Twenty-two years ago the savings
bank system was inaugurated in the
public schools of Long Island City,
and FL. Thirty, who is rounding out
life Of eighty-six years the greater
part of which he has devoted to the
cause of educatiOn, has b9en identi-
fled with the system since its incep-
ton. He has made II report which
is of interest because he has had am
pie opportunity to study the matter
and to appreciate the benefits to be
derived ffom a savings bank depart
ment in the public schools. Mr..
Thirty says:
"Admonished by years which have
far exceeded those usurlly ellotted to

The policy of the State in encour-
aging manufacturing by exc mpting
it from State taxes is Il rational one
and is amply vindicated by results
If the State could do without rev
enue from this source in the days of
its poverty, it surely need not impose
such tax now, when it Is entirely
free f ON debt. The bill is probably
unconstitutional, because it violates
the rule of uniformity in discrimin
aiing between large and small capi
| tai and between manufacturing con
Germs owned by incorporated com
panies or limited partnerships, and
those owned by individuals, or gen
eral partnership. But, apart from
its unconstitutionality, its bad policy
ought to kill it. The Senate has
still to act upon it, and we cannot
believe that it will be so shortsighted
as to consent to its passage.
A new Russian loan of $50, ,000, 90
is being talked of in Europe which
fact calls attention to the very low
state of that country's credit.
Americans are so accustomed t.
see the bonds of their own govern
ment sell at a handsome premium
that it is difficult for them to realize
that even per cent national bonds
can sell at IA big discount.
The decline of Russia's credit has
been extremity swift. Ten years ago
its per cent bonds sold at l54 and
they are now 81, being drop of 60
per cent One issue of 3 ID per cent
have sunk SO points, while the IS
and As are down to 80 per cent as
compared with the price jnst one
decade ago.
When the idea gets firmly es,ab-
lished that good roads are perma.
nent Investment, and that their con-
struction means continual money
saving, the matter will not be looked
ut askant any longer. Rock roads
are permanent investment, and in a
country where rock abounds so free
ly as here all principle roads ought
to be mccadamizcd.

Wheat in Chicago Monday rose to
the magic dollar mark. Crop re-
ports which indicate heavy damage,
stimulated enormous buying, and
that sent the price of the "staff of
Iife' flying upward. The farmers
will not lose much, even if the Win
ter wheat yield does fall off 100 000,-
00o bushels. The price they receive
for a crop four-ffth as large as
that OF last year will equal the
money obtained for the banner har-
vest of 1906. But because the farm.
er will get as many dollars for
small crop as he would for big one
it does not follow that there is no
loss in an inferior harvest. To cut
off 100, 900, 900 bushels of wheat,
which would have been sold to Eu-
rope, is like losing apout 75,0W, 600
of imported foreign gold. 1t is a
dead loss. The Americad consumer
stai pay the american farmer as
much for the bread they consume
next year as the American cousum-
ers and the foreign buyers paid for
the bumper crop of last year, The
result is that the farmer comes out
even, the home consumer fOOtS all
the bill, and the country at large
losses the beneficial effect of an in
flow of millions of foreign gold.

Farmers living about Hill Church
Lancaster county, are disturbed over
the antics of Il supposed wild man
According to per- ons who have
seen him, the wild man carries a
bowl made of tree bark, and seem to
have neglected to visit a barber for
several years. Several times he has
been observed to bow politely to Il
clump of trees, a performance which
he concludes each time with
terrible whoop and quickly vanishes.
Thomas Stoltz, of the Willow
Grove Mills recently shot the largest
black hawk of the year. Standing
at distance of 800 yards he picked
the bird from large buttonwood

six inches from tip to tip of the
wings. Muncy Lunminary.
Sears, Roebuck and Co., the great
mail order firm of Chicago, have
closed their grocery department, the
pure food raw having driven them
clear out of business. They sold in
ferior, adulterated groceries. and tne
new law told them they must label
their goods properly. Rather than
do this they quit that part of their
business. They will continue TO
hunt suckers through their other
departments. They cannot compete
with local dealers and be honest.

UphoIds the Employers

UNCONSTITUTIONAL
His Decision Is Directly Opposed to
the Recent Rulings Of Two
Other federal Judges.

Macon. Ga. March 26.-Unitcd
States Judge Speer OH Monday in the
case Of Lucy Snead. administratrlx,
vs. the Central OF Georgia Railway
Co.. upheld the constltutionality OF
the employers liability act passed by
the last congress. This decision Ia
opposed to those OF United States
Judge Evans at Louisville and Judge
Mccall at Memphis, who declared the
act repugnant to the constitution OF
the United States.
Judge Speer declared that to COM

engaged In the handling of commerce,
whether Interstate Of foreign, is
within the domain Of national legisla-
tive regulation. Congress having the
right to control commerce on the
high seas, as established BY the courts
repeatedly, 1t follows that II has tho
right to control the transportation by
land of the same commerce. The Gre

trade. held directly applicable to rail.
roads. even though chartered by
states: the law denouncing rebates
and forbidding passes in Interstate
traffic are quoted as illustrations of
the power Of congress to control such
matters.
Judge Speer shows that many states
and foreign nations have adopted the
law which congress has enacted, al
though many states, forbidding an
employe to recover for injuries sus'
tanned by the negligence of a co.em.

the law. Congress, determining that
there should be uniformity for the
