gentle
massage. There is no heartier eater,
Laughter and story teller in the world;

more evidence of his serpentlike wisdom.

The congratulatory despatch Of the

exalted as to disregard the mandate OF the people

Uncle JOE must be frightened by some

-thhu8ttEB hCfO WV NV ~
Prof. James H. Hyslop, who is willing
to be convinced by evidence Of communica-
tons from spirits and Of their supernatural
phenomena, issued a statement yesterday
bewailing the fact that the French Govern
ment has beaten out America in appropriate
ing money for psychic investigations.
The sum appropriated is 1000, 900 francs,
and ~other parts of the world protesting TO
be progressive are lingering in the rear OF
the procession says he.
Prof. Hyslop also announced that prob
ably the American branch of the Society
for Psychical Research will be abandoned
In difference to the plans of the American
Institute of Scientific Research. which was
chartered two ear ago. The latter
society, Prof. Hyslop announced, has
secured only q small fund Tor preliminary
organization and awaits a similar public
interest as that displayed in France to carry
on its work. Prof. Hyslop is head Of the
American Institute Of Scientific Research
and he says S 1000 is needed to complete
the preliminary organization. Andrew
Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller have
been approached, but haven't contributed
vet. The men most interested, Prof,
Hyslop said yesterday, are willing to give
their moral support, but they are not rich
enough to contribute heavily for its main
tenancs.

What He Thinks OF 1908.

These observations are singular be-
cause they come from the Washington
Post, q candid newspaper living within
half a mile OF 80 Of the White House:
mo other President was such a political history
maker. II Is not surprising that there Is so much
talk Of o third term. Tho President is In every
body's eye, In everybodys calculations. and this
country Is full of great men. OF all parties, who
would Ike nightly to know exactly what Mr..
ROCKWELL thinks of 1908 and all he thinks Of 1t.
But MI. ROOSEVELT is a mighty man 10 keep EN-
guessing
What Mr.. ROOSEVELT thinks Of 1908
lie no mystery. 1t is one subject con-
corning him that is out of the guessing.
This is what he thinks Of 1908:
On tho fourth Of March next Cloo5l l shall have
served three and a half years, and this three and
q half years constitutes my nrst term. The wise
custom which limits the President to two terms
regards the substance and not the form. and under
no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept
another nomination"
This plain, sincere and absolutely
straightforward declaration was made
by Mr.. ROOSEVELT on the night Of the
day Of his election for what he regards
as his second term as President, 1t was
made voluntarily and he meant it to
stand as final. He has repeated it more
than once in terms that show he has not
changed his mind and doesn't intend to
change his mind.
How, then, can the Washington Post
represent Mr.. RoosEvELT's intentions
concerning a third term as a matter Of
conjecture and mystery without insult
ing the President?

TO the three platoon system, which was

1t may be true that 5000 policemen Of all

or not, IL is beyond question that the tax
