HOLDING THEIR HORSES.
Cuban "Patriots" and the Itch for
once.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
BY degrees the truth about that Cuban
revolution is coming out. 1t has now
been found that the sensational reports
regarding the destruction of property and
the danger of American interests We're
widely exaggerated by certain interests for
the purpose of inviting Intervention. And
now the patriotic pose of the insurgents In
taking up arms against gross oppression
with an eye single to the redemption OF
their country is being exploded.
A dispatch from Havana describes the
late rebel generals as urgently requesting
Secretary Taft to give them official posi-
tons under the provisional government.
They feel. it is said, that their hopes will
be In vain unless they voice their ambitions
before Taft leaves the island, they think
he is under obligation to do something for
them because of their assistance In dis
arming their followers. Failing to impress
this understanding upon the secretary,
General Castillo has advised his colleagues
to hold their horses, evidently a threat to
return to the field If the jobs are not forth
coming.
Castillo and his friends will do well to
hold their horses" not in the sense they
mean, but in the colloquial Interpretation.
They should go slowly. If they attempt to
repeat the bluff so successfully worked on
Palma they will find the American officers
less sensitive. But, for the moment, the
exposure Of these patriots begging and
threatening for office ought to dispose of
the mythical high purpose with which they
we're invested. They were and are simply
hungry off1ceseekers frantic for a place
at the office pie counter and unworthy of
respect or consideration. Palma,at least
was actuated by theambition to give the
island stable government and to establish
his country as a self-governing nation, The
was actuated by the ambition to give the
Cubans matter for thought before again
mstaking the insurrectonary itch for Of
flee for patriotism.

MAXIM GORKT.

As to Maxim Gorky, who has
shaken the dust of this country from
his feet. it may be truly said that
nothing has become him more than
his departure. The moral phase of his
domestic relations, the exposure of
which was almost simultaneous with
his arrival last spring, need not now
be dwelt upon, but it was the occasion
of timely revelation of his character,
not as a protestant against political
oppression in his native country, but
as an Unbalanced malcontent and
transcendent egotist. Irritated upon
his appearance here by the application
to him of the social code which, what
ever he may think of 1t, is neverthe-
less the decree OF our people, and
which he would have taken due ac-
count of in advance IL ne had been a
wise man, he forthwith began TO in
dulge in indiscriminate and con-
temptuous denunciations of our insti-
buttons, forgetting the cause TO pro-
mote which was the only excuse for
his coming at all. and which his own
folly disqualified him from serving
here. His embittered ratings against

PosToFFICE SAVINGS BANKS.
Review of the system In Operation
In Great Britain.

Philadelphia Ledger.
1t is a pleasant compliment to the man
ner in which the banking business Of this
country is conducted and testimony TO
the opportunities already afforded the fru-
gally minded elements of the population,
that the United States is one Of the two
great nations of the civilized world which
have not adopted the postal savings bank
system. Germany is the other. That
country, too, may be entitled to the Inn
piled testimonial as to the excellence of
its financial machinery; but, notwithstand-
ing. the agitation both in Germany and
America for the introduction of the sys-
TEN is sufficiently insistent to cause won
der as to how long they will maintain
their present exceptional position.
A recent change in the directing man.
agement of the British Postoffce Savings
bank has been made the occasion for a
review of the operation of that institution
In the country of its origin during the past
decade and a half. Such a showing viii
be of more value than any quantity of
theoretical arguments. Since 1880 the bank
has doubled its business and clientele. In
the former year the deposits amounted.
In round numbers, TO 1929. 100000; they are
now s7iOOOO,OOO. Fifteen years ago there
one in seven of the population, now there
are 100000, or about one in 435. The
average amount standing to each account
Is ST429, which is lower than It has been.
and is a disproof of the charge sometimes
heard that the postal bank has become the
depositary of the property class.
The regulations limit the amount de-
positor may add to his account In a sin
gle year to $3.50 and the total 81 any time
TO 81 900. The history of the whole period
under review has been one Of relaxation
of restrictions and the increase of facili-
ties for the deposit and withdrawal OF
money, the policy of the postofice being
to provide that most potent inducement
to saving-that of having the means close
at hand Practically every postoffice Is
made savings bank-there are close to 49,
go OF them now In the United Kingdom
and the government guarantees the secur-
ity Of the deposits and at the same time
exercises its utmost endeavor TO reduce
the expense to a minim um.
The time has been when, in England
the bank earned a surplus TO the govern
nent but while this is not now the case
the deficit is slight As one observer has
remarked, III an account were taken be-
tween the deposition and the taxpayer the
balance would still be largely IN favor Of
the former Considering the large pro-
portion OF women, artisans small trades
men and domestic servants among the de-
positoTs. the value of the system To British
wage earners could hardly be oyerest-
mated.

