the postmaster general. The primary

Of postal savings banks to give them
IN opportunity to husband their re-
sources. particularly those who have
not the facilities at hand for deposit

Viewed. however. from the experience
" the past few weeks. it is evident
hat the advantages of such an institu-
ton are still more far-reaching. Tim
id depositors have withdrawn their
savings for the time being from ma

has been withheld and kept in hiding

danger in laws of this kind. which
from their very nature are difficult Of

the publication Of both contributions
and expenditures Of such funds. And
he makes this novel suggestion: The
need for collecting large campaign
funds would vanish If congress provid-
ed an appropriation for the proper
and legitimate expenses Of each Of the
great national parties. an appropria-
ton ample enough to meet the neces-

NEVER PRINTED, YET A LIBEL.
Hawaiian Editor Sent to Prison on
Charge of Lese Majestic.

Munich. March 9.-Herr Leib, editor Of
the weekly newspaper, the Grobian. pub
lished i'm Munich. has been sentenced to
six months imprisonment for lese mai
este against the prince regent of Ba-
vaTia. Herr Leib published a picture in
his journal representing the prince regent
in bed, sitting Up and staring at the
shade Of the late King Ludwig H. Under
the picture are the words. "A good con-
science is a soft pillow
A remarkable thing about the conviction
is that the number Of the Grobian in
which his picture appeared had not been
published, but had only been submitted
TO the police for approval Leib denied
that he had any intention Of insulting the
prince regent lie only intended 10 crit
icise the regents passive attitude toward
a large number Of persons who insist
that the late King did not commit suicide
in the Stamberg Lake as is generally
supposed. but was murdered.
1t appears that Leib had already de-
cIared that the Kings attendants at he
time were overpowered by the murdereTs.
According TO Leib, the regent should in
yestgate these statements and free the
late King from the charge that he was
mentally deranged and committed suicide.
