President Recommends
Postal Savings Banks.
NJ commend to tho favorable ccnsid-
Grafton OF the congress u postal saw
ings bank system. as recommended by
the postmaster general. The primary
object Is to encourage among our peo-
pie economy and thrift and by the use
of postal savings banks to give them
an opportunity to husband their re-
sources. particularly those who have
not the facilities at hand for depositing
their money In savings banks. Viewed.
however, from the experience OF the
past few weeks. II IL evident that the
advantages of such an institution are
still more far-reaching. Timid depos-
itors have Withdrawn their savings for
the time being from national banks; in
dividuals have boarded their cash and
the workingmen their earnings; all
OF which money has been withdrawn
and kept In hiding or In the safe de-
posit box to the detriment OF PROS
perity Through the agency of the pos
tai savings banks such money would be
restored to the channels of trade to
the mutual benefit of capital and labor.
Il further commend to the congress
the consideration OF the postmaster
generals recommendation for an ex-
the rural routes. There are now a.
215 rural routes. serving nearly 10000
900 people who do not have the ad-
vantages of the inhabitants OF cities In
obtaining their supplies. These recon-
mendations have been drawn up to
benefit the farmer and the country
storekeeper; otherwise, 1 should not
favor them. for believe that It Is good
policy for our government to do every
thing possible to aid the small town
and the country district. 1t Is desirable
that the country merchant should not
be crushed out.
The fourth class postmasters' con-
vention has passed very strong reso-
luton In favor OF placing he fourth
class postmasters under the ,-serv-
Ice law. The administration has al
ready put into effect the policy OF re-
fusing to remove any fourth class post
masters save for reasons connected
with the good of the service: and IL 10
endeavoring so far AS possible to re-
move them from the domain OF partisan
politics. II would be most desirable
thing to put the urth-class postmas-
ters In the classified service"
He renews his recommendations of
last year In regard to Alaska; calls at
tention to the admission OF Oklahoma

Corporation Contributions

Under our form OF government voting

moreover fundamental and necessary
duty IL man Is to be q good citizen.
1t Is well to provide that corporations
shall not contribute to presidential or
national campaigns. and furthermore to
provide for the publication OF both con-
tributions and expenditures There is.
however. always danger In laws of this
kind, which from their very nature are
difficult of enforcement; the danger being
lest they be obeyed only by the honest,
and disobeyed by the INSCRIPTIONS. SO

men. Moreover no such law would ham,
