business, the principal problem to be
met in the proposition for postal saw
ings banks in this country is the
question of how the government is to
invest the funds deposited so as to
keep the money in circulation and
also be able to pay a small rate of
interest to the depositors.
In other countries the money is in
vested in the securities of the govern
ment itself, but in this country the
government debt has been held to be
too small to form a sufficient or per-
manent basis for the employment of
the vast sums that would flow in
through the postal savings bank sys-
tenn. Postmaster General Wanamak-
er, in one of his reports involving the
problem, cites a general opposition to
the reduction of the national debt and
it's transfer from the hands of the
banks, by whom it is used as security
for bank note circula ton In this con-
nection one of the recommendations
made by Mr. Wanamaker was the fol
lowing:
Designated postoffices to receive OIL
deposit sums of not less than 81,
which may be in postage stamps on
cards to be furnished, interest to be
added from the beginning of the next
month after deposit, on sums Of not
less than $40. All deposits to be trans
mitted to the secretary of the trea sury,
who shall, at the beginning of each
half year, fix the rate of interest to be
paid to depOsitors Said interest to be
one-half of l per cent less than the
current rate at savings funds and pri-
vate banks at the monetary centers.
The secretary of the treasury shall
keep account of deposits by states,
and, to put the money in circulation,
shall offer the funds arising in each
state as loan to the national banks
of the same states, at a rate of inter
est to be fixed by him, and these sums
shall be declared trust funds and shall
be a preferred claim against the assets
of the bank
In a previous report Mr.. Wanamak-
er suggested that the banks be re
quired to deposit bonds as security
for the funds intrusted to them.
Postmaster General Creswells plan
was to limit the amount that could
be deposited in any one year to $500
and the total for any one deposition to
$1,000. 1t also was a part of his plan
that the government operate the tele-
graph system in connection with the
postal system as in England and that
the problem of investing the money
deposited could be solved by using it
to pay for the telegraph lines. Other
suggestions have been made that the
funds on deposit he invested by the
government in approved state securi-
ties or even in first-class municipal Sc
curities.
In Italy, according to reports ON the
postal bank system of that country,
part of the funds are loaned to pro-
vinces and cOmmunes.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-03

would accrue from the system, it is
claimed are:
The encouragement of thrift anc
economy among laboring classes.
The education of children to the
value of saving.
The Installing of systematic habits
and the business instinct in the young
The tendency to discourage disorder
and anarchy by reason of a wide
spread financial interest in the govern
ment.
Convenience in making deposits ani
withdrawing funds, no matter il
what part of the country a person may
happen to be.
The inspiring of loyalty to the coun
try and confidence in it's institutions
among foreigners.
The appeal to the very small savel
who hesitates to go to the ordinary
cared for.
But the main consideration and thu
one that appeals to the masses is the
complete security offered by a govern
ment institution as compared to the
distrust awakened and kept alive by
such failure as that which has revived
the present movement in Chicago fo1
postal savings banks.
In addition to the above the Farm
er's Call also published the following
statistics of the postal savings banks
of the world.
The following figures, taken from
| the most recent official reports oh

ors and the total deposits in govern

MEN CAN NOT STOP CRYING.
Doctors and Courts Puzzled Over TWO
Most Peculiar Cases.

Cleveland, o.. Christian Dolde, "a
years old, living with his sister, Mrs
Carrie Letherer, has been hailed into
court because his loud bellows at
night keep his neighbors awake.
Dolde has been crying continually
for q week, physicians being unable
to aid him. His condition is the re-
suit Of a typhoid fever siege, the dis
ease having left him weak minded.
He was arrested recently on an in
sanity charge, but was released by the
court officers because they thought
his condition was the result of alco-
holism. n @
He fought desperately when ar
rested. He ripped the buttons OF the
patrolman's coat and then tore the
coat almost to shreds. In jail a fell
low prisoner tried to cure him Of cry
ing BY beating him, but the method
proved futile. Dolde will be examined
by Judge Haddon.
Another peculiar case came up In
Judge streple's court. Robert j.
Barnes is suing the Cleveland Electric
Railway company for $25, 900 for in
jnries received while motorman. He
claims 500 volts Of electricity passed
through his body and that his tongue
and body have been partially para
lyzed. He has been crying almost
continuously since the accident

MIR. Coburn Declines.

Mr.. Coburn's g declination of the SEN
atorship from Kansas is much more
remarkable contribution to political his
tory than Mr.. Coburn could possibly
have made had he accepted the appoint
ment, gone to Washington and puffed
out his chest.
Mr.. Coburn says he declines the SEN
atorship because should he accept he
would have to associate with politicians
and instead of being happy in the room
with his incubator, he would be ex.
pected at the capital to talk over mat:
ters with a lot of men whom he knows
imperfectly and whom he trusts not at
all. .-. ...,
This is a pretty severe arraignment
Of the politicians, considering that
prominent among the ''conferees'
would very likely be the governor tt
whom he owed his appointment.
6 The question is, are sthe men Will
whom even senator must confer o1
such a character as to constitute bal

tion by an honorable man? Having de
| clined the senatorship and given hi
reasons, Mr.. Coburn ought to complet,
