POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postmaster General Meyer recon.
mends postal savings banks. He urges
that they would not only give the peo-
pie a safe and convenient place to de.
post their money, but that they would
put a stop to panics by reason of the
fact that they would stand In the
breach. placing their money in the M.
tional banks that were the subjects OF
assaults.
Postal savings banks would be banks
Of deposit, but would not carry on the
functions OF loaning. etc. performed by
the national and state banks at the
present time. 1t would be a one-sided
proposition. and while they would be
beneficial in furnishing absolute safety
to derositors, they would not be as ben,
efcial to trade and as n
banking institution hat does all the
things that banks are doing at the
present time. Their deposits would
not be returned as quickly nor as read.
lily to the channels of trade as the de
posits in n national bank. 1t would ut
best be a roundabout proceeding for
the government to accept deposits and
then In turn make deposits in other
banks, accepting security therefor.
The Republican believes there is II
way infinitely better than the propos
ed plan. Let the government guaran-
tee all deposits in national banks and
they will ut once perform all the func-
tons a postal savings bank would be
able to perform, and at the same time
the money would pass directly into the
channels of trade. About the only ar.
gument that has ever been made in
favor of n postal savings bank as
against the present national bank Is
that the government would be RESPONSE
BILE for the deposit. Remove this argp-
ment n the advocates of postal saw
ings banks would be entirely disarmed.
National banks, too, would be able to
pay to depositors more money for the
use of their deposits than the govern.
ment. The highest rate of interest
that has been suggested by any advo-
cate of postal savings banks is two per
cent, and even this interest charge
could naTuly DC returned 10 the govern
ment by the earnings therefrom. The
only use the government could make
of the deposits would be to pay of Its
indebtedness, which would take from
the people the basis now provided for
the national bank circulation, and II
would be compelled to keep on hand o
large reserve to meet drafts made. 1t
could. Of course. engage in large ir-
rigation and other semi-public enter
prises and speculate with the peoples
money in this manner, but the chances
are that loss would be suffered and
that the return under government man.
agement would not equal the outlay.
American experience has been that t
is best to leave the business interests
of the nation in the hands of private in,
%dividuals.
The national banks of the nation can
disarm Postmaster General Meyer by
advocating a government guarantee o!
depositors in national banks, them,
selves Offering to IA the expense en-
tailed.

Tho fact that Chicago has decided
not to have the bible taught in its pub
lie schools is not an indication that
the Windy City is goddess. 1t simply
means that in Chicago's schools there
viii be taught neither politics nor re
ligion. The Chicago school board was
of the opinion that a teacher, no mat
ter how sincere, would be unconscious
ly swayed by her own belief and hence
could not impartially present the great
truths of the bible in ordinary school
work. There is greater safety in the
public schools performing their legiti-
mate functions. without giving any
heed to matters of faith.

OF the 22G republican members.
Hepburn in Chair.
The caucus was called to order at
S o'clock by Representative Hepburn
of Iowa, who presided, and within an
hours time the nomination not only
of the speaker, but of all the officers

Only One New Man.
All of the successful candidates now

designated except Langum, who is Q
new officer. He succeeds the forme.

cess.
Porter Not Admitted.
The only business transacted In ad'
dition to the election of officers was
the rejection of the application of Hon
Peter A. Porter of the Thirty-fourth
district OF New York, for admission to
the caucus. Mr.. Porter vas elected as
an independent and had the support of
the democrats of this district.
Claimed to Be Republican.
Notwithstanding this he wrote a let.
ter to the chairman of the republican
caucus committee claiming to be a re-
publican and asking to be admitted to
a seat in the councils of that party.
Chairman Hepburn explained the cir
cumstances under which Mr.. Porter
had been elected, and on motion OF
Mr.. Tawney the application was laid
on the table, which action was equiya
lent to a denial of his request.

METHODS OF
THE SURVEY
PART TAKEN BY FEDERAL GOV
EMINENT IN DEVELOPMENT
OF MINING INDUSTRY.
In No Other Country Has Economic &C.
oIogy Been Applied to the Develop
ment Of Industry With Such Benc-
ficent Results as in the United
Satisfaction at Congress.

In a speech before the Tenth Mining
congress, held at Joplin, Mo-, Novem.
Der II to 16, the director of the United
States geological survey referred to the
enormous growth of the mining indus
try in the United States within the
last t~wenty-eight years, which covers
the life Of the bureau. When the sur
vey was organized the value of the
mineral output of the country amount
ed to about 100000, 900; in 1907 it
promises to exceed $4,000, 000. 1000.
Plays important Part.
In this development the United
States geological survey has played an
important part. A leading mining
journal has within a few years stated
that In no other country has economic
geology been applied to the develop
ment of the industry with such benefi-
cent results as in the United States,
and no other geological survey has o n
tributed so much to the practical ap-
plication of the science Of geology to
mining operations"
According to the :sians of Director
Smith, the future work of the geologi-
cal survey In its relation to the mining
industry includes.
Classification Of Mineral Lands.
First, the fuller recognition of its
duty in the classification of the min
eral lands of the public domain.
Second, the rapid extension Of sys-
tematic field study OF all mineral de-
posits, S that geological exploration
may keep in advance Of economic de
velopment.
Third, the further development of
the survey as a source Of authoritative
and d~isinterested information, for the
benefit of the prospector or the land
owner.
Fourth, the broadening and improve
ment of the methods of collecting min
eral statistics, with the purpose of Sc
curing more accurate returns and Of
expediting their compilation and pub.

Fifth, the investigation Of processes
relating to the mining and later treat,

products, in 50 far as such invesdga-
ton may be fundamental to the best

Sixth, the preparation Of reports that
will better meet the needs OF the min
