The local savings banks of the city can help the present financial situation very much if they will only use good judgment when people call for their savings. The man or wo- man that wants it to buy the neces- saries or even the luXuries of life should, in the minds of many people, be allowed to have it; but the per son that wants to tuck it away in an old stocking or in the chimney pot should he made to live up to the ninety day rule The spending of this money makes business better all around. and even the savings banks should not tie up the money so closely that business must suffer. The holidays are coming on and people will spend more money now than they have the past few months. The circulating of this money will help to clarifv the situation more than will the tying of it up in the savings banks Let us all look al the thing in the proper light, stop calamity bowling, and no one will need tn suffer.

We are told that E. E. Thomas, a New York banker, in his seventy horse power French car, drove from the Yale field in New Haven to The Elton in this city in forty minutes. The laws of the state do not allow any of it's citizens to drive at such @ speed, then why should rich banker of New York be allowed to break the Connecticut statutes? If the trip was made in forty minutes, the car must have been driven at the rate of a mile minute part of the distance Whose business is it to call the rich banker for his fast driv- ing? Perhaps if he maimed or killed one or two or more people on the way the authorities in some of the towns he passed through would sit up and take notice.

Extraordinary efforts for relief are being made in all directions, says Banker Clews. Many millions of clearing house certificates have been issued in various parts of the country, irrespective of New York city. We have already engaged about $60,O00,- GOO of gold-the best and most natural form of relief---and the na- tional bank circulation is being rap- idly expanded, about $7O000,O00 hav- ing been added in October alone. By such means the banks have been en- abled to materially ease the strain on credit. It was unfortunate that this stress comes during the crop moving time. but relief does not seem far distant, and the tangle is work ing out it's own solution. The grain movement has been distinctly stim- ulated by financial stringency, west ern holders being compelled to sell and Europe fortunately coming in as q free buyer q the emergency. Very likely this may prove to our loss, for the worlds wheat crop is decidedly short and we are losing the chance of selling our surplus at better price later on: but this is one of the pen alties of past eXcesses. The real benefit to us comes in the freer im- portati ion of gold which is affording the best form of relief Our cotton situation, however, is still problem. The exports of this staple have fallen off considerably. southern holders persistne in holding the crop for bet ter prices.

 submit to the house the question, Shall MT Burton of Ohio be re- lieved from all further duty on the committees of the house?" In other words, unless MT Burton does pre- cisely as he is told by the speaker, serves as chairman of rivers and harbors and ceases his efforts to get on ways and means, he will be de- prived of all his committee assign ments MT Cannon is first of all things a stand batter" and he is wholly unwilling to permit a reyis-

The peace conference of the Gen. tral American republics is occupying the center of the stage, and the open ing ceremonies were informal, though quite impressive. Secretary Root opened the conference with au able and most felicitous speech in which he expressed the eradication of the people of the United States that the states of Central America feel they will find here an atmosphere favor- able to the development of ideas of peace and unity, and assured the dele gates of the sincere and friendly de- sire for success in their labors on the part of the United States. And MT Root declared that nothing could prevent the people of these five re' publics from living together ill peace and unity, except the ambitions of in- dividuals who care more for their own selfish purposes than for the good of their country.

PAYMENT BY CHECK.
Part Which Check System Plays in
 Commercial Transaction.

It is announced that one Of the great mining companies will, on the next pay day, pay its employees by checks. and it is likely that this prac- tice will prevail generally and pos sibly for some time. Employers "f labor. will of course, do all they eau to save their employees trouble ana Inconvenience No doubt the checks will be made for such small amounts that it will be easily possible to casn them at any store. There is no ad- vantage in this for the employer on the contrary. it is much easier to pay in cash than to make out hundreds and thousands of checks ln one sense tue cash system is >conven- eint for the banks. For it involves less bookkeeping. So, it is well to bear in mind that the check fysteE' k resort4d to only as a matter Of na- cessity. It would be easier for the banks to pay one large pay roll check than to pay. and keep the record ot multiplicity of small ones. So there is no individual gain for any one. and' of course. no thought of that
 In ordinary times no questions would be raised. Men pay their bills constantly with checks. and so no merchant ever objects to their doing so. Employers of labor have done tho same thing. though this is not the rule The schol teachers of the city are-as they were recently-paid hy check. The only change is that the thing now seems to be necessity, whereas. hitherto. it has been only matter of convenience. We have ai! of us made too little use of the check system. which is excellent and most economical in that it adds to tie ef- fiCiency of our currency by enabling fl 10 do a larger work Money Is mere tool. precisely as a SAW is To have too much money is as foolish as to have tco many saws. No one can ever tell how much money is needed any more than he can tell how many saws are needed. But we know that an invention that would enable one saw to do the work of three saws would be a good thing. IL is precise r. so with the cheek
 But men who have not been sccus- toned to being paid in this way may fear that they will be subjected to some inconvenience. They need have Bo such fear They can pay their i.ills with the cheeks of their employ CT just as well as they cOuld pay them VI lfh their own checks If they have bank deposits-and it is tO be Eope,l that many of them hsve-they can farusit tho check that they receive to rhefr ozn account If they have 1ot. lie bank ufu cash it If there is 10 bank in the ueizhborh0od- the msr- chants will. ss ve have ssid act as banker.

