An Evolution in Banking.
The changes in methods and sys-
TENS of the world are moving rapidly,
but the idea that l have just outlined
would be an evolution in the banking
business, and why should this country
not be the first to adopt this method?
There could be no doubt of its working
to the entire satisfaction of both the
banker and depositor, and if once
adopted by us, it would be but a short
time until every nation in the world
would "fail in line" If this method of
banking could be adopted at once, it
would be the grand event of the wind
ing up of the year 1907. With my best
wishes, | am, very respectfully,
EDWARD IVINSON.

SENATOR FRoM WISCONSIN.

THE Legislature of Wisconsin is in a tangle
4 over the election of Senator to succeed
United States Senator Spooner who recently re-.
signed The friends Of the element Of the party
headed by Senator LaFoette are divided and
because of this DIVISION there has been no election.
They have a majority Of the members and a
they combined they would pick the successor Of
Spooner.
Two of the staunchest lieutenants of LaFol-
ette are contestng for the senatorship and be-,
cause OF this the leader himself is keeping hands
off their fight He could not well interfere, with
out causing dssensons in his own ranks The
friends Of the movement that has been headed
by LaFollette are anxious only that a senator
in accordance with his views should win the COW
cited prize If the division and opposition con
tnue, it is possible that one Of the opponents OF
the present senator may win and the element
that has been opposed 90 the administration and
policies of President Roosevelt would have
another supporter which would be deplored by
those who wish to see the present course con
tnued.
The eyes Of the country look to Wisconsin
which has been foremost in the work Of correct.

this is not surprising for out Of the department

ROOSEVELT ANp HueHEs.

THE President appears to have stirred up a
i hornets nest in New York State where he
las removed several Federal oficeholders who
rave been dstastefu to the administration Of
Governor Hughes. AT once it is assumed that
sAe President will support the Governor for the
next Republican Presidential nomination.
Il is doubtful, however whether Mr.. Roose-
welt will commit himself to any single candidate.
Hughes record as Governor of New York has
commended itself to President Roosevelt as it
has to every other right-thinking man, and the
Chief Magistrate is interested in seeing that the
work OF reform shall continue in the Empire
State For some weeks past Governor Hughes
has been blocked in his efforts TO secure legisla-
ton in accordance with the promises he made
when candidate for governor during the last
campaign Only recently has the political coterie
that has been attempting to thwart the efforts of
the Governor showed signs of yielding. And
even this was after Mr. Hughes had appealed to
the people and showed how impossible it was for
him TO secure the reformatory legislation unless
he was backed by strong and substantial public
sentiment. This public approval has been forth
coming and the Governors measures will likely
be adopted by the Legislature 1t is the manly
course of the Governor that has won the approval
Of the President, but it IS too much to say that
Roosevelt win be behind Hughes in a race for
the Presidential nomination. And it is hardly
likely that the Governors political career, as
brief as it has been. will land him SO soon in a
Presidential nomination. AS far as the White
House is concerned, the occupant thereof will
probably favor any man as the next Presidential
standard bearer who will support the policies put
in force by the President, and which have won
such hearty approval throughout the country.

Use The Water Rights.
The possibility Of the city requiring
the water rights now owned or con-
troled by the William Lea & Sons
Company having assumed tangible
form, I have included herein a state-
ment showing the estimated value o.
said rights to he city, and hlva also
made some progress towards designing
the arrang gements whereby IN the event
of the.acquisition Of these water rights
an Of the available energy represented
by the development Of the water power
at the city mill Immpins station could
be concentrated and utilized IN the
pumpage OF water. These investigations
have progressed sufficiently to demon-
atrate that by building new head
gates; deepening ana widening the city
race for one-thlrd Of it, length; and
putting IN smootd cement invert fol'
its entire length, its capacity can be
increased to over two hundred million
gallons per day. a capacity equivalent
to the fun utllizable flow Of the stream.
With this amount Of water all under
unrestricted control, and with an avail
able head OF 10 feet minimum, and %
feet maximum, two SETS Of turbine
wheels could he installed to operate
two sets OF pumps, one shaving a daily
capacity Of nearly three million, and
the other set a capacity aoproximating
six million gallons, or coirbined ca

tions of creek water ana capable o.

OF the facts and figures quoted it would
seem from a disinterested point of view
as though the estimated value Of Sl75,-

should he taken as fair ard conserva-
tive. The pumpage can 90 on for
twenty-four hours per day without in

water power does not have to be sup

amount equal to the dlily consumption
OF the city at the present time could
be pumped by water power.

cHEsTER's BOARD OF TRADE.

n HESTER is stirring. 1t has heard OF the
~ industrial progress and activity in this
city Chester has had an idea, judging from the
genial Times of that CITY, that the chief product
OF Delaware has been political gas. We have had

not get a notion that we devote all our time to
politics There is something else in Delaware,
thank heaven, besides politics.
One Of the good things that the Times has dis
covered in Delaware is the Board of Trade, and
rightly it wants Chester TO emulate the example
OF Wilmington in creating progressive Board
Of Trade. The Times calls for an active Board
OF Trade in Chester and believes that if the COM
mercal body Of our neighbor had meetings at

would soon have population of $1,000 and
