POLITICIANS NOT DECETED
Complete Change in Electorate TAX
ing PIace-SOciaIism's Effects Waa-i
ifest in Yesterdays Rcsults--Lead-
ers Ignore and Repudiate Mistakes
of Municipal Ownership.

London, Nov. 2-There is great Union
ist jubnation throughout the country
over the so-called rout of the Socialists
in yesterdays municipal election. There
never was q greater misnomer for the
result of national polling. and no broad
minded English politician is deceived by
it. least Of all the leaders Of the Union
ist party What has happened. OF is
happening, IS a complete change in the
political complexion Of the British cleo
torate.
Every form of radicalism in Britain.
until within the past year, has been in
cluded under the banner OF the Liberal
party This loose grouping has now
fallen apart. as was inevitable after the
overwhelming victory in the last general
election, The cessation Of the laborites
was expected. but the change which has
actually taken place is of far greater
significance.
Socialism, pure and simple. began a
widespread propaganda about year ago,
and its effects are first manifest IN the
result Of yesterdays election. Its work
has pretended TO be non-politicaI. It's
doctrines have been preached in churches.
school houses, meetings. -open-air assem-
blies, and In every possible guise and on
every possible occasion. So active have
been its disciples that there are now an
average of 1.5OO meetings held weekly
throughout the country So-called non
political organizations have been formed
everywhere. There are scores Of these in
London alone, with a membership of from
zoo to 1900 each, which did not exist a
year ago.
Leaders Repudinte Mistakes
The leaders ignore or repudiate the mis-
takes OF municipal ownership. which
caused the overwhelming defeat of the
progressive party in London and other
cities last spring. Those mistakes were
accounted for by saying that they were
made by amateur or impractical imltators
Of real Socialist principles. Their doctrine
is the simon pure article. which they
easily induce the half-educated classes to
believe will bring the social and political
millennium. They nominated candidates
for the first time in England in the local
campaign, which was closed yesterday
The wonder is that they elected any
body, for certainly they did not expect
to do so They actually captured six
seats in various places. They did sue
eeed. however, in changing the whole
complexion of the municipal bodies. They
split in halves the anti-Unionist vote of
the country. The result was a great
Unionist triumph. although the successful
Unionist candidates in most cases re-
/ ceived considerably short Of the majority
of the votes cast.
Political Situation Changed.
The emptiness Of the Unionist success
thus becomes apparent. 1t by no means
follows that Socialism is destined to cap
ture England On the contrary, an op-
poslte prophecy is safe. One thing It does
signify. however, and that is that the
political situation in this country has en-
tirely changed
Socialism is to become a great national
issue The leaders of both the old parties

About Postal Savings Banks.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Our European" Postmaster General is making an active campaign for post al savings banks, parcels post, postal notes and automatic stamp vendors. He has gone before several postmasters' and rural carriers and clerks conven- tions advocating those additions to the postal service. Postmaster General , Meyer was recalled from St, Peters burg to take the position in President Roosevelts cabinet. He had been am bassador to Rome and St. Petersburg for several years and returned home with his mind filled with the beauties of European life and disgusted with tn e provincialism of America. The average American thinks we have rather the best of Italy and Russia. but as we haven't associated with their majesties and the Grand Dukes, we are too pro vincial to intrude our opinions.
 Postal savings banks would tie up the country in six months. About all those who have money would deposit 1t in the postal savings banks, because they would be guaranteed absolute safe ty. and would know that they could get the money any time they called for il. Government scrip" is good. The only account worth anything to a bank Is the deposit banked as a saving. The account of the active business man, generally, is a matter of accommodations; very often it is an imposition. About all that the bans gets out of such an account is ad- Vertising. Very few business men com menee with any surplus money, the first deposit is soon checked out. tho business must grow and the merchant or manufa cturer becomes a borrower. He borrows the savings depositor' S money. This money is immediately turned into activity and benefits all business. It is absurd to presume that the national government is going into the business of loaning money, yet tn e Postmaster General advocates the pay ment of per cent interest to deposi- tors in postal savings banks. How is this interest to be earned?
 A parcels post would build up New York and Chicago and build down every ohter place in America. IL is mistake to suppose that Sears, Roe buck X Co., and Montgomery, Ward x

Co. sell only to those living in rural communities. Many citizens of Bir- mingham buy everything except gro- ceries and articles for immediate use from the mail order houses. Those firms pay no tax to the towns. cities, counties or states where their cus- toners reside. They do not contribute, in any way, to tho welfare of their customers. It is the intention of the mail order houses to sell only what they manufacture. While they adver- tise all makes of goods, the customer rarely ever gets any standard ar- ticle that has been advertised and has a known reputation. He gets a note with his purchase saying: We han pened to be out of the particular ar ticle ordered, but send you something better" They have your money and you feel that it is useless to com plain. The destruction of all com peting merchants is the steady aim of the mail order houses. If the govern ment will tax the people to pay for the transportation of their parcels, their hopes will be speedily realized.
 The postal note is a postoffice money order payable to bearer at any post office. It was in use about twenty years ago and was discarded as dan gerous, for the reasons that 1t was unsafe and unpopular. It Is just the same thing as sending money in let ter, because it does not have to be in- dorsed, is not payable to any specified person nor at any specified office. You have no recourse on the government if q postal note is lost or stolen; and 1t is no evidence of payment, if the party to whom 1t is sent denies receiving 1t.
 The automatic stamp vendors were tried under Harrisons administration street corner automatic salesmen have been discarded the machine can't turn down bad money. All the worth less coins were passed on them. The boys made lead disks the size of nicles and dimes and the automatic vendors took them for the coin of the realm
 or the four things that the Postmast- CT General will ask Congress 10 au- thorize all have been tried and dis carded, except the postal savings banks. This matter has been before Congress for half century, and Is dangerous now on account of tho action of our banks in limiting payments and saving the country from d sma shup.
