Apple Prices by the Dozen.

Buying apples by the dozen, 81 or
more for twelve of them, is a COM
monplace to-day. Twenty years ago
1t was proceeding seldom heard of,
and even ten years ago it was con-
sidered a transaction in finance so
high that only those who found their
necessities among the luXuries
thought of being a purchaser at such
terms. And it is not one kind alone
that has this price put upon il. There
are many-seven, or possibly more
that bring this figure, which is no
longer considered fancy, and the sup
ply of them creating demand, there
are plenty of buyers to take them
home. The case invites speculation
as to whether an orchard for these
apples of gold alone Is not better
paying proposition, after all, than a
hen farm.-Boston Transcript.

Postal Banks in Philippines.

Though, as official reports sent
out by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency say, the people of the Philip
pines are proverbially improvident.
yet the postal savings banks estab-
lished few months ago are meet
ing with fair measure of success.
The report for November last
showed: Accounts opened during the
month. 16S; accounts closed during
the month, only 1S; accounts open
Oh November 80. 36S: number of
deposits in November, 3O7; amount
deposited in November. s63,S17;
average size of deposit, S2OS.05,
The large average size of the de-
posits indicates strong preference by
the Filipinos and other residents
there for Uncle Sam as their banker.
The largest individual balance in No
vember was $6240, and the small
est was 81.
The 36S accounts belonged to 4S
natives, 3S foreigners and 2S7 Amer
leans. Native accounts and deposits
will materially increase by the sale
of postal savings stamps through the
schools of the islands. In that way
this new work Is educational.
BY occupations the depositors are,
in order as named. clerks, soldiers,
policemen. teachers, engineers, civil
engineers, students, teamsters, in-
spectors, machinists, printers, car
penters, seamen, draughtsmen,
nurses, and los unclassified.
SO far the banks number nine, and
are located at Manila, Cayite, Camp
Overton, Cebu, Dagupan, Iloilo. Lu-
cena, San Fernando. and Tacloban.
The rate of interest allowed is two
and one-half per cent. Interest is
paid on interest not drawn.

As TO SIGNED ARTICLES.
Plan Not Received With Sufficient
Favor by the Public.

The New Orleans Picayune recent
ly printed the following interesting
comment with regard to signed arti-
cles in daily newspapers:
Not many months ago prominent
London journalist came to America
to revolutionize the style and quality
of the newspapers In this country.
Experiments were tried on several
prominent papers, but they seem to
have failed, as all the innovations
were abandoned, and the papers In
question resumed their former meth
DDS and regulations.
It Is now announced that another
prominent British journalist proposes
to introduce into New York news
paper the rule Of having only signed
articles. 1t appears that reporters
and editorial writer's. are to sign
their contributions under the pro.
posed change.
1t is difficult to see any benefit
that is to inure to the journal itself,
although the new method may en-.
able individual writer's to make
reputation. But great newspaper
should have its own character, char.
acteristics and individuality.
All it's writers should work to
particular standard and to the same
general goal. The entire writing
staff should march together like an
army and deliver its fire in the form
nj l,o ro n To CT 10
1t is the cooperation and unity Of
action of the various parts of an
army, and not the disconnected acts
of individuals in the ranks, that
bring the best results.
A newspaper which is made up of
signed articles is merely repository
of disconnected statements of fact
and opinion. 1t can exert no influ-
ence, because 1t can have no individ.
uality.
A public journal properly conduct
ed comes to acquire tho confidence
of the people who read it, and they
want to know its utterances on i'm
portant questions of morals. public
policy and other matters Of public
policy.
1t Is known that the individuals
who conduct a newspaper and are
responsible for It's character are
vastly more careful in formulating
and expressing the papers opinions
than If they were talking for them
selves.
The experiment of introducing
signed articles in the columns Of
daily newspapers has been tried be-
fore, but in no instance has it been
received with sufficient favor by the
public to warrant it's establishment
as a permanent feature.
1t makes no difference to the aver
age newspaper reader, whether
given article is written by Bill Jones
or Tom Smith. The article shows
for Itself; IL it Is cleverly written,
we'll and good. and If 1t is not, the
reader will hold the newspaper re-
sponsible for it.
The assumption Is that every news
paper employs only writer's OF the
best ability for special work, wheth-
er editorial or otherwise, and unless
there is some particular reason for
the attachment Of signature there
to 1t is difficult to see how the gen.
eral reader has any real interest in
the matter. In any event the news
paper must bear tho burden Of its
acts, and it is in no degree lessened
by crediting the articles in question
to the individual.-Fourth Estate

Mr.. Roosevelt at Vicksburg.

Though he spoke to the people of
Vicksburg on a subject of vital inter
est to all residents Of that region, the
subject of improving the levees by
federal assistance so that the terror
of floods may pass away from a broad
district of marvellous fertility, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's most striking words
had reference to another matter
He had been introduced to the great
audience of Mississippians by the
Yazoo valleys most conspicuous citi-
zen, Congressman John Sharp Will
liams. There in the chief city of the
Yazoo delta, throughout practically
the whole extent of which every bale
of cotton is taxed 81 for levee i'm
provements the people naturally re-
ceived with enthusiasm this declara
tion made by the chief executive:
"In my next message to congress |
shall advocate as heartily as | know
how that the congress now elected
shall take the first steps to bring
about the deep channel way and the
attendant high and broad leyee sye-
TEN which will make of these alluvia1
bottoms the richest and most popu
lous agricultural land not only in this
nation but on the face of the globe"
But the president said also, and the
public will believe that he spoke
truly:
MIR. Williams has said that for a
day we can sink all mere party diff
ferences. Since l have been president
I have found that most of the time
have needed to sink them, because the
differences of party are of small i'm
portance compared to the great funda-
mentals Of good citizenship upon
which all American citizens should be
united"
This is a lesson which Americans
everywhere ought to learn.