HOW BOOKS SELL.

Someone with turn for statistics has been compiling a graded list of best selling books for a period of five years, as shown by The Book man lists. According to this list the twelve Best Sellers" for these years, with the number of points credited to each, are as follows:

 Kingdom Come (Fox) .. S66 12. Lady Baltimore (Wister). S4S As will be seen from this list, only two authors. Owen Mister and Win ston Churchill. have two books in the list. and this is all the more surpris- ing as these authors are both known to be rather slow workers. Although Mir Mister stands at the head of the list with The Virginian." MT Churchill leads slightly in the total number of points, with 2,s5T. as against MT wister's 2.5S7.

LITERATURE BY THE TON.
Enormous Amount of Printed Matter
 Distributed in United States.

Over 3O,OOO,OOO pounds of print ed matter designed for general dis tribution was shipped in one month of last year by publishers, at the rate of one cent a pound, and the hundred largest post offices in the United States, ranging from New York at the top to Fort Worth, Tex, at the foot, the total amount of such shipments having risen from 476,oOO,OOO pounds in 1904 to 643,- OOO,OOO pounds in 1905. These shipments of printed matter, collect ed and transmitted by the post office department, constitute a very fair gauge of the distributing points of news and the relation which they bear each other is peculiar and has little reference to population.
 New York stands at the head with more than 30 per cent. of the whole shipments of the country, Chicago follows with about two- thirds of the shipments of New York. Then follows St. Louis, Phil adelphia and Boston, in the order named (Boston's shipments seeming unduly low), and then Kansas City, Cincinnati and Augusta, Me, (the shipments from Augusta seeming unduly high). Minneapolis, San Francisco, Pittsburg, Detroit, St. Paul, Cleveland and Milwaukee fol- low-all of them minor but popu- lous cities-and then come Spring field, O., and Elgin, H., two small places, Springfield being notable on account of its output of agricultural machinery, and Elgin on account of it's manufacture of watches and ship ments of dairy products. Baltimore is next in line, then Denver, Omaha, Des Moines, Atlanta, Lincoln, Nash vile, Louisville, Indianapolis and Washington. Bangor, Me-, exceeds Buffalo; Dallas, Tex, exceeds New Orleans; Brooklyn has shipments a little larger than those of Water vile, Me, and Rochester, \. '.

HAD GONE DOWN THE RIVER.
His Strip of Land Somewhere on the
 Old Mississippi.

I had bought piece of land few miles below Memphis on the Arkan- sas side, and three years after l happened to be in that locality and went to see about it. On making inquiries of the nearest settler he said:
 "Wall, stranger, about two years ago I planted that land O yours to corn. The crop promised to be powerful big one, and l reckoned on paying off my debts with it. l went out one mawning, however, and the pesky land was gone."
 'FBut where had it gone to-" l asked.
 '"The river had cut in and took 1t across to the other shore. It wasn't in this state no mo. l went over on the other side to see about it, but a critter had jumped my co'nfeld and said he was gwine to hang on to 1t"
 "And then what?"
 fWall, he reaped the corn and next year planted the ground to yams. Them yams was about ready to dig when I got up one mawnin' to find that the river had cut in and thrown the land back on this side l jumped it at once. The feller come over to see about it, but 1 told him I wasn't disputin' the way of Provi- dence. Powerful big crop of yamS I had that fall"
 'Well?"
 'Wall, I was maxim ready to plant con ag'in last spring when l got up one mawnin' and looked out and your land wasn't there any mo. Jest clean gone"
 "Gone over to the other side again, had it?"
 "No, sah. It has got tired of loafn' around yere and started down the river, and the captain of a steam boat told me he had met it 30 miles down stream. I don't know how bad you want that land, sah, nor how patient you are, but it appears to me that you'll have to wait around  till the old Mississip gifts ready to run up stream and bring it back. "- Exchange.
