A LESSON IN
 BANKING.

America has learned more than one lesson in details of government from slew Zealand, and it may find word of encouragement and advice regard ing the proposed establishment of system of postal savings banks from the young country in the Pacific Con sui General Prickett, writing from Auckland on the operations of the government postal savings banks in New Zealand, says:
 eone of the greatest aids to the f. nancial power of France. with it's an nu&I investing surplus Of s85o,ooo,ooo to $500 o.oooOoO. is the facility with which it's people can invest their small savings with absolute security. The government system of postal savings banks enables investors to deposit small sums in the postofices, upon which they draw interest, with the right to withdraw them at will
 New Zealand is a young country, but it has adopted this system with the most gratifying success. Postal savings banks were established by tae colonial government in 1867. On December 31. 1906. there were 54o postoflces open for the transaction of savings bank business. with 2ss.746 accounts, covering a total deposit of SIS. .7s6,3 1925. an average of a little over s1se.5e to each account, and repre- sentiag a sum equal to s56 head for the entire population of the colony.
 Deposits may be made Of shilling GA 1-3 cents upward. but interest is reokoned only on complete Pounds Cs4.ssl. interest is allowed from nonth to month. commencing with the first day. Deposits made on the sec .one and subsequent days do not draw snserest until the first of the month succeeding. Accounts may be drawn upon at any time, but interest is al lowed on the sum withdrawn only ur to the first day of the month of with drawal. The interest due to each de positor Is calculated to December 3 Of each year and is then added to ths principal. The rate of interest al present is three and one-haIf per cent ap to $500; from $500 to 5000 thrse per cent; above ss0oe no inter ess Is paid Charitable institutions however. may draw interest at tn. maximum rate for any amount the, may desire to deposit

TEMPERANCE IN CHIHUAHUA.

Something like two years ago Gov ernor Creel of the state of Chihuahua, in our sister republic. secured the passage of new laws and regulations for the control of the liquor trafic. The number of safooris in that state were greatly curtailed and in certain places no saloons were permitted al all. The new regulation of the liquor traffic has worked we'll Concerning its good result the Chihuahua Enter prise says:
 The last year, or a little more, has witnessed a wonderful decrease in in temperance among the people in thi' state. and especially so among the laboring classes. The change is ap- parent to the casual observer in the healthier appearance of the working people and the better clothing of their families. Here in this city the improvement has been very marked in that time.
 The credit for this change is who'll ly due to Governor Enrique c. Greet, who, while acting governor, caused laws to be passed limiting the num- Der of saloons to the population of the towns and putting such places un- der strict regulations and higher Ii cense, The result has been the clean ing out of the cheap dives which were frequented by the laboring classes, and. as a consequence, the great less ening of drunkenness
 While acting governor, MT, Creel starred the study of a scheme look ing to the organization of a benevo- lent corporation. the object of which vast to start other places of amuse- ment sell soft drinks, etc, as coun- ter attraction to saloons. to acquire the latter and conduct them better with view to their gradual extinc- ncn. His plan is modeled somewhat after that which has proved success ful in Sweden and Norway. Now that l
 Mir. Creel s constitutional governor he will no doubt take up the subject again for there is still a great deal to be done and the good work is only begun.
 Tn this connection we cannot helr but refer again to the lumber town oi Madeira where no saloon has yet been allowed and where comparatively lit tie liquor has ever been smugsled in In number of visits we have mad, there we never saw better anc healthier lot of laboring people ant there were as many as 1900 a goo, part of the time. This statement ap plies to both the native and the for eign laborers, btu especially to thu former. Never in the history of ta' state, were so many gathered iu on place where there were so few crime committed as at Madera.
 The curtailment of saloons ant their closer regulation, as mentioned has brought with them very consid erable decrease of crime. We are 10 informed that there has been any com pilation of data or the subject yet but the gerat improvement is easy |
 be seen by anyone who has lived her for the past three or four years"

LIONS SHARE NOT FOR WIDOW
Silent Smiths Nephew to Get Bulk
of Fortune.
Latest Alleged Authority Declares
Millions VIII Go TO Son of
Dead Mans Sister.

New York, May Mrs. James Henry
Smith will not receive the major share
of Mr. Smiths fortune, according to a
high authority. One of Mr.. Smiths
nephews. a son of his dead sister, Mrs
Mason, viii probably come in for the
lions share of the estate Mrs. Smith
however, has been generously pro-
vided for In addition.
Herman S. lie Roy. the manager of Mr..
Smiths estate, refused to discuss the
estate when seen to-day. AS to the re-
ports of a threatened contest. he would
only say: I have heard nothing about II.
If any of Mr.. Smiths relatives contem-
plate a contest, which / do not think
likely, I have heard nothing Of it. I doubt
strongly that any lawyers have been
placed under retainer, as has been as
serted"
Another man, however, who is in pesi
ton 10 know as much about Mr. Smiths
affairs as Mr. lie Roy. is the authority for
the statements as 20 the viii. The value
of the estate which has been estimated
at $1,000, coo to $50. 900. 600. can safely be
accounted as not more than $50, ,000, coo, and
not more than a few hundred thousands
below that figure
The two nephews, one of whom is as
serted TO be likely TO receive the bulk of
the Smith millions, are George G. Mason,

tendent of the Chicago Milwaukee and

president of the City National Bank of