FROM SELFISH NOTIFIES

1t is reasonably certain that after
March next, neither of Nebraska s
two United States senators will re-
side in Omaha, The endorsement by
the republican state convention of
Norris Brown as the preferred can
didate of the party means that with
the republicans controlling the COM
ing legislature-and all indications
point that wayne will receive the
senatorial commission to succeed the
outgoing incumbent. Should the leg
islative majority by chance fall to
the democrats, their choice will have
been made for them by the endorse
ment of w. II. Thompson for senator
In the democratic and populist state
conventions The senatorship, there
fore, which Omaha has held since Ne
braska was admitted TO the union,
will in all probability be transplanted
to Kearney or by bare possibility to
Grand Island instead
The prospective loss of the sena-
torship cannot. fail to make the rep
resentation from this district in con-
gress all the more important TO
Omaha. True, Omaha is in no dan
ger of losing the congressman, too,
but without either of the two sena-
tors personally identified with us by
residence, it becomes practically es-
sential to all the elements and inter
ests here to have a representative in
the lower house at Washington not
only competent and qualified to look
after our affairs, but also in political
harmony with the administration in
power
Theodore Roosevelt will occupy the
White House for two years more,
which will cover the entire term of
the congress about to be chosen, and
he will be the dominant force in
eminent. That the republican candi-
date for congress, Hon. John i. Ken
nedy, will surely represent us better
and keep in closer touch with the
Roosevelt administration than could
his democratic opponent, will hardly
be gainsaid by anyone. Mr. Kennedy
has had the benefit of service in the
present congress in which he stood
with Roosevelt" on all the notable re-
form legislation for which that body
has been so universally commended,
and it goes without saying would be
more likely to secure favorable at
tention for Omaha's and South
Omaha's needs from the president
and his department heads than any
democrat we might send, who has
been constantly and chemically carp
ing at the president and is politically
out of tune with all the powers that
be in Washington.
If the circumstances were reversed,
the people might pass over the strik
ing superiority of Mr.. Kennedy to his
democratic opponent in ability, in ex-
perience, in familiarity with pressing
public questions and in habits of in.
dustry, but even If they we're to choose
between them now from purely selfish
motives as to which could accomplish
most for them as their business agent
at the national capital, Mr.. Kennedy
would have the support of every voter
in the district who is not completely
blinded by partisan prejudice.
Omaha and South Omaha will be only
standing up for themselves when they
return John l. Kennedy to congress.

The advocates of single statehood
for Oklahoma and Indian Territory
are coming to the fore, and there
promises to be quite as hard flight
over this question as over the ques'
ton OF separate statehood for Arizona
and New Mckee. There is strong
delegation from Indian Territory in
Washington. They say that statehood
and separate s-atehood was promised
them i'll the act passed by Congress
eight Years ago, and they are averse
to being sie1 up with Oklahoma on
the statehood issue. A hearing will
soon be given the delegation, and the
joint pressure from Indian Territory
and Arizona may result in holding up
the two statehood measures Tor an
other session.
