4 MODERN CONYENIE YCE.

Not so very long ago there was some-
 thing prevalent in many of the banks in New York that looked like scorn of | the small depositor and his money. Now
 it is very different, and the small de-
 positor and his money are welcome. 1 Indeed, so welcome are they in one
 bank that they are sent for. This bank sends out an automobile, in the center I of which is big safe. The automobile bank starts out just before 6 o'clock,
 and makes the rounds of it's customers
 among retail stores and day restau- rants. Then about nine it makes the rounds of the theatres, picking up the receipts for the night that the manager
 does not wish to leave in his own safe. The last trip is about l o'clock, to the all-night restaurants to gather in the receipts from the after theatre supper cro wd. Each depositor incloses his de- poslt Tn locked box With deposit slip inside. The depositor has one key to the box, and the receiving teller at the bank has the only other one. The pro- lection from highwaymen, who might knock down the chauffeur and run off the automobile, to blow up the safe somewhere in the country at their leis- ure, is more ingenious. This automobile does not start with an ordinary con troller. A chauffeur must learn the combination, as a trusted clerk knows the combination of his firms safe, be- fore he can make the thing go at all.
 This is banking while you don't wait. If it works well other banks will doubt less soon go into it.

NEW ENGLAND FARMS.

We are not hearing as much about the abandoned farms of New Englan6 as we were. One reason is that there are not as many of them as there were There is complaint in Maine that the abandoned farms of that State have been so absorbed by city people whc convert them into summer places that there are not enough farms for farm- CTS, The matter has been called to the attention of the State Agricultural de- partment. Commissioner Gilman, who has investigated the subject, says that in his opinion this movement, if con- tinued, will materially reduce the total agricultural output of the State. In recent years hundreds of rich New York and Massachusetts people have bought up farms and occupied them during the summer only, cultivating only such land as they wished for the raising of flowers and garden vege- tables. This policy is not in line with that advocated by the Agricultural de- partment. Vigorous efforts have been made, aided by the authorities of the University of Maine, to interest rural communities in the possibilities of farming and fruit raising. Trains have been sent throughout the country bearing lecturers, who gave talks to the farmens on scientific agriculture. The movement met with cordial re- ception.
 Perhaps farming in New England will never be what it was Many who were brought up on New England farms heartily hope it wont be. But it may yet be much more important and well thought of than it used to be,

The worthy person is going to fare well if Mrs. Russell Sage and Pedro AL varado, the Mexican miner, carry out their plans. Mrs. Sage has many mill lions to give him, and Alvarado has more. Six years ago he was a poor miner, and now he is worth $150, GOO or so. He intends to distribute $1000O,- 900 to the poor of Mexico within thirty days. His plan is not to give cash but to provide homes and land for the poor and equip them so they can earn their living at trades or on plantations. He promises to make 10000 Mexicans inde- pendent, to educate as many poor chil- dren and to give away few millions every year. Already for several years he has been liberal giver to the poor and has built churches and school houses. ITO erect monuments, estab- fish libraries and endow great universi- ties is to but help the rich and their children" he thinks, but it neither feeds the body, clothes the naked nor saves the souls of the deserving poor.

According to the Washington Post, quoting a cashier, bank officials do not prefer fresh, new bills to old ones. Everybody doesn't care for new green backs" said the cashier. Ut is a com mon idea that bank tellers do not care to give up crisp paper money. As a matter of fact, nine cashiers out of ey- cry ten try to get rid of new money as quickly as possible after receiving it. There is grave danger to the average paying teller in handling unused money, It is the easiest thing in the world to make mistakes with new bills when in hurry to relieve long line of wait ing patrons. When possible we give out the new bills during hours when there is no rush. I'd rather pay out a million old bills than a hundred new ones"

Wood has gone up in price to $7 a cord at San Antonio, Texas. This has brought out the suggestion that the people buy corncobs for fuel, since thes care quoted on the market at $3 cord. It is contended that corncobs make good fuel. The wood dealers blame the railroads for the scarcity of wood Ora dealer said that for forty five days he had been appealing to the Railroad commission and to the rail- road for cars, without success. A deal CT was appealed to for a cord of wood, and he declined to sell that much to one customer, saying he could not sell more than dollars worth.

Rural Free Delivery.

In no other branch of our national ad-
ministration do the people feel so direct
and intimate a proprietorship as in the
post ONCE department The new appro-
priation bill for that service carries In
round numbers a total OF about $191 900, =
900, or an increase over the total OF the
present year OF $l0,000,0 200. The chair
man OF the committee on post offices and
post roads states that while the total
amount carried is greater than ever be-
fore, the percentage OF increase is lower
than for any year in the past decade. In
that time the average yearly increase
has been GA per cent, while this year 1t
is only 81 per cent. The largest item
OF increase is that for rural free delivery.
The expenditures for the current year in
that service have been S25. 900 and
for the new year s2s.000000 has been
authorized. The sum is a large one. but
the service that IL provides is of in-
estimable value and the tendency is
steadily toward making 1t self-support-
ing. 1t helps business. 1t brings remote
sections into touch with the world, It
stimulates interest in affairs, It makes
rural life attractive, and is really a force
working for general enlightenment and

The highest railroad bridge in the world
will be built across the top of the famous
Royal gorge, near Canon City, Col It
will be 2s00 feet above the hanging bridge
Of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
so high in the air that the roaring OF the
Arkansas river below will not be heard
and the powerful stream will look like a
thread of silver running between the
frowning cliffs. The structure will be
erected in connection with the plans OF a
citizen OF San Jose Cal, to establish an
interurban system of electric railways In
Fremont county, from Canon City to
Florence and the top of Royal gorge. Con-
struction will begin March l and it is ex-
pected that the line to the top Of the
Royal gorge will be in operation some
time this summer. The cost of the inter-
urban system will be 100000 and the
suspension bridge spanning the chasm
100000 additional. 1t is six miles from
Canon City to the highest point the cleo
trio line will reach, but a tortuous road 10
miles in length will be built for the cleo
tric cars.

In spite OF the growing use of automo-
biles good horse is by no means a back
number II the census figures are to be
relied upon. During the past Is years
the population OF the United States has
increased some 27,OO0.O 900. This is about
one and four-fifths million per annum.
During this same period the increase in
the number OF horses has been in propor-
tion. Without going into details 1t may
be said that in 1890 the number Of horses
in the country was 14,214.s37 and the
value was s97s,516,562. The census
tables show that while there have been
some fluctuations in different years, on
the whole there has been steady in
crease and in 1905 the total number Of
horses in the country was 17.05T,702 and
their value was $1,000. $40 O2o. This is
gain in 15 years OF 100000 horses in
number, while the value has increased by
1922, 900 900. and still the demand for good
horses exceeds the supply. These figures
are all the more significant when II is
remembered that during this period many
thousands OF horses have been put out
OF service by the change from horse
power TO electric power by the street
railroads OF the country.

The final steps are being taken in
Austria for the completion of a revolu-
tion in the government OF that country,
which would have seemed incredible and
would in fact have been impossible only a
few years ago. The change consists OF the
introduction OF a franchise system which
win make suffrage practically universal.
The old system OF class voting Is TO be
entirely abolished. One man, one vote,
is to be the new rule. Every man who is
citizen and is "a years old, has lived
year in his electoral district and is
under no legal disabilities, is entitled to
cast one direct ballot, and no more; and
every such citizen who is 80 years old is
eligible to election as a deputy. The
ballot is to be secret, and there are to
be elaborate precautions to assure its
purity. This scheme. which is now before
the Austrian parliament, seems certain to
be enacted into law so that new parlia-
ment under the new system win be elect
ed before the end Of the present year.
This change to what is practically popu-
lar government will make the reign Of
the Emperor Francis Joseph forever
memorable. The spirit OF political free
dom is moving in all the European coun-
tries. In Russia the people are just now,
for the first time. taking share in their
own government, in Sweden. since the
separation from Norway the royal gov
ernment is making ready to grant uni
versal suffrage, and an agitation for
popular government is going on in some
OF the German states.

The report Of the New Hampshire state
bureau OF labor, Lysander H. Carroll com
missioner, which has Just been issued.
contains an interesting summary OF the
summer hotel business in that state. for
1905. Careful estimates Of the amount
OF money invested in hotels and board
ing houses, summer residences and cot
tages. summer liveries. steamboats,,
power launches, etc, foot up S22, ,2s5, ,17s.
The number Of towns taking boarders
was 21s, and the number OF boarders,
regular, transient and living in summer
homes was 3O9.243. OF this number
24,4s0 were accommodated at farm
houses. The cash received from sum
mer people was approximately S1050O,-
600, including s1,7o0.OO0 expended for
summer homes and improvements.
In prefacing his report. the commits
sioner says:
During the six years since the last
report covering this industry, for 1t is
one OF the states important industries,
there has been o very large increase in
the amount OF capital invested In summer
hotels and boarding houses. More than
one and a half million dollars have been

mountains alone, a new and magnificent
hotel is now nearing completion in the
Franconia notch replacing the long
famous Profile House. and a modern
hotel costing over 1920, 900. is being con-
structed on Lake Sunapee; In other sec
tions OF the state there mas also been a
large investment I'm new hotels and per-
manent improvements.
There has been a marked change in
the character of the summer business
in this state in the last few years. In
former years the large majority OF the
summer people were found in the hotels
and boarding houses, while in the more
recent years large numbers have built
camps and homes about our lakes and
rivers and among our hills and noun
tains. where they find rest and enjoyment
At the same time there has been in
creased demand for accommodations at
the more expensive hotels, where every
luxury can be found"
The summer business Of Vermont can
never equal that OF New Hampshire.
with the advantage which the White
Mountain region gives to the latter state.
But, nevertheless. there is suggestion
here OF possibilities which all of us
OF Vermont ought seriously to consider.

Can Never Be Waived.

We do not believe, as one Of our cone
temporaries declares, that the average
jury is incompetent, but II the law could
be amended so as to give to litigants the
choice between a trial by Judge and a
trial by jury many would take the Judge.
The constitution, however, forbids any
criminal defendant to waive a jury trial,
no matter how willing he may be. II Is
held that in his right to jury trial the
right OF every other defendant IL in
volved, and that a jury trial for every
criminal defendant is non-waivable BY
any defendant whatever. as he is the
custodian OF that right, not only for him
